Ooh, Friday the 13th! I just noticed — nobody walk under a ladder today! And while you’re carefully not breaking mirrors, mayhap enjoy these:
First, some housekeeping: Are you having issues with ads scrolling all over the place on you? If you close the drop-down video in the header once, it should close it forever, and solve that problem. We have also asked that the video be less sensitive to your cursor, so please be patient while we work out the bugs. Thank you.
In more AMUSING topics, we’d still love to hear if you’d like us to come to your city with Spoiled (and give out OPI nail polish!) Speaking of Spoiled, the official publication date is still June 1st — when you will be able to find it at bookstores and Targets and Sam’s Clubs — BUT Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com are both shipping NOW if you really can’t wait. Whee! We love hearing from readers who’ve gotten their copies and who are enjoying the book and we hope you all LOVE IT.
– Also! A reminder that we’re still judging Piperlime’s Crimes of Fashion Facebook contest — you could win a $500 shopping spree! So check that out. (Facebook)
– Lainey’s coverage of Cannes has been totally fun. Also fun? How hilariously hideous Colin Farrell looks in Horrible Bosses. I kind of love Colin Farrell again. I think it started with In Bruges. No, I’m lying. It started when I saw a clip of his sex tape where he’s manning the camera and instead of getting all Sex Tape-y, he goes, quite genuinely, “GOD, I’m a TERRIBLE cinematographer.” (Lainey)
– Do you want to watch a montage of THE GREATEST MOVIE SANDWICHES? Yes. Yes, you do. I love the internet. (YouTube)
– You totally want to look at pictures of Jon Hamm, read about his night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (short version: Trump did NOT think everyone making fun of him was funny), and learn that he drinks cocktails of the neon variety. I’m always here for your Hamm needs. I seriously might see Bridesmaids now that I know he’s in it. (Celebitchy)
– Pictures of weird things – like poppies, and lychee nuts! — EXPLODING! (The Picture Show)
– Princess Beatrice is auctioning off her Royal Wedding Cracked Out Hat for UNICEF, which is very very awesome. (People)
– Thank God someone went to the work of compiling the 9 Most Absurd Storylines on One Tree Hill. The first is OBVIOUSLY when Dan’s heart gotten eaten by the dog. I’d argue that the time Dan ACCIDENTALLY SET HIS OWN BROTHER’S GRAVE ON FIRE also ranks. Especially since he also MURDERED that brother. GOD, that show used to be SO GOOD. (Crushable)
– Hope you’ve been grooming your facial hair! It’s time for the WORLD BEARD AND MUSTACHE CONTEST. These dudes are awesome. And hirsute. And awesomely hirsute. (CNN)

I’m so proud of myself. When I saw that sandwich video, I just knew my favorite bloggers would love it. I’m glad I sent it to you, ’cause having it posted on Fugs and Pieces makes me feel all smart and important.
WHY HAVE I NEVER WATCHED ONE TREE HILL!?
Aw, I love you. Thanks for the help with the Tresemme video.
And, your book came today and I forsee happy hours ahead with it, very soon! Hurrah!
What should we do if the close button in the video header doesn’t work? I can see the close button, but nothing happens when I click on it.
OMG, I first read “poppies” as “puppies” and was greatly disturbed.
TG, please email us and we’ll see if we can help you out — we need more deets from you, to get out tech dudes to solve that issue. fuggingitup AT gmail.com.
Yeah, that OTH list is definitely missing Dan setting the grave on fire. That whole episode is one of my favorites of all time. Later on, he brings this paper bag (in which you think he has stored a gun) over to the girl’s house who saw him kill his brother, but instead it’s a STUFFED ANIMAL. And he GIVES IT TO THE GIRL. It’s freaking incredible.
I’m in the same boat as TG — didn’t use to be a problem, but now definitely is! Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Using a 1 year old Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.7) and Firefox 4.0.1 if that helps!
you should definitely check this out. hint: kaiser + famous god-denying mustachioed german philosopher = ?!?
agh! sorry, html tag didn’t work. here’s what you should check out:

Please come to Oakland (or anywhere in the Bay Area, really). Please?
That movie sandwich video is the DEAL!!!
Thank you.
Spanglish sandwich FTW.
I was okay with OTH despite all the ridiculous plotlines until the show was suddenly about everyone wanting to be pregnant, which is cool, but dude! But I will still persevere and watch until it’s over-over. I won’t be surprised if CW decides to renew it for one final season.
Saw Bridesmaids at a sneak on Wednesday, and it was surprisingly REALLY good. It was not Hangover for Ovaries, as I had suspected. A good classic chick flick with an Apatow twist.
Just pre-ordered SPOILED! Can’t wait to devour it along with a bottle (or two) of wine
Please come to Chicago! I know it’s a bit of a jaunt for you lovelies, but you’ve got a lot of fans here.
I’m with TG – my mouse doesn’t activate when I hover over the X. More deets via email…
I just saw Bridesmaids and Jon Hamm was so, so awful (in a good way). I highly recommend it.
For the last few days when I type in your address or click on my bookmark of your site it says “Welcome to nginx!” It also did it when I tried to get to the home page from the link that I clicked on to get here.
same here with the treseme ads. i click on it and it doesn’t close. i always felt bad for wanting to bring it up, because hey, it’s what keeps the lights on and i felt like an ingrate, but it was astonishingly annoying. thanks y’all.
Just wanted to tell you two that I work for a university library, and I’m in the group that picks the books for our browsing collection. I just added Spoiled to our wish list. Can’t wait to see it!
YAY! Thank you!
Never worry about letting us know if there’s an issue with the ads — if we can fix it, we will. Sadly, they are a fact of life, but we want to keep the annoyance to a minimum, you know?
If you’re getting the nginx thing, clearing your cache will fix that right up!
haha – I now feel really bad about bitching about the Tresemme thing. My complaint made fugs and pieces!
Hopefully I wasn’t the only one. Though, I’m really thoroughly enjoying catching up today with the SKYY vodka advert 
mmmm, vodka 
PLEASE, PLEASE, PUH-LEASE tell me you fine ladies are watching the Eurovision contest! It is a planet all in its own right, sort of…. I know Europe is not a planet, duh, but this contest with its´ announcers, narrators, participants, music and costumes is FugHeaven!
Bridesmaids is amazing. It has like a 90 percent rating on rottentomatoes.com, and is completely watchable. Also, it was written by two outstanding women (SNL’s Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo of the groundlings). This isn’t a typical Apatow movie, simply because it is written and carried by a horde of awesome women.
John Hamm may be a reason to watch, but there are plenty of better ones!
UHHHH go see bridesmaids because some really fucking funny women wrote it! I laughed so hard I choked on my own spit!
Funny Lady Solidarity!
Dear Fug-Girls! Please don’t forget to cover the Eurovision Songcontest!
http://orf.at/stories/2058424/2058379/
even so this year it was wardrobewise less insane (on the large scale of Songcontests)
but there where dwarfs (Moldavia), a jumpsuit (Germany) and angel wings (ukraine) not to forget Ireland…. ENJOY!!
BTW: the music totally improved over the years (or I’m getting older….) Aserbaidschan was really nice, I also liked Hungary (very 90ies Dance Floor) and some nice voices with boring songs as well…. Austria, Swiss and France for example…..
I pre-ordered Spoiled on Amazon and read it last night–awesome! So many questions! Were Jessica/Jake inspired by Sweet Valley? Is Brick’s voice a distant descendant of Karl’s for the website? Can Charmaine be my Get-a-Grip Friend? Love it. Congrats! Come to KC anytime, you want to hook up with Rainy Day Books, they host all the authors here and get you on our local NPR affiliate. Which might mean my head would explode. Love the line in the book about NPR, too;)
Thank you so much! That is so nice to hear — I’m so glad everyone is liking it so far!!
We definitely were somewhat inspired by SVH, but I always tell people that I think it’s MOST influenced by Clueless.
I would like to thank you for your continued appreciation of OTH. It warms my heart to know that I am not alone in this absurd obsession.
