FUN: “Greasy Spoon” badge

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

LOL! Another meaningless inet thing.

Congrats! Your recent check-in at 29 Diner just unlocked the Greasy Spoon badge, Level 3!

Sticky vinyl booths, bottomless mugs of joe, apple pie fresh out of the display case… Does that waitress have syrup on her hairnet? Sounds like diner heaven to us. Now, treat yourself to onion rings. Or a milkshake. We suggest both.

You’ve been to 10 different diners! The next level is only 5 more new diners away! Milkshake city!

FUN: Swift gets the last laugh

Saturday, October 6, 2012

Horace Mann School for the Deaf in Allston gets a personal gift from Taylor Swift
Boston.com

The local public school made national news in August when internet trolls on 4chan and Reddit began nominating Horace Mann to win a Papa John’s and Chegg-sponsored contest that would send pop singer Taylor Swift to perform at the school with the …

You have to admit that the inet trolls have a sense of humor!

That’s “my” girl. She’ to savvy. (Or her marketing team is?) To let this “challenge” go unanswered.

I’d still suggest that she do the concert. What better way to insure she’s “america’s sweetheart”.

I wouldn’t make a big deal of it. Maybe a “surprise one” like the one at Auburn.

And it’s is close to Conor?

LOL!

(What do you want from a fat old white guy injineer with no life?)

FUN: Tongue-in-cheek advice for Taylor Swift

Sunday, August 12, 2012

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/04/advice-for-taylor-swift-for-her-romance-with-conor-kennedy.html

*** begin quote ***

Do: All the driving. Leave aside whether you believe in the mythical Kennedy Curse, thought to have plagued the family for generations. Think not of Mary Jo Kopechne, the would-be lady friend to Ted Kennedy who died at the bottom of a tidal channel in Chappaquiddick in 1969 after he took a wrong turn and drove them off a bridge. Think not of JFK Jr., who died in 1999 while piloting his own plane, taking his wife and sister-in-law with him. Think not even of Kerry Kennedy, who blamed a recent car wreck on a seizure. Teen boys are the most dangerous drivers in America, accounting for 30 percent of the total cost of motor vehicle injuries in the country. Why tempt fate? Better yet: Hire a chauffeur.

*** end quote ***

In my earlier “advice”, I was worried for “America’s sweetheart”, the poetess laureate of puberty. The Kennedy’s are not what I’d call a “model of faithfulness”. How they are labeled “Catholic” defies my common sense? But, then if I was a bishop, I’d be suing for false advertising. 

I pray that she comes through this with a worst some good song material. 

Argh!

Being an old “SWIFTIE” has its angst.
