Do your toe nails look like fingernails?

I was in the elevator this morning and I was staring at the floor to avoid making eye contact with the annoying cheerful people who like to say hello to every man, women and ficus tree that they may pass on the way to their office. While staring at the floor, I tend to examine people's feet. Sometimes I admire a cute pair of shoes other times it is merely to see that most men do not know that black socks do not go with brown shoes. But today was no usual day...no. Today I see a woman wearing sandals who had some of the longest toe nails I has ever seen. she had a french pedicure with the white tip extending way past the end of her toe.

What the hell is up with this. Hello all people everywhere. Toe nails are meant to be short. Pretty soon I expect to see women with lee press-on nails glued to their tootsies. You know maybe with hot pink polish and some glue on crystals, or maybe a classy airbrush pattern. And if I ever do see this I will laugh loudly while pointing at the offending toe, also making choice remarks about the persons obviously unsophisticated upbringing.
Toe offenders - consider yourself warned!

I mean really! This has now topped "pantyhose with open toed shoes" as my number one foot related pet peeve.

Side note:
Oh and has anyone seen the new Heidi from the Hills music video? She is dressed like Jane Fonda in a 1980's aerobic video complete with leotard and sweatbands and other weird badly dressed sweaty people in the background. It makes me long for the days of her screeching on a beach showing off her wing span.

PS. I am typing this on a braille keypad because I gouged my own eyes out.

The Express

Super Happy Fun Times ultimate dream: To be featured in the "Blog Log" in the Washington Post Express paper.

As an avid express reader and lover of random shit, it would be my greatest achievement to be featured in in the Blog log column. Unfortunately, they seem to favor posting blogs that feature quasi-relevant or recent events, which you will have discovered by now, is not super happy fun time.

Rather than pander to the news grubbing elite, I will just continue to spew random shit and mentioning my dream of being in the Express in hopes that an editor will someday stumble across Super Happy Fun Time and see how perfect this blog would be for their paper.

As a back up plan I will include a few key Boolean search terms for current events:

McCain, Sex Kidnapper Puppy Cloner, Obama AND Paris Hilton, Naked Germans AND Poland, Grey Poupon.

Ninjas - Part 2

When I think of Spring time, I think of Ninjas

And alas, since it is no longer Spring-time, I am officially unable to continue to post of the topic of Ninjas. I know dear readers, the grief is just too much to handle, but be strong. I know you can get through this trying time. The Ninja lovers support group will be help every weekday night at Gina's apartment at 8pm. We will watch "Ninja of the Night" every sessions as well as visit "Ask a Ninja" for guidance on how to conduct our lives until Spring comes once again.

If you are feeling weak between the support groups, please utilize the ninja related links listed under Other Super Happy Fun Things.

Live Strong!
