welcome to elaney!

“The other day my co-workers were joking about banishing the 1% to an island.  I was like, uh, can I go there to find a husband?”  - Reader Melby

Another great video playing off our fav, “‘Stuff’” Girls Say”  (Also check out the twitter feed!).  Some favs:  ”Yay buffering!,”  ”Can I burn a copy of your Nickelback CD?,” and “I’m hoping he asks me to help him move.”

Reader Melby: “You are the Brett Farve of the blogosphere.”

Reader JLAL:  ”Wait, so elaney is back?!”
elaney:  ”um, kinda testing the waters.”
Reader JLAL:  ”Sort of a slow start?”
elaney:  ”More like a celebrity trying to make a comeback after a stint in rehab.”

elaney’s annual 12 Days of Christmas starts Thursday, so while everyone is running around gathering the best of the best for Christmas 2010, we have a few random things to throw at you.

One:  The most annoying thing ever said:  ”I just don’t really like bread.”
Two:  TI just released his latest album.  From jail.  Does that strike anyone else as off?
Three:   Chelsea Hander hates Angelina Jolie.  We knew Chelsea was our girl.  Team Anniston 4-eva.
Four:  Okay, not proud of this, but we can’t get enough of this song…

Things that we said yesterday that caused us to second guess ourselves:

• “I haven’t been this stressed out since being junior class president and planning the prom.”
• “I’m starting to relate to Peggy Olsen” (Mad Men character).
• “It just hurts my feelings when I have to call my mom at least 5 times to get her to answer.”
• “I feel like you don’t understand me,” (to Reader Ace when she said she doesn’t really like Lady Gaga).
• “I had too much red wine last night and made a profile for match.com…again.”

AOL Music (sidebar: do you judge people that use aol for email?  We do) released a list of the 100 worst songs of all time.  And we don’t know what is UP with AOL users…these songs are like the 100 best songs!  Check out the whole list here. Some of our favs:

95: “Mambo #5″  (Dear BHS c/o ’01, This Will Forever Make Us Think of You and Homecoming Week.  Love, elaney)
88:  ”Thong Song” Sisqo
79:  ”My Humps” BEP (“elaney, sometimes when I’m driving back from ATL, I listen to that song.  You know, about the humps.  My humps my humps.” -emum)
73:  ”Tootsee Roll” 69 Boyz (Dear Reader Frances and Reader Isa, PLEASE tell us you remember buying the single at Turtles and spending the rest of the afternoon doing a Tootsee Roll / Bankhead Bounce combo)
61:  ”Walk the Dinosaur” Was Not Was (Boom, Boom, Alacka lacka boom)
55: “Wasn’t Me” Shaggy
42: “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” Billy Joel (WHAT?? This is a classic!)
41: “Blue, Ba Da Be” Eiffel 65 (Um, only just now did we realize that this does not say “I’m blue, if I was green I would die…”)
39: “Physical” Olivia Newton John (Um, so good.)
17: “MMMBop” Hanson (Have definitely listened to this on repeat.  All day.  Today.)
16:  ”Hollaback Girl” Gwen Stefani (Favorite song to spin to!!  That and Maneater.  No lie.)
03: “Ice, Ice, Baby” Vanilla (Um, no way.  Everyone knows all the words to this.  And we at elaney will be happy to rap them for you!)

What songs that the world loves to hate do you hate to love?!?

Wow.  Is this what we sound like?  The best part is when the guy gets offended that his friend has never heard of Pinkberry.  Oh and “I shared a bagel…with the trash…”

What’s your fav part?
