Fun Fact Friday: Oh for Pete’s Sake edition
Wassuuuuuup GBD! So apparently, there were no true facts last Friday AND the Friday before that. Even though Mari and G came up with the facts last week, I don’t hold them responsible because they were just slaving away late at night to brighten up your Friday. You know whose fault this is? Binks. Who was she to go on vacation WHEN THERE WERE FUN FACTS TO BE MADE?? GBD, I ask you…fun in the sun or fun on the Friday? I know, right??
As for last last week’s edition…that one is totally Marcus’ fault. Marcus’ favorite hobby is to deprive Kendra of sleep. So it’s only natural that in her hazy state of exhaustion, she sent me a false fact EVEN THOUGH I ASKED FOR TRUE ONES. Don’t be fooled by the cuteness GBD – it’s just a cover for the evil mastermind that lurks beneath.
Anyway, just to be clear…Kendra didn’t actually get surgery on her eyes when she was a baby. That was just a story her family kept telling her.
I’m not sure what the point is of going through this exercise since none of these facts are true, but here we go anyway:
- Binks created swine flu and it backfired. That’s why she’s “on vacation.” <– FALSE. Binks actually went on vacation to settle a score with a certain goat.
- Binks crashed the car once when she was backing out of her garage. Her mom was not impressed. <– FALSE. This was supposed to be the true fact, but apparently the snafu occurred in a parking lot somewhere. Binks’ mom was still not impressed though.
- Binks got into a knife fight with a goat when she was growing up in Tijuana. <– FALSE. It was hand-to-hand combat. Binks thinks knives are for sissies.
- After I constantly nagged her to include more vegetables in her diet, Binks finally gave in by adding extra ketchup to her In-N-Out burgers. *sigh* Well, at least it’s not on pizza. ;) <– FALSE. According to Roma, In-N-Out burgers don’t have ketchup. Yet one more reason why New York is superior to California.
This is the point where I usually list the new set of facts. But the past couple editions have left me deflated. I mean, if I can’t reliably post just ONE true fact per week, then what good am I? So I’m going to go sulk in a corner and ponder the point of my existence.
Actually, the reality is that I don’t have a new set of facts. No one has submitted any. Waa waaaaa.
I feel like I’m gypping you guys though. So here’s a video that will hopefully entertain you. That and get a little international culture up in here. It’s in Japanese, but don’t worry because funny is funny, no matter the language.
I’ll be gone this weekend visiting my sis in our nation’s capital. Binks, G…don’t worry. I won’t tell the CIA a thing.
