Lazy Lazy Post Rewind: The 10 Dirty Words You Can Say on My Blog

A classic from last fall. Chalk this one up to a dearth of creative ideas. And me feeling a little bit sassy at the moment... enjoy, y'all.

~~~~~~~~~~

Now who's talking dirty... me, that's who!

In a fit of boredom and inspiration, fueled by the need to have a post today for NaBloPoMo, I decided to use my new pal Utterli and have a little good clean fun with my Top 10 Sexy Words.

It's not my best work -- damn throat issues still abound -- but it's not bad.

Please be kind. We are all friends, right?

What must she think about "muffin tops?"

Sent to me by my always hilarious brother...

You Shook Me All Night Long

Go ahead. Shake it baby. Shake it. You know you wanna...



TGIF, y'all!

(Poached from my divine pal thombeau over on Fabulon.)

Best. Lazy Post. EVAH!

I am your brother!
Your best friend forever!"

Can't. Get. Enough.



This totally gets my vote to be the Coronation Song for the AI winner this year. Nigel, are you listening?

"We're brothers 'til the end of time
Together or not, you're always in my heart..."

Lazy Post 2: Electric Boogaloo

Speaking of beloved things remembered... put Bloom County at the top of that list. Opus is a deity amongst penguins and I think I dated Steve Dallas at least once in 1985.

I could wax poetic on this subject ad infinitum, but I think, for the moment anyway, I'll just let this strip do the talking for me:

Lazy Post

I just had one of those Oh! Em! Gee! moments -- I inexplicitly loved this song back in the day (even had a poster of Neil with these guys on the wall of my room in the sorority house) and for some reason, just now remembered it. I tracked this down on YouTube and am indulgently putting it here, so I can watch it whenever I want. You're welcome to join me.




BONUS!

Elvis needs boats.
Elvis needs boats.
Elvis Elvis Elvis
Elvis Elvis Elvis

¡Queso de la Musica!

I was treking through my iTunes library and came across a couple of really cheesy songs that I'd forgotten about but I love... a trip to YouTube helped me to bring them to life:

Here's Melissa Manchester (sporting a haircut remarkably similar to one I had at the same time) with "You Should Hear How She Talks About You"



You should hear how she talks about you,
You should hear what she says
She says she would be lost without you,
She's half out of her head (out of her head)
You should hear how she talks about you,
She just can't get enough.
She says she would be lost without you,
She is really in love.

(spoken) She's in love with you boy

Love Melissa's hot-to-trot red dress in that clip... it just sums everything up.

And here's Barry Manilow, with a recent performance of my favorite song of his (Shut. Up.) -- "Even Now"



Even now when there's someone else who cares
When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I'm climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won't see that

Even now when I know it wasn't right
And I've found a better life than what we had
Even now I wake up crying in the middle of the night
And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad

Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are, I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through, I swear I think of you
And how I wish you knew, even now

So sappy yet so poignant. Even as a fourth grader, listening to my Barry Manilow cassette on my bright yellow Panasonic player, this song got to me. Still does.

It's techno-disco Liza! with "Losing My Mind" -- my favorite Sondheim number all dressed up in sequins and sample beats:



...All afternoon,
Doing every little chore,
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor,
Not going left,
Not going right.

I dim the lights
And think about you,
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you.
You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

This is not my preferred version of this song (that honour goes to Julia McKensie on the Side by Side by Sondheim OCR), but I love Liza so very much -- and therefore it works for me on a purely entertainment level.

The question now is: Have I consumed my NutriSystem daily allotted dairy servings, thanks to the cheesy goodness of these songs...

'Tis The Season...

Best TV Chrismas Moment ever. Period. Love.



Wow. Also Love. Sigh.

Classic

Dave Brubeck Quartet with "Take Five", circa 1961.

This is totally good for the soul. Not to mention it's my main cell ringtone.

Good For What Ails 'Ya...

Miss Bea and the one true Mame, Miss Angela:


Judy!


Rufus!

Wrinkles Caused By Giggles Shouldn't Count

My new hero. If only I still had my 8-Track player...

Attitude Adjustment

I poached this from a blog template. Well worth the steal.

Be A Kid Again

Do a cartwheel.

Sing into your hairbrush.

Walk barefoot in wet grass.

Play a song you like really loud, over and over.
I do this on a regular basis. And sing along, too.

Dot all your “i”’s with smiley faces.

Read the funnies. Throw the rest of the paper away.

Dunk your cookies.

Play a game where you make up the rules as you go along.

Step carefully over sidewalk cracks.

Change into some play clothes.

Try to get someone to trade you a better sandwich.

Eat ice cream for breakfast.

Kiss a frog, just in case.

Blow the wrapper off a straw.

Have someone read you a story.

Find some pretty stones and save them.
I substitute "shells" for "stones"...

Wear your favorite shirt with you favorite pants even if they don’t match.

Take a running jump over a big puddle.

Get someone to buy you something you really don’t need.
Hee hee hee

Hide your vegetables under your napkin.

Stay up past your bedtime.

Eat dessert first.

Fuss a little, then take a nap.
I try to live by this one a couple of times a week. A nap, underneath a ceiling fan, in the summertime, is one of the world's greatest activities.

Wear red gym shoes.

Put way too much sugar on your cereal.

Make cool screeching noises every time you turn a corner.

Giggle a lot for no reason.
Done. Regularly.

Give yourself a gold star for everything you do today.
