Denny Carroll Can’t Even Handle This Right Now

When I was in preschool we used to have Cheese Nips for snack time and I used to cry because I came from a Cheez-It only household and they just aren’t the same, no matter what Mrs. Gilles tries to tell you. They’re just not.

Here to prove it, secondratesnacks.com is currently holding a vote as to which is the better cheese-flavored delight: the obviously way more awesome Cheez-It or the sad and lonely Cheese Nip. Clearly, I’m partial, as there are actually people in the world who would rather (gross) eat a Nip.

“I mentioned I was going to compare these to the intern at work (way back earlier this month when I had a job),” writes whoever it is that runs Second Rate Snacks, “and she felt very strongly about Cheese Nips and how disgusting Cheez-Its were, almost like she thought people who favored Cheez-Its also ate dog food.” Well, I don’t like this intern one bit (also, can we talk about the abundance of bloggers who say they used to have a job? This does not bode well for me).

Vote here, and vote well. If you don’t make the right choice, Denny will make you sit on the couch for 15 whole minutes. And you know what that right choice is.

Elin Nordegren Reaches “You Go Girl” Status

The former Mrs. Tiger Woods is showing American women what it means to stand up for themselves.

After years of watching Vanessa Bryant, Silda Spitzer, Dina McGreevy (no, your husband’s gay, he does not want to be married to you) and our own Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stand by their men while they cheated, lied and messed with the sanctity of marriage, I’m so freakin’ happy that there’s still women out there who will not stay in a broken relationship, no matter how much money, fame, political prestige or huge-ass diamond rings are in it for them.

Thank you Elin for taking your kids and getting the hell out of town. While it’s somewhat easier for you to walk away (at least financially) than it may be for some women, you’re setting an example that needs to be followed.

P.S. I think you should admit that you hit Tiger with a golf club (even if you didn’t do it). It can only put you on a higher pedestal at this point.

The MTV Video Music Awards – 10 Years Ago

For the past few weeks, MTV has been playing videos in the morning (I know, videos!) featuring past VMA winners, in anticipation of the 2010 Video Music Awards, which will be held Sept. 12.

I couldn’t really tell you what’s been going on with the VMAs in the past few years, except the disastrous Britney performance in ’07, but I do know that watching these videos in the a.m. is bringing back a lot of memories.

Here are two of my favorite VMA performances, both from 2000. Watching these brings me right back to my living room, perfecting all the moves so that I could showcase them at school dances. I know, I’m a loser, but you know what? People requested me to do these dances. The chant was something like, “Go White Girl!” I could have been on Glee!
