Going Like Sixty

I Should Have Been a Brit: Love The Humour. Frozen Blackberry, Apple and Small Dongles.

Problems with your frozen blackberry or your apple? Dongle too small? Check the British version tech support…
I love this humour.
In honour of this video, I shall write as my prose shall be recognised by the Queen Mum herself.
I hope you enjoy this titbit without offence. If not you are certainly a complete arse.

Flash: Boomer Women Kayakers Are Always More Fun – The Mary Ellens

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 10:56 PM PST

Technically, one is Mary Ellen and the other is Maryellen. Or as Maryellen says: Mary space Ellen and Mary no-space ellen.
Women Kayaking Cold Weather

Baby-boomer Maryellen was proud to flash her cold weather gear. Xer Mary Ellen on the other hand was a little mortified.

Maryellen defends herself:

Okay, so I can’t help it!  I was so proud of my new Ultra Farmer Jane wetsuit that I had to show it off.  And I forget sometimes that I’m around a bunch of MEN!!!!

This was the second cold-weather kayaking outing for the group. The first was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Twelve hardy (fool-hardy?) souls paddled around a small lake for a few hours to shake off the Turkeyness. In the case of a few, they will never be able to shake the Turkeyness. (Looking at you Kenny.)

Saturday was the second cold-weather outing (ignore the dates stamp on the photo) and it was a four-five hour trip on moving water. The air temperature was below freezing when they put-in and maybe tipped a few degrees above freezing when the sun broke through the overcast around noon.

I happened to be wandering around with Oliver when the sun came out and a very fleeting thought went through my head: It wouldn’t be half-bad to be on the river now.

And for those few minutes I was right. Then reality set in and I remembered that for two hours before noon and for two hours after noon, they were still paddling.

My yak and I are truly fair weather fans. Especially when I learned three yakers took the polar-bear plunge inadvertently.

Flash: I’ll see you in the spring Maryellen, will you recreate the picture?

Sunday Stealing: I Can Whistle Like a Crazy Man

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 10:31 PM PST


Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named CV Rick from the blog named Ninja Writer. It’s 50 questions so we will do it in two parts. He stated that he grabbed it from Wry Catcher. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Sunday Stealing: The Ninja Meme, Part Two

Cheers to all of us thieves!

26. Whose responses to Stealing do you want to read the most? Catch Her in The Wry. She’s turned into quite the humorist.

27. What color shirt are you wearing? Stipes – horizontal! Rugby shirt. AR-AR-AR. It’s off white and burgandy.

28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? Absolutely. Nekkid.

29. Can you whistle? I have two: my whistle-a-happy-tune pucker whistle and my awesome jam two fingers in  my mouth whistle which gets my tinnitus roaring. I used to use it to call the kids when they were roaming the streets. “Listen for my whistle.”

30. Favorite colors(s)? Burgandy – also my favorite movie character and wine.

31. Could you be a pirate? Yes. I already have a peg leg and a silver tooth and a ship (kayak actually).

32. What songs do you sing in the shower? Ava Maria or Baby Got Back or anything by Will.I.Am. I also whistle. And fart. Sometimes during the same song. I am my own Spike Jones.

33. Favorite girls name? Kat Von D.

34. Favorite boy's name? Clem Kadiddlehopper

35. What's in your pocket right now? Keys – only half of which I know what they open.

36. Last thing that made you laugh? Probably an episode of Friends.

37. Best bed sheets as a child? We were poor, we only had white. Sheesh, they didn’t have anything but white when I was a kid! Punch line to an old joke: You put sheets on my bed I keel you!

38. Worst injury you've ever had? Mushed leg and mushed forehead from car wreck.

39. Do you love where you live? No.

40. How many TVs do you have in your house? How many HDTVs? Too many to count because I never throw away a television. I have new TV’s in boxes unopened (black and white that run on batteries) and we now have TWO HDTVs

41. Who is your loudest friend? I don’t know, stupid question.

42. How many dogs do you have? Cuatro.

43. Does anyone have a crush on you? No.

44. What are the most fun things you ever did? Ever? For an extended time, I would say the Windjammer Barefoot Cruise was the most continuous fun. We always have fun at Disney World. I have fun on the river. I have fun in the car driving and whistling.

45. What are your favorite books? None.

47. Favorite Team? None.

48. What songs do you want played at your funeral? I have that written down someplace. I don’t recall and probably would change them now. I don’t care because I can’t hear them. I’m dead, remember? Hell, I can’t hear them half the time when I’m alive.

49. What were you doing at 12 AM? Exactly? Dunno. Approximately? I think I got up to pee.

50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? Dayam. That was a few hours ago. It was probably something like, don’t move too much because Derby will start whining to go outside.
