I don't want you here/ I just wanna dance

At Kroger yesterday, "Hey Ya" was playing over the PA system while I stood in line at the pharmacy. I was tapping my heel along with the beat to keep from breaking out in a full dance and shaking it like a Polaroid picture in the pharmacy line. An old man walked up, cut in front of the family behind me and tried to make conversation by saying, "Boy, this really treads the line between music and noise, huh?" I sneered and scoffed and turned my back on him, so he tried the same opening line on the mother behind me who clearly also did not agree with him but was more polite about it. I don't regret sneering; I only regret that all I did was sneer. I feel as though I have not sufficiently defended my former ringtone's honor.

So just try me again, Old Dude at the Pharmacy, and I will be prepared with some really snappy comeback like, "NO, YOU SOUND LIKE NOISE, OLD MAN!"

Oink oink, baby

It's just a little airborne!  It's still good!Swine flu is running rampant in these parts, so I went to the grocery store and bought a bag of apples, because an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Unfortunately, when I went to bite into the first apple, I remembered that in cartoons, pigs are always depicted with an apple in their mouth. So I'm back to square one, and completely confused as to whether apples turn you into a pig or prevent you from becoming one.

I should probably not base all of my medical and/or life decisions on proverbs and cartoons.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo... doo doo doo doo DOO dah-dah-dah-dah-dah doo doo doo doo doo doo doo... DAH dah dah dah dah... dah.. dah (bum bum)

It is my birthday month, and all I want for my birthday is my two front teeth Jeopardy! questions. All of you out there are knowledgeable about subjects that I am not (military history, astronomy, fly fishing, NASCAR, Canada, chickens, classic literature, religion, presidential trivia, Native American history, sports, Germany and, well, just about ANYTHING, really). So if you could send me factoids or questions-in-the-form-of-an-answer, I would appreciate it! You can all contribute to my Jeopardy! studying and maybe you can all be part of my Fascinating Introduction Story if I make it on the show.

I will accept factoids and questions-in-the-form-of-an-answer via:

  • blog comments
  • tweets
  • flashcards sent via snail mail
  • flashcards handed to me in person
  • scribblings in a birthday card
  • letters cut out of magazines and pasted together, ransom-note style
  • engravings on stone tablets
  • pretty much anything else you can think of

I have a fascinating/terrifying prize to send through the mail to the person whose factoid/question-answer amuses or fascinates me most.

Thank you and happy birthday to me!
