~Wednesday~ Back to the long bus today, and accompanied by Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth who not only talks incessantly, but loud, as I’m sure I’ve characterized her before. Here’s a part of her vomit stream today, and yes, I know that all caps is annoying and implies screaming, which is exactly why I’m employ it as a rhetorical device.
| “YES, THAT SWINE FLU COME FROM MEXICO. IT’S THE SAME STRAIN THAT WAS HERE FOUR YEARS AGO. IT’S IN THEY WATER. I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW THE UNITED STATES CAN GO TO WARS BUT THEY CAN’T GO TO MEXICO AND FIX THEY WATER. THEY JUST NOW RELEASING SOME, WHAT YOU CALL THAT, VACCINE FORMULA.
THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY SO SMART, LIKE THEY WAS EINSTEIN OR ARISTOTLE OR… THEY WAS ONE MORE THAT WAS REAL SMART. I CAN’T REMEMBER IT. |
Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter were on board again this morning, again getting off the bus one stop after mine, making me wonder yet again where they go so early in the morning to be returning home at 8:30 in the morning. Inquiring minds want to know.
The bus driver asked what the little girl’s name was, and the mother replied, “Sophia.” Love that name for her. Made me think of Sophia Loren, not the character of Sophia on The Golden Girls.
Some things that have made me smile, and that I’ve tweeted about over the past week. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen them. Move along. Nothing to see here then.
If you drink Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, Captain Morgan, Baileys, J&B, Tanqueray, Guinness, Crown Royal, Seagram’s, or Ketel One, I thank you! I have an investment in Diageo plc, which engages in producing, distilling, brewing, bottling, packaging, distributing, developing, and marketing spirits, beer, and wine, a few of which are those listed above. The rest of them are in the company’s profile. I own 100 shares of this company, and it’s gone up 15.8% since I bought it, for a current gain of $880. That’s only if I sell it right now, though, of course. It’s just a “paper gain” as they say in the biz.
Of the celebrities I follow on Twitter, Paula Poundstone is one of my favorites. She tweeted this profound tweet this week: “How come, if I can lose weight from lifting weights, I can’t lose weight from hauling around my own fat thighs? Tell me I’m onto something.”
I find this as compelling as when I first heard that the way Americans learn geography is by what countries it goes to war with.
Someone at a meeting I was in said, “Excuse me. [cough] I have a frog in my throat.” It made me wonder about the origin of that saying.
10 Romantic Getaways 2 Fall in Love (With) I’ve been to three of them. Two people on Facebook asked, “Which three?” Answer: “San Francisco (as part of gay boot camp; we all have to go; the homosexual agenda you know; we’re busy, busy, busy); Saint Paul de Vence, Provence, France; and Santorini Greece.”
Dancing was fun enough tonight. This was on the chalkboard in the restroom:

I had another blog entry highlighted on 30threads.com. Ginny captioned it, “Do you ever look in your neighbor’s recycling bin?“
