Cussing Caterpillar Teaches Kids the Alphabet

GiggleSugar — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0700

The Leapfrog Alphabet Pal is a cute toy caterpillar that's supposed to teach tykes the ABCs. Each of the caterpillar's 26 legs says a different letter of the alphabet. Kids press, play, and learn - but they're learning a little more than their ABCs! Listen in:

This guy is doing the Extreme Caterpillar on the streets of London, in spite of the risk of being fined for it. I guess if you're devoted to your art, what's a fine?

And the Winner of the "What the Hell Is Going On Here?!" Contest Is...

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!

Weird Science: The World According to Student Bloopers

GiggleSugar — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 15:00:00 -0800

A teacher started soliciting student bloopers from science teachers around the world. Here are some of the goofiest:

1. "When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire."

2. "H2O is hot water, and CO2 is cold water."

3. "When you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide."

4. "Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water."

5. "Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes and caterpillars."

6. "Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas."

7. "The pistol of a flower is its only protections agenst insects."

8. "Momentum: What you give a person when they are going away."

9. "Planet: A body of Earth surrounded by sky."

10. "For a nosebleed: Put the nose much lower then the body until the heart stops."

Bonus Blooper: "To prevent contraception: wear a condominium."
