Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Mrs. JCyclonee worked banquets at a golf course during high school and college. This was before the golf boom in the 90's so the municipal course she worked at was one of the more prestigious ones in the Twin Cities. It often hosted local and some national celebrities. She once spilled a beer on former Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer. Chances are, he had probably already spilled one on himself that night based upon his reputation but he handled it pretty well.
One night, the city hosted an important meeting with Governor Arne Carlson. Mrs. JCyclonee managed to spill a meal all over his shoes. Evidently, the city officials were getting pretty agitated. Governor Carlson got up and told a story about how he had done something similar to a celebrity while working as a waiter in college. He did a great job of diffusing the situation.
As an FYI, one celebrity she did not like went by the nickname "The Body".
got home a bit late and sicky-sleepy so here's your last volleyball update
we went up against the team with the same name as us and we both said how we were fighting for the right to the name. We lost 2-1. DH was off a bit and he said the fact that he went running at the gym was proof that exercise is bad for you. Normally he can't get to the gym before games.
My serving was two good serves and a poop serve. Ignominious end to our season. Kickball starts in a couple weeks but I'll probably miss a couple games.
Survived day and a half of meetings. Thought I'd be in them yet this afternoon but no. So now I'm like what to do this afternoon....maybe some work.
Also, I should run several miles after work but this whole coughing thing is a convenient excuse for a nap, right?

Coughing, snot, and phlegm stink. I've got a ton of cardio rebuilding to do after all that crud went through.
Yes, it's a good reason to nap. Sometimes you have to rest it off.
Or quit your crying and get something done.
I'll be uncontactable for a few hours. Found "Short Circuit" on the Ovation channel.
Last lines of a song I thought GR8 might recognize. Maybe not.
I do, of course. But I think it's "via" Omaha. Uneasy Rider
Rihanna, take yo panties off.
I had to focus on something else besides the spider to make the goosebumps go away.
I got a bit winded going up the stairs at work this morning. But I'm also trying this really slow running thing where you keep your HR at like 55-75% of max to build your cardio base so 13 minute miles can't really do that much damage.....I should at least go for a nice walk with this weather. Possible after a nap. I know I've not been sleeping well. Nor DH for that matter.
Been putting up with some lower back pain/discomfort since Thursday. Lots of bending over washing the car. Did some other yard work. Nothing really strenuous but just had this nagging since then. Been taking a few OTC pain meds.
Woke up this AM and really didn't think much about it. Put out the recycle and puttering about. Got on the 'puter a few minutes then got up and POW! Extreme shooting pain every time that muscle group got activated. Heating pad and little movement since. A few more pain killers and I'm doing better.
Everyone says it all starts to fall apart when you hit 60. I felt it today!

I've seen it written down both ways...I always heard "by Omaha"...which is a much more Southern way of expressing it than "via Omaha".
He's a friend of those long-haired hippie type pinko *ahem* and I think he's even got a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside o' his GEEE-rage...
Country rap...before there was rap rap...
No one could ever make the claim that Charlie was PC.

Yeah, it was a cross between hippie long hair and country story telling. I always hear/heard it as "Via Omaha."
But I always heard Suspicious Minds as, "They call it a drought, I can't walk out" (which actually rhymes). And the Monkees Theme as "We went to Betsy singing, to put everybody down" (which makes no sense) - but that's how 10 year old Mean heard it.
Bwahahaha~~~
There's always the old standbys - 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy & "there's a bathroom on the right".
My worst one that I never knew was wrong until just a couple of years ago was from England Dan & John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Like to See You Tonight"...I couldn've sworn the words were: "I'm not talking 'bout millenia...and I don't want to change your mind..."

My shins cry if I try a slower thing like that. I guess these legs just want one dull, steady pace for whatever distance. Just don't change that routine, unless it involves sprints. My legs seem to think that's cool.
It (Betsy) didn't seem that odd to me. There were lots of songs with random girl's names in them. I guess I figured it had something to do with their first/pilot episode where maybe there was a girl named Betsy to which they sang some song putting people down.
Remember when the title songs to the shows told the set up?
Mr. Ed - A horse is a horse of course, of course.
Beverly Hillbillies - Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
Gilligan's Island - Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale.
Brady Bunch - Here's a story of a man named Brady....
Green Acres - Fresh Air, Times square, etc.
Since Woo disliked my spider post I have to follow with this death by bagpipes story. It's how I roll on Tuesdays.

So our family doctor was recently fired for some unknown reason. While discussing it with my wife I just mentioned how I want someone that I won't just be a number to since I will now have to go to them for my flight physicals every four years. That of course went into the you need to go every year discussion which it has not been confirmed but it is possible that I lost.
