Just as a friendly reminder, we put up a post at the end of the day yesterday about how Videogum is now accepting (a better word would be considering) open submissions, and also asking you guys for your input into how to make the site bigger and better than ever. This could be new ideas for kool kontent, or it could be thoughts on the way the commenting community is structured or whatever! We just wanted to make sure you were aware of it, because obviously you are a very important part of the site, and one of Videogum’s great strengths is the intelligence, humor, and thoughtfulness of its commenters. So help us out! And thank you for being those things!
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the Lost Themed Nursery Caption Contest, and the Editor’s and Associate Editor’s Choice.

I realize that the female reproductive system might be mysterious to some, but you know, if you want to legislate my fucking ovaries, maybe you could, you know, read the fuck up on them. |

Well, to be fair, British actors do have a better understanding of period drama acting because the key to a good period drama, no matter what country or ancient civilization it’s set in, is that everyone sounds British. |

I don’t want to get too far into the weeds with this, but I think the Videogum of the future should have more of the stuff that’s pretty good, and less of the stuff that isn’t quite as good. The rest is just details, really. |

Happy Friday everyone! Let’s party!
Party Time
Go Bilbo. Go Bilbo. It’s your Birthday.
I’m serious. It’s your birthday. You should do that thing where you disappear and try to sneak away before Gandalf catches you.
let me do a shuffle for y’all.
So I think this means I finally have an EGOT of some kind! I don’t remember the categories, but hey, I feel happy of myself!
so you kinda lied? that’s shitty.
Lied? No, I don’t think so… I just don’t remember what level EGOT it is. Werttrew had all these different kinds… I know I know have one of them…
oops. damn internet. let me clarify….
OOOooohhh….. a joke! I get jokes!
Congratulations! You urned it!
Ugh, that’s way bigger than I thought it’d be. (TWSS)
Any woman that talks that sexy about urns should be strictly avoided. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this Jawnofthedead, because you seem like a nice fellow. That’s a form of necrophilia you don’t want anything to do with.
Congrats topknot! Here’s your Egon award:
Oh shoot, I think I misread how do I remove a link maybe if I just
There is nothing wrong with the fact that I put Ghostbusters on immediately after seeing this.
Good weeks? That’s a lie, this was a terrible week. But at least we still have gin. There’ll always be gin.
Where can I purchase that moon gin?
It’s available for free, but only on the soon-to-be-totally-real feminist moon base. Open to all feminists who don’t want to live on this stupid planet!
Excellent, could we hop over and drink it at the Bradbury Landing site?
Women
So, will the feminists go to war with Gingrich’s moon base?
durnt mernd urf ur dur!
Gin cannot help me this week as I’m currently incubating a child in my womb. So for me, it’s ice cream. Lots of ice cream. And thoughts of gin in three more months.
Good week guise! Congrats ballers and yay I’m in fire island.
I made the ball! I wanted my first time in the ball to be for something witty, but I suppose rage will have to do. Happy Friday Guys!
Also next week I’m going to the cat video festival in Minneapolis. You all are so jealous I bet. The jealousest.
You mean you’re going to hang out on the internet in Minneapolis? #nailedit
Update on my friend from a couple of Mosters’ Balls ago who is leading on a poor schmuck while she needs a place to stay for those who care (nobody, probably). She asked me to help her move a day early, saying he thinks they’ll date when she’s made it very clear they won’t (she has done nothing of the sort) and that he became “clingy and passive aggressive” when she brought a guy back to his apartment. “He is just too much drama. You know how much I hate drama! Why do these things keep happening to me?” Ohhhhhh you. Don’t ever change, awful friend. Don’t you ever change.

Has anyone seen the mind-blowing trailer for the film of the summer, ’2016′? Apparently it’s really taken the summer by storm. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it.
It’s about how in 2016, what will the U.S. look like after Obama’s second term? Answer: WE’RE ALL SO FUCKED, YOU GUYS!!!
UGH
I was sent an email from a family member with a link to this dumb movie (with the letter that said the movie is cool no matter which way you lean politically), and after I watched the 3-minute trailer and then the 14 minute speech from some college professor at a Conservative Activism conference about how Obama is shrouded in mystery with stuff like birth certificates, preferred religions, details of his book (“he said he dated a girl, but who was this girl? Why has she never come forward?”), and Obama’s sketchy relationships with radical people like Reverend Wright and Obama’s late father.
The guy concludes that the Obama’s book ‘Dreams of My Father,’ is the ULTIMATE CLUE to Obama’s shady goals: Namely, that Obama’s father was an anti-colonialist, and that Obama’s picked up his father’s torch, nailed the presidency, and is trying to reduce the U.S.’s global power and devalue our country’s net worth or something like that. It was such a gross speech. And yeah, that’s what the movie’s about. 2016 predicts the future, showing us a hellish vision of Obama’s 2nd term of TERROR.
In my response email I wrote, “Yeah, that was really racist, fear-mongering, conspiracy fluff, and it was pretty fucked up. But if you’re interested in your so-called ‘non-partisan, interesting-no-matter-your-political-leaning-stuff, here’s a link to Quick Change.”
Bleh. I hate election seasons. There is so much nonsense that has been drummed up and whipped around into a tropical storm of dreck, getting in our eyes and ears like so much sand, grime and shit.
Our national anthem right now would be more accurately represented by the dirgiest funeral dirge played through a spit-caked, dented trombone choked with moldy bread left over from communion.
Oh! uhhhhhhhhhhhh, I meant have a good weekend, everybody!
Shit.
Come to the moon base! We have moon gin!
Moon gin, Space tonic, and Lime-orite wedges, here I come! Tell Sam Rockwell to put his fanciest jumpsuit on!
Sure, you guys thought all these moon jokes were just HI-larious didn’t you? You moon jokers went and killed Neil Armstrong!
Also, that third paragraph is one giant sentence fragment. It should have read (sans parentheses and detail):
After I watched the video, I was disgusted, depressed, and non-plussed that my family member would promote this and send this link to anybody.
I still want to know about Gabe’s snackcation.
Serious! Were there Goldfish?
Have a good weekend you guys. I’ll be out of town next week — don’t do anything without me!
Wait, you were here this week? I thought that was Gary.
Woohoo! First ever Editor’s Choice! Though I can’t tell whether I’m being complimented.
The one day I have a purpose and don’t see this! Aw, shux. Thanks Kelly!
