Through Being Cool

This post is in: 

It was sunny this afternoon so we went to rails to trails, and after Lily went to the bathroom for the eighth time, I caught myself singing:

“La-di dadi, we like to potty.
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody.”

I’m sure Slick Rick would kill himself if he heard me.

With FSM as my witness, I used to be cool. I swear.

Consider this an open thread, as I’m going out for dinner.

    Actually, I think Slick Rick would be pretty happy that his lyrics stuck with a tragically unhip honkey from West Virginia.

    But seriously, John, if I knew it was going to be this kind of thread I would have stuck my dick in the mashed potatoes.

    That’s one high tech rails-to-trails you have there. The “bathroom” euphemism has always been annoying to me. Why not “… Lily relieved herself for the eighth time.” But then, I’m dyspeptic, curmudgeonly, and off color. Deal with it.

    Now you understand why new parents talk about poop all the time. When you’re dealing with a non-verbal life form, poop becomes a very important barometer of their overall health.

    Yes. We have one for Eve and it rocks hard. She did her first pout when we took her out of it this evening. We’re packing it in our suitcase for our trip to the US next week.

    Chillingly, she also stood up for a full ten seconds without support this afternoon, and tried to take a step towards me. Shortly thereafter Mr Jud went out and bought a child gate. I have a feeling she’s going to skip the crawling business.

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. The “tea baggers” don’t even know what they are arguing for or against. Many are seniors fighting against government-sponsored health care. Most probably stopped and had a government-sponsored check-up, after which they stopped at the pharmacy and got subsidized medicines, after which they stopped and picked up their signs from people who are secretly working against their own interests.

    Maybe I will cry. Or like John, just sing….And pee.

But most of the time she seemed to say whatever she thinks the truth was or should be – whether or not it has any relationship to the actual truth. At those times you could kind of see via body language that she was lying. She’s a good liar though – in the sense that she does it so well many people would be fooled.

    Well, we’ve argued before and let’s say I tried once before and he took offense.

    His dad owns an importing business. They are very rich and I know he will say his dad does create jobs with imports. I grew up around a lot of people like this where their parents made millions on a patent, idea, etc. Most of the kids I grew up with (I am in my 40s fyi) who had money do nothing. They party all night and sleep all day when they aren’t out buying shit.

    He’s a Republican because, no shit, they “don’t want to take my money”. I joke they sure want to SPEND it! He hates abortion as he’s a Catholic.

    A bum once walked up to us outside a restaurant. The man was clearly destitute. I gave him a dollar. This acquaintance told him to go find help then griped to me that these people should be locked away. I laugh and say they were before Ronnie Raygun let them all out.

    The problem here is that these people live in rarified air. He’s a “friend” but not somebody I invited to my wedding or to get togethers. I go out once in awhile to have lunch since he does pay (hehe, why not?). I do it to listen to heartless idiots ramble on about why it’s tough to be rich in America. It gives me fodder to argue with idiot teabaggers who think ONE DAY they will be rich too.

    My acquaintance/semi-friend is a dying breed. Many rich folks I knew in the late 90s early 00s are now broke or downsizing.

    You and me both, I have never understood it. The English of course always use “going to the loo” or “the toilet” the Americanism of “going to the bathroom” leads to some absurd comments, one of which I remember reading in the Guardian a million years ago when an American guest asked for directions to the bathroom and was given them, whereupon the guest returned quite puzzled and said “excuse me but there is no bathroom in the bathroom” (the loo was separate from the place where one took a bath).

    For the sake of brevity I prefer “go pee”

    I think “stop” is perhaps a little optimistic, “slow down” might be more accurate. It helped that his principal and his “personal” nurse and “personal” NP were in the room when the doctor visited. They heard every word and he had no way of parsing what the Dr. said. Added to that the fact that just taking a shower and a shave this morning wore him out he realized that he is not superman, and this heart attack might take a bit more getting over than he first thought while lying in a bed pumped full of drugs.

    He has also admitted that his diet has seriously got to change. I think “wake up call” is an understatement at this point.

    @Violet:

    i just watched pieces of the interview with Oprah on the Huffington Post. She is so self-absorbed. She basically wants us to understand how wonderful, thoughtful, bright, and empathetic she is.

    When she talks about her decision to have her child with special needs, she fails to acknowledge that while she has all the resources any person would want, others do not and make their decisions accordingly.

    While she is on her book tour, or her tour of Asia, etc, who is taking care of Trig? Or her other children? Clearly not her. Is she slepping her children around the US, or is she leaving them with others?

    Maybe this explains why her high school aged child had a child and is seemingly on her own to figure out what to do.

    Family values are great when you have others taking care of the family.

    Her only value is doing what she believes is best for Sarah…

    Ironically,

    I got stuck on the level called “Woverines!”

    I had to laugh at the ridiculousness and the ingenuity of Infinity Ward’s writers and designers. Russians invade the country and you protect a VIP. Your 4 or 5 strongholds that you must capture and hold are a Taco Bell, a KFC, a Burger King, and an Applebees.

    Gawd Bless America.

    @Max:

    I also thought her hair looked weird. And, really with all the verbage that comes out of her mouth, she essentially says nothing — i mean really nothing of substance. Just on and on and on about nothing. And, more of nothing….And, yet she has a platform. She gets 5 million for a book of nothing, a book tour of nothing, and she represents the party of nothing.

    Yet, Oprah still asks if she considers running in 2012. We can only hope…

    @jeffreyw: You know, I was gonna get all pissy because there were no food pr0n pics. Good thing I read most of the thread first. That crab rangoon…TO DIE FOR! If you notice a bunch more comments from deliquescentdreams, you’ll know why.

    @Litlebritdifrnt: YAY! Glad to hear that hubby is home. What a relief!

    @Betsy: Aw, sucky. It’s part and parcel of the job hunt, but still sucky. Sending you lots of ‘get the damn job’ vibes.

    By the way, I’ve never been cool, so I have no problems with my current lack of coolness. And, I am trying to go for 24 hours without listening to a depressing song. To that end, I have listened to David Bowie’s Modern Love approximately eleven billionty times, and I am currently doing the same to this song. Talk about uncool!

    So I just learned today that Facebook supports the Konami code.

    More interestingly, when pointing that out to a friend (a geek), he had no idea what I was talking about. Somehow, that fucker managed to make it this far through life without playing Contra on the NES.

    Honestly, I don’t know what to say here…

    Remember when cars were darn near half a block long?
    Parents were so into that crap
    Bunch a sweet memories to us older rap cats
    Muhammad Ali knuckling in tournaments
    Pimp daddy hats with buckles and ornaments

    Way late to the thread, but my first dog did the same thing to me. I turned into THAT dog owner. It’s embarrassing, but I can’t help it.

    Very Johnny-come-lately to the thread, but I’m astounded this hasn’t been mentioned yet.

    “La-de-da-di” is a classic by Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew. MC Ricky D was a member of said Crew who later gained notoriety as Slick Rick. Slick Rick’s big hit was “Children’s Story.”

    Sheesh, I’m old.
