Penguins Peeing in the Water & Polar Bears are Eating it Up!

14 Random Facts through the Eyes of a Sarcastic Person

 

knowledgeIf you are like me, you love to hear random facts. The best part of reading a random fact for a sarcastic person like me, is the first thought that comes to mind. So I thought I’d share these 14 random facts I found over at thefactsite.com and what popped in my head…. Doesn’t that sound fun?  LOL

 

Nearly three percent of the ice in Antarctic glaciers is penguin urine.

And to think, you thought they were flavored ice cubes

 

Polar bears can eat as many as 86 penguins in a single sitting

Guess polar bears want the penguins to stop making flavored ice cubes

Who would have thought playing the triangle could be so dangerous

The ABCs of Me ~~ Or More Than You Wanted to Know

Each night as I try to wind down from my day, I start surfing the blogs I follow. And now that I found the little link that WordPress has, I find it so much easier than getting 50 million emails. Yes, 50 million! No exaggeration. I have “liked” way too many of you! But I’m stubborn and plan to find more to add. I’ll just give up having a life and spend 24/7 reading what you all write. And this silly link has made it that much easier for me to do this.

But I digress once more.

Sharon over at showard76 was playing this game with other bloggers that had several questions based off the alphabet. I thought what a fun idea.

I jumped up and down screaming “I want to play! I want to play!” Then I decided to hijack the game and play. Feel free to steal, I mean borrow it as well.

Now, what kind of game would it be if I didn’t put my own Tammy the Sarcastic Wit on it? I wouldn’t want to disappoint any of you.

So away we go…..

A is for age: A) None of your business. How’s that for an A?  LOL, just kidding. I’m 46 physically, emotionally & intellectually. However, there is still a 20-year-old wondering how we got here and when our body turned on us. Especially the knees. Then again, they never really liked us.

B is for breakfast today: Hmm, do I lie and say something healthy? Or do I admit I reheated my left over quesadilla? But it was gooooooood.

C is for currently craving: Coke. No not the drug silly. The nectar of the gods. Coca Cola. 😀

D is for dinner tonight: Haven’t thought that far out. My gosh, you just asked me about breakfast. I haven’t even thought of my second microwaved meal of the day yet!

E is for favorite type of exercise: Pushing other people’s buttons. Some of you have some great resistance!

F is for an irrational fear: Hands down my fear of moths / butterflies Read this: Butterflies are Evil!

G is for gross food: PEAS!!!!!!!!! OMG they suck!  Read this: Peas, My Mom’s Favorite Torture Tool

H is for hometown: Tough one for me. I moved so much as a kid. Best I can give you is I’m a Southern California Girl – Orange County – And definitely not the OC type. Think way other side of those TV show tracks.  LOL

I is for something important: Laughter. Did you think I was going to say family like everyone else?

Hell, trust me; we all need laughter to deal with our families. 

J is for current favorite jam: Music Jam or Toast Jam? Hmm, which way do I go with this one?  I could sing Peanut Butter Jelly Time and kill both but….. Grape Jelly is my answer.

K is for kids: Is that a question? No kids. I like sending them home too much. Hard to do if they lived with you. But I do have 2 furry kids. Both 14 – Bingo & Tia.

L is for current location: Orient Express. Oh wait, Location not Locomotion. My office at work.

M is for the most recent way you spent money: Same way I spend 99% of my money. Bills, Bills, Bills and not the Destiny’s Child song either. The cool answer would be something like on the Chippendale’s Dancer or buying a new teak panel for the Yacht. But alas, just bills.

N is for something you need: Money! Didn’t you see the 99% that goes to bills? Ok, forget that answer. I need sleep! I want one good 12 hour no wakey even to go potty type of sleep. There you go, how about if I dream of money?

O is for occupation: Ice Cream Lady!!! Haven’t you read any of the Pink Truck stories?

P is for pet peeve: While I’m not fond of butt crack or pants down as you saw in my previous posts, my true pet peeve is lying. Yep, hate when people lie to me especially over stupid things. If you will lie about the small things, odd are you will lie about the big things. I hate liars.  🙁

Q is for a quote: Shakespeare? Movies? Some of these “”””” oh I know. My favorite quote. Duhhh.   Ok, here is one I love…  “Just because you know something, doesn’t mean you understand it”    It so fits people who think they know it all yet understand nothing. 

R is for random fact about you: Umm, isn’t pretty much everything above? Just saying. Hell, I’ll even toss a few more in down below.

S is for favorite healthy snack: Healthy?  LOLLLLLL Surely you jest.

T is for favorite treat: My dogs would say Pup-eroni’s. Me? I don’t like them that much.

U is for something that makes you unique: Everything. No one like me. Some would shout THANK GOD!  I’d say my ability to laugh in bad situations. (hence my blog title)

V is for favorite vegetable: You already know it sure the hell aint peas! (And don’t tell me aint aint a word cuz aint aint in the dictionary ~~ It’s my blog and I’ll use it if I want to) The answer is…I hate veggies. But if I must say…I like cucumbers. And pickles. Are pickles still a veggie after they pickle? Hmmmm

W is for today’s workout: This long ass blog answer. I’m sweating over here!

X is for X-rays you’ve had: Probably everything at one point. I’m surprised I don’t light up the night. I’m old remember A?

Y is for yesterday’s highlight: Surviving. I’m hoping to do the same today.   😀

 Z is for your time zone: Depends on the time of year. Arizona is funny that way. Technically Mountain Standard year round, yet it really is Pacific Standard through the summer. Arizona is so odd.

~~~~

Did you make it all the way to Z with me? WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

You know you laughed at least 17 out of 26 times. And that is 17 more laughs than you had prior to starting.

Let’s all have some fun and do this. Most of you are always looking for something to blog about. So here you go.

So, let’s all participate on the Alphabet Survey by blogging about your answers. (I’m not sure if you are to use the same questions, but hey, it’s your post. Use these or create your own)

Let me know once you’ve done it and I’ll definitely come visit. I even promise to read all 26 answers. Yep, pinky swear!

Thanks for having fun with me!  (or, I hope you had fun – sure would hate to lose any followers ~~ then I’d really get no sleep)

Triskaidekaphobia Day – You Know You Are Excited!

Wow, seems like only 13 weeks ago it was Friday the 13th. Wouldn’t it be neat if we had another one in 13 weeks? Hmm, I bet we do!

Booo Haaa Haaa…. Mooo Haaa Haaaa…. OK, get over it. It’s just another fun day to create chaos in the world.

Last Friday the 13th I wrote a post —> Friday the 13th Oh the Abuse You Take

And last I checked, we all survived. Well, except that one lady……..Never mind, the FBI & CIA did a cover up on it to prevent world catastrophic events from occuring.

I was going to write a whole other post today, but will push it off till tomorrow, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to exploit this silly fear day. After all, what kind of humorist would I be if I let the moment slip by? Besides, tomorrow you will not find it as fascinating since you would have survived.

So for this Triskaidekaphobia Day, I thought I’d squeeze out a little bit more of my trivia kick pony I’ve been riding. (how’s that for mixing metaphors?)

I’d promise no more this week, but honestly….who the hell knows. I promise to T R Y……that’s all you get out of me.

So, with that said, how about I cull down all the trivia I found on it. In my defense it’s Friday’s fault, I found all this when looking for trivia for that silly day – I can’t help it if Friday’s greatest claim to fame (next to being the last day of work) is scaring the bee-jee-bees out of people)

  Since I see you are on the edge of your chair (or falling asleep) I’ll jump right in….

1.     Technically if you are afraid of Friday the 13th, you may have paraskavedekatriaphobia (also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia). Those are the scientific terms for fear of Friday the 13th. Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13.  Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were said to be sufferers. President Franklin D. Roosevelt is said to have avoided travel on the 13th day of any month, and would never host 13 guests at a meal

2.     More than 60 million people worldwide claim to be affected by a fear of Friday 13th. Some of them won’t go to work, drive cars or get out of bed on this day. Friday the 13ths have more call outs from work than any other Friday. (too bad all the bad drivers aren’t any of these people – they are still on the road)

3.     The independent horror flick Friday the 13th was released in May 1980 and despite only having a budget of $550,000 it grossed $39.7 million at the box office in the United States. The remake of the original Friday the 13th film was released on Friday, February 13, 2009. (even worse? Like Jason, the films wont die! Seems like there is a new one every year)

4.     Tupac Shakur died on Friday, September 13, 1996. (Yea, guess it wasn’t so lucky for him)

5.     Fittingly, director of psychological thrillers Alfred Hitchcock was born on the 13th — Friday, Aug. 13, 1999, would have been his 100th birthday.  (not making fun of him, he was awesome)

6.     Lizzie Borden uttered a total of 13 words at her trial (“Yea, I did it, so what is the problem? Now, where’s my axe?” Just kidding, those weren’t them, I made that part up) 

7.     Apollo 13, 1970, the 13th mission launched from pad #39 (13 x 3), mission was aborted, after an explosion occurred in the fuel cell of their service module.  The rocket had left launching pad at 13:13 CST and the date was April 13th. (hmm, I’m pretty sure most of those dates / times were known in advance.. where they tempting fate?)

8.     Certain ocean liners will be held in dock until after midnight to appease passenger’s fears of setting sail on Friday the 13th (Was it a surprise to them they picked a cruise leaving on this day?)

9.    If 13 was so bad, what about this.. There were 13 original colonies & the US Seal has 13 stars, bars, feather in the eagle’s tail. 13 bars in one claw & 13 olive branches in the other

10.   Then again, a witches coven consists of 13 members and Tarot Card #13 is the Death Card depicting the Grim Reaper

11.   Hmm, the more I think about it, There are 13 steps leading to the gallows & a Guillotine blade falls 13 feet

12.   There are 13 knots in a hangman’s noose (Ok, maybe the last 3 facts are kinda creepy – yet fascinating to know)

13.   This year is a special one for Friday the 13ths: There are three of them: Jan. 13, April 13 and July 13. The freaky thing? The dates fall exactly 13 weeks apart. That hasn’t happened since 1984. And will happen again in 2015. (Think of it this way..2 down, 1 to go)

 

Ok, ok, I hear the moaning and groaning now…. No more trivia junk… I think I can make it for a week or two. 😉

Now go out and brave the big bad world and WHAT EVER YOU DO!!!! Do not walk under that ladder or cross that black cat…

LOL just kidding… I’m sure the black cat has a white hair somewhere…. Or does it……

Are you Prepared to be a Phone a Friend?

So last week when I was looking for facts for the days of the week, I kept running across various fact websites offering trivia for the day. I shared a few random things I found (anyone still looking to see if you really do breathe out of one nostril every 4 hours?).

I love useless facts. Not that I remember most of them. Normally for no reason at all, it might pop in my head at the strangest moments. But I’m pretty sure if I was someone’s phone a friend, I would choke. Maybe you are like me. We can watch these TV shows and spit out the answers and roll our eyes when the contestant forgets the smallest of things.

But we know darn well that if our cell phone rang and it was Regis or Meridith we would freak out.

Yep, the minute they asked if I was me, I’d have to check the mirror to see. I’d be that unsure of myself. Especially if I knew money was on the line. I sure the heck don’t want to be the reason someone lost.

However, I still love to read facts. So I found a few that I thought I would share.

How many did you know? 

  • If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.  (But you do have enough for a Spicy Chicken Sandwich from McDonald’s)
  • President Kennedy was the fastest random speaker in the world with upwards of 350 words per minute. (Which is how he got Jackie Kennedy to forget he was having an affair with Marilyn Monroe)
  • The 57 on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had. (Plus if you hit the 57 your ketchup comes out faster)
  • Cats sleep 16 to 18 hours per day. (So can worthless boyfriends)
  • The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C. (I’m afraid to find out what you did with it)
  • When you die your hair still grows for a couple of months.  (Note, toss a razor in the coffin)
  • The most money ever paid for a cow in an auction was $1.3 million. (I bet he gave Chocolate Milk)
  • It took Leo Tolstoy six years to write “War & Peace”. (And took most people 60 years to read)
  • The sound of E.T. walking was made by someone squishing her hands in jelly. (They tried peanut butter but their hands kept getting stuck to the roof of their mouth)
  • The word “lethologica” describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want. (I had a word I wanted to use in this side joke….now what was it???)
  • Henry Ford produced the model T only in black because the black paint available at the time was the fastest to dry. (Plus he heard it was slimming)
  • Elephants are the only mammals that can’t jump. (Guess I better take back the hopscotch chalk I was going to give as a present)
  • The average person makes about 1,140 telephone calls each year. (The average teen texts 1,140,000 times a year)
  • The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69. From 1725-1765, a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets. (Their reality show was called 69 kids and Counting)
  • The United States has never lost a war in which mules were used. (Which is why mules are being sent to the Middle East now)
  • On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonalds BigMac bun. (Who the heck counted these? Same person who counts the holes in the ceiling tile at the dentist I bet)
  • The elephant is the only animal with 4 knees. (Don’t they know they could jump if they bend at the knees?)

 

Ok, if you stuck with me, you learned a bunch of useless stuff you can now wow your friends with. That is if you have any left after reading these to them.

Sunday ~~ aka “Crap, I gotta go back to work tomorrow!”

Well, we made it to Sunday in our look at each day of the week. Sunday has a love / hate feel to it for most. (For now, we will pretend today isn’t Easter)

For some of you, it is a day of worship, for some of you it is a day of all the chores you refused to do yesterday, and for some of you, you will gripe all day that you have to go back to work tomorrow. A lucky few of you, will go to church, come home, do your chores, and gripe all day about going back to work tomorrow.  LOL

Then again, some of you will sleep all day. Sure you might get out of bed to pee and maybe raid the pantry, but for the most part, it’s sports all day in your pajamas. NASCAR, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, Rugby, Soccer you name it. But for the most part, Sunday’s tend to be the laziest day of the week.

Let’s see what facts we can drum up from our Google search…

  • Extreme Couponers live for Sundays.. The Sunday newspaper is huge today as it is filled with everything under the sun. Including comics and those coveted coupons (Admit it, at least one of you jumped up and down when you get yours – probably even stole a neighbor or twos)
  • Most radio stations play their top 10, top 25, etc countdowns (Is Casey Kassem even alive anymore? Or did Ryan Seacrest just shove him in a closet?)
  • Businesses tend to close earlier (which creates issues that everyone is off and no one is open – kind of ironic if you ask me)
  • Most sports games are almost always during the day on Sundays (hence why no one wants to get off the couch)
  • No century starts on a Sunday  & the Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday (Had to toss in some facts you could use to wow your friends with)

Well, it’s been an interesting trip down the facts of the week. Here is what I personally learned…

  • Never do it again. Sure it was nice having a theme, but I locked myself in and had some other cool stuff I had to push off. Besides, what idiot picks Easter week to do this? Oh yea, me.  LOL
  • The day’s of the week are pretty important as they have been around for YEARS yet have very little facts about them. Or no one really cared enough to capture their highlights.  Some days were like pulling teeth (yes Wednesday & Thursday, I’m talking to you!)

So I will bring this to a close. If you missed any of the other days and are curious as to what I found and what smart ass comments I added here you go…

Thanks for hanging in there, and now I will return you all to our normal daily insights into finding laughter in our lives…

Hot Diggity Dog its Saturday!

Excitement in the air, people are going crazy. It’s Saturday!!  Even better it’s a holiday Saturday.  But for our purposes, we are just going to take a look at what we can find on everyone’s favorite day of the week. Yep, 99.99%  of the people LOVE  Saturday. Ok, I made that one up too. But it sure is a heck of a lot of people.

Saturday is a time to catch up on the things you wish you could have done through the week…

  • Nap
  • Be lazy
  • Watch TV
  • Read other people’s blogs because you are so far behind and feel guilty that they read yours already
  • Nap some more cuz all the reading made you tired

You know, all the stuff you really don’t have time for even on a Saturday. Why? Because this is the crap you are suppose to be doing today…

  • Clean the gutters
  • Change the air filters
  • Wash the dog
  • Fix the big hole in the roof before it rains
  • Read other people’s blogs because you are so far behind and feel guilty that they read yours already
  • The rest of your Honey Do List…

But we all know that neither list will happen. (Unless you have a massive hangover then some of you might being napping and moaning all day).

But whatever you have on tap for the day, here are some trivia facts about Saturday for you to wow your friends with. Or at least have them look at you funny.

What Google Surfing taught us today…

  • Saturday was named after the planet Saturn. (We all could have guess that one)
  • In folklore – Saturday was the preferred day to hunt vampires. First because they were restricted to their coffins and also it was believed in the Balkans that anyone born on a Saturday could see a vampire when it was otherwise invisible and that such people were particularly apt to become vampire hunters. (wooden stake – check, garlic – check……)
  • Hand Guns – The amount of criminal activities that take place on Saturday nights has led to the expression ‘Saturday Night Special’, a slang term used in the United States and Canada for any inexpensive handgun. (dang and I thought the Saturday Night Special is what Denny’s was running…)
  • In Nepal Saturday is last day of the week and is the only official weekly holiday. (yep, only a weekday, no weekend to blow one day and make up for it the next like most of us do)
  • Saturday is the official day of rest in Israel, on which all government offices and most businesses, including some public transportation, are closed.
  • Saturday is the usual day for elections in Australia and the only day in New Zealand on which elections can be held, and also the preferred election day in the state of Louisiana. (Who would have thought Louisiana and Australia would have ANYTHING in common?)
  • Saturday morning is a notable television time block aimed at children while airing generally animated cartoons (Mainly to occupy kids so mommy and daddy could sleep in longer from having drunk to much tequila the night before with the neighbors)
  • The most famous, long running comedy is on Saturday night – Saturday Night Live, a skit show that has aired on NBC nearly every week since 1975. (For the math challenged that’s 37 years – holy moly!)
  • Finally, In Sweden, Saturday is usually the only day of the week when children are allowed to eat sweets (I bet some dentist is behind this silly law)

Well, no matter how you plan to spend your Saturday today….I’m pretty sure someone else has other stuff they want you to do….

Check in tomorrow for the conclusion of our Days of the Week…..

And if I don’t see ya, it better be because you are celebrating Easter and have been taken hostage by the bunny or lost still trying to find hidden Easter eggs or something. Then I’ll forgive you… but you best come back Monday   😀

~~~till we laugh again~~~

Finally it’s Friday! Is it Your TGIF?

Ok, if you have followed our journey so  far, we have taken a look at Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. Now it’s time to see what we can on Friday.

Since I started what seemed like a good idea at the time, I realize how long the week actually is. Although it has been interesting discovering some new stuff.

Let’s take a look at Friday. That is of course if you aren’t partying already. But let’s face it, most of you are wayyyyy beyond your party years and now your idea of a hot Friday night is curling up on your couch with the TiVo remote and catching up to the shows you missed all week.

So what interesting (or semi-interesting) things did I track down for our ever growing useless knowledge in case we become someone’s phone a friend…

  • Friday is the only day of the week named for a woman. Her name was Frigga and she was the consort of Odin. (Just like the woman to push the men out of the way and take the credit for the day everyone tends to get excited for)
  • Any month beginning on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th (Button down the hatches, we have one coming next week)
    • Friday is considered unlucky, especially Friday the 13th and unlucky to begin a voyage (then why is Friday such a mess at the airports? Guess we like our 3 days vacations more)
    • Ton’s of facts about Friday the 13th, I might have to do a special edition next week
  • Here in America we tend to forget that Friday might be the end of our weekend, but in other parts of the country, Friday signifies other things.
    • For example, did you know…
      • Friday in Saudi Arabia is the last day of the weekend and Saturday is the first workday
      • Friday in Israel is the first day of the weekend and Sunday is the first day of work
      • Muslims use Friday as their day of rest and worship
  • In the Philippines, there is a superstitious belief that it’s bad to trim finger and toe nails on Fridays (Dang, and that is the day I set aside to create those flying projectiles – guess that move has to be postponed)

And today is a special Friday for some. Yep, it’s Good Friday ~ the day Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. While it isn’t a Federal Holiday, it is a state holiday in 14 states. And many schools and many non retail businesses close. So it’s one of those wink wink not official holiday’s but we know people are going to call out sick anyways so why not just close the place down days.

Well, that brings us to the conclusion of Friday.
  • For those of you young whipper snappers that will be partying tonight ~ be safe.
  • For those of you working this weekend ~ try and not slap anyone bragging about having the weekend off and all the fun stuff they plan to have
  • For those of you celebrating the religious weekend ~ The pastor will be excited to see some of you since you only get dragged to church on Easter and Christmas
  • For many of you ~ no eating the chocolate bunny ears until Sunday, otherwise the bunny will not hear you coming

“See” ya’ll tomorrow with some fun facts (hopefully) about Saturday…  (don’t worry, only two more days to go) but I have to finish this commitment to this L~O~N~G running comedy bit…..

😉
~~~till we laugh again~~~

Thursday ~~ Yawnnnnnn

Welcome to Thursday! Otherwise known as Is it Friday yet?

Or as Tristan MacManus on Dancing with the Stars would call it… Turdsday…  (funny only if you hear his pronunciation of his “THs”)

Yea, Thursday’s are a day to go to the dentist, the DMV, post office, all those painful things that remind us it’s not Friday yet.

Let’s see what we can drum up for Thursday….Be right back, need to go visit Google.…

  • The name Thursday is tied to Thor the Norse God of Thunder (now you know who to blame for why Friday takes to long to get here)
  • We already know that Thanksgiving is always the fourth Thursday of the Month of November (Yawnnn)
  • Quakers traditionally refer to Thursday as ‘Fifth Day’ to discount the pagan origin of the English name ‘Thursday (I’m going take a wild guess they didn’t see the movie either)
  • Thursday’s is the traditional day of elections in the UK (thought I’d give ya a shout out since I said ours were on Tuesday)  😉
  • ’It was widely believed in High schools in the US in the 60’s, that if someone wore green on Thursdays it meant that they were gay (Hell, every gay person knows it’s Saturday!)
  • Most bars have a special today called Thirsty Thursdays due to the catchy title.  (Personally, I think it is to kick off your drinking weekend early)

Ok, that’s all for Thursday. Make sure to check out the last 3 days if you are a new reader or missed them. We will tackle Friday tomorrow…

~~~till we laugh again~~~

Time To Hump Your Day ~~ It’s Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!  Yep, it’s the second most popular weekday (After Friday of course).

It’s the day we all know the tide is coming and we are about to wash ashore to our weekend soon.

It is kind of misleading if you ask me. Technically you have only completed 2 of the 5 days. And until you are half way done with your day, you haven’t really crossed the hump. So no getting excited until noon people! Best advice, wake up at 12:01pm and you can start celebrating.

Besides, last time I noticed, many of you work Saturday and Sunday (someone has to serve the public on their days off). And it might not be your hump day. It might be your Friday. But I digress….

Now that I think about it, I think dogs think it is hump day everyday…

Just so you know, I”m trying to keep this PG-13 but let me tell ya, there are a lot “hump” pictures.

You really never realize how much humping is going on until you google Hump Day.  LOL

With that note, let’s see what interesting facts can we find about Wednesday?

Well let me tell ya, if I thought it was hard to find Tuesday facts, Wednesday is like that camel, dry as the desert. I’m scared to see what little Thursday has to offer.

  • There are two religious references to Wednesday – Ash Wednesday & Holy Wednesday
    • Fact within a Fact – Where do churches typically get the ashes that are used to mark worshippers’ foreheads on Ash Wednesday?
      • They burn the palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday
  • 99% of the people spell out Wednesday in their head like this… WED ~~ NES~~ DAY  (ok, I just made up that statistic because that is how I do it and I don’t want to be alone)
  • We only use one nostril at a time, and switch every four hours (noticible when we have a cold). (ok, has nothing to do with Wed-nes-day but I found it during my search and thought you all should know)
  • Yea, I’m at a loss. This is a sucky day to find facts on. But I do notice it’s Trivia night in a hell of a lot of places every Wednesday, So if you are feeling real smart, head to your local bar.
  • Since the actual day facts are scarce, I’m going to be resourceful and do facts about Wednesdayfrom Addams family (besides me being teased about the song due to my last name)
    • Her middle name is Friday (Guess they really loved the weekdays)
    • Her doll was Marie Antoinette (her brother Pugsley beheaded it (imagine what he would have done if she had a Tickle Me Elmo)
    • On TV she was a happy camper, in the movies she became more like a future goth brat (carrying around a decapitated doll will do that to you)

Well, I best be getting something accomplished today. So I’ll be back tomorrow with more pointless daily ramblings.   😀

~~~till we laugh again~~~

It’s Tuesday ~~ Did You Notice?

So, Happy Monday ~ Please Don’t Slap Me was such a hit, why not make it a 7 day series?

We all know some days get more love or hate (in Monday’s case) than other days, so let’s take a few days to examine the life of a week.

No one really bashes Tuesday have you noticed? It’s kind of like a nothing day really. No real excitement. People have settle down about being ticked off about going back to work and just accepted the fact that the week is rolling along. Not really loving the day, but not really hating the day. It just is a day.

But did you know…

  • Tuesday is the most productive day of the week (looks like people finally get going on those to do lists from yesterday)
  • Tuesday also has the lowest rate of absenteeism at work – 11% (Once again, proof people have accepted their fate)
  • Tuesday is typically Election Day in the US (Guess they think we would be too pissed off if it was on a Monday. So it was safer to move it to Tuesday so we didn’t vote out of emotion ~~ hmm, how’s that working for you?)
  • The second Tuesday of each month, Microsoft releases it’s patches for their products (then the second Wednesday of each month we all bitch that our computers are running slower)
  • We have Fat Tuesday – (No, not because Biggest Loser airs this night), but it is the kick off of Mardi Gras

Well, further proof that Tuesdays are kind of boring, no more real good facts to be found. So these will have to do.

Tomorrow should be more fun since any day that is known as “hump” day is sure to bring out the dogs and males trolling for some action.

Have a productive Tuesday, because statistically we are legally bound to do so.

Happy Monday!!! Please Don’t Slap Me

Happy Monday Everyone!  No? Not excited it’s Monday? Oh sure, be like everyone else…  😀

I think it is safe to say that Monday’s are the most hated day of the week. Why does it take so much abuse? Easy. It is a reminder that we must now accomplish something. We must now go back to work, or do those errands that we pushed off till Monday or maybe start that diet we kept saying we would on Monday. Everything we don’t want seems to kick off with a Monday.

Poor Monday, it never had a chance.

So I thought for today’s Monday, I’d go out and find some interesting things about Monday that you can wow your friends with.

  • More people have heart attacks on a Monday (People will do anything not to go to work)
  • Unfortunately it is also the #1 day for people to commit suicide (I don’t hate it that much)
  • Most people are late to work on Mondays (No matter how slow you drive, it will still be Monday when you get there)
  • You will be lucky to get 4 hours of productivity out of a person (They are too busy moaning and groaning that it’s Monday)
  • Monday is the least rainy day (I guess even Mother Nature hates to work on Mondays)

Ok, I’ll stop picking on Monday. I actually don’t get hung up on Monday. To me it is just another day since I work everyday, therefore I’m not depressed over going back to work.

However, I do have the little issue of saying I’ll start everything on a Monday. Problem is, I’m half way through the Monday before I realize it’s Monday and I was suppose to start something. Then I have to push it off until the following Monday since I don’t want to give the other 6 days a bad rap.

Well, I suppose I should go accomplish something since according to one of the facts, I can only waste half my day on griping about a Monday. I have to be productive sometime and I’ve already got plans to waste other hours of the day.
