David Hasselhoff Goes To My Gym And I Am Not A Liar This Is Just The Sort Of Celebrity Lifestyle I Lead

By


David Hasselhoff spotting.  At my gym.  In my town.

You:  But why, Anouchka, would The Hoff be vacationing in your generic, Midwestern town in February?
Me:  Well, apparently it's beautiful this time of year!  (Seriously.  It is in the 50s today.  Unheard of.)
You:  OK, OK.  But how do you know that it wasn't just some muscly old guy with a corny David Cassidy grin and a pair of outdated sunglasses?
Me:  Ever heard of a little something called intuition?  Well I have.  Plus, he was carrying a life saving floatation device and sun tan lotion.  And his hair was impeccably mussed.
You:  I call bullshit.
Me:  Would I lie to you?
You:  Yes.
Me:  OK, maybe I would and maybe I am, but I know what I saw and this is it:

What the hell?  How was this ever "a thing"?

OK fine.  Since I am allegedly a liar (prove it), here is how I will make it up to you:  I am conducting some scientific (a.k.a. IMDB & Wikipedia) research on my computer at work to present you with a few Hasselhoff factoids, for your reading enjoyment.  I know I will catch hell for this from the IT department at work (where they can monitor my internet activity and see that I am conducting searches for David Hasselhoff), but this is how much I love you.  You're welcome.
  • Once explained on a talk show about being attacked by a male kangaroo at a wildlife preserve.
  • Was considered for the role for Boba Fett in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
  • In Germany, he shares his dubbing voice with Kermit the Frog.
  • Helped to rescue a car crash victim. [March 1995]
  • Saved a drowning child. [August 1995]
  • On August 2, 2006, Hasselhoff proclaimed himself "King of the Internet" in a tongue-in-cheek advertisement commercial for Pipex.
  • Hasselhoff has launched a MySpace-like social networking site, known as "HoffSpace."  (This makes it infinitely less funny, but:  He did so in part as a response to people opening false social-networking pages in his name, as well as those of his children.)

Mitt Romney: Problem Solver By A Fool's Standards

By
I know I bash politics a lot because, I'll just come right out and say it, I think they're silly.  My indifference to most things allows me the leisurely amusement of getting a rise out of people who are particularly hot on any given subject.  However, like most individuals who actually do give a shit, I also have a set of criteria on what I look for in a candidate and -republican or democrat- I will vote for whomever I feel best meets that criteria. But today, I find myself at a loss for words. http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/02/15/146929766/why-romneys-shaggy-dog-story-wont-die While I haven't exactly been a Romney fan up until this point, I am somewhat sympathetic to those under constant scrutiny.  I suppose he has faced his fair share.  But we do make our own beds, do we not?  This is positively inexcusable.  I would sooner vote for a chimp in a scuba suit than this imbecile.  Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to...

Let's be frank...

By
Habibi and I are not at all fanciful.  In fact, every time I try to do something cute (and/or Pinterest-y), I end up frustrated and with egg on my face.  So, we've just decided to embrace our straightforward, blunt way of doing things.  To give you an idea of how we roll, let me tell you a little bit about our life journey together... On our second date, I told Habibi that I really wasn't interested in ever getting married.  Sure I like liked  him ("like liking" would soon change to love), but it just wasn't something I planned for my future.  Seven months later when he proposed (see how that went for me?), I simply said yes.  There was no video, no fireworks, no wild story, no pictures.  He told me to close my eyes (I insisted on sitting on the floor if I had to close my eyes because I was afraid he'd push me on the ground) and when I opened them, there he was, on one knee, holding a ring.  Afterwards, we kissed and he told me I had co...

Anouchka's Beauty Tips

By
When asked to share her beauty secrets, Audrey Hepburn responded with the following: For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. Many of us can picture Audrey Hepburn saying these wonderful things, given her affinity for the simple life and showing charity.  However, the true author of this excerpt is often debated.  Regardless, it's a nice thought and I find it somewhat inspirational.  It's true, I am not the embodiment of beauty, grace and class like Audrey was.  In fact, a better description for me might be goofy-looking-socially-awkward-verbally-inarticulate-obsessive-compulsive-domineering-halfwoman.  Nevertheless, d...
