Oh, Chipmunks. I could be coy, but it’s Friday. And my RIDICULOUS mug is on the homepage of WordPress thanks to a series of unsettling fortune cookies.

As my idol, Ross Mathews, would say: It’s a good day.
There are a few things kicking around that I really want to share with you, and try as I might, I can’t find a common theme (other than awesomesauciness), so here they are in all their random glory:

1.) My pal, madtante (over at opinions expressed may not be correct), made two absolutely hilarious videos: This one featuring her TALKING DOG wearing a GoGuiltyPleasures slap bracelet, and this one singing “Hey Jude” for me. How cool is she?!
2.) Paul Johnson over at The Good Greatsby has

finally recognized my caption writing prowess. If you’re so inclined, please vote for your, ah hem, favorite caption (ends April 15th).
3.) I have some really phat fly dope excellent posts coming to you very soon. I want to tell you more, but where’s the my fun in that? Let’s just say a guest post and a giveaway are involved. You don’t want to miss it.
4.) Thanks for being so nice and attractive. I really do love you.
What’s making you smile today? If you haven’t found anything, perhaps Henri, the existential cat, can help you come to terms with that:
I love you too. You give meaning to my life. First you are Feshly Pressed. Then you are a well-deserved finalist in GG’s caption contest. Your legend keeps growing.
I FEEL loved. Hey! I just remembered the guinea pig’s name is Reeses. I should have included him in my last post! Dangnabbit. The number of things I’ve thought of to include in that post since Wed morning, grumble grumble…!
Man. Between your’s and Thoughtsy’s week, I’m starting to get an inferiority complex! 🙂 Congrats for the Freshly Pressed. Well deserved!
I voted for you. Because I love you.
And I’m still waiting for your address. I promise not to stalk you. Well, maybe just a little. Seriously, though, cough it up, yo!
With the pictures you are able to take, you should NEVER feel inferior! And thank you so much! Especially for the vote. LOL
Did I ever send you slap bracelets?? If not, we should do an address swap!
No you haven’t!! But it’s YOUR birthday . . . you shouldn’t be sending ME presents, silly. 🙂 Email me your address and I’ll send you mine as well, deal? mistyslaws at gmail dot com
Congrats on Freshly Pressed!
Thank you so much, Nancy! I am currently trying to calculate how many bottles of champagne this entitles me to.
I’m so happy you got squished flat on misfortune cookies! That rocked! You weren’t kidding about me missing the good stuff while I was away!
Thank you so much, Renee! It’s such a thrill to see my WordPress stats graph giving me the big middle finger, LOL!
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed! =) You deserve it, Chipmunk!
Thank you so much, Thoughtsy!! I wonder if I will start getting fan posts now… 😉
I have no idea what ‘freshly pressed’ means, but it can’t mean you’ve been attacked in a launderette as people are congratulating you. I do however find you’re blog to be an exquisite ‘double espresso’ with extra brown sugar and two Biscotti of a read.
haha Richard, this cracked me up. If I were edible, I would so gladly be espresso with sugary biscotti. What a great compliment – thank you!
Voted for you. Your entry is WAY ahead in the caption contest, whereas mine didn’t even make the cut. Looks like I’M going to be eating my feelings for dinner again tonight.
Hey, Henri is my cat, Beeby! That’s where she’s been disappearing to.
Congrats again on the FP – you rule the stool!
Peg, you taught me everything I know about captions for GG’s contest. If I win, it will be a victory for both of us.
Beeby has gone viral! There is actually a part 2 to that video that might be even funnier.
Thank you SO much – the FP gods turned that misfortune into quite a fortune!
What’s making me smile today? The thought of tonight’s wrap party! MWA! I just need to decide whether I’m going with my half-inch of head stubble or in my kelly green wig. 😉
That is surely making me smile, too, Deb!! I can’t WAIT to hear all about it, including about the winning wig! 🙂
Italian neoRealist cinema…I feel so….Vittorio DeSica now…
Does this mean Cooper and Henri are teaming up for a Part Trois (there’s already a part deux)?
Yes! The working title is Henri Does The Vatican….
Hey, Jules, I’m taking a time out from my seething jealousy of your recent FP-dom to visit and let you know you’re a finalist in this week’s Question of the Week. It appears this may rank around 40th on the honors you’re racking up the last couple days, but there you have it! Commence self-promotion and slander of others!
Oh, who am I kidding. I can’t stay seething with jealousy at you…
Byronic Man! I just saw that! That is awesome. I really want to win this one.
Does it make you feel better to know you have soooo many more followers than me, AND you’re a WordPress ‘featured humor blogger,’ which is basically like being Freshly Pressed every day? Oh and did you see #4 on this list? Totally true. But you knew that because we’re BFFs. I hope your wife doesn’t mind. Peppermeister is distracted by pepper-planting season. (He is actually at a pepper farm right now. With another dude.)
Okay, that makes me feel a little better… Especially #4…
Really, though, congratulations on the FP. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving BFF.
If I rigged my next giveaway so you win, do you think anyone would notice?
I love this blog!!! You are hilarious, keep up the good work! 🙂
I love this comment!!! LOL Thank you SO much, and thank you for the follow! That makes my day!
You’re welcome! I have also added your blog to my roll….rollin’, rollin’, rollin’…
Jules, I am just thrilled at the week you’re having! To be FP’d…and to stay FP’d ALL weekend long? You kick serious ass. Plus, that cat video killed me. And your caption in GG’s contest. You are on fire! (or as we say here in Maine, FI-YAH!) Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.
Thank you so much, Darla! I know – I seriously hit the FP’d jackpot (guess those cookies weren’t so misfortunate after all! 😉
OMGOMGOMG!
Here I am, freshly-returned from hols and I’m fa-MOOS as les Français disent! (I didn’t go to France, having worked there years ago).
Welcome home! And WHEW! I was hoping you wouldn’t mind the linkage without my asking first! 🙂
Public blog, all’s fair in link bait 🙂 Thanks again, you’re a good chipmunk (not like those bastards in your house).
