Freaky Fug Friday

It's that time again, folks. On this Freaky Fug Friday, it's time to punch your ticket and ride the Phoebe Price Is Crazy Train.

THE FUGEE: Phoebe Price, a person of dubious talent who "acts"; former GFY persona non grata turned GFY mascot (because she wore down our resistance).

THE DETAILS: Phoebe here was, as usual posing on Robertson Blvd., this time with her dog, which she has forced to wear a small Santa hat (and... is that a velour sweater on it, too? Oh, PHOEBE). Tragically, her garb isn't as insane as it usually is, but she is still Phoebe, and that's enough.

THE CHALLENGE
: Listen, we think it's wrong to deal with Christmas before Thanksgiving, but we're also not the ones who put a Santa hat on a dog. So: Have at Ms. Price here by parodying the holiday song of your choice, be it a Christmas carol, a Chanukah tune of either traditional or Sandlerian nature... it's up to you. And you don't need to do the entire song; just do enough that we get the gist, and include the title of the actual song you're parodying, because you never know. Somebody might never have heard "Deck The Halls." Kids today, man, I'm telling you.

THE RULES: All entries must be posted in the comments section of this entry -- not e-mailed -- by 10 p.m. Sunday night. From there, we pick our faves, put 'em to a vote... you know the drill.

Congratulations to Dan, whose acrostic poem about Juliette Lewis edged out the competition with 30 percent of the vote and won this week's Freaky Fug Friday contest. To you, we offer thanks for making it so much fun and for taking the time to vote; to Dan, we offer the following real-estate.

So, Juliette
Those drapes you ordered
Really should be used
As drapes.
Now, it seems you think they
Go on your face.
Easy mistake.
Don't be embarrassed.
Anyone could make that error.
You're working it.
Sincerely, Lady Gaga

-- by Dan

Thanks again for what might be our favorite one yet -- we're so happy you're having as much fun with this as we are. We'll come back at you on Friday with another challenge. Until then, I'm Bob Barker, and have your pets spayed or neutered. Thank you and goodnight.
Insanely difficult, it was, to
Favor any entries above all.
Really, Fug Nation, you're too
Excellent, erudite, and elegant for your own good.
At long last, we
Kinged five poems
In a long afternoon of reading and laughing at your
Nifty submissions, sharp and savage as a
Guillotine but without the messy cleanup.
Lewis, Juliette,
O mistress of nutballs,
Verily you bring us glee with your
Eccentric, eclectic
Yards of suffocating, swaddling fabric.
Obviously, we can't thank our
Unusually hilarious readers enough for making us
Giggle with their take on Juliette hiding
Under her curtain the color of shame.  We hope
You enjoy the finalists we chose, but you should go read them all, because
Such genius and wit from everyone deserves a moment in the sun.

THE FINALISTS:
After the jump.
It's your own fault, Fug Nation. You've proven so adept at every challenge we've thrown at you, we're going to get a little advanced on you this week. Yes, that's right. You heard me. It's time... for Juliette Lewis.

Remember, all submissions must be made in the comments section -- as in, NOT via e-mail -- by 10 p.m. California time on Sunday.

THE PICTURE

THE FUGEE
: Actress and wannabe rocker Juliette Lewis.

THE EXTRA DETAILS: Juliette, formerly the lead singer of Juliette and the Licks, now fronts a band called The New Romantiques. You may also remember her from the time she wore corn rows in her hair at the Oscars, back when she was dating Brad Pitt. We have an extensive archive of her past transgressions, some of which mention her magical song lyrics. In this photo, she's performing in Munich.

THE CHALLENGE
: Fug this outfit via an acrostic poem.  "What is an acrostic poem?" you may wonder. I'm so glad you asked. An acrostic poem is one in which the first letter or syllable of each line itself conveys a message or spells a relevant word. For instance, the obvious one here would be to write an eight-line poem in which the first letters of each line combine to spell JULIETTE (well, okay, the obvious one might be a ten-line poem where the first letter of each line combine to spell CRAZYPANTS, but whatever). Here are some examples of acrostic poems, which may be helpful to you in figuring out how you want to do this. You don't have to make yours as long as some of those are; they're just good showcases for the format. Consider it like sending a coded message through verse. So really, we're acting just like an episode of Alias. JUST LIKE IT. (Actually, if you read that Wikipedia page, you'll learn that last month, Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly used an acrostic to convey a rude message to the California State Assembly that rhymes with "Duck Fu." That is... hilarious.)

THE REMINDER
:

Can you guys
Remember to post
All entries by 10 p.m. Sunday in the
Zesty comments section?
You guys know the drill.
Please keep it clean
And in the vein of the site itself.
Now, go forth this Friday the 13th and
Totally kick the ass of this
Sad acrostic message.

Freaky Fug Friday: Winner

Congratulations to T Shadix, whose winning song parody of Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" earned 34 percent of the vote this week. We're having so much fun with these weekly contests, and we hope you are, too -- judging by the quality of the entries we're getting, you must be. So thank you!

And without further ado, the victorious caption:

"I Kissed A Girl/Missed the Wall"
 

This guy at Sears whose name was Stan
Sold me a Craftsman
I got so drunk, drill in hand
Lost my direction
It's not what, I aimed for
Just wanna hang a pic
I'm feeling blue 'cause I've
Drilled through my small intestine

I missed the wall and I'd like it
If you could call a medic
I missed the wall and my thigh's hit
I hope Sears will refund it
It felt so wrong
To drill so quite
Close to my innards tonight
I missed the wall, ow my right hip
My right hip.

-- T Shadix

See you on Friday with a new challenge.
Wow, this is the closest fug contest we've had yet: The leading reader song parody is only ahead by ten percent, and the others are all within one or two of each other. Since the post went up relatively late yesterday, we're going to keep voting open another day. So hop along to this post right here and revisit the brilliant parodies -- two "I Kissed A Girl" rewrites, a Perry Como song, and the "Super Bowl Shuffle" starring William "The Refrigerator" Perry -- and rock the poll with your opinion. The winner will be announced tomorrow. 
Yet another Freaky Fug Friday contest in which you all out-did yourselves. This week, the challenge was to take the picture of Ms Katy Perry below, and fug it in song. The catch? Whatever song you used had to be performed by Katy Perry, or any other Perry of note: Joe Perry, Steve Perry, etc.

Once again, it was crazy hard to choose our top options here, for REAL. Yet, those hard choices were made. PLEASE TO VOTE ON:

OPTION ONE, by Minutiae:

To the tune of the Chicago Bears' "Super Bowl Shuffle," featuring William "The Refrigerator" Perry:

Katy's queen of the Fugly Crew
Wearing swiss cheese just for you
This new one sure is intense
Blowing our minds with her fashion nonsense
We sure do like to snark on her
It's nice she provides such great fodder
She ain't here to start no trouble
She's just here to wear a moon crater ruffle

Her name is Katy
A rookie she's not
We see her on GFY a lot
She's worn muppets and rubber pants
And fuzzy dice on stage to dance
She has more tricks for us to view
A holey dress in a pumpkin hue
She ain't here to start no trouble
She's just here to wear a moon crater ruffle

OPTION TWO, by Sally Racket

Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" as Performed by Her Dress (Or, A Postmodern Cautionary Tale About the Potential Misunderstandings Engendered by Gaping Holes)

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so [ ], drink in hand
Lost my [ ]
It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna [ ] you [ ]
I'm [ ] for you
Caught my [ ]
I kissed a [ ] and I liked it

OPTION THREE: by Poltergasm

To the tune of Perry Como's "Accentuate the Positive"

"I've gotta accentuate the insanity
Cuddle close to tulle inanity
Russell Brand's my new calamity
I've got the good sense of a lima bean."

"I spread my joy WAY up to the maximum
Poppin' holes WAY up to my stern-i-um
Look close: see my vag-I-n-ium
Soon Russ'll have me having up fourteen"
{ed note: While he's the only guy upon the scene.
Sorry.}

("To illustrate my last remark
My Bible-toting parents spark,
Occasionally they even BARK, but
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?")

Man, they said we better
Accentuate salmon-effluvia
Plaster on the drip-mascaria
Chop holes from centrifug-ia
& Let her mess w/ always In-Between
Mess w/ Mister Meat who's In-Between
Chick on chick on chick, some not quite keen.
Genetics responsible for lima bean.
They learned from kissing girls
they wouldnt scream.
Just cut her clothes
til scarcely they'll be seen.

OPTION FOUR, by T Shadix

"I Kissed A Girl/Missed the Wall"

This guy at Sears whose name was Stan
Sold me a Craftsman
I got so drunk, drill in hand
Lost my direction
It's not what, I aimed for
Just wanna hang a pic
I'm feeling blue 'cause I've
Drilled through my small intestine

I missed the wall and I'd like it
If you could call a medic
I missed the wall and my thigh's hit
I hope Sears will refund it
It felt so wrong
To drill so quite
Close to my innards tonight
I missed the wall, ow my right hip
My right hip

"Could that skirt BE any cheesier?"

(Not technically a song and therefore ineligible for voting, but: funny. I can't resist a Chandler Bing reference)]

I hope you guys have been checking out the comments on these Freaky Fug Friday entries -- seriously, we always knew our readers were smart and funny, but y'all are blowing us away with the awesomeness of your contributions. Even though we weed through the submissions to pick our favorites, there is so much more awesome to be found, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't pore through as many of them as you can. Bravo, Fug Nation.

Onto this week's Freaky Fug Friday.

THE PICTURE:

92808263.jpg

THE FUGEE: Katy Perry, singer, kisser of girls for shock value and profit, girlfriend of British comedian Russell Brand.

THE CHALLENGE: Fug her through song. Pick a tune by any famous Perry -- Katy, Steve Perry, Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Perry Como, Perry Farrell, um... Perry... Mason -- and rewrite the lyrics to apply to this photo. You do NOT have to do the entire song -- just do enough that we get a sense of what you're parodying. Note: Include the name of the actual song in your entry. You know, just in case.

EXTRANEOUS DETAILS: Katy here is in the act of hosting the MTV European Music Awards, a night on which she wore several costumes, including the above.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Please keep your entry in the spirit of the site itself. We're pretty sure y'all know what that means.

Post your entries in the comments -- do not e-mail them to us, please! You have until Sunday night at 10 p.m. Pacific time. Per usual, the finalists will be put to a vote on Monday. Now go forth and compose!



Congratulations to OKCKate, this week's winner of Freaky Fug Friday and the author of your favorite limerick about Elen Rives. Her victorious lines were a relatively last-minute entry, and we're thrilled that her epiphany was so popular. Here it is, your winner, with 42 percent of the vote:

There once was a woman from Spain
Whose efforts to match went in vain.
So she tried to distract
With a coat made of cat.
Chica! Kitty and mink ain't the same!

-- OKC Kate

Congratulations again! We'll have a new challenge on Friday. Remember, if you want your entry to be credited a certain way (your full name, or, say, Barbara from Sioux Falls, or whatever), include that in the comment, or else we'll just go ahead and use your commenting handle. See you Friday! ... Well, except that I'll still be here the rest of the week doing other things, but you get what I mean. Right? Right.
Another week, another awesome passel of entries -- we got almost 700, and I've never been so happy to do work on a weekend as I was in sitting down to read through them. As usual, narrowing these down was brutal. But here are the four finalists for this week, in random order:

LIMERICK #1, by OKCKATE:

Chica! Kitty and mink ain't the same!

LIMERICK #2, by JEMI

A certain unknown WAG Latina
Wore "fur" in the fashion arena.
Paired grey woolly stockings
With golf shoes - how shocking!
Sanrio should serve a subpoena.

LIMERICK #3, by RACHEL

Let's all cut dear Elen a break
For her honest (if fugly) mistake:
It was near Halloween,
and she thought "Peachy keen!
What a lovely mall kiosk I'll make!"

LIMERICK #4, by KATIE C:

Kitty and Kermit were first
In this character-hunting outburst.
If PETA won't protest,
Then someone must be next.
Is Sesame Street on alert?

A book, huh? Is it just stuff you already put on the Web site?

Nope, we wrote the whole thing fresh, just for you.

Awesome. In that case, I want to read it!
