But I thought you would be interested to know that SweatBlock emailed me today to say that already the response from that post in terms of sales has been almost as good as the response they received when they appeared on Dr. Oz. Which can lead one only to conclude that you Strangers are sweaty beasts.
And now, your Pictures and Distractions. And yes. I am in every picture. I just like myself that much.

~It Just Gets Stranger
So are the followers of this blog called strangers? They could also be called ELItes.
ReplyDeleteShut up! Where the hell were you when I was coming up with things?!?
DeleteI don't think the Stranger community could adjust to a change like that though. Even though it is a lovely tribute to Eli. It's like a compliment saying he's elite, and also that he's Eli.
DeleteHow about the Stranger ELItes? Make a shirt!
DeleteI read this in the scripture tense. As in Nephites... Lamanites... ELItes... *sigh* #missionin5days
DeleteI read it in a scripture tense too.
DeleteAn behold, there was a great multitude. And they were called the Elites. And they were good.
DeleteAnd it came to pass that the Elites were an elite people.
DeleteUtah must have the world's best dentists. Look at all those perfect smiles...

ReplyDeleteHow is it that EVERYONE you know, including yourself, is beautiful?! And their hair is great too...but not as great as yours, of course.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Little Mermaid thing. I have hated that movie forever. As a parent, it makes me crazy that Ariel DELIBERATELY disobeys time and again, causes so much trouble, over a guy she doesn't know, but is sure she is in love with, puts the entire sea in danger, almost gets her Father killed, and is just a constant disaster. And then, Daddy APOLOGIZES TO HER!!!! WHAT??? And, if a guy is going to leave you because someone else has a nice voice, then, go back to the sea honey, he isn't for you.
ReplyDeletePS: For goodness sake. Your friends, male and female are all gorgeous. Do they have to go through some sort of beauty competition or application process to be your friends? Your hair is so much better than theirs, though.
I agree, the Little Mermaid is the worst. Ariel always seemed so whiny. Doesn't she realize that mermaids are an endangered species so she should just take one for the team and stay a mermaid?
DeleteHahaha. Yea Ariel, JUST TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM!!!!
DeleteI've always thought that, too!! This is what I posted as a comment on that "Overthinking" blog:
DeleteYou left out my biggest complaint about this movie!! Arial is a rebellious girl who directly disobeys her father, makes a deal with "the devil" and has to be rescued at the risk of his entire kingdom, and whose actions are the reason her father ends up a prisoner of Ursula. After his rescue and reinstatement as king, instead of experiencing some sort of penance for her stupid, selfish, immature actions, her father grants her wish to be human and go off and marry her prince! The moral of the story? Selfish actions lead to living "happily ever after". Ugh.
2 things: I thought I was your best friend .. not Corey. I would also like to see Tami every friday so we can see what she is doing with her hair.
ReplyDeleteHairdreamer: one, obviously Corey was holding a gun to my head when I wrote that. And two, you just earned everyone TWO Tami hair pictures next week!
DeleteOkay. So are those llamas on your friends shorts?! If so, he totally needs to be my new best friend!...BESIDES YOU, you will always be first!
ReplyDeleteSo what's the real story with Ms. Hannah. She looks so nice and normal in all your pictures, but she hangs out with you at least once every week! That's not normal. Granted if given the chance I'd hang out with you ever day, but I know I'm not normal. I just have a thing for perfect hair...
ReplyDeleteWhat's the promo code?
ReplyDeleteSTRANGER. He said it's only good till the 25th I think.
DeleteI don't use the stuff, but I remembered it from the post the guy put up in the sweatblock blog.
MUAHAHA :D
