"Pimping" in thier "tuxedos", "Brangelina" and "Vincifer" did the "Brokeback", bringing on the onset of "Petroia".

With gems like this article, I can see why my submissions for the gang rape at Disney and the stolen Girl Scout cookie money didn't get approved.

Compelling stuff here.

Irrational fear?

Oh wait, that's a more limited resource, dang.

In second place was "Brangelina," the hybrid name given to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as Hollywood's hottest new couple. They beat out "TomKat," bestowed on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and "Vincifer," a hardly used term referring to Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.

What happened to "Filliam H. Muffman"?

ethan_thamonah: What happened to "Filliam H. Muffman"?

In my opinion, that episode where he did the Filliam H Muffman bit has been the, if not one of the, funniest ones to date. It was especially funny to watch Colbert unable to keep a straight and then lose it completely face as he read it.

Oh how i hate "bling" I hate hate hate that it is used in children's toys. I have heard that word coming out of my six year old's mouth, though I don't think she really understands it. I could be wrong. *shudder*

Petroia isn't so irrational if it brings oil in closer proximity to the anus.

Uhh, actually according to the article it's petronoia, which makes a lot more sense than 'petroia.'

I can't tell if that's a Thinmint or a Tagalong.

If it's a Tagalong, then you're a winner.

If it's a Thinmint, the owls will eat you in your sleep tonight.
