Sweet Baby Jesus, What A Trip

My LORD, it was quite the adventure getting home for the holidays, but more on that later.....MUCH more.

I hope everyone had a Happy XmaHanaKwaanz.

IN FIVE DAYS?!?!

As I wandered around the neighborhood to do some much needed holiday shopping, it just seemed to me to not be 5 days before Christmas. I don't know why I say that. It just doesn't seem like it's time. I think part of it is I haven't been bombarded with television commercials and songs this year. I haven't been watching a lot of TV in the past couple of months, so it makes sense. Yes, I saw the decorations go up in October. It is apparently all confusing to me as I write this.

But I'm heading to Michigan soon to visit the family.

So I guess it's official. It's Christmas in 5 days.

*sigh* But.....I'm not ready........oh well.........

Happy Holidays everybody...............

I Was Wondering That Too

Just sent to me by a co-worker (where he got it, I don't know)

Questions That I Have for the Secret Service

1. Shouldn't you have jumped in front of that shoe?
2. Shouldn't you have jumped in front of that second shoe?
3. Second shoe = the one thrown after being removed from foot after first shoe was thrown.
4. Let's say people had three feet. Would you have allowed a third shoe to fly unimpeded?
5. While the shoe was in the air, were you like, "Oh, its just a shoe."
6. Same question about the second shoe.
7. Do you think this is funny, "Throw a shoe at me once, shame on--you. Throw a shoe--you throw a shoe, you can't throw a shoe again."
8. Is there not "protection training" for lunatics launching objects?
9. Let's say there isn't training for that--but do they tell you that if someone does throw (or shoot) something to be on the alert in case they want to repeat this behavior?
10. Where were you?

BONUS QUESTION: Do you think the Iraqis want us there? (Hint: their journalists are throwing their shoes at Bush)

Co-worker's response:

All those questions are quite relevant and it should also have a question about a possible new instructional film for their agents made by oliver stone that will now say "down and to the left" to follow their one that says "back and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left, bacckkkk……………and to the left..."

VERY Good Choice

So OUT magazine told me that one of the most interesting people of 2008 was someone named Sam Sparro. I had no clue as to who he was. But, hey, if OUT says I should know who he is, I guess I need to check him out. So I went to Itunes, listened to some snippets, then went to You Tube.

Oh my. Cute. Gay. Great singer.

I bought the album right after that.

I can't embed the songs because they've been disabled on You Tube. Get there and watch BLACK AND GOLD and 21ST CENTURY LIFE.

Please enjoy.

Did I Do That?

The office Christmas party starts in 45 minutes.

Last year, it took most of the staff to present a piece of the "memory" puzzle from the latter half of the festivities.

Man. It was crazy.

But understandable. Do not mix lots of booze with fondue. It just doesn't add up...

We shall see what happens this year.

Maybe I'll go home with a waiter.

Yeah, right. And pigs will fly out of my ass.

"I'm Serious!"

Hysterical.

*Shudders*

This just gave me the chills.

Good luck with that...............

Don't.......Say........It.......

I heard on the train this morning:

"Wow......cold enough for ya?"

Every time I hear that, I'm reminded of a bit comedian Steve Sweeney did on a Cam Neely/Denis Leary comedy special.

Of course I can't find it on You Tube.

But it involves testicles, and it's funny.

Trust me.

I'm also reminded I want to smack people who say that........

Not Just Today......

......but every day.
