More End Of The Week Randomocity, Again

Wow, it’s getting harder and harder (that’s what she said) to keep coming up with titles that reflect more randomocity. I tried ‘Randomocity Squared,’ ‘Hey Watch Out, Here Comes More Randomocity’ and even ‘Get Aboard The Randomocity Train Because It’s Back Again’ but they just lacked that certain something. The ‘certain something’ of course being code for ‘good’ or maybe ‘decent.’

* In my book, a good father is one who has the patience to drive around town for an hour with his girls as he tries to teach them the background vocals to ‘Midnight Train To Georgia,’ especially with today’s fuel prices! Hey wait a minute, that’s what I did. I must be a good father. Well, thank you for noticing.

* I’m trying to get the phrase ‘excuse me, I have to go x-ray my chicken’ to catch on. It sounds dirty, but it isn’t. It was part of a conversation I had. With real people. I’m thinking if done correctly it has the potential for sitcom catch phrase AND must have t-shirt fad. Wondering how big this could get? Imagine ‘who you gonna call’ combined with ‘where’s the beef.’ Yeah, THAT big. Again, that’s what she said.

* I’m worried that a coworker caught me dancing and singing to Tom Jones’ ‘She’s A Lady.’ I don’t think my excuse that it has a great beat worked very well. But it does. Whoa, whoa, whoa, but it does now. (It might work better if you are actually saying that last part to the beat of the song -- one octave lower, of course).

* Is 34 too old to be eating ice cream out of a little plastic baseball helmet with an oversized spoon while wearing a Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham t-shirt? A lot of people were staring as I walked from the concession stand back to my seat at the Angel game the other night. That’s the only reason I ask.

* ‘Good morning Daddy’ may just be the sweetest words ever in the English language. Then again, ‘cheese,’ ‘fried,’ ‘day-off’ and ‘free’ are pretty sweet too. Ok, now I’ve just diluted the original message, haven’t I?

* Is a thought really random when I sit in front of the computer for 2 hours waiting for it to come to me?

* Some day I hope to pioneer the ultimate social networking website. It will combine the best of both MySpace and Facebook. It’s current beta-title? MyFace, of course. Admit it, you saw that one coming…

* No matter how bad your work day is going, having a female coworker approach you with this question: ‘let’s say you run over a rodent-type creature with your car, what are you supposed to do,’ is guaranteed to immediately improve your day. For the record, I told her ‘well, we aren’t in the south (no offense anyone) so you can’t pull over, wrap it up and take it home for dinner, so you should call the authorities and surrender to them before they come get you at work.’ That didn’t go over very well and either will me showing up next week with recipes for cooking possum that I’m going to spend all weekend Googling.
