HOT TIPS!

• The GTB has entered the year 2008...become a fan of us on Facebook! It is possible that the 15 non-authors who have already "fanned" us are the only 15 people who read this...but if we missed anybody, make sure you show us the love, Facebook Style. Do so, here (I have no idea if linking to this page will work).
  
  
• A former of employee of the University of Florida's emergency text messaging service may be charged with an as-yet-to-be-determined-crime for sending an emergency text to thousands of University students and faculty that read "The Monkey Got Out of the Cage". The man claims the text was an accident. Before you judge too harshly, who amongst us hasn't sent a text message they regretted the next day? Just ask this girl we know who sent out an upside down photo with the message "Hagby Odo Xfar?" after one too many bottles of screw-top champagne this New Years Eve!
  
  
• Big fat face Rush Limbaugh relayed a story to his listeners the other day about a recent request he received from an "American Publication" to sum up his feelings about the Inauguration in 400 words. Limbaugh ended his diatribe with "I hope he fails. Somebody's gotta say it." Wow Mr. Limbaugh...aren't you lucky people didn't wish failure upon you when you kicked your prescription drug habit?
  
  
• In case you didn't know, the economy is doing stellar. If you don't believe us check out the National Republican Congressional Committee's website. You can't make this stuff up.
  
  

Scooter & Lulu Forget Own Birthday

We have been so busy telling you about secondhand celebrity gossip, Bush Administration Snafus, and strange news from around the world, so engrossed in our pursuit of a career in unpaid investigatory journalism, so dedicated to passing on the hard-hitting and heartwarming stories that keep our fans coming back day after day, that we forgot a very special 1st birthday. What kind of a mother are we?!?

On June 6th, the Good Times Blog turned 1 Year Old! With 238 posts, countless* comments, numerous fights, endless enlightenments, and thousands of laughs, what started out as another one of our bad ideas, has turned into a mission. A mission to educate you on all the things we think you should care about.

Thanks for stickin’ with us for the last 370 days. We hope this year is the first of many!

If you have a favorite memory from our first year, please post it in the comments section.

With love, Lulu & Scooter

*They aren't countless. We're just too lazy to count.

Have You Seen This Man?

My friend Ross and I went to a movie this past Saturday and when we returned to his condo, we saw the flier pictured above hung on his building's communal announcement board. Since none of you will have the opportunity to see this flier, I thought I would pass along the opportunity to earn this reward. The description is...vague and more than a little confusing, but $10 is $10 so keep your eyes peeled for the following:

Looking for a brown skinned black man with naturally blond hair a golden blond color and golden blond colored eyes. He was last seen in a red Avalanche Truck in 2003. Please contact me at email address y1mail@yahoo.com. Please leave your mailing address. If your information leads to the right person I will mail you 10 dollars.

We Are Both Leaving Town for a Few Days...

Scooter and Lulu will be out of town for a few days, but we wanted to give you something to discuss in our absence.

Topic: Circuit City, Where Service Couldn't Possibly be State of the Art Because they Just Fired 3,400 Salespeople who they Believe to Be "Overpaid"

Commentary: Circuit City announced that it will fire 3,400 employees (9% of their in-store workforce) that they consider to be "overpaid". The employees that are getting the ax are, one would assume for the most part, the employees who have been there the longest, hence their inflated hourly wage. So essentially, Circuit City will shave the most experienced 9% of their employees right off the top. This will save them money, but don't expect them to pass those savings onto you in the form of lower priced electronics. Your new car stereo will cost the same, it will just be installed in place of your engine by a kid who failed 10th grade shop class.

Welcome to Circuit City, Where Service is State of the Art!

Discuss.

Formal Announcements!

We are followers and since everybody is doing it, we want to do it too! Please pay attention to the following announcements:

Scooter of the highly informative Good Times Blog would like to formally announce his candidacy for "father of Dannielynn". Scooter says that he really loved Anna Nicole and would like nothing more than to be the father of the 5-month-old. Scooter joins Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, the fake prince, Anna Nicole's body guard, and her deceased husband in the bid for custody.

Lulu of the incredibly witty and always hilarious Good Times Blog would like to formally announce her candidacy for President of the United States. Being the only person not running, Lulu has decided to join the fight and promises to change her political position so often that you will never be completely sure what she stands for (think Mitt Romney), but assures you that, like most politicians, she won't actually do anything once elected, so it doesn't really matter what she believes.

We hope you, our readers, will support us in our individual endeavors.

Who we are, Why You should Care, As dictated by Us

So there comes a time in everyone's lives where they take stock of who they are, and what they are doing, and then suddenly realize that all of the awesome shit they say and do goes completely unnoticed because it isn't on the internet.

Well folks, for us today is that day. The day we become forever immortalized in cyberspace and potentially ruin any chance we ever had of running for office someday. Well, this applies to lulu only. Scooter is a rabid homosexual and has already damned any chance of any elected, appointed, or really any type of well paid job.

You may be asking yourself why there are 2 of us writing this blog. Are we lazy? Yes. Are we hag and fag? Yes. But thats not why. Our decision to work on this blog together is simply mathematics. Although two distinctly different people, we have somehow evolved the same brain. We laugh at the same things ( things = people), we enjoy the same movies (the crap ones), and we both love to gamble (always split 8's !). Oh, and did we mention how lazy we are?

So what's in store for the good time blogs? Expect a lot of ridiculing of others, a smattering of tales from our everyday lives, and maybe even some political analysis. Oh and dont forget.... lots of awesome shit! Have you ever heard about the time lulu went blind? Fucking awesome story.

DISCLAIMER: Our claim that this blog will be awesome is of course subjective and defined by our standard of awesome. We can't promise all of our commentary will be witty. We can't even promise that it will all be in English (that is, until we make English our national language! Get moving Bill Frist!). But we can promise to try our best and always give 110%. And By 110% we mean 55% each...then shave off about 7% for the times we are drinking and 12% when we are gambling. Which leaves by our calculations enough effort to ensure good times had by all.

Baby Dogs!
Lulu and Scooter
