Scanner Highs and Lows: That Was Then and This is Now

Posted by Emily Farris

 

But now that we've had some distance, we can finally look back on what you may have missed while you were busy jerking off to old pictures of Cloris Leachman.

Highs:

We learned that Roseanne was a Riot Grrrl (sort-of) and wished we would have been cool enough to appreciate it back then.

We celebrated National Cleavage Day by looking back at some of our favorite boob stories

We brought back our old friend Marry, Fuck or Kill. This time it was a sexy doctor edition.

Iowa—IOWA!—legalized gay marriage.

And this gay bishop made us almost appreciate religion again. Almost. 

Scanner Brian gave into the goodness of TV. Sort of. (Boner!)

Scanner Colleen told those mother fuckers what's up. Sort of.

And we told those dumb ass publicists what's up

And we called out some other assholes, just for the hell of it.

We decided we want to be just like Cloris Leachman when we grow up (except we'll eat meat).

On the way to being like Cloris maybe we'll make a little stop in Isabella Rossellini land.

Lows:

We begged for your help. More than once. (P.S. We are still begging for your help.)

We watched a very strange commercial, indeed. One that perpetuated the myth that Asians have very little pubic hair. 

We figured out what we want for Christmas.

We felt a little bad for Marisa Tomei.

Scanner Ina tried out Omegle. We did not learn from her mistake.

Scanner Brian made our vaginas hurt. No, not like that, you perverts!

We felt really old when we were reminded it's been 15 years since Kurt Cobain died. 

We refused to participate in April Fool's Day. Apparently we were the only ones.

We wondered why Girl Scout Cookies are so damn inaccessible

And this was probably our favorite story of the week. Sham! Wow!
