Eddie Izzard Does Darth Vader at the Death Star Canteen

GiggleSugar — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:00:00 -0700

We all need to eat, right? Even his Lord Darth Vader. Well, comedian Eddie Izzard riffs on what it would be like for Darth to do something as mundane (and beneath his dignity) as go to a cafeteria (ewww, the wet trays!). Then someone Lego-izes it. On top of that, the Death Star Canteen is manned by someone who won't just hand him his Penne al Arrabiata and keeps calling him Jeff. Jeff Vader! This is almost as bad as the time 'ol Darth's brother, Chad Vader, worked at a supermarket. . .

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: MitchelWB

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:00:00 -0700

Funny man, father, friend to his mom, and fan of GiggleSugar, MitchelWB is the whole package! I was unsure at first if "he" really was "just a small town girl," but the picture cleared it up. He's just bein' silly as usual. To find out more details about this charming fellow, read more.

GS: What’s your motto?
MWB: PLAY MORE PINBALL!!

GS: Where are you from?
MWB: "I'm just a small town girl. Living in a lonely world."
But for now, I'm in Kansas City. Go Chiefs. . . wait . . . Go Royals. . . crap! Go [insert hockey team here] . . . oh I give up!

GS: What do you do?
MWB: What don't I do? I'm a project mangler. . .er, manager. I'm also daddy, husband, pinball repairman, family handyman, and Chips Ahoy connoisseur (did I spell that right?).

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
MWB: All encompassing. If it's funny, I'll laugh. I laugh at everything from mundane booger jokes to the totally irreverent.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
MWB: I don't know if I can pick one. I've seen so many of them . . . can you name them all for me again? (GS: After some pressure, I squeezed it out of MWB). MWB: Who invited the lightweight? with the old lady holding the big can o' beer and spewing in the trash can, and Johnny Slimeball in the foreground. My mom and I sat and made up stories for that picture all day long.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
MWB: We tell my 16-month-old son that he's "such a funny man" all the time . . . does he count? He's the cutest if you ask me. But I don't guess I've ever judged a comedian by the way they look. Well, except Dustin Diamond, but he's on the wrong end of the spectrum for this conversation.

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
MWB: Male: Tough one to call. Top two that I can think of are George Carlin and Billy Connelly. The Amazing Jonathan, Rodney Carrington, older Larry the Cable Guy (back when he used to do daily radio), Red Peters, and that goofy little dude with cerebral palsy from Last Comic Standing all get some honorable mentions. You can have Eddie Izzard. Female: This is tougher. The only bit that really stands out that I can even remember as just having me hurting from laughing was a bit by Ellen DeGeneres way back when. It was a bit about the great fun you can have with your cat if you superglue a hamster to a Frisbee. Good stuff. I don't even have any honorable mentions that come to mind. You can have Eddie Izzard.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
MWB: That's easy. The Princess Bride. It's my favorite MOVIE of all time. You can find a quote from that movie to fit any situation you come across in life except for two. Funerals and this questionnaire. Hmmm.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
MWB: Canceled. All the best shows are. Can I get an "amen" from all the Michael Bluth fans out there?

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
MWB: As soon as you post my bio as GiggleSugar reader of the week I will!!

MWB free-for-all: Gee, umm, er. . . I'll just have to quote from The Princess Bride: "I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large women."

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Moni B

GiggleSugar — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:01:58 -0700

Our GiggleSugar spotlight shines this week on Moni B, shown here standing next to a chicken in a suit and a giant ear of corn (naturally). When she isn't studying her socks off at Brown University as a sociology student, she's posting witty comments on GiggleSugar. (I'm sure she has other activities to entertain her, but this is one of our faves.) Let's hear from her in her own words, and be sure to check out the gallery of images at the end of the interview.

GS: What is your motto?
MB: "I'll be everything you taught me" from "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men in memory of my high school senior English teacher. He died at the end of my first semester of my freshman year of college. He truly believed in me and treated me like I was his own daughter. I took it upon myself to do my best in his honor. (GS: What a touching tribute to his memory, Moni B! He'd be proud.)

GS:Where are you from? MB: Born and raised in Pawtucket, Rhode Island (birth of the American Industrial Revolution!) Now I'm in Providence, RI.

GS: What do you do? MB: I'm a full time college student at Brown University, candidate for a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor? MB: A little bit of sarcasm and a whole lot of silly! (GS: Can I steal that as our motto? Sounds about right!)

GS: What's your favorite GiggleSugar post? MB: Best Music Video of 2006- OK GO's "Here It Goes Again" and usually any Family Guy clip...LOVE Family Guy.

GS: Who's the cutest funny man and woman? MB: Hands down: Dane Cook. For woman it's a little harder, but definitely Drew Barrymore.

GS: Who are your favorite comedians? MB: Here are my staples: Robin Williams, Dane Cook, Greg Proops, Mitch Hedberg and Eddie Izzard.

GS: What's your favorite comedy? MB: Too many to mention. A good rule of thumb is if it has anyone from the Frat Pack, I'll dig it. Adam Sandler is also a plus. I also like, Super Troopers and Broken Lizard's Beer Fest. I'm anxiously awaiting Super Troopers 2...which reminds me...I want to go bookmark some Super Troopers clips to spread the giggles!

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be? MB: It would probably be based around quirky, silly things that happen to me every day. There's always something amusing that goes on, from blond moments to shared humorous moments with friends and coworkers. (GS: May I suggest Legally Blonde?)

GS: Do you ever get told you look like someone famous? MB: When I was younger, apparently I looked a little like Charlotte Church, but that's the end of it. And that was based on one person. So probably very little significance.

Free-for-all. About me: Moni B = Monica. 20 years old. College student/ dog lover/ reading enthusiast/ sushi addict/ health nut/ tech nerd/ I can't believe I'm doing this instead of doing homework for tomorrow.

GS: When are you online for other readers to chat with? MB: It really varies. I have such a hectic school schedule I hop on whenever I can. Ballpark estimate: usually at night.

Thanks, Moni B!

GiggleSugar's Reader Spotlight: Superjules

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 12:10:40 -0800

We love our loyal readers here at GiggleSugar, and what a diverse group they are! So we decided to spotlight one each week. Get to know who your fellow readers are! And be sure to check out the photo gallery after the interview. So without further ado...introducing Superjules.

If you don't notice her crazy avatars first, you'll find yourself laughing at her wicked comments. Superjules does not mince words! She definitely represents the wild side of GiggleSugar, and we love that she appreciates that!

In Her Own Words:

GS: What's your motto? SJ: I have a couple of them tattooed on my person. One being Carpe Diem. Latin for "Where are my keys?!" Kidding, kidding. It means seize the day. The other is Per Aspera ad Astra. Latin for through the thorns to the stars. You can also see a few of my tattoos in a blog I made from my page.

GS: Where are you from? SJ: Don't tell anybody, but I grew up in the Yuba Sutter region of California. Well known for several things. Mass murderer Juan Corona. It's been rated by Rand McNally as the worst place to live in the US several times. The now defunct Prune Festival. Holla!

GS: What do you do? SJ: Currently I am a volunteer with the Red Cross at Landstuhl Army Medical Center in Germany where the wounded are brought from Iraq and Afghanistan. I work in the ER and I also have a therapy cat named Squishy that I take to visit people. See my page and watch us on the news!

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor? SJ: I would describe my sense of humor as black, twisted and cutting.

GS: What's your favorite GiggleSugar post of all time? Your least? SJ: I love the coffee commercial post. We don't get commercials over here and I can't believe it's real. It's completely disturbing on the one hand and really catchy and upbeat on the other. I don't know whether to sing along or hide under the bed (not that hiding would help!). Least? I'd have to say the flashing lights bra post. I'm epileptic and flashing lights cause me to have seizures. So if she was in a club and her boobs were flashing I'd be on the floor "break dancing."

GS: Who's the cutest funny man and woman? SJ: I love Tina Fey. I think she's adorable. She's whip smart and has that sexy librarian thing going. The cutest funny man, that's easy. Mitch Hedberg. He was so sexy with his hair and easy-going charm. I miss him. RIP Mitch.

GS: Favorite male and female comedian? SJ: I love so many funny men it's hard to choose just one. I would have to go with John Cleese. If you could put John Cleese's brain in Ed Norton's body you would have the perfect man for me. Er...except of course for my sweet, sweet husband. And female...I'm going out on a limb here and saying Eddie Izzard. I know he's not a female but he dresses as one. He is so sharp and so quick, if you're not fully paying attention, you miss something. And I find him terribly sexy even in fishnets and heels. Especially in fishnets and heels..

GS: What's your favorite comedy of all time? SJ: Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. I grew up watching that from about age 7. Where were my parents?

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be? SJ: I haven't seen the movie but I read the book and aren't books so much better? I would say Running With Scissors. It was a rough beginning but I turned out okay.

GS: Do you ever get told you look like someone? SJ: Rose McGowan. Mostly, though, people say I look like my daughter, she's actually a clone. (SJ's daughter is in the gallery below.)

SuperJules' Free For All: "Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man...living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money." - George Carlin

GS: When are other GiggleSugar readers free to chat with you? SJ: I'm living in Germany so I'm 9 hours ahead of California and 6 hours ahead of New York. I'm online quite a bit looking up facts about everything from giant squids and furry caterpillars to photos of dead celebs. I am great to have on your team when playing Trivial Pursuit, a veritable wealth of useless knowledge.

GS: Thanks, Superjules!
