P Is for Puns
Yep, I’m behind again folks, had an all hands on deck thing going on here yesterday followed by me not being in the wood to write anything. I did read some good stuff though so thanks to all of you who kept up.
Pun’s are something I’m rather fond of. I’ve never been terribly good at them for some reason but I like them. Some are better then others of course, the running joke in my house is I’ll make a pun, or what I think may be one and then say “Is that a Dad Joke”. Usually not, but when it is I get High Fives.
While some dad jokes are puns not all puns are Dad jokes. That being said I invite you all to join a Facebook group I’m in. I do this for you… They make me laugh and I start my day with a cup of coffee and some Puns. So click the link and ask to join, cracks me up everyday. Right now we need all the laughter w can get.
Old Skool – An A to Z Challenge post.
Yep, that’s right an Old Skool Blog… errr, wait not. This is the same software I’ve been using the entire time, so maybe not. Granted it’s been re-themed once or maybe twice, and honestly I still think I liked the first theme I used the best, but it was retired. So no Old Skool there. OH here I know and Old Skool Rap song should do it for this one. I could have gone with MC Hammer, or Run DMC, the Beastie Boys… but, well its a One Hit Wonder, Old Skool and will stick in your head for certain.
What today has really come down to is this though. we just ran out of propane (Laugh). We have a propane fueled kitchen stove because of Hurricane Season, nice to be able to cook. But, oppsie, we weren’t paying attention so we shall be kicking it old skool. Well, maybe not but I am considering just cooking over a firepit in the back tonight. Sure we have a BBQ grill and all, but I kinda of feel like having a big ol fire… well alright not big really since it’s a firepit. Here is the problem though My fire pit, well the bottom fell out of it, had a small little happy fire there in the pit singing and dancing as only fire can when suddenly **POOF** the bottom falls out of the thing. It wasn’t a very good fire pit it seems. Also had to run for the hose quick, cause, well FIRE! (laugh)
What will likely end up happening though is this, I’m going to go and make some stew in the crockpot while listening to Old Skool rap since that will keep everyone away from me. Just have to find my ear plugs 🙂
A to Z Challenge –
Nothing to see here, Move along. Well that isn’t precisely correct. Plenty of things here to see. Weirdness, wonder, and well… more weirdness usually. But since this isn’t supposed to be a blog post about the letter “W” I suppose i shall have to switch over to the letter “N”.
As I said above though… I haven’t any ideas on what to write. It’s much later today then I usually do this part of the challenge. So I sit here, at my desk with my coffee and for some reason “Glee” playing in the background. Which is distracting because I think it’s funny. The girls are watching it, pretty far in with the Netflix binge watching.
So there we go lets do that My Netflix binge watching habits (laugh). No we all have that going on, but… a few for you nice reading folks.
1. Gilmore Girls
2. The West Wing
3. Agent’s of Shield
4. Lucifer
5. Supernatural
6. Grace and Frankie
7. The Witcher
8. The Punisher
9. Stranger Things
10. The Good Place
There you have it, My odd choices on Netflix. Now, if any of you have a show you’ve watched again and again, please share. West Wing and Gilmore girls I can read the dialogue as I watch I’ve seen them so many times. I could use some new stuff 🙂
A to Z Challenge Letter M – MAGIC… Maybe.
Good morning everyone. I am currently 100% complete on visiting each and every blog on The A to Z Challenge master list. I found some new places, visited old friends and had a pretty fun day doing it. Once I got rolling I spent the day after the “L” post just visiting and reading. I have to tell you there are some fantastic blogs out there, with topics I wouldn’t have though I could be interested in, but was. I can tell you all I didn’t think I would do it but I was determined to try and today, well, everything came together for me.
SO! Here we go with the Letter “M ” for Magic… Maybe.
I frequently describe things as being magic, or witchcraft, if it’s something involving cloud storage or the internet I’ll go to Voodoo as the descriptive term. I think we have, as a society, gone well past the point of being a sufficiently advanced technology.
I’m not saying all of us don’t understand some things, but none of us understand everything. I’ll give you some examples of every day things I don’t understand.
- When I wake up, how is it that I know if there is, or is not, a dog where I am about to put my feet as I get out of bed? Come on now that’s pretty important, stepping on a dog is mean.
- When browsing my list of recommendations on Netflix, how does it know that of all the bad movie choices I could make Dog Soldiers would be at the top?
- How do Spiders always know which room my wife is in?
- How do pens work, and why do they sometimes not work when they obviously still have ink in them.
- Why not just use a pencil.
- How do the “You are here” maps in malls work? Are they spying on me?
- When I go online to look something up how does it always know the other things I would be interested in?
- Sometimes my Wife and I have a conversation we know nothing about later?
- How did David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear? (Mad now don’t do a search)
- How is it we have access to so much, yet understand so little?
Alright, so some of those were silly. That is going to have to be ok though. We really don’t understand how things work in the world we live in anymore. We know they do work, we use them every day, even take them for granted but on average we are clueless. I couldn’t tell you, not really, how a computer works. I can fix them, both hardware and software but It’s really just swapping parts. I certainly couldn’t build a CPU. Same goes for a Cell Phone, Microwave, Digital clock or even an electric toothbrush (some are bluetooth capable).
I’m pretty sure the whole world runs on magic, maybe. how about you?
