The Posts Where I Totally Alienate Regular Readers To Satisfy Blog365

A

I actually post everyday. But I am now going to post the alphabet one large letter at a time in case the Martians get really pissed that we landed on their planet.

The Moon inhabitants seemed to stay out of our way, but I don’t think the Martians are like that.

So I have advanced posted for the next 26 days, just in case.

Please stand by.

Two Women Said I Should Blog This! So I Did. A Guy Said It Too, but I Waited.

If you’re a blogger, the people who know you write, will invariably say “Blog This!” Sometimes with middle finger extended. Other times it is with sincerity and a true effort to provide interesting material.

A.
My daughter has dark chocolate M&M’s every evening. Recently she came across this…

She immediately termed it an Mbryo.

B.
My wife is a great secretary (not personal assistant, she’s retired before it got to that.) When she went to school she learned shorthand, fantastic typing skills, and spells gud. One of the books she bought was this…

The book has been with us for 40 years and remained unopened until I started to blog. It was like new. The spine wasn’t cracked. Now I am lost without it. It’s just 20,000 words. Love that little book. 

C.

Yesterday was the first Slo Rida bike “race.”

The rules are: slowest up the hill, no breaks, no stopping, no feet on the ground.

It’s a bike race I would love, with a trophy I would love more…

Thanks Jay (who knows I am loving Steampunk!)

There. If you want me to “Blog THIS.” Send me something: goinglikesixty(up)gmail(dork)com

DeGeneres/DeRossi Any Little Hyphens in Their Future?

Afterthought from previous post: Ellen DeGeneres marries Portia DeRossi: Will she be Ellen DeGeneres-DeRossi? Or Portia DeRossi-DeGeneres? Imagine trying to get that monogram right?
I suggest they both change their names to De-De. Ellen and Portia De-De.
OTOH, Portia DeRossi is really Mandy Rogers, so never mind.
Ellen is Ellen Lee Degeneres, suppose her nickname was E-Lee-Dee growing up? What a great rapper name!

Jenna Bush Hager Tells Ellen DeGeneres “Get Married at My Daddy’s Ranch”

Here’s something every boomer parent can identify with: your kid offering your house, ranch, estate, lodge, trailer, for a gigantic party to honor people who have different values than you.
Jenna Bush Hagar told Ellen DeGeneres she could get married to Portia DeRossi at Daddy’s ranch in Crawford.
Well, it almost happened that way…

Observes DeGeneres: “So, the ranch was a great place to get married – it looked like nobody could fly over and get pictures or bother you, really.”

“Yeah,” concurs Hager, “that was really nice” – which prompts DeGeneres to ask, “So, can we borrow it for our wedding, can we get the ranch?”

“Sure,” replies an obliging Hager.

“Okay, great,” says DeGeneres.

Mama Bush kept out of the conversation. Does this mean Laura Bush has no say in who parties in Crawford and they have to consult Daddy?
How many times did you have this conversation? “Well, you’ll have to talk with your father.”

Veni, Vidi, Vici – Terra Incongita: Man With Chain Saw

What I meant to say in fractured Latin is I came, I saw, I conquered, now you can’t recognize the land.
I have been involved in deforestation of the back forty.
I have now completed my task of deforestation and am incognitoing the terra.

Remington makes an awesome electric chain saw. AR AR AR

 Yes, I am wearing a teal hard hat – but it’s from Hoover Dam! :)
