AlabasterSpoon: ur blog is still talking about the VMA that was so last summer
xPinkBishie: I know, a lot has happened, the move, the trip to Boston
xPinkBishie: My crappy experience at the security checkpoint at the airport
xPinkBishie: but two things, I haven’t had any inspiration to write and I hate blogging at work, so I wait till I get home but I don’t have my laptop yet
AlabasterSpoon: yeh you don’t tell me any of the good stuff anymore
xPinkBishie: Heh
AlabasterSpoon: did u get strip searched?
xPinkBishie: no
xPinkBishie: This woman felt the need to embarass me in front of the rest of the line
xPinkBishie: I was more surprised by her attempt to embarass me than anything else
xPinkBishie: Apparently you have to expose ALL liquids that you have in your carry on
AlabasterSpoon: or did they just feel you up?
xPinkBishie: I took out my toothpaste and deodrant
xPinkBishie: I had to step aside and she loudly announced, “PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH YOUR BAG WHILE I SEARCH IT”
AlabasterSpoon: and what did you forget?
xPinkBishie: I forgot to take out a small, travel size bottle of saline solution for my contacts
xPinkBishie: She pulls out the small travel box that I had it in (I completely forgot about it) and then proceeds to show it to her coworkers to scoff at my stupidity for not listening to directions
xPinkBishie: Then she said, “SO YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE THAT CRAZY, YELLING MAN WE HAD HERE EARLIER. BE SURE TO SHOW US ALL YOUR LIQUIDS”
xPinkBishie: Then she threw out my toothpaste and my deodorant
AlabasterSpoon: the bitch!
AlabasterSpoon: were they to big?
xPinkBishie: Yeah, because when I take over airplanes I plan to disorientate everyone with a cloud of powdery fresh $1.99 Suave deodarant

The next time I’m subjected to such freakishly, ridiculous displays of homeland security I’ll be sure to empty my bladder in a cup and hand it over. I mean, if we’re going to be really serious about exposing all liquids.

I, like most of us, am sick to death of the MTV Video Music Awards even though I can’t remember the last time I actually sat down and made an effort to watch it from beginning to end. The show isn’t so much the horrible car wreck we couldn’t take our eyes off than it is an annoying fender bender that unnecessarily holds up traffic. You strain to catch a glimpse of gore and limbs, anything good, but it ultimately ends in disappointment. As one ONTDer pointed out, MTV has a lot of nerve to host a Video Music Awards when 90% of their broadcast are consumed with reruns of The Hills.

The only way I managed to catch Britney Spears’ much talked about performance (and, really, can we even call it a performance?) was by catching a clip of it on Youtube. What can be said about Ms. Spears’s interpretive dance at the VMA’s that hasn’t been said before. Ditto, internet, ditto.
