What’s In Your Wheelchair?
Admit it. We’ve all done it. After transferring into bed at night, you realize you’ve been rolling around all day with some embarrassingly bizarre object that has somehow attached itself/instered itself into your chair. It’s fess-up time, people. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever found on your wheelchair, that either you unknowingly, or someone else, put there? Here’s my list: – Makeup pencil sharpener that hitched a ride on my footrests all day. – Makeup brush that managed to fall alongside my ass on my seat cushion. That’s where that went?! – Beach sand from Sanibel Island in FLORIDA that was still in my wheelwell, discovered after I had been back at home in MN for…

Nan You’re a Window Shopper
Sometimes a good song is all you need to start your week off right. On that note, I present to you the hilarious song: Nan You’re a Window Shopper by Lily Allen Seriously, what can be funnier than a snotty British teen teasing her Grandma about window shopping and never buying, and how her colostomy bag is leaking? Ok, it’s a bit cruel, but it’s all in good fun. Follow the link above for the free MP3. Lyrics! The Bottom feels so much better than the top So much better (fade better)(Chorus) Nan you’re a window shopper Taking a look but you never buy Nan you’re a window shopper You wont…

Colbert and Gorlock
So let’s face it, The Colbert ReporT hasn’t been at peak performance lately, being that all of their writers are currently on strike. But (and this is a big “but” here), the creation of Gorlock, an alien financial advisor recommended to Steven by crazy-Scientologist-midget, Tom Cruise, is some of the funniest shit I’ve seen on TV in a long time…especially when Steven bitches about how Gorlock gave him bad financial advice (or never even called him), when the Stock Market tanked the other day. Go laugh yourself some tears of pure, unadulterated alien-joy: Go now. Must watch Gorlock. – Tiff

The Lame Para vs. Quad Debacle
In all my years as a member of the gimp community, one of the most ridiculous things I’ve come across is the way some paras and quads polarize their para or quadness, and form little lame ass gangs where they exhalt the characteristics of their injuries. For the life of me I could never figure this out. Are they so insecure that the only way they can feel better about themselves is so talk themselves into believing they’re somehow superior than the other half of the SCI population? I just don’t get it. And I know that a lot of quads, no matter their level, are bitter towards paras; jealous mainly…

Words You Should Know
Filed under: Funny Sh#t, Wheelchair Life — Tiffiny @ 3:32 pm Here’s how you say “wheelchair” in a few different languages: – Fauteuil Roulant (French) – Sillon de Ruedas (Spanish) – Rollstuhl (German) – Rolstoel (Dutch) – Sedia a Rotelle (Italian) – Kurumaisu (Japanese) And on the same token, if you use a wheelchair, knowing how to say “Fuck you” in a few different languages should also prove useful: – Va te faire toutre (French) – Jodete (Spanish) – Fick dich (German) – Kutding (Dutch) – Vaffanculo (Italian) – Mechi Baka (Japanese) Happy swearing wheelchair people! – Tiff

“Crappy” Food That Should Be Brought Back
Case in point Numero Uno: McDonald’s FRIED Apple Pie (and the Fried Cherry Pie, RIP). Screw the wussy-girl Baked Apple Pie they’ve been pimping since 1992. I want me some fried tasty outer-shell, heart-attack inducing goodness. And why in the FRECK did such a genius corporation get rid of perhaps the best fast-food desert in the history of food in the first place? Was it to create easier prep or prevention of lawsuits due to magma-hot filling flying in your face? Trans-fat/MSG being the reasons, I really don’t care… Apparently (heard on the Internet grapevine), the tasty-schmasty fried apple pie can be found at McDonalds stores loacted in Walmarts (in various…

Creature Discomforts
Check-out the UK’s latest public service attempt to educate the their public on the dis-life (with all the characters voiced by actual people with disabilities): Creature Discomforts The same company that created the popular movie/series “Wallace & Gromit” also did this. I’m liking it! – Tiff
