Kitchen Sink Saturday

First things first: the You Tickle Me  award.

 

 

I’m about to cop-out, friends. I…I…I can’t help it! You ALL made me laugh! You ALL broadened my comedic horizons! I can’t single anybody out to receive it, so………….

 

I’ll just give him to everybody. If you played along, and you want him…take him for your very own. Take him! Crush him to your bosom. Hug him and squeeze him and call him George. Enjoy his octopody goodness.

 

I know it’s a cop-out. I warned you in advance! Don’t look at me in that accusing way!

 

Okay, okay, come closer and I’ll whisper a little secret into your ear to make it up to you…

 

Closer….

 

Closer…

Next week I’m going to give away some really cool paraphernalia, so you definitely want to be here for that.

 

I SAID

 

NEXT WEEK I’M GOING TO GIVE AWAY SOME REALLY COOL PARAPHERNALIA, SO YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO BE HERE FOR THAT!!!!!

 

Can you hear me now?

 

I’m glad you’re excited. Aren’t you glad you didn’t give up on me and my little Woe is me and great is my distress I’m done blogging goodbye cruel world  spiel? Cause now you get to win stuff!

 

I’m so full of crap.

 

But some of it is pretty fun crap.

 

For example, I found this really fantastic website the other day. Its premise is that people have an inherent need to be nagged in order to accomplish things, and so when you sign up they will send you random emails to hassle you into doing the things you know you should be doing.

 

Am I the only one who finds it really tragic that there are people out there who have no one to nag them? Perhaps we can go one better than hassleme.com. Perhaps we can begin businesses like Merry Maids wherein people hire out kindly motherly and/or wifely types who simply stand over them and bark out orders and empty threats every so often.

 

How much do you suppose someone would pay for such a service?

 

What if we threw in complimentary slaps upside the head and boots in the rear as well?

 

I think I may have found my calling.

  • I think people would pay double for a boot in the rear….!

  • Oh, if you start that business, I SOOOOOOO am coming to work for you! :-)

    And also, guess what? I’m ridiculously excited to be able to put your octopus award on my blog that I don’t mind that it’s an award that doesn’t mean anything since everyone got it. You’re so politically-correct now, Jenni! I love that little guy, though, so THANKS for permission to post him on my blog where I can see him every day. I like the idea that I could tickle your funny bone. :-)

  • Hey, okay, I don’t know what I did, but I managed to get part of my comment eaten (the part where I wrote that I was COMPLETELY teasing ya! I think I screwed up by using those brackets rather than parentheses) and the other part got italicized. Veddyyyyyy interrrrrrresting!

    Sorry about that, Jenni.

  • Haha! This post is funny–I wonder how many men sign up for that nagging thing?

  • I’d work for you too. I’m a pro-nagger. Extraordinaire. Then again, I’m trying to quit. So, nevermind. :-)

    I wanted to participate in the “You Tickle Me” thing…but when I try to be funny, I can’t. It’s impossible. It has to flow naturally from either stupidity on my part, or a lightening strike of hilarity to my brain.

    Let me get this straight: I am going to HIRE someone to NAG me???? Oh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  • I’ll happily make the commute from Tulsa to be your first empoyee…
