Third in a series of my favorite YouTube snark, today we visit with the geniuses at “Real Actors Read”, aka “Gottakidtofeed”.
The basic premise is that real actors read things such as Yelp reviews, missed connections ads, Netflix reviews, and such. But, of course, they emote as only actors can. All of which makes for a few minutes of hilarity and stress release.

First!!!!!!!!!!
Woot, well done me!!!
Winner!!!
😎 Maybe it’s an omen for Ireland tonight??
I’ll keep my fingers crossed. As I believe I was Irish in a past life.
I’d guess you were too! All good so far, still 0-0. True, they haven’t kicked off yet, but still.
The most successful battle is the one not fought.
😆 Brilliant!
😆 😆 😆 Priceless!
Thank you LL, after this Ireland v Germany game I’ll need all the smiles I can get.
I figured that my last post was so fucking serious that I needed to put up some snark.
Congrats Chips on #1 🙂
Thanks Hopefruit, still waiting for my pic of Wayne Rooney from LL 🙄
Demanding! Fine, here:
No, no, no, no LL – that’s him in an England ad. Try again, United only please. 🙄
Oh sweet Buddha, FINE!
As an old buddy of mine used to say, “now we’re whistling”!!!! Look at that Adonis. Thank you LL!
I need to do this for my REEL!!!
Do it and I’ll feature you in a post!
I think someone was looking for this earlier….. 🙂
Nooooooooooooooo!!!! You are TOO cruel DF!!!
Sorry! 🙂
You’re just trying to give me sleepless nights, RIGHT????? 😆
Your dog will be an ANGEL!!!
TY! TY! TY!
Danny and I are going to have a ball, practising.
Seriously, I wonder if they had some kind of food on the other side calling to the dog? He just seems too determined to me.
.
.
Of course, Chips need not worry, because I doubt her baby would be able to find his way to the counter, or the window, in her kitchen.
😆 I saw that!!!!!
No, really, they must have had a lure on the other side of the window. 😉
Chips is first, riiiiiiiiiight, who do the judging around here, “Shoeless Joe Jackson?”
*Cough* Are you alleging something Mister Don?????? 😆
I kid, I kid.
Okay…… just be more careful with your allegations in future, right Don?
(LL? Thanks for the private heads-up).
Yes mam!
She can be ‘allowed this one Don as the ‘optics’ are not damaging – someone else posted (even if they were in collusion). We all know optics count in media.

It is time for the press briefing when Jay faces the jackals.
Update: Ireland have made it to five minutes without conceding a goal 😎
Match is being televised on ESPN2 if you live in the US. Here is a link to the live stream if you are at work http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index
p.s. I won’t mention the score……. if there a slight chance something may have happened?
Thank you LP! I won’t mention the score either ……… 😥
Very commendable reticence on your part, LPlains. I’m impressed with the mature way you sized up the situation, and with your resultant empathy for the senior BT. 😀
I know my place……. most refer to me as the court jester, with the guillotine of the WP “moderation” black hole always hanging over my head 🙂
‘WP moderation’ hangs over your head and ‘turtle’ image hangs over mine – explains why we mostly get along. 😉
Cute turtle! Squeeeeee!!
VC is exceptionally cute, LL!
Looks a bit ticked off with you-know-who (if you ask me). Was probably having a nap.
VC, I was looking at that turtle thinking the very same thing…that turtle looks angry!
I don’t know HOW you-know-who could have mistaken *it* pour (jovial little) moi!

Hello there GGail! Counting the hours to the end of the day, or simply relaxing into the afternoon?
PS almost half-time and Ireland are still (morally leading) 0-1.
“mostly get along” 🙂
I take back that ‘mostly get along’!!!!!!
The resemblance is uncanning!
That reminds me: Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President . The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.’ Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.’
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘You know, she didn’t get up there by herself, she doesn’t belong up there, she doesn’t know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.’
Hmm, this could actually describe boner or any of those less than responsible ‘leaders’ of the Grand soon-to-be-Obsolete Party.
Post Turtle! I like it! hahahaha!
Yes! Yes! Hell Yes!
Damn! how does that happen?
Wait! You can’t snatch him, we were fixin’ to snatch him!
They must have thought that they were dealing with Fredo.
11 minutes, Germany scored. Does anyone have a spare whiskey?
You’ll be Eric Idle tonight.
Oh shit!
Gohmert done ate the bones.
OMG Don you are cracking me up today 🙂 😆 🙂

Oh my goodness did you see the next one on the playlist — Claire’s birthday message for mommy!!!
Squeeing my laptop pretending it’s little Claire! Awwww, da cuteness!!!
She was a cutie! I loved it when she turned so serious and sad and said “I miss you”

So sorry for the duplicate Chips. I had not seen your post.
No worries at all!!!!
Sneaking in to say hi and drop some Shirley on you! 🙂
Happy Birthday J’OB!
Awww, thank you!
Hahaha! Boehner vs Boehner
Jay Carney should get a medal for going out there day after day
Yes he should! But I bet when he gets frustrated, someone reminds him that he is soooo much smarter than all of them. Then he goes out there and proves it!
Of course I’m sure as soon as Ted looked at it, his evil aura caused all those vibrant beautiful living things in that basket to wither away to brown dust and die.
As that McDonald’s jingle sings:
I’m Lovin it 😉
…nor did the president agree to quietly resign from office, leaving only a note saying, ‘gosh, you guys were right’.
Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla on why he’s gotten involved

“The effort to derail, defund and discredit the ACA (‘ObamaCare’) is ridiculous and insulting. The law serves to help all Americans more easily access affordable, reliable health insurance, even those who were previously shut out of private insurance because of a pre-existing condition. These objective basics of the law are rarely front-page news. Healthcare.gov does a great job of detailing out the most important features.”
“As for the Republican efforts to defeat this law, I’d like to recommend any of the time-tested, American-as-apple-pie methods of repealing a law,” Walla said. “There are many. Like, say, winning an election and repealing a law through legislation which can be enacted by the executive branch. I can also recommend the judicial branch as a place to sort through grievances and contests of law. Our three branches of government provide ample checks and balances, in a sound framework, for any party wishing to engage them.”
UGH Alert:
Chuck Todd is writing a book about President Obama to be released in April.
UGH.
Oh. God. Something like this?
If only he were that talented!
It will be in the bargain bin by May
Major ugh.
upChuck livin’ up to his name.
Makes me sick to even think about it.
He is so unqualified to write any book on any subject, but to write one on Barack Obama is an insult to all Americans.
This will actually be his 2nd Obama book. No one know which 10 cent bin the 1st one disappeared into.
John Karl, just asked Jay Carney, why “West Wing Week” is still being produced during the Government shutdown……….. I have run out of words to describe what I think of this tool……..
Jay should remove the toilet paper from the press bathroom .
Okay, back to work. Can you believe these people except me to work with that gorgeous day outside just calling me, taunting me…[“get off the compyewter… come out and play, girl!!!]? Huh, huh, who can concentrate? Not me!
Everyone enjoy the rest of your Friday afternoon! I’m putting my chains back on for another couple of hours. 😦
Will be back late night if I don’t fall unconscious from exhaustion and fun deprivation.
I am a fan of David Brinkley…..but if I hear him say this country has not done anything big since the moon landing I will scream.
What about the space station ?
What about the Mars landing ?
What about the ACA? 🙂
I did not know he was still living. Sounds like a bit of senility in his statement.
oops….I mean Douglas Brinkley……the historian
Oh, I see. 🙂 I am surprised that he would say something like that.
Yesterday on the CBS Evening News with Scott Paley(sp), the Cost Thus far is well over $15B that the shutdown has cost USA.
figures based on daily figure of 160 million(gov’t) and 67million(private/small business)

Do you guys think House GOPs gave any thought to actually also impact the unemployment numbers, or is this collateral damage?
//…………………..
In D.C. and Maryland alone, 24,000 furloughed workers have applied for unemployment benefits. Food banks across the country are seeing an uptick in clients. And it could get worse: If the shutdown were to go on until the end of October, states would likely have to cut aid to the poor, including food stamps.
“I’m very frustrated with the government, I think that it’s unfair, it’s interrupting people’s livelihoods,” Carroll says. “I don’t understand how human beings can have so much power, it amazes me.”
When the government shutdown ends, and Carroll gets back to work, she says she plans to donate back to Nourish Now.

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2013/10/11/furloughed-families-look-for-food-assistance-during-shutdown/
No, I don’t think the GOP thought about the impact because they didn’t think the President would call their bluff nor that the Democrats would remain united.
So instead, they are trying to spin a storyline that the impact is not significant. Of course, that’s hard to do when people are living the impact of this shutdown.
Well, I cannot think of one thing the Repubs have planned PROPERLY since I’ve started paying attention to politics. It seriously boggles the mind that they have so many people who actually think they are worth voting for. Simply listening to them speak on, or to, an issue is grating .
Why is it hard to understand that budget negotiations will begin once the government has been re-opened AND the threat of default (which means for more than 6 weeks)? The usual suspects in the WHPC are trying so hard to get Jay to say that the talks taking place amount to “negotiations” so that they can say that the President has caved.
The GOP doesn’t want budget negotiations – they’ve knocked them back for 6 months. They have no idea what they want – other than to hurt President Obama – strange how some plans backfire.
How many more fake plans is Boehner going to present and get whacked down? What about “NOOO until a clean resolution” does he not get? However, from what I read, I’m wondering if Boehner has any clout left in his own caucus.
love me some sam wang!!
‘ Andrew Sullivan has collected some commentary that argues against my suggestion that the House could potentially flip in 2014. There were some good points made. However, it should be noted that some of these analysts’ comments have been OBE (Overtaken By Events) – the shutdown.
~
All of the arguments on this subject can and should be quantified. It’s just like last year’s Presidential race: is any of this punditry data-based? Today I start to outline a true prediction.
~
Provisionally, it looks like the following: In a little over a week, the shutdown has increased the probability of a Democratic House takeover in 2014 from 13% to as high as 50%. ‘
http://election.princeton.edu/2013/10/10/a-prediction-for-2014-house-elections-take-1/
Nothing like numbers to wipe out pundits predictions and if someone is arguing against Sullivan – we are best friends forever.

A poll released Thursday brought historically bad numbers for Republicans, but it also marked the return of a conservative faction largely unseen since the 2012 campaign.
The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found an all-time low approval rating for the GOP, but some on the right have sought to “unskew” the numbers.

I read page 1 and stopped because I’m not really interested in Gov. Christie, but others might be……
The Quashing of a Case Against a Christie Ally
//….
When the charges became public, the indicted undersheriff, Michael Russo, shrugged it off. Governor Christie, he assured an aide, would “have this whole thing thrown out,” according to The Hunterdon County Democrat. That sounded like bluster. Then the state killed the case.
On the day the indictment was unsealed, the state attorney general, a Christie appointee, took over the Hunterdon prosecutor’s office. Within a few months, three of its most respected veterans lost their jobs there, including the one who led the case.
