Flashback: Empowering Women in the 1950s

GiggleSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 02:00:00 -0700

If a woman couldn't possibly open a bottle of ketchup without asking for a man's help back in 1953, then why didn't they just eliminate the middle (wo)man and empower the man to open the bottle and - gasp! - serve his damn self? It was only logical, darling.

French Fries & Ketchup Artist

GiggleSugar — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:00:10 -0700

I'm in the midst of a fried food ban. How am getting through the day, you ask? I may end up sublimating my desire for a plate of fries by using them as paintbrushes to dip into ketchup so that I can paint Ronald McDonald. Yeah, that'll be satisfying...

Painting with French Fry Grease

GiggleSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0700

I've heard of grease paints, but this is ridiculous! Some dude painted a wall using only the grease from a large order of french fries. The finished product is no ketchup painted Ronald McDonald, but it's still drop-dead impressive, in a heart attack sort of way. To think that people actually eat this...(Thanks, College Humor!)

Say What? Beth Ditto Gets Squirrelly

"Everyone's just doing their job. At the end of the day, I'm not going to be mad when someone asks if I want ketchup with my fries, and I'm not going to get mad at people if they ask if I ate squirrel as a kid. Yes, I did. A lot of 'em. Tons. Trees full."

- The Gossip singer Beth Ditto, when asked in Elle magazine's July 2009 issue if she gets sick of people asking if she ate squirrel as a kid. She's from a small town in Arkansas, and mentioned it once in an interview.

Man Eats 15-Pound Burger: Cool or Gross?

GiggleSugar — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

This dude downed a beast of a burger in just under five hours to win $400, some T-shirts, and the title of "Dude Who Ate a Giant Burger." The Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser (I'm not making that up) weighs 20.2 pounds overall, including the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, and peppers, and a cup each of ketchup, mayo, and relish. I'm kind of revolted and awed at the same time. Then again, if it were 15 pounds of nachos I'd be all over it faster than you can say "que bueno"!

Meet Tessa: The Chopstick-Wielding, Spaghetti-Eating Cat From Outer Space

GiggleSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

OK, so Tessa's not from outer space, but she might as well be. She eats ice cream with a spoon, Fancy Feast with a fork, and spaghetti with chopsticks! I know we've posted this before, but I guess there was a resurgence of interest in utensil-usin' cats while I was on vacation (naturally!) so here I am playing catch up. (Speaking of ketchup, I bet Faye taught Tessa to suck that up with a straw!)

Flashback: Andy Warhol Eats a Hamburger

GiggleSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:00:00 -0800

Is it art or awkwardness? How can something so mundane seem so unnatural? Folks, that's Andy Warhol for ya. Watch him daintily dip a Burger King hamburger into a dollop of ketchup, chew, chew, chew, finish in under three minutes, and then give the camera an unflinching look of. . .indigestion? Despair? Hope? I have no idea, but I know it's more compelling than Paris Hilton washing a car in bathing suit.

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: NyckieRocks

GiggleSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:00:00 -0800

If NyckieRocks's avatar (seen below) doesn't get your attention, I don't know what will. It's a 7-foot-tall hot dog statue ("probably one of the greatest things I've ever seen with my own two eyes," she told me) who is putting ketchup on his own head. Does that clue you in to this lady's awesome sense of humor? To learn more about NyckieRocks, read more

GS: What’s your motto?
NR: I'm always right? No, no, that's not it. That's just what I tell my husband. Hmm . . . I guess I don't really have one! Any suggestions?

GS: Where are you from?
NR: Grew up in upstate New York but living in the middle of nowhere California (thanks to the US Army and my husband being stationed here).

GS: What do you do?
NR: I'm an incubator right now . . . but searching for something that pays better than kicks to the belly.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
NR: I'll laugh at just about anything, to be totally honest.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
NR: I love the crazy tattoo posts. They remind me of my brother, who has the image of a piece of cake punching a T-Bone steak in the face - on his belly. (GS: Ummm, pictures please! Stat.)

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
NR: Demetri Martin is SO cute and SO FUNNY! Cutest girl? I dunno, I love Whoopi Goldberg . . .

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
NR: Steve Carell, and I'll have to go with Whoopi again. I just love her . . .

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
NR: Ruthless People with Bette Midler. I could watch it over and over and over again.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
NR: If they made the TV show Still Standing into a movie - THAT would be it. I swear it's my life (without all the kids).

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
NR: My friend told me once that I looked like that girl who played Robin Williams's girlfriend in Patch Adams but I'm not sure why. LOL.

NyckieRocks free-for-all: Uh, I'm awesome. Smiling I'm getting ready to pop out a kid (WOO only 3 1/2 months to go!!) And I really spend most of my days checking out GiggleSugar posts. That's pretty much it! (Oh yeah, and I need friends! Any takers?? )
