I just do what the little voices tell me to do. ROTFLMAO!!!!
I’ve been lasping into Bush-talk these past few days. It’s freaking scary LOL
you mean half words and Disconnected phrases that mean nothing?
I mean I mean what I meant to mean to begin with but I didn’t mean it and now I’m not sure what I meant . 🙂
I’ve also been using “fine charachter” and “my fellow American” alot LOL ACK
Have you started reading books upside down yet?
And remember kids: Just because the voices don’t exist, doesn’t mean they don’t have good ideas.
who said they didn’t exist? LOL
A different set of voices that doesn’t exist either. Gee, do I have to explain everything?
Just a little while till happy hour….
Well it is 4:30 somewhere in the world. 🙂
Meant to add, See we’re late.
Sadly 4:20 can get a person Ten to Life.
But Bush can snort coke… Why isn’t his ass in jail?? He’s admitted to doing DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ain’t that thar a crime??
LEGALIZE IT. Rec and Med.
DJ, just wanted to say howdy. Hope you are doing well.
Doggie
p.s. The crumb catcher is gone
Remember, when you go on drinking binges – make sure to always always RECYCLE 🙂
Did someone mention jello shot?
I know…you were just picking up supplies to make Jello shots this weekend… 😉
One of my little secrets came out I see.
Nice thing about living in the city— everything is “in town” 🙂 I love living here 🙂 I’ve been in and out, out and in all day.
Hey Cali, I left you some Slap Shot type cake for you elsewhere 🙂
Yea, but it take all the joy or looking forward to just going to a large store or restruant out of it. Imagine being faced with Mickey D’s and KFC all in one place. It boggles the mind. 🙂
We have great restaurants here 🙂 And this area has everyting but doesn’t have that strip mall feel to it.
Nowadays just looking at McDonalds or KFC gives the kids the runs. None of us can eat at KFC… gives us all tummy cramps.
Found a cool alternative for the kids drive by cravings.. Burgerville. They use co-op local beef for their burgers and none of us have gotten “sicky” yet. It’s okay for a “treat”.
You’re in Alabama?? Iknow how to make Alabama Slammers.. errr I have it written down somewhere. Two of those and I’m laying on the couch LOL
I’ve never had one. But, I’ll take 2 or 22 of whatever ya got.
Yeah, but remember, for every KFC or McJoint there’s a Michoacan Mexican Food or Dick’s Drive-In or Mom’s Diner. You only have to settle for mediocrity if that’s what you want.
(I almost put “For every KFC or McJoint there’s a Jack-In-The-Box or a Taco Bell” but thought better of it.)
Kids will surprise you with their good taste and great decisions when they are just given the opportunity.
Neither of my kids have wanted potato chips since we’ve discovered this great little confectionary at the organic store. Hell, sometimes they can’t even finish the goodie in one setting. To them that’s more of a treat. Instant gratification OR wait for something that’ll knock yer socks off Or those Jambo juice joints.
Taco Smell.. ew.
Too many calories — got any Jello shots with sugar-free Jello? 😉
Cali after enough shots you won’t worry about the calories. Plus the great extra added benefit is probably tomorrow with the worlds worst hangover you won’t worry about it either. Two full days of calorie free bliss. Well maybe not the second one. 🙂
can be burned at the rate of 1,000 per second simply just by … farting…. thinking of moving… thinking of moving and farting…
🙂
If you’re thinking of farting, I’m thinking of moving….waaaaaaay over here.
Consider it sharing body heat 🙂
Believe me, living with 3 or 4 boys I have enough body heat.
Aw, no — I saw what happened yesterday.
Okay you can have all the gummi worms I was going to put in the tequila jello shots : )
Hey, caffeine is a psychoactive medication!
Love the Madness poster. 🙂
Sadly I’ve given that up too. There no joy in Mudville tonight.
Mighty Courtney Beauregard has struck out. Nah, that doesn’t fit.
What do you do for fun now, Family Man, now that you’ve given up all of your vices?
I thought once you gave up all the vices you weren’t supposed to have fun. Oh you know, I rake the yard.
That’s why you should always keep one or two vices. I need to pick up some new ones, the old one’s are no fun anymore.
Not if you keep doing them right.
The wonders of the internet. I just found an old friend I had lost contact with about 16 years ago. I found him and his family about 2 months ago. He’s dropping by here on his home from FL. to MI. It will be something to see how we’ve aged.
Hey, that’s cool! There are a few women I’d like to reconnect with from high school, but it’s so hard with marriages and name changes to find them.
Actually I found him through his wifes name on the internet. She’s a teacher at a university and after goggling his name and not finding anything I goggled her name and there it was.
I believe the Indy has volunteered to help you work on that.
If I ever need a replacement for slothfulness I’ll give her a call.
jeez, with that kind of attitude, how will you ever develop a really good set of vices.
Hey Andi got you vision back yet?
As much as I’m going to. I don’t think I’ve ever had the blurriness last that long. Probably another sign of age. Good thing for all those poor schmucks (not putzes) on the road that I know the way home so well I don’t need to see it clearly.
Another sign of age. I couldn’t get over it at 40 having to have bi-focals. I’m just hoping when I hit 60 they have developed new eye replacements.
beat ya’ — got mine at 39.
Just have to be competitive don’t cha. 🙂
I probably beat you on number of years wearing them since I started wearing glasses at 6.
WHat about Lasik surgery? I’ve been wanting my husband to consider that since I think he looks way sexy without his geeky, engineer coke-bottle glasses.
But then he’d see what I really look like first thing in the morning, so maybe having the glasses 10 steps away is a good thing.
My brother-in-law had catarac surgery long ago. When the bandages were finally taken off and he saw my sister, the first thing out of his mouth was “Damn I never noticed all those wrinkles”. Needless to say I think she would have perfered him blind at that time.
Ok, that made me laugh right out loud. He sure has a way with words! Did your sister smack him?
No they had that kind of relationship. She just busted up laughing. She told me later that she told him to go look in the mirror himself. Put him in his place I’ll tell ya what.
I’ve always had perfect vision, and right around my 40th birthday I noticed that medicine labels were much much smaller than they used to be, and menus were almost unreadable anymore. I really thought the print was getting smaller! I look back fondly to when I was the one little old ladies would ask to read the labels for them in the grocery store. Now it’s me.
even though I am an old geezer that won’t be me — I carry a little geologist’s hand lens magnifier.
I guess I’m going to have to toss out vanity and wear some spectacles around my neck on a gaudy chain, dye my hair bluish white, and go out to dinner at 4:30. Oh, and drive a tan Buick in the fast line with my left turn signal on all the time.
So that was you I had to pass on the right today?
Could be, Family Man. Did you get your errands done?
You could always be like my 84 year old mother and drive a spiffy chevy malibu, speed like a 16 year old boy, and snarl at anyone who gets in her way.
i would definitely give you mother the right of way.
Reminds me of that parking lot scene in Fried Green Tomatoes where she bashes into the young dude’s car in the parking lot and says something like, “I’m old, and I have more insurance.”
I love that scene…
I think my mother thinks “I’m old and there’s nothing you can do to me so I might as well do whatever I want.”
As the old saying goes, if you give up smoking, drinking, sex and good food, you won’t live longer, but it will sure seem like it.
I was watching a show once and they asked what you would do if you only had six months to live. One guy said “I’d go live with my mother in law, cause it would seem like the longest six months of my life.”
ROTFLMAO!!!!! I guess I would have to move in with my sister-in-law.
Give up … coffeee?? OMFG!!! Horrors!!!!
After I gave up smokes (uh the first time) a doctor suggested I quit my espesso… I suggested he should shut the fuck up. 🙂
I tell them that about the cigs and coffee. I usually list all the things I have given up already and say I have to have some vices. LOL
Let the (mild) intoxication begin.
I bow at your feet and will most happily carry out this decree.
that says
One day I came back from lunch and there was a Post-It note on the sign that said “The voices in your neighbors’ heads thank you.” I have odd co-workers.
Too damn funny!!! Can I steal it?? 🙂
Danni put up a note on her bedroom door that had
DON’T DISTRUB
so I added
any further
Steal with pride. You’ll be carrying on a tradition. I stole it from someone else.
Oh and as for doctoring your daughter’s sign: You’re an evil mom. I approve.
Yesterday while at the eye docs for her… we were telling her that if her eyes were really healthy that this particular office had “Live Donor” policies and would scoop out her perfect baby-blues so that another with bad eyesight could see. That the eye doc had a magic spoon to scoop em out with.
Of course, I had just seen the doc outside with a cup of yogurt and a spoon so when she walked in… Danni’s eyes got reallllllllllllllllll big 🙂 But she digs on it you know. We had the eye doc in stitches. 🙂
I was very proud though when the doc asked my daughter if she had anything to tell her about her eyes (meaning do you have any problems reading… etc etc) Danni proudly said that she can make a great hairyeyeball slug face. And proceeded to share with the doc all her nasty eye distortion faces LOL
ROFL . . . now THAT is funny. Our family does stuff like that all the time. It’s gotten so my granddaughter doesn’t believe most of what I tell her, which is probably a good thing.
She gives it back, though. A couple of years ago she was bragging about how she was going to turn 7 soon.
“Nope,” I said.
“Yes I am,” she told me.
“Hope,” I said. “Not this year. I got a letter from the President that says that six-year-olds don’t get birthdays this year. It’s some kind of cost-cutting thing.”
I have no idea if she even knew what a President was, but she came right back with, “Well, I got a letter from the President that says that grandpas who don’t let their little girls have birthdays can’t have birthdays either.”
I demanded she show me her letter, which she refused to do, saying it was in her desk at school. What could I do? I’d been outflanked. I was so proud.
Bullshit 101 🙂
My grandpa had me believing that black and white cows were only for milk and the brown ones were for meat. I was 16 and saw some farm with BOTH and I thought, “what a dumbass mixing up his cows like that”. My mom about swerved offf the road when I told her what her Dad had me believing. ACK 🙂
My daughter can dish it out too. 🙂
We do have to be careful around her big brother as he has a hard time with just idioms. You got ants in yer pants?? I asked him once and that still has him shaken up and still to this day I can catch him shaking out his pants before he puts them on.
Way off topic — sort of — but you made think of another problem with idioms. I was over at a customer site in Germany where they all spoke excellent English so I got kind of casual with my language. The other American and I were in a meeting with a German and I said something to her about “beating around the bush” and the German guy got really embarrassed. He was even more embarrassed after we explained the phrase to him.
A friend of mine from the UK who also enjoys soccer… aka football… had to explain to me that my use of the word “root” as in “rooting for Manchester” meant something else to him. Root is basically the slang for “fucking”.
Idioms and autism… I love playing with words but I have to be super careful around Wesley. Just regular phrases can get ya in trouble with a kid who bases everything in terms of concrete rather than abstracts. “Give me a minute ” or “Just a minute” can really be a pain in the ass to live down after saying 🙂
If I could root “for” the team I might get into sports. LOL
OMG did all our framilies train together. My mom use to pull crap like that on me all the time and as I got older I started doing it to her. I called from a ski trip to wish her happy birthday and told her I was in the hospital with two broken legs.
Sent her a card when my flight to London got diverted to Germany due to fog saying we had been hijacked.
I also sent her a picture of me and a drag queen you could not tell was a drag queen and told her I had decided I was straight after all. LOL
My daughter and I can both sing every song on Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The Mr. Took me to go see it live in San Francisco and both kids were totally cheesed they didn’t get to go cause we ALL love Hedwig.
BTW The Mr was totally hit on my Hedwig (Kevin Calhoun) we were second row front and center.
Oops I meant Kevin Cahoon. He was great. So close, his sweat was dripping on us.
Pssst I do a great Sugar Daddy : )
I was just mentioning this to my husband… and he reminded me- “queens have always liked you)”… even one workplace (A Las Vegas type show on Guam) I’d do favors for the dancers… like type their letters for them and stuff. GREAT PARTIES!!! OMFG!
LOL We do love our straight women friends
There is no such thing as a 100% straight anything 🙂
It’s impossible 🙂
LOL
LOL I love it!!!!
My favorite Despair poster is
Meetings: Because none of us is as dumb as all of us
My favorite, because I’m a Linuxhead, shows a penguin waddling off into the distance. The caption reads
It just works on so many levels.
Here is one of my favorites
while I’m posting about organic food and good choices… and spouting off about Jello and booze LOL
Boran’s Update Diary on food labeling fight
Who’s up for a virtual food fight?
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT I’m a zit! (great movie scene of Belushi in Animal House. I start cracking up just watching him put all that food on his tray and pants… 🙂 )
A friend told me that there are clubs where adults pay to have food fights or to “SIT” on food like cheesecake.
Here I am trying to be all healthy, make healthy/political choices and I’m dancing around with jello and alcohol. Moderation I guess 🙂
Moderation – We don’t need no Stinking Moderation!
Here’s a big 3 week old cabbage back at ya!
Yes Mam. Moderation in all things. Shooters, did I hear Shooters?
You sure that isn’t a Texas barbque?
Elephant Enema or Mammoth HUman Tampon instead of BBQ 🙂
Man o’ man, I’m reading my brother’s article in Foreign Policy and I come across this doozy of a sentence. I can’t imagine what would happen to me if I wrote it here.
You would probably have a few things forceably taken from you and end up being Boo — I think eunuch is the term.
He might have a few things forceably ADDED to him as well.
I’m completely staying away from this one. Booman you better defend yourself.
WHy don’t you live dangerously and find out?
I don’t think so.
I think he is right though. The future belongs to people that have 3 or more children, and people that have 3 or more children are way more patriarchial in their outlook than people that do not. And they pass those values down to their kids.
Maybe the progressive era is coming to an end because of these basic demographics. I’ll have to think about it. My brother’s stuff always scares the crap out of me.
Not to jump on you or anything, but I have four children, and I can’t think of anyone who has a LESS patriarchial outlook than I do.
I know, to be precise, people that have 3 or more children are statistically more patriarchal than people that do not.
He has the stats to prove it.
Progressives are being outbred 3-1.
Well, I’m doing my part BooMan. The rest of you need to get to work this very night and start to procreate.
Might be because republicans procreate whereas Liberals tend to know how to have safer sex so they can have lots of it… 🙂
Now all your brother has to do is to explain where we feminists with 50’s mothers came from. The idea that we only get our ideas from our parents suggests he thinks we are being raised in skinner boxes.
And the fewer children you have, the more likely you are to be able to inculcate them with your beliefs. Just how much time do you think parents with large families get to spend with each kid.
He attempts to tackle that at the end. What about generations that rebel against their parents?
And to be fair to my brother, he is a demographer. He is only describing what he sees. He is not in favor of patriarchy. He is warning us.
He’s not describing; he’s predicting and doing it based on his own prejudices.
true.
But I think his prejudice (bias, really) is that values are transmitted mostly through parent-to-child and through economic incentives. Now, when I argue with him about this things I don’t deny his data and where the data points, but I question how powerful his explanatory model is.
He is not arguing from ‘rights’ or what is good or what is desireable. He is arguing that ideas propogate the same way that people do, through the birth of children that are raised with those ideas.
And taking all exceptions and caveats into account, statistically speaking, the fact that religiously conservative people are vastly outbreeding moderates does not bode well for moderate values and principles.
It’s at least worth thinking about.
Again, it isn’t true that this only way — or even the main way that children get their ideas. We aren’t raised in skinner boxes; we are exposed to a larger world. We get are beliefs from many places. What’s more I think your brother does have a prejudice in that he seems to think that non-white immigrants can’t and won’t gain more progressive attitudes as they assimilate into their new culture.
But here’s a fact that argues against your brother’s theory — every survey I’ve ever seen shows the younger one is the more open one is to the idea of same sex marriage.
Okay, it’s time for the Friday night brain shutdown. I’m through being thoughtful.
But make it a banana SHIT cream pie 😛
Lounge now open!
