Festivus may be past, but I have a bone to pick anyway. For some reason the godfather of MOL Nation has removed both myself and my dashing future husband from his list of blog links. I am assuming this is just an oversight and will be correctly forthwith. C’mon, Mitchell…I thought we were friends!

…that MOL Junior’s pathetic attempt to make me mad today was really quite sad. I think he’s trying too hard…in the past he was much more subtle in actually baiting me, or he did it by accident but reaped the benefits of the button-pushing anyway.
Better luck next time!

Shawn gave it an A as a Ronnie-centric mix. I think Ronnie liked most of it except for the Neutral Milk Hotel track. The jury is still out on whether or not he started destroying things the second he actually listened to Radiohead.

MOL Junior asked me:
please explain your tom cruise obsession. is this a tom cruise blog
or what?
My response:
Fauss–I shouldn’t have to explain anything to you, considering your blog could be the “random TV haiku” blog or the “Ryan Adams makes me wet my pants!” blog. Plus, you don’t like Radiohead. BUT since I consider you to be a very good friend, I will explain.
I have been on the “Tom Cruise is crazy” bandwagon since shortly before his break with Nicole Kidman. I always liked him–he seemed really down to earth, had some great movie roles, seemed to really love his wife, was cute, etc. Then he started exhibiting weird Hollywood diva behavior, divorced Nicole, got involved with Penelope Horseface No Mayo on Her Sandwiches Cruz, and it all snowballed from there. Plus, he started setting off my Gaydar big time…thus the “beard” jokes.
The Scientology thing has a lot to do with the weirdness, I’d reckon, but I can’t be sure…however his involvement in Scientology seems to be directly in correlation to his weirdness levels rising. Just sayin’.
So now everyone’s like, “OMG Tom! He’s so weird! and maybe GAY! but look how crazy he is!!!” and I feel justified.

Paper Graffiti would like to welcome Eric Benanti to the MOL Nation and the blogosphere at large. We needed someone else with great hair around here.
I don’t know a single person who has the ability to go toe-to-toe with just about anyone on random pop culture references, or who we actually thought might drop an f-bomb in a church “talk.” Whatever whatever, he does what he wants. He doesn’t go to school and he listens to Michael W. Smith. And his hair is better than yours.

MOL Junior is trying (fruitlessly, I might add) to convince me that 50 Cent is pop genius. Keep trying, MOL Junior, and that effort plus a dollar might get you a cup of coffee at your local 7-11. He has finally taken some advice and purchased the genius Loretta Lynn CD Van Lear Rose, which he admitted to me was “fantastic, after [he'd] been cynical so long about it.” Here’s another piece of advice: I don’t like 50 Cent.
We convened at Casa MOL last night for the Superbowl festivities, even though el MOL is in California pimping his duck calls. What occured was not so much just football watching, but also arguments, smackdowns, and conversations regarding music, movies, and The Boyfriend’s eternal hatred of the Philadelphia Eagles and Terrell Owens.
Fight The Man on Monday with these boredom stopping links!
Radio Paradise, one of my favorite Internet radio stations

Go Fug Yourself, more laughing and pointing at the poor judgment of celebrity stylists.
MOL Junior, the original coattail rider of DFW blogs everywhere
Potential Lunch Winner, he’s new to blogging, but not new to snarky commentary on everything in his path. And I love him.
