Nine Words

Remember the ‘lady’ who sent me her birthday wish list? She sent me a list of Nine words that women use.   I responded in italics.     Lets just say it didn't go over well... NINE WORDS WOMEN don't know how to USE… (1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. ~This is the goal of every argument.   Once "Fine!" is reached the man realizes that he has won and no further discussion is needed. "Right" is a relative term that women don't understand.... (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. ~Five minutes = Five minutes.   I refuse to accept any other reasoning.   If you need 30 minutes, tell us 30 minutes or better yet, tell us 43 minutes and we will be pleasantly surprised when you are actually finished in 50.   If men ...

I would pay good money to see Capt'n Punc. Perform this routine.    I don't know what made me think of the Capt'n. Maybe it was the way guy turns under his hat or it could be this move . ~Bibliotender

I just finished watching “It Might Get Loud.” Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White get together and discuss the guitar and describe some of their early experiences.   At one point Page stands up and plays the intro to “Whole Lotta Love” and you can see both The Edge and White turn into awestruck little boys.    

Story Songs

Music has always been a part of our lives.  Sure we watched a lot of T.V. growing up but it was music that kept us grooving during chores or entertained in the car (this was before radio was more commercial than music).  Sometimes we got to experience those special moments when you and a friend/stranger/group all ‘sing’ together, usually off key, and forever link that moment or situation to that song.  I have always been drawn to songs that tell an interesting story and subsequently spending way too much time researching the true events behind the lyrics or interpreting the meaning.   Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan I used to have these lyrics on my bedroom wall.  This was before we had the luxury of the internet and had to actually listen, pause, write, listen, pause, write, rewind, listen, rewind, listen, pause, write….cont. Dad and I used to argue over the lyrics; we never did come to an agreement on the 6 th verse (the part about living with...

Ok so here is the story, just to set things straight. The first part of the story is already documented here :   Following this conversation my Co-Workers decided it would be funny to put pictures of unicorns all over my cube. There must have been at least 20 different pictures of pink unicorns and various unicorn accessories (purses, slippers, etc.) lining the top of my cubicle.   I thought it was funny and we had a good laugh, until the next week when they noticed that I still hadn’t taken down the pictures.   “Um,…Are you going to take those down? They’ve been up for over a week now.” “Nope, I’m going to leave them up and direct every question back to you.   This way you have to explain why my cube was assaulted with mythical creatures.” This strategy backfired a bit because the only answer they gave was “Biblioteder likes unicorns.”   I wasn’t bothered by this response too much until upper management started to wander around.   More than...
