Things I said this month on live tv or radio that made me think “Wow, I should not be allowed to do live media”:
“I mean, I don’t want to finger the guy who sold me all those drugs.”
“That? Oh, that was me pretending to be attacked by a Sasquatch.”
“I’m on a LOT of cold medication.”
“Unless you came out of my birth canal and lady garden you don’t get to call me ‘mommy’.”
“When do we start? Shit. We’ve already started, haven’t we?”
“No, the weasel was already dead when I opened it.”
“So then I was stuck in the cow’s..uh…can I say “vagina” if I’m referring to a cow’s vagina?”
“I did a lot of clown porn stuff. Victor wasn’t pleased. He hates clowns.”
“They really shouldn’t let me on live radio.”
I also did a Skype reading wearing a strapless dress and it looked like I was naked and I didn’t notice it until someone else posted a picture of me.
Dear me: Perhaps you should avoid tube tops on Skype. And just...you know...in general.

In unrelated news, I’m doing the weekly wrap-up early because we’re taking Hailey to DisneyWorld this weekend to make me feel like a less terrible mother since I’ve been gone on tour so much.
So now, time for the weekly wrap-up…
What you missed in my shop (tentatively called “Eight pounds of uncut cocaine” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):
What you missed on the internets:
- Hailey and Ferris are both getting too big to carry.
- P0rn typos (probably not entirely safe for work)
- People on NPR are very conflicted about me.
- Kick-ass stuff I pinned.
This week on shit-I-didn’t-come-up-with-but-wish-I-did-because-it’s-kind-of-awesome:
{ 185 comments… read them below or add one }
It’s these quotes that make people love you as much as they do.
Have fun at Disneyland!
Amanda recently posted..jurassic park: the only possible wedding theme
“Cow’s vagina” makes “vagina” much better. Not that we should be worried about anyone’s vagina, but, you know, some people get sensitive about things which are not bovine related.
Jillian recently posted..Damn It Feels Good To Be A Hipster
Oh I don’t know. I vote more cold meds and lots more live tv. A match made in heaven. You are divine, Ms Bloggess, in all of your naked Skype splendor!! Xoxo. BTW those are NOT taxidermied animals at Disney. I wish someone had told me (awkward).
OMG going to disneyland with you would be the most fun EVER. Also I think you should be on live everything, just to keep people on their toes.
Additionally, the people on my recent flight may have hated me for all the very out loud laughing I was doing while reading your amazing book.
tova recently posted..Proud again and moving forward.
Out of context, those quotes are scary. Reading your blog makes them flippin’ hilarious!!! Enjoy Disney!!!!
I Skype naked all the time. Not that anyone really wants to see that.

Stephanie recently posted..My McGyver Moment, or The Night I Saved the World
Honestly- it’s those quotes that make me glad you do live stuff. Most interviews are much too boring.
You aren’t the only one who makes themselves look naked on accident. I have an knack for taking self portraits in strapless dresses… and yep. I can’t ever share them because I look naked. Ha!
Enjoy WDW!!
Whitney recently posted..We watch a lot of NCIS.
And THIS is why we love you.
Anna Nonamus recently posted..And then, I forgot Spouse was old
Personally I would claim the Skype chat WAS done nekked. No need to mention the strapless dress. It’s always best to play these things up for all they’re worth. Think of the increase in audience size you’ll have the next time you do a live reading on Skype.
whenever I go back to my hometown to visit my parents, legitimately the first thing I demand is Cafe Rio. THEIR SALAD IS AMAZING. And I know that probably sounds sad, like, “oh wah, I like salads,” BUT GO THERE AND EAT ONE AND THEN TELL ME I’M WRONG
Carling recently posted..re: future hall and oates post
super fun quotes. I would say those kind of crazy things too. which is why you SHOULD be allowed to be live on stuff. To make us feel like not the only weirdo’s
It would help, too, if they told you what you can and can’t say BEFORE they throw you on the air. If they did their research, they should know that cow vagina was going to come up at some point. And the part about the weasel…

OMG, Disney World! Last time I was there they had just debuted the new ride Sum of All Thrills in EPCOT. You get to ride a giant robot arm. It is so freakin’ cool! Also, there is a tequila bar in the Mexican pavillion. They have ~flights~ of tequila.
Know why I shouldn’t be on live TV or radio? Because I’d say even worse stuff. They’d switch on the camera and I’d be all “I like toast” and they’d be all “why did we bring her here?” And I most certainly would never be invited back.
Kelly at Cibatarian recently posted..Yeastie Beasties on the job
Disney World…really? Okay, I know you’re focused on making up mom points or something, but couldn’t you have worked another book tour stop into this trip? Disney World is only about an hour from where I live. I could totally make it to Orlando to see you. It’s not really fair to tease those of us who have not had the opportunity to see you on your tour with the knowledge that you’ll be so close to where we live but we still won’t be able to see you.
No, this is why you need your own radio station. Better yet, a podcast, where you can say whatever the fuckity fuck you want to.
Heretic Husband recently posted..Nobody’s Perfect (and other lame excuses)

Have seen that picture before and until just now I assumed you were naked, but hadn’t given it much thought. What does that say about both of us?
Someday, they’ll have a Bloggess “Quote of the day” generator (right up there with Einstein and Benjamin Franklin!) and ALL these will be in the rotation! (Ha! I’m already ahead of the game ’cause I saw them here first.) Here’s hoping you and your family have a freekin’ AWEWSOME time!
Chris Dean recently posted..World Couch-Slug Appreciation Day
When I picture things growing in lady gardens, I picture a huge garden full of flowers, sunshine, fairies and babies growing in little pulsating, slimy baby-pods, kinda like the ones in the movie “Aliens” that had the awful little mini-aliens growing in them that would screech and latch onto people’s faces. Oh, and a babbling brook or a pond or some shit. Somehow, this makes me hate my uterus a little less, though I don’t know why.
Banana Stickers recently posted..It really was a cute phone cover
I LOVED your interview on NPR today at lunch. Since I had to sit there and listen to ALL of it, I was late for lunch with my writer friend. But after I explained my social faux pas, she’s now looking up your interview online.

I would likely skype naked on purpose…but that’s because I don’t do tube tops.

Your cat is named Ferris? Oi vey, I can’t wait till my friends start in with the pussy jokes.
Have fun at Disney!
You, know from that camera angle you totally could Skype naked and no one would really know, except that one would inevitably forget and stand up to get something and BAM! Which is why we all shouldn’t Skype naked.
Holly Folly recently posted..We Have a Peep!
“Unless you came out of my birth canal and lady garden you don’t get to call me ‘mommy’.”

I’m sure the seemingly naked Skype reading sold lots of books. Brilliant strategy. Plus I bet that photo is circulating all over the internet right now.
Stacey recently posted..Flutter
It’s true that you look naked.
Jim W. recently posted..Walk Day!
Like most of the others here, I agree, Jenny–you totally looked like you were sitting for that interview buck naked. You also look mighty happy about it.
Looks like you’ve come up with a “titillating” new strategy for selling books.

Never think you shouldn’t have made the Lady Garden comment – I got one of the most laughingly effusive thank you’s of ever when i gifted the onesie to my cousin for her new daughter…Of course, it was also paired with the card where Juanita Weasel is screamingly excited about eating *WELCOMING* the new familial addition, which got posted on FB as ‘The funniest card I will ever get’…so thanks to you my social media immortality has begun…but since there can be only one, I bow to you, with humble gratitude
Just got my “Sorry. Real Clothes are too difficult” and “Feeling Stabby” t-shirts today… love them! Thank you for being you and sharing you (and Victor, bless his heart) with us!

I’d like to apologise to the hoggy, slow readers in New Zealand.
I have been 27th on the list to get your book for about a month.
NO friggin movement at all.
While I am DYING to laugh out loud and squirt coffee out my nose, paying for the Crack Puppy’s meds has required cutbacks in our discretionary income.
Hence the need to visit the library instead of Amazon.
If you flew over New Zealand and dropped books and stuffed animals, that would solve a lot of problems.
It’s only a short flight from Texas. We promise. So come on down under.

Yeah, every time I open my mouth and something unexpectedly outrageous comes out (…which is pretty near ALL THE TIME), it ALSO turns out I’m being taped. For later playback under soberer conditions (yes, Mrs. McGillicutty, ‘soberer’ IS a verb). Go figger.

Chicago is a seven hour drive for me – that’s the closest to me you have been on your tour, oh Bloggess the great. Please, please, PLEASE tell me you’re gonna make a stop somewhere closer to the armpit of southwestern Indiana?! Nashville? Louisville? St. Louis? Indianapolis? Hell, even Cincinnati? C’mon… us midwestern corn-fed kids think you may very well be a certifiable genius. Or maybe just certifiable. Either way, given the chance to meet you in person, I totally swear to have your caricature tattooed somewhere as a testament to my love of the great and powerful Bloggess. (is that enough ass kissing yet?)
Wait. Tattooed? I meant drawn on my skin in lovely shades of Sharpie markers. Girl’s gotta keep her day job, ya know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJP1DphOWPs I’m not sure if you’ve seen this yet but I just saw it and thought of you. Non creepily of course.
Don’t you hate wardrobe malfunctions that aren’t actually malfunctions at all! Somehow, you have actually managed to plan out an ensemble that comes off just totally wrong. Like the time I thought I was being totally hip by wearing a black bra beneath my white shirt…it turns out you can only pull that off if you are a soap opera character.
Your blog is awesome!!!
I was listening to a podcast earlier and they recommended your book and I got SO EXCITED!!! It was on last week’s episode of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, so you definitely do have some fans at NPR.
Also, am I the only one who thought of cookies when I read “jumblies”? I feel like there’s a good reason for this, but I don’t remember it…
Katherine recently posted..Today, I have zero willpower
So here’s the deal, Jenny. There are like, a bajillion people here offering to buy you Caferryoh. I am one of theme. Therefore, you have over a bajillion fans in the greater Utah area. Therefore, you have to come to Utah on your book tour. Puhleeeeez? The math TOTALLY checks out.
Ashleigh recently posted..Panic. Attack.
My heart sings that you sponsored Cafe Rio today. You should probably do a reading in Utah just so you can try Cafe Rio because it is the best food you will ever put into your mouth EVER. And then you should do one in Vegas the week of my anniversary (June 7thish) because that’s where I’ll be, celebrating it. IN FACT, now that I think about it, there’s a Cafe Rio IN Vegas!

Oh god, it was the ‘naked’ picture that really got me laughing tonight. It’s just so perfect because you really WEREN’T and yet you just KNOW some pervy people were staying to listen JUST for that.
I’m sorry, and thank you for sharing. It makes me laugh because I’m the kindof person who would do a webcam interview without pants on, and forget, and stand up to get something while the camera was still going, thus mortifying myself.

Okay, I actually just spit my coffee out on my keyboard – because, yes you do look like you’re naked. And it is AWESOME that you’ll still post those pictures anyway!
At least you never ended a voice mail message with “Sincerely, Jenny.” I was so tired during tax season I kept thinking I was emailing my clients instead of talking to their answering machines and embarrassed myself forever.

Either way, they are fucking delicious.

I skyped for the FIRST time about a month ago. It was with a sub contracted website designer who is from Romania. My being from California, it being a hot night, I was in a tube top sundress.
I had to wait until 10:30 at night to skype him, so that it was morning for him.
So here I am, a tired, tube top, sundress, nightgowny thing wearing, gal skyping Romania at night time. My husband, and kids had gone to bed, but thank god my hubby had gotten up, and informed me of my ‘naked’ look.
I feel ya on this! Strapless tube tops + skype = Unintentional Floozeball!
Oh, P.S.- I have been reading your blog for a while, this is my first comment. But I actually witnessed you on T.V. and yelled out “Hey, I know her”

Also, you DO look naked, but also hot, so its ok.

I am reading your book. It should have a warning sticker – “Wearing a diaper and having your inhaler handy is highly recommended while reading this book.” Just sayin’.
For crap’s sake, I can’t believe how long I’ve been wasting my time on this earth without knowing about The Worst Things for Sale. Please, the obsidian healing orb: my favorite. Thanks for sharing the awesome. XO

Never apologize about talking about your lady garden in a live interview. It’s keeps the interviewer on their toes.

I say stupid things all the time. Thankfully, never on live media because I’m not that popular.

HEY THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
i don’t do twitter and i don’t have time to set up an account just to warn you of an impending zombie apocalypse. so first of all, where the hell is the Activate Early Warning System button on this website?
secondly, did you get so hard to contact all of a sudden because of your new book or because of comments like this?
third, what’s your game plan?
i’m gathering supplies, heading to the high seas.

Hey Jenny,
I thought of something else to add to the list…
I bought a do-it-yourself vag wax kit today. Who WOULDN’T want to be friends with someone who is willing (crazy?) enough to wax their own crotch? Actually I plan to trick my husband into doing it for me, but still its sort of do-it-yourself.

I took my daughter to the zoo and when we were riding the tram a woman in front of us was wearing a tube top dress. My two-year-old was yelling at me, “WHY IS SHE NAKED!?” And wouldn’t believe me that she did, in fact, have a top on and wasn’t riding through the zoo in the buff. Tube tops are dangerous.

Well for me, sometimes I don’t love doing something live too because I might say something that can be offensive or just not right for the listeners and for the viewers as well..

Congrats on being on the NY Times Best Seller List. AMAZING. And anyone who read your book should know what to expect to come out of your mouth:-)
I would be so much better on live tv and radio if only they could edit it a bit. And, you know, have me ON the tv and radio. That could help, too…
tracey recently posted..Much Thanks
Yeah, get yourself to Utah STAT! Cafe Rio is the best food on this whole dang planet. Even my kid is obsessed with them (he’s 4.) The salads are to die for. Like literally, if I ever turn into a zombie, I’m going to eschew the whole brains thing and go for these salads. I’m drooling just thinking about them.
(Don’t even get me started on the tortillas.)

Okay, work with me here, ‘TheBloggess’s Celebrity Cruise’ sorta like when a band does a cruise and its their fans. You and your fam should do one! I can just picture the ‘incidents’ at the buffet. It would be great! Think about it, just remember I get a free ticket for the idea!
Hope you had fun at Disney! I saw your daughter’s end-of-first-grade video right before I read the chapter in your book about your pregnancies. As I was reading the chapter, I kept thinking, “It will be okay, your little girl is amazing and adorable and delightful!”

Are you sure you weren’t naked and then decided halfway through that it wasn’t funny so now you’re trying to play it off as though you were wearing “a strapless dress”? How very Emperors new clothes of you! I am impressed.
Cafe Rio is super delicious, best pork barbacoa anywhere in ever. When I visit my family in Utah (they moved there from San Diego a few years ago in a bout of “we’ve had too much perfection in our lives”) I make sure to gain ten pounds on Cafe Rio. It’s only fair.

My band used to do a lot of college radio and I was constantly putting my foot in the mic, iykwim.
Luckily only like 12 people were probably listening. Once a listener ordered us a pizza. But stuck us with the bill. DOH!

Was listening to NPR in the car last week and heard this chic talking about taxidermied critters with clothes on and thought. “Hmmmff I bet that’s Jenny Lawson” and it was. Kudos! Also, interviews are generally safe and boring, so we’re glad to see you’re not going that route!
You just make live tv and radio interesting…soon you’ll be on Conan (the show, not the man…at least I’m assuming) just because he recognizes the value of cow vagina commentary.
Jess recently posted..Fancy-Pants Hotel, or Den of Iniquity?
This book is hilarious!!! I was raised in Utah with an alcoholic father and a Catholic mother and you make my childhood look like the freakin Waltons!! Yeah Misfits!!!
At least you didn’t wear a tube top in your school picture in 1979 for all the kids to remember. Or maybe that was you? Thanks for the laughs. And for The Worst Things for Sale. Awesome stuff.
Glad to see I’m not the only one that wears a tube top in my web camera. Although, it may be a little weird since I’m a guy.
These are great quotes.

Um, Cafe Rio DOES have fantastic tortillas! But if you ever make it out to Utah, get the pork burrito… enchilada style.
I personally think it would be great if you came to Utah, because then I could listen to some of these things you shouldn’t say live on the radio, live on the radio!

I came here expecting to read your take on the zombie attack in Florida only to find nothing about it, plus your GOING to Florida on vacation!!!! I can only conclude that the zombies already got o you.
This comment has nothing to do with the post but….
I know that it’s a little steep in price but the minute I saw it I thought of you. Thanks for making the internets hi-larious.

Okay, off topic but in all seriousness… have you heard about the zombie-face-eating guy in Florida?
Like, SERIOUSLY. Apparently he is the fourth person to act like this. It’s so gross, but so zombie apocalypse that I had to share.

Definitely no strapless on Skype! Especially not low-cut strapless.
haha – I love you! The accidental naked Skype reading is fabulous!
So, I know you probably won’t need this (as let’s face it, you are not surviving the zombie apocalypse), but I thought I’d share this Common Sense Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse that I found on the Magic Kingdom aka Tumblr. Maybe someone here will get good use out of it.

thanks Samantha for the common sense guide to surviving the zombie apocalypse… everyone should have a copy, ya know, just in case…
Enjoy Disneyworld!!
The world needs more nudie-skype! Tube top fever – CATCH IT!!!
Once you understand the reason your mom is holding back, ask her under what conditions she would think it would be okay for you to be on your own. Is there an age she feels you need to reach before that can happen? Does she not trust your friends?

I am reading your book very slowly for two reasons.
1. I have to share so much of it, I keep stopping to rwad a passage to my kids, or my friend, or my husband (who then looks at me funny and come on I am trying to share something really important here man!)
2. I don’t want it to end!
Yes, you read that right. I am either the worst mom or the coolest for reading The Bloggess to my kids (I admit to editing your language some). My kids KNOW when it is you and my son is STILL giving me grief that we didn’t fight 2 hour traffic to see you inLA when you came.
Congratulations for you! I think there are also a lot of people who doesn’t want to go on live because of some things.. Anyway, I just love this post so much!

I think we need more people throwing in cow vagina and dead weasel references in the media.
Quite frankly, I think you’ve done the public a great favour.
You were really topless on Skype, weren’t you? …I’m onto you, Ms. Lawson.

Well, I finished the book!
And I loved it.
It was very cathartic for me.
Ironically I even got blood on it from picking at a scab while reading.
Seemed very fitting though.
Maybe naked blogging can be a regular installment.
Or tube top blogging.
OR you pick and then don’t tell us AND WE GET TO GUESS.
Just an idea.
Melissa recently posted..Zooey Deschanel doesn’t know what rain is.
I heard you on Dudley & Bob here in Austin, and it was so endearingly hilarious. Carissa from the show is such a huge fan of yours (as am I!) she was talking about it all week. Then she proceeded to get some sort of poison ivy-type thing on her hoo-hah while reading your book in a park.
In short, thanks for some of the funniest radio I’ve heard so far this year. And we love you here in Austin, neighbor!

Ugh I had the same clothing fiasco as your skype call with my passport photo. I wasn’t thinking when I was getting dressed and wore a tube top to get my photo taken. Now I am stuck looking like a naked lady with green hair for the next 10 years. Awesometime.
omg. The tube top – naked pic? Has me peeing.
Love. <3
Andrea recently posted..Behind … I am so.
You should just pretend you’re naked on Skype all the time. Hell, I would if I could get away with wearing a tube top.

It’s official. The Bloggess is my new crush and possibly my one free pass (pending my husband’s approval).
I couldn’t put the book down (I thought I was the only one who called them ‘Crazy pills’ at least my doctor made me think so) and I am telling everyone I know to read it. Some of my friends are all “Fuck Yes!” and others are all “You thought this was funny?”. It has made dinner parties awkward.
Keep on keepin’ on!

If for some reason you prefer not to be listed on my blogroll, just send me a note and I will remove your link (or if you want me to add a comment or more information about your blog that is fine as well).

Just for the record, don’t wear anything tubey or tank toppy when you get your driver’s license photo either. You will appear to be naked, which is really kind of scary to department and liquor store personnel. It may actually help if you get pulled over a lot… …but still, not worth the crushing embarrassment. * The More You Know! *
No, I think you need to be live frequently, the rest of the world needs to take itself less seriously and I think you can help with that, hard to be too serious when laughing one’s ass off. Just sayin. The tube top however, yeah, don’t do that again. No one over the age of 12, possibly 10, should be wearing those things.
Keep being awesome, you are awesome at it.

Gah! Caferio!! There’s a town in WV (my husband and I are from there) we drive through now and again named Metalton. Now. How would YOU pronounce it? When I said, “Meh-TALL-ten”, my husband nearly drove off the road in hysterics….Love reading! Want to read the memoir now
