Sunday Stealing: The Imaginary Meme, Part One

1. Have you ever peed your pants as an adult?
Full throttle empty my bladder peeing? No. Leakage? Yes. Carbonated drinks really do me in. One time I was trying to making it home from a day of kayaking and just. couldn’t. hold. it. I leaked. But I totally relieved myself in the yard. It’s good to be the guy. BTW: in Costa Rica, it is very common to see cab drivers and truckers peeing alongside the road. Very.
2. Who do you have a celebrity crush on now? I share a crush with St. Todd deCubbville on Sofia Vergara. Just looked at her website and I’ll probably be spending more time there. I also like Kim Spradlin the winner of Survivor: One World.
3. Would you date someone you met online?
No looking, but I know at least two couples my age that met online. So, yeah.
4. Do you wear underwear always?
No. You don’t want to know more, right?
5. Do you hate yourself at times?
No.
7. Do you like dirty movies?
Well, “dirty”? Raunchy, racy yes.
8. Could you believe Josha Ledet was voted off Idol?
Who? We didn’t watch one episode for the last two seasons.
9. When was the last time that you bought a car?
That would be the Dodge Magnum Station Wagon Kayak Hauler
10. Have you ever been camping?
Yes, a lot when I was a kid. We guys from the neighborhood would load up a small hay trailer and hook it to the back of the John Deere and off we would go to a local river, forest or lake.
My parents like to camp too, so we took a lot of camping vacations. As an adult, I took a hiatus because Nanc’ also camped as a kid and hated it. My last camp-out was an overnighter on the Barren River whilst kayaking.
11. How many times a day do you go on facebook?
Three.
12. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
I Don’t Know, starring Can’t Remember and I Forget. It’s been at least two years.
13. Have you ever worried that you’d cut off a limb?
Many times. Assuming you meant a body part. I draw blood a lot when hacking the greenery.
14. Where did you get your last email from?
 65.111.175.195
15. Favorite website?
16. Are you down with ghetto?
I don’t know what that means
17. Will the world end in fire or ice?
Icy Hot
18. Do you believe in the afterlife?
No.
19. Would you be upset if facebook stopped working?
No. It would be a good thing for all of humanity.
20. How did you start your blog?
How or why? How? I use WordPress, Bluehost.com and GoDaddy.com

Golf will be an official Olympic sport at the 2016 Summer Games.

Here are the loser applicants.

  • Baseball – neener. neener. neener MLB
  • Softball – girl’s game
  • Squash – too much like LaCrosse or Cricket, I forget which.
  • Karate – board smashing and brick breaking, I hope this gets added soon. Olympics need more bloodsport
  • Roller Sports – Oh yeah, how did they miss this? half pipes and flat track racing. Hot.

Golf was an Olympic sport in 1900 in Paris and 1904 in St. Louis. I recall them well remember reading about them.

Golf proposes a 72-hole stroke-play Olympic competition for men and women, with 60 players in each field. The world’s top 15 players would qualify automatically.

Ah crap. Doomed. Stroke play golf is boring to watch on Tee Vee.

Except for Goofy Golf events after the season:

  • Three Tour Challenge: Geezers, Girls and Guys
  • Skins
  • Senior Skins
  • LPGA Skins
  • Shark Shootout
  • Par Three deal played in the piney woods of Northern Michigan
  • Ryder Cup (not really Goofy Golf, but close.)

The Olympic Golf format should be one players can identify with.

A mixed sex scramble. Include mulligans, tosses, skirts, and have a beer cart.

U.S. Team outfitted by LoudMouthGolf of course. (Which solves the problem of letting women play, because they will refuse to be seen on the same links with guys wearing these outfits.)

And fer gawd’s sake: allowing cheering and hazing during Olympic Golf in 2016.

When Campbell Brown worked at NBC, I forecast great things for her. I thought she had a bright future.
Then she got with child and moved to CNN.
Career killers.

Here’s a commentary she did recently about the “big swinging anchors” and their feud on Prime Time Cable TeeVee (who watches this stuff anyway?) She never mentions O’Reilly and Olbermann by name, just as “big swinging anchors.”

Yeah, Campbell Brown, lots o’ guys wish you would hoist their big swinging anchors.

Arrrrrr, nice ratings boost.

Geeks are always careful when they eyeball the car next to them.
