FUN: My paradigm shift at the recent wedding as I was taught a new wedding meme
Monday, April 30, 2012Went 2 THAT wedding Saturday.
“We’ll see if I have the charm of my younger days and some beautiful young thing finds me young, thin, handsome, AND irresistible.”
… to my Russian co-worker, who wanted to schedule an early Monday meeting. She looks at me in her deadpan style mitt the thick accent and replies: “I C U. I schedule Monday meeting at 8!”.
After the rehersal dinner, as the Father of the Bride and I were leaving together, three “young” (30-ish) expressed graphically some interest. They must have been querying my “older” friend cause they couldn’t a been talking to me. Outside he and I got a lotta yucks out of that one. I have to go back to repentance again. I’m not sure who exactly came up with the very uncharitable comments — ‘Melanie Griffith” (our code for “Looks like a Working Girl”), “everyone is beautiful at closing time”, and particularly Not Zen like “that 1,000 mile journey can be seen on the your wrinkles”. And those were the bloggable ones.
At the reception, I got razzed about two female guests who expressed interest. One was just a “lost soul” and the other was on the hunt. Thanks to the Sister of the Bride’s Mother, who threw a key block to spring the running buck (me) to complete my run to the door. Yep, still got it. Yeah, I know. All it was, was that I was alive. ROFL!
And, thanks to the Husband of Bride’s Mom’s Sister, who thought it was hysterical to do something like “Hey have you met my friend John” every time “the tigress” cruised by our table. Glad to know my discomfort was SO entertaining. He was just paying me back for scaring him that my “reading” was really four pages long. He thought I was announce my run for Pope. It was a short reading that I reprinted and corrected. (Yeah, a fat old white guy injineer correcting spelling. What’s next? “CHURCH 10●19●62” wins a Pulitzer? More likely a “pull it sir; it blocking real books”!) Maybe I should HAVE read it as written originally from the Bride: “Don Ho Hot Love”! ROFL!!!
Sigh!
Oh well, on to work tomorrow. My Russian co-worker was correct. I’ll be back to the “fun” tomorrow.
If I survive the Beltway traffic?
# – # – #
I survived.
The paradigm shift: SOME women saw me as “available”. And, at least, two made no bones about it.
The meme shift: Gone are the days when I can just go to a wedding and relax. Now I know how the chicken feels being chased around the barnyard.
Thanksgiving prayer: Thank you Universe for not making me, or letting me, do a “face plant” on the way to or from that sky platform.

FUN: Evaluating Taylor Swift as Sandy version 2.0
Monday, April 30, 2012Overheard: Taylor Swift should star in a ‘Grease’ remake
CNN (blog)
Lately, I’ve thought Taylor Swift could probably [play Sandy], because she’s very talented. And my daughter, I’ve always thought she could.” What do you think of the idea of a “Grease” remake? And do you agree that Taylor Swift would be a good pick?

Overheard: Taylor Swift should star in a ‘Grease’ remake
*** begin quote ***
It’s probably only a matter of time before “Grease” joins “Footloose” and “Dirty Dancing” as classic films being remade for a new generation, and Olivia Newton-John knows it.
The 63-year-old actress told “Showbiz Tonight’s” A.J. Hammer that she’s not opposed to the idea of a “Grease” remake, and even has an idea on who could star in her role as Sandy:
{Extraneous Deleted}
*** end quote ***
# – # – # – # – #
63? She can’t be. She’ll always be that demur timeless “Debbie Reynolds as Tammy” girl who morphs into one hot “every boy’s fantasy”. If she is 63, what does that make me? OLD!
And, I just realized I missed my chance (in my dreams) to win her heart!
Argh!
I would advise Ms. Swift — as if she needs advice from a fat old white guy injineer — to be very careful. I believe that she can pull off the role of pre-transformation tightly-emotially-wrapped Sandy with ease. BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), she might need a body double to out “hot” Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy as the more-tightly-physically-wrapped “trampy” vamp. I think that would be hard to beat. Boob job or not!

FUN: Understanding Engineers
Monday, April 23, 2012Understanding Engineers
Is it possible to understand Engineers. They are strange, you know!
(Joke #1)
Understanding Engineers #1
Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?” The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and said, “Take what you want.” The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”

Anyone NOT heard this one?

FUN: Early morning wakeup
Saturday, April 21, 2012“Thanks, construction workers, for the <Expletive Deleted> 0530 wakeup call!”, thought Grumpy on Saturday morning.
(How kool is that referring to myself in the Third Person. Makes me feel more of like a writer than a mere blogger.)
After I was up from ~0200 to ~0400 with “the baby”, who couldn’t sleep.
(That’s me again in the third person. That’s how I think on myself when I can go back to sleep after a bad dream, on of any innumerable WC visits thanks to the Rx diuretic, or when I get the “next great idea” like online backup.)
It was really OK. Really.
See the Verizon phone doesn’t know the diff between workday weekday and weekends. Probably the kids in China who build and programmed the phone don’t have weekends off.
So the 0530 call was followed by Verizon’s 0600, 0615, and 0630 alarms.
(The 0600 is the worst. Reveille! For a minute, I think I’m back in basic. And I couldn’t find the phone so I had to hear it twice. How did it get under the bed? Hiding from the “dancing girls” that were in last night. In my dreams.)
Followed the corporate Berry’s at 0730. (I know where that was hanging from it’s charger in the kitchen. If it does get it’s full charge, it dies during the day and then the battery needs to be replaced. (Great engineering guys in China!) Which means I have to walk it two buildings over to “support”. (Boy, do I miss Wall Street. “Yes, Mister Reinke, sorry you’re having a problem. I send someone to replace it immediately. Is he there yet?”)
So, I’ll just say my “child like” prayer for all the people I’ve just maligned.

FUN: ‘The Proof of Innocence’
Tuesday, April 17, 2012Science ‘The Proof of Innocence’: Read the Math Problem That Got One Man Out of a Traffic Ticket
Posted on April 16, 2012 at 11:04am by Liz Klimas
*** begin quote ***
University of California-San Diego physicist Dmitri Krioukov was pulled over and issued a ticket for running a stop sign. While many wouldn’t go through the hassle of actually fighting this ticket in court, Krioukov is an exception — and he came prepared. io9 reports that he presented a mathematical paper to prove his innocence, aptly named “The Proof of Innocence,” and convinced the judge of his case.
*** end quote ***
Yea!
Defeat the man.
Now can all the people who paid a ticket for the same thing get their money back?
Yeah, right!
Like that’s ever going to happen.
Sigh!

FUN: Poking fun at the President
Sunday, April 15, 2012Here’s some spam from Evy’s High School chum that imho is worth forwarding with suitable editorial comment.
*** begin quote ***
———- Forwarded message ———-
From: Karen

Subject: Where to Put # 44
Where to put president #44
Where, oh where — to put Obama’s picture.
George Washington, our nation’s first president and leader of the American Revolution!
Abe Lincoln, honorable leader who pulled our nation through its darkest time!
Alexander Hamilton, founding father, first Secretary of the Treasury and leader of the constitutional convention! >>>>>>>>
Andrew Jack son, “Old Hickory ” fought the British in New Orleans!
Ulysses Grant, Union army general, led the North through the Civil War!
Ben Franklin, genius inventor, political theorist and leading author of the Constitution.
Finally, we have someone to put on the food stamp!!!
Obama’s policies have put more people on welfare than any president before him, so this placement is most appropriate.
Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, for which he did nothing, this is an “honor” he richly deserves.
*** end quote ***
I agree with Washington, by far, with some pimples, imhothe BEST president. At least in his first term; later on, not so much.
I’m OK with Grant; a good ordinary joe.
Ditto Jackson; anybody who shoots the guy who insults his wife is OK in my book.
Franklin should have been a prez since anyone who likes turkeys is OK with me.
Lincoln is my worst!
Hamilton, if he had been Prez, would be in my third tier(i.e., worse-est, worse-er, and just plain worse). No doubt the folks at the FED like this since AH wanted a Federal Reserve cabal back in his time. It took Wilson to sell us out to the Big Banks. And sneakily put us in WW1 and on the road to empire.
It’s funny to put BHO44 on the food stamp, but that honor should belong to FDR. He put the nation on the dole, perminently put us on the road to Socialism and hell, all while corruptly sneakaly and with malice aforethought putting us in WW2.
imho

FUN: Went “shopping” today and my expertise was essential
Saturday, April 14, 2012Mario Junior, my FACETIME buddy, — he FACETIMEs me after work and chats about his day while his parent are shocked to find us chatting — went shopping for his Communion suit. Thrilling.
But!
Mom was planning a blue suit, white shirt, and BROWN shoes.
Both the male salesman and I convinced Mom that black shoes with laces was required.
She conceded.
Amazing!
A fat old white guy injineer giving fashion advice!
The world is going to end!
The Mayans were wrong; the world will end tomorrow. The Universe’s problem has been solved. The Karmic wheel has been stopped. Occam’s razor went dull.
Injineers have finally evolved to the final stage of Nirvanah.
Dispensing fashion advice!

FUN: Taylor Swift wins twice
Monday, April 2, 2012Stayed up too late, two nights in a row.
Saturday night, watch FLOTUS present Ms. Swift with the “Big Help” award. The two were obviously fans of each other.
(But I did think the acceptance speech was awkward, but heart felt. Maybe the little girl is growing up and can’t just wing it anymore.)
(Yeah, I know. No life watching the slime show.)
I thought FLOTUS was a good sport when the slime flew. Some commenters on the UK site thought she was the devil incarnate. Fair’s fair. While I don’t like her politics, she did well inspiring little kids. And I heard nothing political in her words. And, it seemed like her girls were having a ball.
Sunday night, ACM entertainer of the year (again). (She owes it all to Meridith the cat. That probably sent all the tweens and teens to voting.) Sad that she was dateless. But she showed real class with her “shout out”.
(It’s reported that she’s promised to make it up to the sick young man in the hospital. I bet it’s even better than the ACMs.)
So other than admitting I have no life. It was two fun evenings.
(Who else could be “entertainer of the year” when she blew them all away in dollars earned?)
Oh well, what will she accomplish next?
(And, she was a knock out. Eat your heart out all the dumb guys who let her get away. Good jokes about “Denver sacrificing a virgin” and Swebow on the ACM.)
