What if The Matrix Ran on Windows?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 09:00:00 -0800

Short answer? It'd be way less cool. Especially with that little paper clip with eyebrows asking if you need help all the time.

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:01:00 -0700

This cat is displaying some mad Matrix-style martial arts skills! I'm glad they slowed the video down so we could truly appreciate its artistry. (The cat lying down doesn't even know what hit him!)

Family Guy Reloaded

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:00:00 -0700

If The Matrix was a bit too metaphysical for you, here's a version that might go down better: Family Guy Reloaded. If Peter Griffin wants to look as cool as Keanu did in the original, however, he might wanna hit the treadmill and get a new wardrobe.

Incredible Flip Book

Imagine the time it took to make this flip book! I really love the Matrix-style bullet-dodging at the end. Amazing.

VF Plots Blogs on the Spectrum - Opinionated or Earnest?

CitizenSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:00:24 -0700

In a stellar hybrid of New York magazine's Approval Matrix and the fascinating Political Compass, this week's fun tidbit from Vanity Fair shows the big blogs on a spectrum from news to opinion and scurrilous to earnest. Who doesn't want to see where Politico stacks up against Radar, and Michelle Malkin against FireDogLake?

With rollover pics popping up fairly pointed descriptions of the blogs, it does fairly point out that the Huffington Post is shamelessly pro-Obama and that Drudge has an unfailing reach with his Republican-friendly headlines and ugly step-sister graphics. Go check it out and see if you agree with their rankings! Should Arianna Huffington and Michelle Malkin be next-door neighbors? Where do you think CitizenSugar would fall on the spectrum?

Quiz Nation! Do You Know Your Secret Service Code Names?

CitizenSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:13:56 -0700

If you get their protection, the Secret Service will bestow you with a secret code name so they can talk about your whereabouts privately. The newest New York magazine's Approval Matrix featured Barack Obama's secret name and called it, "The most badass Secret Service code name ever. What's up now, Axis of Evil?" No peeking yet! Let's see if you can figure out which politician goes with which super-cool code name.

Come on, what could be cooler than a guy following you around whispering into his little wrist microphone, "Citizen is moving." Awesome.

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Freegracefrom

GiggleSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 15:00:00 -0800

I almost can't write this intro to FreeGraceFrom's spotlight because I'm too distracted by her ridiculously cute baby photo. No doubt that the baby in this pic turned into a cute, funny, and conscientious lady! If you'd like to find out more about FreeGraceFrom read more

GS: What's your motto?
FGR: "We must become the change we wish to see in the world." I stole that from Gandhi. I aspire to be more like him, but without the hunger strikes.

GS: Where are you from?
FGR: I live in this coastal town in south Florida. I'm in hell.

GS: What do you do?
FGR: At the moment, I'm wasting away in the insurance business. I'm an aspiring "professional do-gooder," but having a hard time finding someone to pay me for that at the moment.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
FGR: Always sarcastic, often silly, and sometimes a little naughty. (I get that last bit from my mother. She may look like a sweet, little old Asian lady, but she has one sick, dirty sense of humor!)

GS: What's your favorite GiggleSugar post?
FGR: I love the If You Had To . . . feature. Men play that game all the time - it's the ladies' turn! But I forward nearly all of Giggle's posts to family and friends. The Japanese game shows have the boyfriend and I longing for a trip to Japan, if only to spend an entire day just watching television.

GS: Who's the cutest funny man and funny woman?
FGR: Ryan Reynolds and Tina Fey.

GS: What's your favorite comedy of all time?
FGR: Tough one! I never get tired of Coming to America. but Friday and The Big Lebowski crack me up every time, too.

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
FGR: For female, I think Wanda Sykes. For male, I love Ron White and Dave Chappelle. But my favorite funny person is Christopher Walken! If he's hosting SNL, I'm watching!

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
FGR: Office Space. I daydream about taking my dot matrix printer out to an empty field and smashing it into little bits. My co-workers help the day pass by more quickly with many a WTF moment with comments like: "You know, people that have tattoos are always on lots of drugs." (She was serious!)

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
FGR: I can't decide if I look more like Jessica Alba, Audrey Hepburn, or Grace Kelly. Hmm. . . let me get back to you.

FreeGraceFrom Free-For-All: I'm a 20-something who, like all other 20-somethings, is just trying to find my place in the world. I've been engaged for about five years to a great guy who always makes me laugh. (For the record, still no date set. We'll get around to it!) I'm also mama to a loving beagle that I mercilessly force to wear silly Halloween costumes every year. I'm happiest when I'm exploring some new city/country or learning something new. Right now, I'm learning how to sew and looking into sailing lessons (finally!). I can be extremely opinionated and passionate about certain issues, so please forgive me for any heated rants elsewhere in the Sugar network. Remember, folks . . . jury duty is your civic duty.

A Razor Commercial Fit For Freud

GiggleSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:00:00 -0700

This Oedipus-inspired commercial for Wilkinson Sword Quattro Titanium Razors is a bit much, but I must admit, the "drama" that unfolds here is pretty compelling. C'mon, a bitter baby who busts out Matrix moves on his defensive daddy while vying for his mama's mojo? Sounds like a good, old-fashioned head case of a good time to me! (If you'd like to play the actual videogame, click here, skip the trailer, and click on "Download" to get to the game.)

Insane Break Dancer

GiggleSugar — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 07:00:42 -0700

It looks like this video has been treated by The Matrix special effects folks, but it's all just the mad skills of this gymnast/break dancer/levitation wizard. Talk about upper body strength. Jeez Louise!

Reese's Ring Sandals

DearSugar — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 11:57:01 -0700

Dear Sugar
You recently posted a pic of Reese Witherspoon shopping in LA. I am dying to know where I can buy her sandals.I think they are so lovely. Do you have any idea who makes them? Shoe-A-Holic

Dear Shoe-A-Holic
I agree, they look like a great sandal - cute and comfy! They are made by Bernardo and are called the "Matrix Ring Sandal."

You can buy them here at Bloomingdales.com. They sell for $98. Reese is such a smart celebrity shopper. Reason # 1,468 why I love her.
