Happy Birthday Dad

What the?

I'm sure that Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson don't speak for the majority of United Statesians...at least let's hope they don't because this is some pathetic commentary.

Blog Binders and other miscellany

Thank you Miss Explosive Laughter for finding this fun site. You can get your blog made into a book! I'm going to copy Heather and get one done for myself in August for my Blog Anniversary. How geeky is it to say Blog Anniversary? How geeky is it to capitalize Blog Anniversary!?!

Moving on...went for a most delicious brunch yesterday, it was awesome. Smoked salmon, eggs benedict, mussels, beef, ham, turkey, bacon, sausage, pasta, salads, veggies, desserts...and yes I ate almost every one of those things. I'd like to give a shout out to Tates for taking me!

Watched a bunch of movies: The Woodsman (creepy but good), Million Dollar Baby (I know almost everybody loved this movie, but I thought it was depressing and predictable), The Notebook (sweet, and I bawled like a baby), and finally Jersey Girl (FUNNY, and sweet)

Just my humble opinion, take it for what it's worth. :)

And finally for now, this guy doesn't have Tourettes, but he's crazy which makes him fun to watch. It's a time waster if you are bored on this Easter Monday.

Oh yeah, one more thing, on Saturday while shopping for some kind of meat for dinner, we came across an odd sight. A bunch of skinned rabbits. Who eats rabbit on or around Easter??? Crazy bunny eaters that's who.

Mars bars and insanity

I was listening to the radio today and heard that Mars has done a survey about how you eat your candy bar and what it says about your personality. Sure okay, sounds like a laugh. So this woman starts with describing the nibbler, the one who takes little tiny bites...they are apparently very particular people and picky eaters (and I'm sure all girls or gay guys).

Moving on...there are the people that take big bites and finish it rather quickly. These people are go getters. Okay, sure.

Then, there is my favourite group, though I have never seen them, or even heard of them until now, apparently they exist. Are you ready??? They eat a candy bar LIKE THIS:

First they suck off the whole top layer of chocolate (sounds messy!)...then they bite off all of the caramel down the entire length of the bar being careful not to eat any of the nougat centre(that's quite a skill!)...finally after licking off the remaining caramel, they eat the nougat centre by itself.

WTF?

The woman on the radio said this type of person likes to enjoy their flavours separately.

I say these people need to be under medical supervision.

Rosie O' Donnell Post

This is my attempt at poetry that sounds like Rosie's.

Monday is warm
on the skin
of my face

The face of a child
the mind of an old woman
Still

Still is the sound of the world
that I feel in my bones
As I shake like a leaf

Contradictions like those
That were once just memories
Memories of more

And when I think of the time
How it spins and weaves it's way
Through the hourglass

I feel peace
peace of mind and peace of sole (as in the fish)

How did I do? :)

Saturday night

I am going out...with my new bestfriend Janie. Have you ever met somebody and instantly they are your friend? Yep, that's Janie. Let's hope she doesn't turn out to be psycho.

I'll keep you posted.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!



The President of our company sent out this "funny" email this morning:

"Why did God invent whiskey?
To prevent the Irish from ruling the world!"


Do you think it's funny ha ha or funny peculiar?

Blogging Rules

Found this on Heather's (Explosive Laughter) blog:
Not sure what this list leaves as far as what to blog about.

"What are you going to blog about today Robin?"
"Whatever I want to blog about....GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD."

Things are working better in Bloggerland

Finally! I can post, and comment on your blogs again! I was getting the DT's.

These are the things that have been pent up in me since I lost the ability to chat in cyberspace:

Type your name (or your company, website etc.) in Gizoogle because it's funizzle.

Rosie O'Donnell has a blog here and if you can figure out what she's talking about, let me know. Just kidding (kinda) but it is a little too poetic and cryptic for me. Hi Rosie!

Go visit Robin and ask her to post some pics so we can all get to know her a little better! :)

While you are at it...visit all of the people over there ----------->
because they have a lot of interesting stuff to say.

Also, does anybody know how to do an audio post? I have so much audio to share with my bloggy peeps.

And that John guy from The Apprentice has got to go...he is such an arrogant little twit. On that note, Donald Trump should go too, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

Other than that, the B52's still SUCK and winter better be over SOON.

Peace out.

Levi's song circa 1970 something

My brother and I used to travel around the neighbourhood singing this Levi's jingle to our neighbour's parents. We actually used to get requests!!

I'm going to ask him if he wants to go back to our old hood for a reunion tour. Here are the lyrics as best as I can remember them (I searched for them on Google but couldn't find them...but I'm pretty sure these are right):

Bought a pair of Levi's
They've really been around
I've taken them camping
And I've laid them on the ground

They've come with me to parties
And they've climbed up a tree
Oh they've been to school so often
They're nearly smart as me

And after years and years of wearing
My Levi's in and out
I couldn't help but notice
That the knee wore out

So I sewed on a patch
A flower here and there
And they looked so good again
I could take them anywhere

I'm using them as cutoffs now
And flying in the air
Oh I really think it's time
That I bought another pair

You can live in Levi's!! (YAH!) The YAH at the end is VERY important...it makes the whole song.

Anybody else remember this jingle?? You'd have to be over 30 and from Canada (or the States maybe...don't know)

Duct Cleaners

Phone rings...I don't check the number...

The girl says "Hi this is Ashley and I'm calling on behalf of Duct Masters, we specialize in cleaning home ducts"

I say "I don't have a home"

Ashley says "Okay thank-you, goodbye".

She should have maybe offered to send me some soup or a warm blanket doncha think?

Funny email message from my funny friend

Hey Binsk (that's me), are we in a fight? I didn't think that we were but I have not heard from you and last time I did you were kinda short. Let me know......that way I can catch up on thinking bitchy thoughts about you. It's only fair.

BEST. QUOTE. EVER.

...what are the odds that my house painter is using "coffee" as a euphemism for "cocaine," as in, "I'M REALLY SORRY THAT I'M TALKING SO FAST AND SCREAMING SO LOUD AND PACING LIKE THIS WITH PUPILS THE SIZE OF PINPRICKS BUT I'VE HAD A LOT OF ... COFFEE"?

How funny is she? Check her out @ Java Diva

Yes, I know how old I am...

But I still like to take these silly quizzes! The verdict: I am Sex on the Beach...sounds good. What does it mean? When it comes to drinking, I like it to go down smooth. I really don't like the taste of alcohol - just its effect on me. So, I'm proud to get drunk on fruity, girly drinks. Because once I'm liquored up, the fun begins! Yeah that sounds about right (except I love beer and that's never been too girly). Wanna be a silly kid and take this ridiculous quiz too? Click here.

American Idol

Why oh why won't the producers tell these contestants to stop waving their fingers and silently mouthing the number to vote for them?!!? We see the effing number on the screen in big bold print, we hear Ryan Seacrest repeat the number TWICE. We do not need to see them wave their fingers with pleading puppy dog looks on their faces every week. It's enough to make me puke.
