Shit I Almost Forgot

As I was catching up on blog reading (something I forgot to mention in my previous post that I am behind in that is stressing me out), Alex's recap of BlogHer Day Two reminded me that I failed to pimp my blog. I tried. I tried really hard, even coming up with an awesome tagline thanks to Karrie ("Because life is hairy" - ha! that kills me), but only succeeded in temporarily removing my sidebar. Next year, I am going to physically pimp my blog MTV-style by covering it in pink fur and added diamond-encrusted wheels. It could be a crafts workshop or something. Tricking my laptop out is far more achievable than fixing my blog template, as the most important thing I learned during the pimping session is that Blogger does not want you to fuck with their preset templates and makes it damn near impossible for a fiddler like me to do so. So it goes.

The other shit I almost to forgot to mention was the most ludicrous bumper sticker I ever laid eyes on. Now, I've some some puzzling bumper stickers in my 31.5 years on this earth. (Most recently, those tend to say things like "Bush/Cheney 2004," but I digress.) This bumper sticker said, "If you are tailing* gonna ride my ass, pull my hair." What the fuck does that mean? I do not get it at all, but in the absence of context, I assume it is in support of unshaved snatch. Or something. If anyone has a clue, please share. (What's weirder is that I saw this car near the airport, then a few days later saw the same Sphinx car near my parents' abode. What are the odds of that?)

My final pearl of wisdom/nugget of wit that I felt the internets needed to hear involves Husband. My dad, Granny, and I were on our way back from breakfast (in which both Bubbe and Granny shockingly behaved well and did not traumatize Super Des, so now I hope she does not think that I make all up all my crazy stories about them - I do have other witnesses, just in case, some who are not related to me by blood or marriage) and we were discussing the impending nuptials of Brother-in-Law and Future Sister-in-Law, for which the whole mispuchah (that's clan to you non-Yiddish speakers) will be journeying to the New York City area. I mentioned that FSIL will be 30 in March, but BIL is only gonna be 27 in May.

"Oh, he's a cradle robber!" Granny squealed in delight.

"So is Suzanne," Dad said. "What are you, seven months older than Husband?"

"It's true," I admitted. "I was a baby wise to the ways of the world before he even opened his newborn eyes."

Damn, I crack myself up.

*Thank you, Missy, for your correction.

  1. If you are tailing my ass, pull my hair."
    It refers to doggie style sex, I think. where the do-er yanks the do-ee's hair. Some people like that.

  2. That makes sense. Wow, I am really naive sometimes.

    I would really love a bumper sticker that says "If you're going to drive up my ass, please use a condom." Unlike the other bumper sticker, that is hilarious.

  4. I think the origional line was, "If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair". It is indeed a refference to doggie style. Hope this helps!!

  5. I totally agree with missy. It is "ride", not "tail'.

  6. Maybe just a very small bumpersticker with the KY jelly logo?

    And as for pimping your blog - you could give out fur trimmed panties.

  7. One of my favorite bumperstickers (and I have a list...) is:

    Save a tree, wipe your ass with an owl.

    Crude? Yes. Funny? Yep!

    I also have a list of funny t-shirts I have enjoyed. I lead a sad and pathetic life. Glad you had a great time at Blogher!
    (BTW:my verification was "jisym" HA....how fitting)

  8. I loved breakfast with the fam. I have a new adopted Granny, and I saw the scowl on Bubbe's face which is enough to picture certain... comments.
