I was just a wingman, really having no purpose other than to keep Tyler company which I was quite happy to do. We met up as soon as Tyler got home from work and headed out.<br />Tyler's goal was to buy some paint that was going off sale this Friday. We painted his kitchen and parts of his living room last summer, but he was looking to redo the living room. Anyway, anyway, anyway...we get to Crappy Tire and head to the paint department. While waiting for the CT employee at the counter to finish with a sweet old lady, who was the spitting image of the old lady trying to get insurance in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredibles">The Incredibles</a>, this skankalicious woman with a South African accent comes up and says hi to us. Tyler, of course, begins a dialogue with her as I sink further and further into any other aisle within fleeing distance. Before I disappeared altogether though, I heard her actually say (brace yourself)...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"I'm a woman - what do <span style="font-style: italic;">I</span> know about painting??"<br /></div><br />I was milliseconds away from retorting...<br /><br />"You complete and utter inability to put pigment on a flat surface has very little to do with your dried up, prune-like, aged va-jay-jay," but I managed to resist.<br /><br />This is a pretty broad (no pun intended), wide-ranging tip:<br /><br />Tips for Retards #42<br /><blockquote>"Whether you're a woman, a man or anything in between...don't be a FUCKING DOUCHEBAG.

Today, during one of the many entertaining conversational sections of the show, Howard commented on a cupcake that sidekick Artie Lange was eating - the thing had about 1500 calories jammed into it and Artie eats them like they're going out of style. Anyway, anyway, anyway...in the midst of the conversation they played one of the many song parodies that people from all over the world send in...and this one made me squeal with glee (coz I love the original song) and then nearly pee my pants at the cleverness of the rejigged lyrics. By the time the second chorus came up, the entire studio was singing along...
