Say wha?

I don't know if Blogger readers ever noticed, but there's a link on every blog that leads to the writer's profile. And within the profile, there's a feature that generates random questions or comments such as the one that has been on mine for months: Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?

The writer is prompted to provide a response. Mine for the dog and turtle show was, "We're all naked when we expose our souls."

Whatever that's supposed to mean, I'm not even sure.

So I decided to update my profile's random jibberish. The feature's addictive. I clicked through 13 before I came to The One. The rejects:

When you spilled the milk, did it look like the moon?

Create a tagline for a new line of plastic bedsheets.

If there's no "I" in team, why is there meat?

You're in the grocery store with a broken cart. How will you ever be that hungry?

Foxes are clever and tigers are cunning. So, what's your cat's safety school?

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

If you drive on a parkway why don't they make the whole plane out of that?

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

How tall would you be if you had never cut your fingernails?

Your pajamas have duckies on them. Why did you switch from choo-choos?

When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?

Here was my winner:

If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?
I ate his liver wearing some Levi Jeans and a nice thong panty

Silence of the Lambs fans...you'll get that reference. Everyone else thinks I'm a freak right about now.

And readers, feel free to post with your responses to any of the random musings. I'm taking a break. My brain hurts.

Chocolate. Who cares as long as there's 200 pounds of chocolate to eat before it melts!

I used to eat only natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Whoever came up with these questions had to be stoned out of their mind.

I found one I liked and gave it a Dave Barry-inspired answer. I accidentally passed over it the first time and it took me a good half hour to find it again. It was the only one that sounded partially sane.

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal. ...

Who knew...

'Tis the season for bridal bliss. 'Tis also the season for the accompanying reception dance. And what's a wedding reception without that most unique of all marriage celebration dance numbers: The Chicken Dance. You know the drill. Polka starts, beak-quacking hand gestures, flapping, butt shimmying, and clapping ensue. A fun time is had by all (especially if there's an open bar). What you may not know is that: 1. This oom-pah song's origins rest with a Swiss according player named Werner Thomas who wrote it, most accounts say, in the 1950s. It originally was called the Duck Dance. 2. It is NOT German or Austrian, despite the images its roll-out-the-barrel-ish feelings it might conjure up. 3. A fellow named Norm Edlebeck, who was a bandleader from Wisconsin, introduced America to the Chicken Dance on TV's PM Magazine in 1982. 4. More than 140 versions of it have been recorded worldwide, including Walt Disney Records, together making more than 40,000,000 records (o...

IHATE IHOP Update

Tim went a few rounds, verbally, with the IHOP manager on Sunday and ended up getting our meal for half price. He still had to pay, though. I do not think that these people understand the severity of their incompetence. Or perhaps they just do not care. Someone commented to us that perhaps we should tell the IHOP folks what happened to the last restaurant that did us wrong. Recall the lactating masses who came out in support of us when we were booted from Hoover House restaurant in West Branch because I refused to breastfeed my baby in the bathroom? Remember the stories that ran in every newspaper and on every TV news show in the state -- and beyond? I'd like to point out that the Hoover House (which interestingly enough doubled as a venue for wet T-shirt contests on weekends) went out of business after our little incident. And for those of you who were befuddled and wondering how the police got involved on Sunday...someone from IHOP took the time to run out and write down our lice...
