An Honor Just to be Nominated

What a dilemma. Lady M is receiving a huge award from Nickelodeon tonight, but she won’t be able to accept it in person. We’re still holed up here in the Big White getting ready for our meeting next week with Carla. It’s the usual routine: detox and Botox. We’ll be enjoying olive oil dipped cotton appetizers and a full body slimming wrap and wax. We want to look our best – you know, for the American people.

But let me tell you about the big award. It’s the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice “Big Help Award” for Lady M’s “Let’s Move” campaign aimed at ending childhood obesity and promoting wellness and healthy living among the nation’s youth. Wow! This is like the Nobel of Anti- Fat Awards! Only this one doesn’t come with any kroners.

Nickelodeon said the award “recognizes those who seek to better the world, and whose significant impact on their community has inspired kids to do the same.”

Boy, that’s Lady M alright: seeking to better the world one organic vegetable at a time. I sure wish we could go to accept the award in person though.(The award is a big orange blimp. Just a coincidence – it’s their logo)

Because usually, after they present you with the blimp, they like to  dump a big bucket of Nick’s trademark green slime on you!  The kids love it.

The Nickelodeon people suggested maybe we could do a remote sliming right here in the Big White. But apparently our new social secretary nixed that idea, because ABC is reporting that some Big White spokesperson has already announced there will be “no slime” at the White House.

Au contraire, mon frère! But that’s an altogether different story.

But wait! There’s more! MO and Big Guy were also nominated for this year’s “cutest couple” Nick award. The competition for this category was a lot stiffer than the “Big Help” award, and it doesn’t look like we’re going to win that one. Hard to believe, I know. APTOPIX Obama US FranceToo cute by half

But I know we would have gone if we had bagged that one, because  Big Guy really likes to accept awards. And the Wee Wons would have loved to see him get slimed. As would a fair share of the rest of America.

  1. Too bad she won't be slimed. She would look simply fabulous drapped in snot.

  2. I don't mean to belabor the obvious, but she already has a thick coat of Chi-town slime, under new Beltway coat.

  3. Motus,

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for that lovely slime job! You helped brighten an otherwise lackluster evening reading the 0dumbocare law.

    It's amazing when you see her in that reddish dress how slimming it is. I'm amazed that she can see photos of herself in that and then turn around and wear one of her bizarro outfits with 3 boob belts! Or the shoes with the toes missing or or...well I could really carry on for a while, but I'll end it there. We're all MUCH too familiar with the newest fashion icon's fashion faux pas. (Is there a plural I should know about? Oh the dilemmas of posting as a MOL! Who knew?)

  4. OMG, you guys! The French issue of Elle features a plus-sized model!! They claim they're acknowledging that beautiful women come in all sizes. Her's a quote from the article in The Guardian:

    "Although far behind the US and the UK, the French are getting significantly bigger. Statistics show that 42% of French women are now classified as overweight or obese, while more than half the male population – 51% of French men – are officially overweight or obese."

    This news should make MO delirious!

  5. Congratulations, Our Lady of Fatisme!! I am such a fan, you know, and I am disturbed that Dear Reader gets all these allusions to his deity and Our Lady gets none, so the new name. I think it is perfect -- it encompasses her cause (fat), includes children, and directs one's thoughts to her deity -- which she portrays so humbly. I, for one, appreciate her enormous sacrifices for the American people.

    Motus, your welcoming me to the blog the other day was appreciated. I was afraid I would not be welcome since I hold Our Lady in such high regard. BTW I have been told by so many sources about the Potus and Flotus being an exemplary couple and outstanding parents, I just do not know how another couple could have surpassed them as cutest couple. Must have been a huge mistake in the selection. The votes were most certainly not tallied in Chicgo.

  6. Oh, MOTUS! You slay me! Passing on that myth of the cutest couple and all. Evidently Nick has never seen Todd and Sarah...cutest couple of the century. And then there's the "no slime at Big White" joke. Ha Ha.

    The poor Frenchies. Carla must start a campaign as "Czarina of the Slender, Thin and Beautiful"...such a living example of a graceful figure. The First Fatso, of course, uses herself as an example too...how to lose weight on ice cream, pizza, lobster and caviar. At this rate, I reckon she'll be around 200lbs by 2012 when she goes back to Chicago.

    By all means, Welcome, cherie...that's French, oui?

  7. Laughing hystericaly, she said, "I can't take it anymore" as they gave the award to MO for the slimy-ist political campaign addressed to children. After accepting the award, MO yelled out, "you guys, are TOO fat" and the crowd cheered.
    In all fairness, the traditional slime should be poured on the SEIU who will be the only beneficiary of this FatKidsBehinds program.

  8. cherie, welcome to MOTUS's collection of MOLs, a better group of snarkers you will not find on the web.

    Yes, I had not considered Our Lady of Fattyme as being possibly divine, but when you consider how she is sacrificing herself to prove how not to eat, it appears you may have a point. A real martyr, our queen, for her holy cause. But just remember that she cannot become a saint until there are three miracles:

    1. She puts on a pair of nylons.
    2. Wears three consecutive outfits that do not make her look like a fashion goon.
    3. Actually eats a salad.

    BARACK OBAMA, COWARD'S TOUR OF AFGHANISTAN

    By Larry Johnson

    March 28, 2010

    I do not begrudge Barack Obama arriving in the dark at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. It makes sense from a security standpoint. But once you are in country you should have the fortitude to treat the visit like Afghanistan is a real country. Barack did not. Sneaking in and sneaking out of Afghanistan projects weakness and cowardice.

    I believe our policy in Afghanistan is working, believe it or not. General McChrystal’s leadership is paying dividends, and I was one of his critics at the outset.

    So here we have Barry Soetoro Obama’s furtive arrival in Afghanistan. What should he have done?

    You don’t force the troops to stay up to 12am in order to provide you a photo op. You don’t require the Afghan government to meet with you at 11 pm at night. Act like you are in charge. Demonstrate through your actions that you are confident that our military is getting control of the battlefield.

    THIS IS FROM ONE OF THE POSTERS AT NQ.

    IT'S DEFINITELY A 'KEEPER'.....


    Onofre's arm


    This creepy midnight visitation reminds me of the visit of another foreboding specter from literature.

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while they pondered weak and weary
    Over many loving and heartfelt letters from a distant shore,
    While they nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As if some one gently rapping, rapping at their barracks door.
    "Tis some visitor," they muttered, "tapping at our barracks door--
    Tis that ass Obama, and nothing more.

    When they asked him, quite sincerely,
    About their home they love so dearly,
    "Will we soon return to our loving shore,
    And will things be like as before?"
    Quoth Obama,---

    "Nevermore."

  12. Breeze, the manly menfolk are unable to truly comment at this time. I beleive actions speak louder than words, as do most men and women of purpose.

    Let the Great Deluder beware*

    Beware means, "be aware".

  13. How impressive the First Blimp getting a blimp award, just saying....

  14. Bettyanne, your 3 points are the "impossible dream"; "fashionistas" do not dress like anyone else. Besides, if she suddenly started dressing appropriately we would be left adrift searching for some other clueless "fashion icon".
    ReplyDelete
  15. Personally, I'd like to see more of Obama in that green outfit.

    Bettyann -- those 3 things--priceless!

    Breeze- thank you for posting those!

  16. cherie and bettyann,
    I'm sure Lady M would like to be beatified, or awarded sainthood (which she definitely thinks she's earned). I'm just not sure she wants it bad enough to wear hoisery,dress appropriately or actually eat her veggies.
    And Breeze, thanks for the links and especially the poem - I know Big Guy will love it!

    Very busy with Lady M's Carla preps today, but thanks everyone for your comments, I'll be sure to pass them on.
