Remember Dido ?

Remember Dido ?

Is it just me or is the motion you use when trying to get change out of the vending machine hole the same as when you're fingering a classy lady ? Oh , it is just me . Sorry .

Whatever happened to Dido ? Does she qualify as a one-hit wonder ? Did you know her real name is Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong ? And that she's a diehard Arsenal fan ? I don't care about soccer but I do sometimes pretend to be an Arsenal fan .



Only moments ago I was at the fueling station and a dude who's car was emitting voluminous plumes of smoke asked me for help and I told him I don't really know anything about cars and he said "Oh sorry , you look like a blue collar type" . This took be aback somewhat . I would have never suspected that I look like a blue collar type . I would have bet the farm that I look like a doofus type . Granted I was wearing my cruddy lawn work clothes but to me that just means I look like a doofus in cruddy clothes . Which honestly are barely distinguishable from my normal attire .

Speaking of , I noticed today the cuff (is that what you call the bottom of pants) of my favorite chinos were frayed . So I burned them when I got home to keep me from stupidly tossing them in the wash and wearing them again by accident . It's a waste but what else could I do ? Charitable organizations won't take damaged clothes and no one I know is both poor and needs chinos . And when you try to give clothes you don't want to non-poor people they get real upset . Dudes anyway . It may be different with women .

I've been using my washing machine for some number of years now (4 ? 5 ? 6 ? )and I just noticed the other day that the fabric softener hole says "dilute with water" up to a certain line . I suppose that would be why all my white shirts have green fabric softener blob stains on them .

[blog sweet0necter] reminded me of the time people tried to rob me or home invade me or whatever the heck they were doing . I'm sure I've blogged about it before , maybe even twice before , but I will do it again now . You can check and see how much the story has changed . Human memory is the worst right ?

I'll do the short version . Truck pulls up to my driveway . Inside is a sexy lady , a hunky dude and a uggo dude . They talk amongst themselves . Uggo comes to the door and tries to give the religious spiel . He does poorly , gets frustrated and goes back to the truck . The comely couple comes to the door and lays on the charm . I get a weird feeling and look to the sliding glass backdoor . Another dude and a are trying to pry the backdoor open . I slam the front door shut and run back there . The dude bails but the runs inside and I smack him on the head . The runs off also . They all haul ass away in the truck .

It was quite frightening at the time but looking back its just weird .

On the memory front , I mention to my cop buddy the other day that there's a story about two friends of mine that does not involve me at all , but as more and more time passes I remember it like I was there . He said this is a normal thing , which is why eyewitness testimony is almost always widely confabulated . The more you think about something the more it becomes a memory like it happened to you .

One time a lady goes she goes "are we a couple ?" and I says to her I says "Of course we're a couple . . . a couple of knuckleheads !" Rimshot . It went over about as well as you would expect . Its funny , I assume my clownery is what attracts women to me (those few who are attracted) but that's also the thing that they eventually grow to hate . The lesson ? Only dates dudes you're not attracted to I guess .

I don't want to be the 17 billionth man in human history to ask "Why women got to put labels on everything" so instead I will indulge in an even more obnoxious man behavior , I will mansplain why women are always with the labels .

You see women are very goal oriented . They like to measure their progress towards said goals , naturally . If you agree that you're a couple then that's one step closer . Closer to what ? Getting engaged . Which is progress towards getting married . Which is progress towards growing bored with each other . Which is progress towards said boredom turning to hatred . Which is progress to getting divorced . Which is progress towards the ultimate goal of admitting that like you sex and doing freaky stuff with dudes from the internet .

And you might be thinking , whoa , can't we just go straight to the end ? And to that I say , we're working on it . There used to be a lot more steps . Letter jackets and going steady and promise rings and dowries and chattels and being sewn into a bag and capturing a Leprechaun etc et al . We're getting there .

Before I gave up dating altogether towards the end I adopted the strategy of saying "you can say we're whatever you want , I'm your boyfriend , I'm just some dude , we're married , I don't give a shit - its just words man ." And for some reason that didn't go over well . Shocking huh ?

Today I said something 40deucey and this lady says to me she says "where did you get that from" and I told her it was an original thought . We went down that path a little and I thought I was busted as an AFFer , which I guess I was , but she never accused me of writing this blog , just of reading it . Isn't that interesting ? See lady , I do too write this blog !

Did I mention that I feel like dumping a bucket of blood on someone ala Carrie seems like it would actually be really hard ? I feel like I did . Even if you knew exactly where they were going to stand its a bucket - its not a sniper rifle . I doubt you could hit them dead-on like in the movie . I think if you really wanted to douse them you have to just throw a bucket of blood at them - like they do to people in mink stoles .

I was talking about this with some young people , they all knew about Carrie , but they all thought that the evil popular killed a pig to get that blood . I told them you can go to a slaughterhouse and buy all the blood you want . These crazy these days , don't even know how to get blood . Oh , is there a blood app ? Is this pig blood 4G ?

My point is , I feel like giving someone a pig-blood facials is definitely illegal but I can't put my finger on what you'd be charged with . Is throwing liquid on someone assault ? Technically maybe . Is it criminal mischief ? Destruction of property ? Prom dresses ain't cheap . Disorderly conduct ? What if it was just a bucket of water ? Is that illegal ? Probably it is , but would anyone really care ? Maybe they would if you dumped the water on a chesty broad in a white shirt .

In conclusions I bought a mango Monday (as I do every Mango Monday) and I ate it today and it sucked . I'm starting to think mangos are like peaches , a good one is better than sex but finding a good one is so rare its not even worth trying . Just like sex .


Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

You might not have known how to put the fabric softener in the machine but at least you use fabric softener - you're ahead of me with your laundry-fu.

I wonder why I'm the one who's so paranoid about crime when you're the one that has actually had a home invasion?

I used to be super paranoid about home invasions , then when I started living alone again it stopped . Draw your own conclusion on what that means .

Mangoes are like that.

I was afraid of that

Mansplain? Is that a real word or something borrowed from Ricky Ricardo?

"Oh, Deu-uce, yous got some mansplainin' to do!"

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Can't it be both ?
