High-Five Fridays is on a hiatus, but I'm going to use this time to participate in the memes I've been tagged for (and so far neglected). If you hate how I'm doing these, all lumped together in one post, then please don't tag me anymore. *wink* (It's flattering, really; but when inundated my already "far behind" life lags even worse.)
Four score & seven years ago, Thom of Planet Fabulon gave me/us the E for Excellence award. I now bequest (with hopes they take action faster than I!) the award to the following (who I believe have not already received it &/or will pass it along):
In five syllables, no more, no less, describe the worst movie you can think of. In seven syllables, no more, no less, describe your worst date. In five syllables, no more, no less, describe the worst job you ever had.
Here's my go at it:
Body count, no Bruce. Wet thumb, knocked up. Teen boy sneaker help.
Here's who I torture with an official tag (anyone else is free to play):
Last, but not least, Crazy Crafty Cat Chick (who should post more often so I can add her to the sidebar) tagged us, so I'll post this; but taking my cue from Silent Porn Star, I won't tag anyone. If you want to participate, you just copy & paste the list into your blog, adding your blog to the list, and publish. (And tag, if you so dare).
1)In today's ear worm news... Got La Cucaracha stuck in your head? Finding out what the song means may not be key to getting rid of it, but you should understand what you are humming. (And if it's not stuck in your head, it will now! You're welcome.)
#1 Among other things: I primarily collect Batman stuff and action figures of all kinds. Secondary (but still scary) collections include vinyl records, art, robots, squid, DVDs and videos, trade paperback comics, Legos, gaming miniatures, trading cards, all kinds of books, scrap pieces of plastic, wood, metal and beyond, instruments. I’m actually slimming down a bit due to space concerns. And when I say ‘concerns’, I mean ‘am I going to be crushed in the night?’
Want to give high-fives too? Participation is a lot like Thursday Thirteen, only your post is links to who and what you like. (Plus, it's only 5 instead of 13!)
The purpose of this meme is to give high-fives to 5 people, posts, blogs and/or websites you've admired during the week. I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 5 high-fives on Friday. Trackbacks, pings, linky widgets, comment links accepted!

1)Hitler and the Seven Dwarfs likely needs some sort of an introduction (if you haven't heard about it yet), but I like to make you curious enough to click.

5) Lastly, a high-five to Neatorama for listening to Rian (again) and posting about KKC.

1) A high-five to Mute Mondays, because I'd forgotten how fun they can be.
2)Humor-Blogs has funnier people and posts than we do. Or so I am told. (What do I care about 'funny' when I can be 'snarky' and 'interesting, even, occasionally, 'clever' and 'witty'.)
3)Brocante gets a general high-five for general goodness.
The next two each get a general high-five for, um, general badness -- but in the most delicious of ways!
4)Stinky Lulu, for the mocking of and marveling at movie madness, including a special focus on supporting actresses. Via Silent Porn Star * (The *, I remind you, is for 'possible nudity' -- which with 'porn' in the name, you should already know; but there, I've warned you.)
5)No Smoking in the Skull Cave has appeared at KKC before, but it's chock full of vintage pop culture vitamins -- which surprisingly, get more potent with age -- and worthy of another celebratory slap.

4) Scott McLemee's Quick Study, a blog on books, ideas and trash-culture ephemera. (Gotta wonder why he's not been here before -- perhaps because he considers himself a 'feuilletonist' rather than a blogger.)
5) Spare Mindy's Easy-Make Oven is super cute -- and clever!

2) I mock a lot of crafts here, but as you've likely expected I am also charmed by many too -- I must be at some level to save all the stuff I do. *wink* For those who admit their problem hobby, check out Vintage Craft Patterns for free old instructions.
3) Somewhat related is Make. It's not always 'old' but it's of the same DIY spirit that you see in Popular Mechanics, Work Basket etc.
4) High-fives in general to coisas do arco da velha "bizarre - burlesque - freaks - circus - kitsch - pulp - mexico". Don't worry, it's in English -- but even ifin t'weren't, you'd enjoy the images & understand it all the same. (Like you understand what I say here half the time anyway.)

2)Row of potatoes, which amused me greatly when we found it -- still does after hubby posted it. *wink*
3)History Is Elementary is a blog by -- what else? -- an elementary history teacher. It's not kitschy, but it is is super cool. Grab a beverage and sit down to dig in at the site. (No fork needed for this tasty buffet.) It's so great that I'm adding it to the sidebar too.
4) A gleeful high-five to C. Monks at Utter Wonder as he worries about the effects of nerds at his blog. (As noted in the comments, he says 'nerds' while they say 'geeks' -- tomato/tomatoe as far as Monks' concerns go.) So why am I high-fiving him? Well, he writes a pretty clever post -- and the first part of dealing with his problem is to admit he has a problem. But of course the real reason I'm high-fiving the Monks is (drum roll) because I want to send more geeks and nerds his way. Fly my little minions, fly!

1) Are you obsessed with those 80's malls? Sure you are, Valley Girl; so head on over to Big Mall Rat. (Psst, boys, I'll be at the fountain at 3, after I ditch my mom.)
2) A review of 1968's The King, fiction which reportedly angered Sinatra but delighted Silent Porn Star * (Yup, the asterisk means the site may have/has adult content. But shouldn't the name tell you that?)
4) Apparently Elizabeth at Ridiculon has been linking to here since 1972 and I just noticed. High-five for her; slap on the fanny for me.
5) A high-five for myself for finallyranting & spewing my hatred for James Woods -- too bad it took Sean Young's drinking to force my writing hand. (Link is safe, but the site itself, Sex-Kitten.Net, is NWS.)

1) Rian Fike of Full Body Transplant says that I am "the Snark MASTER!" Likely this post disappoints in that regard, but there's always another post to be made...

Participating in High-Five Fridays gives me a chance to set aside the snark, the sassy mocking, and be nice -- by directing you to others who may, or may not, be equally filled with snark, sass, and mocking.
#1Susan Helene Gottfried was so kind with her comments on my T13 at CQ that I'm gonna high-five her for that. (And my apologies for scaring her cat.)
#2 Dump Diggers is serious about dump digging: Part One, Part Two.
#3There's Your Boyfriend is the blog that plays the game we girls all used to. The scary thing is that these are real people, and are likely someone's boyfriend or spouse. :shudder:
#4 If you miss the humor here, check out Humor-Blogs.
#5 If you miss the kitschy thrift store finds we usually have here (and will continue to post, really!), get your fix at Thrift Store Love.
