Mosquitoes, My Pillow, Chevy Dog

I guess most of you were watching Game Of Thrones instead of American Idol on Sunday, because I didn't receive any comments on the American Idol winner, or losers yesterday, except for my wonderful wife who loves me to pieces! Thank God!!

Since that's all past history, we need to dwell on more important issues that infiltrate our cerebral cortices on a daily basis, making us mad (in a British, crazy way), mad, MAD!!!

Why do mosquitoes only bite me?!!

All my entire, stinkin' life, whilst everyone else is enjoying the picnic, I have been plagued with thousands of mosquitoes viciously biting me to the point of madness!! (In a British sort of way)

Of course, I always forget the mosquito repellent, which makes me MAD! (In an American way)

I wish I could, either, find out why I get eaten by mosquitoes, or that everybody would get eaten by mosquitoes, so I wouldn't feel like such an oddball! 

Is there no way to get the My Pillow guy off of our TVs! Come on! Enough is enough! We already know the ads by heart, and if we ain't bought a pillow by now, we NEVER will! 

Which reminds me of a joke my dad used to tell..."Last night I dreamed I was eating marshmallows, when I woke up my pillow was gone!"

At 4 years old, I thought this was high comedy! You see, we didn't have videos, a thousand TV shows, and the internet back in 1954. 

Dave Ramsey bugs me to no end! You know, the money guy? He has made billions of pazoozas by using the age old advice our ancestors taught us. "Save your money, don't spend it on things you don't need!" That's basically it. 

I had relatives, many moons ago, who did exactly what Dave Ramsey teaches today. They saved money to the point of NEVER going out to eat, or to the movies, or helping a family member in need, or...basically, they were no fun!

On the other hand, the family I grew up in, did fun stuff, spent our last dime on going to the movies, or swimming, or helping our neighbors....and although we never had much in savings, we had wonderful experiences and joy saved up in our hearts! 

I think I got a bit too "preachy" back there, so don't pay any attention to me, like always. Tee hee! 

I could go on and on about Ramsey, repetitive commercials, folks that don't pet my dog when we walk past them...

What's up wit dat, hmm? Chevy is such a cute little Chorkie dog, so most everyone is compelled to pet him, and talk to him when we're out for a walk. 

Chevy and I both cannot understand when people just ignore him, don't even look at him, and some even tell him to GET AWAY!! 

I just think that maybe they had a bad experience with a dog, or they are just HATEFUL, CREEPY PEOPLE!!

It's hurts Chevy's feelings, because his whole purpose in life is to bring happiness to the world, and he feels like he failed in those few instances. 

No matter. We never let the negative Nellies dictate our attitude! Even when it comes to folks who don't make comments on this blog. We know you have your reasons for ignoring my witty questions, and leaving my questionnaires blank, but I don't wanna hear "em! 

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Madison Vandenburg LOST American Idol? I'm Either Losing My Touch Or The World's Gone Mad!

When I think there is nothing that can shock and surprise me anymore, I watch a T.V. event that makes me question my own ability to predict the outcome of said event.

No, it's not "Game Of Thrones." I'm talkin' about "American Idol!"

All along I just KNEW Madison Vandenburg would be the winner! She's cute, only 17, smiley, and has a voice as good as anyone who's ever performed on the show! 

Alejandro and Laine had mediocre voices and even though Alejandro wrote his own songs, he wasn't nearly as cute as Madison.

Laine may have been as cute as Madison, to young girls, but he was not 17, and he has a voice with limited range and scope. (I don't know what scope means, but I wanted to sound like I know what I'm talking about) (no, not the mouthwash!)

I used to be almost 100% accurate in predicting the outcomes of talent shows, like the Ted Mack Amateur  Hour, beauty pageants, hog calling contests, and anything that required very little knowledge, and a lot of chutzpah! 

chutz·pah

/ˈho͝otspə,ˈKHo͝otspə/

noun

INFORMAL

1. shameless audacity; impudence.

   "love him or hate him, you have to admire Danny's chutzpah"

Anyway, I'm either losing my "touch," or America is losing it's mind by NOT choosing Miss Madison Vanderhoot as the American Idol! 

Donna wanted Laine to win, because she said he "looks like an American Idol!" 

Looks like an American Idol? LOOKS like an American Idol?  What?

Do you think I picked Carrie Underwood because she LOOKS like an American Idol? Well, maybe, but she also has a great voice...I think. 

Who was your pick? 

You were watching Game Of Thrones? 

Don't you wish you didn't?

Even if you didn't watch American Idol, who do you like best from these brief clips...

Madison, RIGHT? I knew you'd agree with me! Right? Right?

 Let's play "Name The Celebrities" And Do Some Other Weird Things!!!

What do all of these celebrities have in common with me?

First! Can you name them all? Whoever is first to name all 11 will win first class tickets on the first passenger rocket to Jupiter! Lunch included! (Or should that be launch included, Ha ha ha ha ha!)

Back to our first question (I'm overusing the word first), which was, what do all these celebs have in common with me?

First (there I go again) you're thinking that it's our good looks, right?

However, not ALL of the celebrities are as cute as me, so forget about that. Of course, that's just my personal, unbiased opinion. 






Maybe now you guys and gals have decided that it's TALENT that's the commonality that links me to these TALENTED super celebrities! 

Wrongo! I'm kinda talented, in very limited ways, but I can't pitch like, ............., or write poetry like............., or act in horror flicks like............., or star in Quantum Leap like..............,or do the voice of mandrill Rafiki in the Lion King,
 like..............., or even come close to singing like................! (How does he hit those stratospherically high, high notes?) (Maybe I'm thinking of Michael Bolton, oh, what's the diff)

So scratch talent off your list. 

Could it be that we've all been investigated by the government? No. That's too easy. Who hasn't been investigated by the government in this 21st centurian! 

If you REALLY want to know the answer, you need to go outside today, pick one of those fuzzy dandelions, blow off the fuzzies, walk to the nearest body of water, submerge yourself up to your waist, whilst holding the fuzzless flower (yes, dandelions are flowers, I saw it on Fazebook) above your head, as you cluck like a chicken.

The connection between me and those celebs will come upon you like "Gangbusters," or maybe not!

Just to make my blog thing more intriguing today, I'm not gonna tell you the answer! You guys and gals can participate by placing your guesses in any comments section available to you, that we have spared no expense in providing! 

Here is the question again, since you've probably forgotton already...

What do all of these celebrities have in common with me?

And don't forget to make your futile attempt at guessing the names of all 11 celebs!
