Monty Python's John Cleese on "I Could Care Less"

GiggleSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

One of the most hilarious dudes who ever lived would like to interrupt his regularly scheduled program of being ultra silly and school you on the misused expression (also my pet peeve) "I could care less." For folks who are scratching their heads, and who regularly use this, let's think for a moment. If you could care less, that means that the thing you're trying to say you don't care about, you do care about just a little because there are other things you hypothetically, could care less about. Mmmkay? But I'll let Cleese do it, cuz he's got cool charts and a better delivery.

Aaaaaargh!

You'd think this was a Monty Python skit! Every horse has a normal name, except Pirate Horse. There's Crackie CJ, Diamond League, and. . ."Aaaaaargh!"

Barack Obama to Appoint Minister of Silly Walks

CitizenSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 08:00:26 -0700

Well, if Obama takes Monty Python's John Cleese up on his offer to serve as speechwriter of his campaign, that might be true.

Cleese, volunteered his comedic services, promising to fill Obama's stump speeches full of "it's just a flesh wound" gags. Oh, please let this come true! Cleese said, "I am due to come to Europe in November but I may be tied up until then because if Barack Obama gets the nomination I'm going to offer my services to him as a speechwriter because I think he is a brilliant man."

And now for something completely different - on the campaign trail!

To see a little sneak preview of the new, improved Obama stump speech titled, "Come On, You Pansy!" read more.

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Sweetpeabrina

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0700

How can you not love someone whose many mottos includes, "Yay! Go me!" I think we have a few things to learn from Sweetpeabrina, who is an actual school teacher, so let the schooling begin!

GS: What’s your motto?
SPB: I have a couple. “In vino veritas.” Mainly because I have this bad habit of drinking wine (mmm... Pinot Noir) and telling people what I truly think. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a woman perfected without trials“ was my mantra that helped me get through my divorce to Number 1 Douchebag. And the one that I say at least twice a day, “Yay! Go me!”

GS: Where are you from?
SPB: Atlanta, GA – I love it here. I’ll always be a southern girl at heart. Lately I’ve been aching to get out! I know the grass is always greener (or scorched, in this case) on the other side, but my BFF is in San Diego and my brother is in San Francisco. I need to be in California. My parents are from St. Croix and St. Thomas, USVI, so I also like to claim that as home even though I wasn’t born there.

GS: What do you do?
SPB: I’m a teacher-8th grade, Physical Science. Most people look at me like I’m insane when I say that I really like teaching 13 and 14-year-olds. They are soooo melodramatic. Everything is such a big deal to them. They have this strange sense of humor that makes me laugh. One of my coworkers and I love to find their notes that they write to each other. If we can find one of those notebooks that they write in then pass back and forth, it makes our day. Ohh! My 7th period has me hooked on Potter Puppet Pals.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
SPB: My sense of humor is very sophomoric. I’m really silly and goofy. Much to the amusement of my friends, when I get really excited about something funny and try to tell them about it, I tend to get my words mixed up and out of order. I think that came from when I had my tongue pierced. My brain moves too fast for my mouth.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
SPB: Cute Alert: French Bulldog Pups! I melt every time I see this! I love the WTFs and the Douchebag posts! And Miss Teen South Carolina. Oh! And the Hiccupping Baby Porcupine was dang cute, too.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
SPB: I’d invite Dane Cook over any night of the week. I’m not sure if you can count Drew Barrymore, but she is funny and hot.

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
SPB: I really like stand up comedians. This will probably change but in the men category I love Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, Ron White, George Lopez, and Mitch Fatel (because he likes panties). For the ladies, I like Tammy Pescatelli (because she has class), Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, Kathy Griffin, Ellen DeGeneres.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
SPB: It’s a tie between Office Space and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you haven’t seen either of them, you must rent them this weekend. Have you seen my stapler?

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
SPB: Definitely Clueless minus the ditziness and the falling in love with my ex-stepbrother part. I don’t have a stepbrother.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
SPB: When I was little, I looked just like Rudy Huxtable! Now, not so much. I like to imagine I look like Halle Berry, but that’s only extreme wishful thinking!

SPB Free-for-all: I think I’m in danger of becoming addicted to the internet and books. I spend my free time surfing and reading. I’m addicted to HyperSugar. I’m absolutely nuts for LOL Cats. Maybe it’s because I really like my own cat, Gadget, who is curled up next to me right now. I also read a lot. I go through about two books a week, which totally sucks because books can get expensive. I could go to the library but bookstores are so much more fun. I’m totally into Monopoly. I think people’s true colors come out when they play Monopoly. The sweetest person will cuss you out when they land on your properties with hotels. Um.. there’s so much more to add but I’ll stop here. Yay! Go me!

Thanks, Sweetpeabrina!

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Tdamji

GiggleSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0700

Thoughtful, funny, environmentally aware-and a GiggleSugar fan?! We're so lucky to have Tdamji...

GS: What’s your motto?
Tdamji: "If you're not first, you're last." Just kidding, that's from Talladega Nights. Well, I suppose it would be something cheesy like "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

GS: Where are you from?
Tdamji: Well, we are all from the region now known as Africa, but seriously-here's the long version. Grandparents are from Gujarat (India), parents are from Kenya and the UK. I'm from Vancouver, Houston, where I lived from two to 12-years-old. I'm also from Calgary, where I grew up from 12 - 24. I'm in New Zealand this year on exchange, but normally I live in Vancouver. Everyone tells me my accent is either hard to place or is from a different place, and its hard to decide how I feel like spelling things: color vs. colour.

GS: What do you do?
Tdamji: I am an Art History/Anthropology student at UBC. I write a lot of the posts over at Minimal Harm and plan on creating a new mega-site in 2008. So, I guess I am also a blogger?!

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
Tdamji: I like sarcasm, and while I don't quote pop-culture quite as often as Lorelei from the Gilmore Girls, people (other than my best friend) don't know what I'm referring to most of the time, apart from my brother who knows when I am talking about something from Seinfeld, since he knows that show better than I.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
Tdamji: I love all the WTF ones, generally, but the White Dudes With Gang Signs post is the most hilarious!

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
Tdamji: Ellen DeGeneres (she looks like a very sweet and kind person) and Norm MacDonald (just looking at his goofy face makes me crack up!)

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
Tdamji: Ben Stiller, Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, David Spade, and Dana Carvey.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
Tdamji: I love a lot of the 90's buddy comedies with Chris Farley and David Spade or Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. I also love Adam Sandler and Chris Rock movies, but I also really like Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's a classic!

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
Tdamji: Something dark and subtly funny, like Stranger than Fiction or I Heart Huckabees.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
Tdamji: An auto-rickshaw guy in India told me I look like Aishwarya Rai, but I think that he was just trying to get more cab fare from me!

Tdamji free-for-all: I'm a 27 year old vegan who is really into the environment. (Nature is cool, yo!) I like to watch different genres of movies, go camping and hiking, travel a lot (I'm going to SE Asia and China next month for 6 weeks!!). I prefer to study on my own rather than via formal education, even though I am in University at the moment. I like geeking-out by playing Nintendo Wii and DS, going to farmer's markets and creative things like painting and interior design. My username is rather boring, as it is just my last name and first initial stuck together. How does my name reflect who I am? Hmm. . .

Thanks, Tdamji!

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!
