And I'm Due For Overhaul




You Are Totally Whimsical



If you were a car, you'd be a sweet ride. You like to cruise through life in style.

When it comes to the road of life, you slow down and enjoy the scenery. You don't want anything to pass you by.

You love to drive, as long as you aren't in a hurry to go anywhere. You always prefer to take the more interesting route.

You never like it when driving is a chore. Driving should be fun, not stressful!





Most of these quizzes are crapola, but this one hits pretty close to home. I was torn between several cars, even selected them to see what the results were, but what this one says is the most like me.

I wouldn't buy a red convertible, though. I think I'd want it in silver, maybe white, even yellow.

mondegreen

mondegreen \MON-di-green\ , noun;
1. A word or phrase resulting from a misinterpretation of a word or phrase that has been heard.



My childhood buddy Joe Bill, RIP, had one he'd use now 'n then. I remember being with him standing in the ticket line behind some cute girls at the movies. It was cold and blustery outside and one of the girls turned to JB and said "Brrr!" Joe Bill, not missing a beat, said:

"Tickle your ass with a feather?"

The girl did a double-take and asked "What!!??!!"

With a straight face, Joe Bill replied:

"Particularly nasty weather!"


There are all sorts of mondegreens, especially in song lyrics, one of the most famous being "Kiss this guy.." (Hendrix's "kiss the sky") When I was a kid, I thought the Christmas carol was saying "Good King Wince's car backed out, on a piece of steel."

MyLifeIsAverage

"Life is pretty normal today." says MyLifeIsAverage, a collection of people's thoughts about their life, ending with the abbrev. MLIA. Some of the contributions strike me as anything BUT average, however.

Yesterday, at my friend's 18th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, I realized that it's a casino for little kids. MLIA.

OK, so they might not be ROFL funny, but some will make you smile.

My favorite so far:

A few days ago, I taught the little girl I babysit how to do the Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Today, I found out that she got her entire playground to do it at school yesterday. I'm so proud of her. MLIA.

EDIT: Thought I'd posted this already and was just going to link to it, but what the heck, I'll go ahead and include the video in this post.
