    Fave Musician in Town

    Filed under: funstuff; Tagged as: ,

    One of my Fave Musicians is in town this weekend. And No, I don’t have Tickets either. I never put them on my wish list so they never magically appeared. Here’s some of my fave lyrics:

    Upgrade my system at least twice a day
    I’m strictly plug-and-play, I ain’t afraid of Y2K
    I’m down with Bill Gates, I call him “Money” for short
    I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
    ****************
    And I forgot the next verse
    Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
    The lyric sheet’s so hard to find
    What are the words, oh nevermind
    Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, ooh no
    Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know…
    ****************
    It’s Christmas at ground zero
    And if the radiation level’s okay
    I’ll go out with you and see all the new
    Mutations on New Year’s Day
    ****************
    I’m the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
    On my knees day and night scorin’ points for the afterlife
    So don’t be vain and don’t be whiny
    Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your hiney
    ****************
    And I was singin’
    My my this here Anakin guy
    May be Vader someday later
    Now he’s just a small fry
    ****************
    Don’t play that song
    That “Achy Breaky” song
    The most annoying song I know
    And if you play that song
    That “Achy Breaky” song
    I might blow up my radio, oooh…
    ****************
    Elmo’s got gun, Elmo’s got a gun.
    Big bird’s on the run.
    Bernie’s dialin’ 911.
    ****************
    Don’t change the channel
    Don’t touch that dial
    We got it all on UHF
    Kick off your sneakers
    Stick around for a while
    We got it all on UHF

    And if you are still clueless it’s Weird Al Yankovic. He’s here in Knoxville this weekend at the Tennessee Theatre

    Halloween in July

    Filed under: funstuff; Tagged as: ,

    There’s the sales that stores put out there to get people off the water and into the stores, the Christmas in July Sales… mainly because there’s not much else to use as a catalyst for sales in between 4th of July (not a big Sales Weekend) and Back to School (which varies from school & state).

    So the other day, My Lovely and Talented Wife colored my hair. Well, more specifically she added some highlights to my hair. As I was really bored waiting for the whole process to start, I messed around with my hair and came up with a great Halloween costume. After all, It’s only 104 days (as of the posting of this post) until the Day of Free Candy.

    with slightly minor photo-editing, I present a candidate for employment at Wonka this year’s Halloween costume:

    Once Again

    Filed under: General; Tagged as:

    Seems that I have not really had any content in this blog in a while and I can tell because my hits and comments reflect it. I might have to resort to some crazy blog marketing such as Cynical Dad’s very popular Chag Libs or the overly redundant “How-Did-People-Find-This-Blog” (which I have done in the past).

    SO while you are waiting here in orbit, I have a pictorial post here. Come with me for a short excursion on my shopping trip last night:

    For wookies

    I wonder how soon this is going to be on clearance? Can we say “Razor… on a stick”? Wow, there is so many directions I could take with this thing. I mean, “essential” or “do it yourself”… come on. And did you see how “BIG” the razor is… it’s just a beard trimmer on a stick. What do you do if you’re say, a werewolf or a wookie?

    I wonder if this just endorses the Man Groomer?

    Go Irish!

    Get yours now for $39.99

    ********************

    What do you get when cross the Fashion Sense of Freddy Krueger?

    Freddy

    Mixed with uber coolness of Indiana Jones?

    Jones

    I didn’t know either:

    f3dora

    (ignore the display in the background)

    *********************

    So… what do you get when you take George Clooney

    Clooney
    and toss in a little Brad Pitt?

    Pitt

    It’s not Ocean’s Fourteen…

    Something much funnier goofier

    flat hat

    okay, enough torture, that’s all I got… for NOW! MUHAHAHAHA

    Vocabulary

    Filed under: funstuff; Tagged as: ,

    Now, I would imagine that most people would rather have sharp sticks poked in their eyes than go through a vocabulary quiz. Especially some of us who have been out of school for an extended length of time. However, if you don’t use your brain, you’ll lose it. That’s why I think it’s important to participate in Recreational Mathematics. Thanks to Sam I Am, here is way that you can participate in, uh, Recreational Spelling. And, it’s for a good cause. Well, it’s a good cause if you don’t like hunger, famine and death.

    So really, this is just a “Brains for Food” Marketing ploy, sounds like the works of zombies to me… good work though.

    1) As a child, when I said ‘Yes’, I always said “Yeah, that my talkin’ I like my say”

    2) I thought that when I first got to Grad School that I should start drinking coffee, because all grad students did was read and drink coffee

    3) I’ve never broken a bone

    4) My First Beer was a warm Budweiser, My first legal beer was a St. Pauli’s Girl

    5) So far, every country or place out side of the U.S. I have had the local beer/ micro brew

    I’m not going to tag 5 more people but feel free to play, if you want to, so consider yourself tagged.

    Filed under: funstuff; Tagged as: ,

    I got tagged from on-again-off-again blogger chick Sam I Am over at Musings from a Rambling Mind. So I thought that I would go head and get the tag… which reminds me that I totally screwed Roon out of his tag from a while back… okay, that’ll come up soon too (Sorry!)

    From Sam:THE RULES:

    1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.

    2. Post THE RULES on your blog.

    5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

    My Seven Weird and/or Random Facts:

    1) I have a wax mold of my hand when I was 15. I immersed my hand multiple times in hot wax (ruined the pan) and have a replica of my hand some 21 years ago.

    2) Had I been a girl, my name would have been Robin Lynn.

    3) I have 3 college degrees.

    4) My graduating High School class was 42 people. I’ve kept in contact with 2 of them (although, I would love to hear from more of them).

    5) Longest I ever stayed awake consecutively was 38 hours, back in Grad School at UVa in 1994

    6) I once literally caught a fish when it jumped out of the lake into our paddle boat

    spam

    Do they think that I am Dumb or Dumber that I would actually believe that their Thursday naked Photo was really posted. I mean really, they didn’t even include a link! I think they might be Blonderer… (no offense to Blondes out there… you all have more fun and have a ton more jokes)
