You: gorgeous with blue eyes. Me: in your dumpster. -w4m

"You're hot. I mean, one of the hottest guys I've seen in Portland, easily. If you'd found me on a fun night out, when I'd had a few drinks in me and a lot more makeup on me, I'd have marched right up to you and told you so. But alas, dear missed connection, you found me in the trash.

I thought about asking if your pet died, but the socially conscious portions of my brain told me that would be a bad idea. Maybe your pet was the cricket? I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm willing to comfort you with open legs.

Also, I found a cup containing $9. Buy you a drink?"

The Funniest Moments From the White House Correspondents' Dinners Past

The 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner is this weekend, and POPSUGAR will be reporting on the weekend from DC.

The 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner is this weekend, and POPSUGAR will be reporting on the weekend from DC. Before then, we can't help but take the opportunity to look back at the funniest moments from past dinners. That's because the event is a time for presidents and hosts (read: comedians) to let loose and take jabs at one another and the members of the media in the audience.

The first dinner took place back in 1920 and has risen in fun-factor in more recent years. We're talking about George W. Bush standing next to an impersonator and Obama referencing the Texts From Hillary meme. We can't help but get excited about what stops Conan O'Brien, this year's host, will pull out. Until then, get laughing with these memorable YouTube clips!
