Friday Combo Platter: Brinty Fresh Edition

This week's Friday Combo Platter helps to answer the burning
question: What fabulousness will the House of Dereon produce next?

Friday Combo Platter: In Defense of George Harrison Edition

People often ask me*, "kdiddy, the MamaPop writers seem like such a fun-loving bunch, warm, caring, and considerate of each other's feelings. They really reserve their shit-talking for everyone else in the world, huh?" I am here to show you that that is not true at all. We're often cruelest to each other.

*This is a total lie.

Friday Combo Platter: Leprechaun Vampire Edition

The Combo Platter is a little light this week, in my opinion. Folks have been busy and/or boxing in the first round with the kangaroo that is seasonal affective disorder. Not that I would know anything about that. Ahem. But we still have some lulz to share.

Friday Combo Platter: Scrotal Humor Edition

Today's Combo Platter has three main ingredients:

• Testicles

• Homances (the female equivalent of bromances)

• Racists

There's also a bonus sub-thread. COULD YOUR LIFE GET MORE AWESOMER? I THINK NOT!

Friday Combo Platter: Also Mental Hospital Edition

Yay! It's Friday! That means that the weekend is here, Where the Wild Things Are is opening today, and it's time for the Combo Platter.

Our best email thread from this week is one that I can't share with you because lives would be ruined. Suffice it to say, nothing is truly sacred with the MamaPop email distro.

So I dug back a few months and found this exchange which occurred after a reader sent us an email with this image attached and little to no explanation as to why she felt it was important for us to see. (By the way, Hannah, if you're reading...sweetie, what is this supposed to mean?)

Friday Combo Platter: "Rape-Rape" Edition

It's Friday! That means it's time for the delicious smoked meats and cheeses that are the email threads of the MamaPop writers and the fantastic comments that you, our dear readers, leave for us like so many presents under the Festivus pole. Or like so many rabbit turds, depending on your motivation.

Friday Combo Platter: It Takes a Willage Edition

It's time once again for the Friday Combo Platter, the weekly feature in which we highlight our favorite LOL-or-WTF-worthy comments and our favorite email thread from the past seven days.

This week's best email thread was actually born out of what was originally our comment of the week. But the ensuing snark was too funny and another comment came along to take its place. So, let's get to it, shall we?

Friday Combo Platter: Shity Gettho Edition

You are regularly treated to the wit of your beloved MamaPop writers here on the site. But did you know that behind the scenes we crack each other up via our email distro? At least once a week, an email thread brightens the days of your resident pop culture mavens through the cunning use of sarcasm and absurdity. Not too long ago, someone had the fantastic idea of picking the best thread of the week and letting the readers get a peek inside the insanity, er, brilliance that keeps this place going.

We also receive some very special comments from you, our dear readers. Comments that give us some insight into the quirky inner workings of the emotional roller coasters that you ride when reading about shark movies and Top Chef and Speidi.

So, as material permits, we're going to start bring the best of the distro and the comments in a new feature called the Friday Combo Platter.
