Me-Me's Neighborhood: O My Word!

It's been awhile since I've featured a blogger in my neighborhood. So, today is special on many levels. The most important reason is because today's featured blogger is someone I actually know, personally. It was about 15 years ago when I first met Lisa Wines here in Phoenix, we are both part of a circle of tried and true friends.

Lisa was my first. Lisa made a very bold move by taking me somewhere I had never been before.....Paris. Not literally, but through her blog. A blog? I had heard of blogs, but I had never read a blog until our dear friend Sharon insisted I sit down and read all about Lisa's latest escapade. You see, Lisa had moved to Paris the year before and began blogging her experiences as a 50-something American woman living in Paris. Let me tell you, over the years she has found herself in many interesting situations which have left me rolling on the floor, especially this post, She's Got That Look from August 2008.

About a year an a half ago, I wrote a little story and sent it to Lisa. She was very excited by my attempt to write that she encouraged me to blog. Through a series of emails she guided me through the valley of Blogger. Widget? What in the hell is a widget? With patience and love she had me up and running to where I was now exposing myself to the blogosphere. Lisa even went so far to introduce me to her neighborhood by posting a special announcement. As a result, I received several comments on my very first post. Wow! Now, how many of you had such special help? C'mon, get your hands up...that's what I thought.

No doubt, Lisa is special. Once you have visited her blog, Omyword!, it's like sitting on the sofa with a bag of Lay's, you can't read just one. Her humor is infectious and you'll find yourself wanting more. So, I ask you all to take the time today to please visit Lisa and follow her. And, while you are there, be sure to wish her a very happy birthday!

Flying The Friendly Skies

I don't know about you, but I get a lot of emails forwarded to me from friends who think I might want to publish them on my blog. To be honest, most of those emails aren't funny at all. In fact, they border on being stupid or so old of a joke you would have been living in a block of ice for the past 100 years not to have ever heard it. However, a friend did forward something to me which was funny and I hadn't heard before. So, without further ado, here goes.....

Now and then, airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight safety presentation and their other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some of the better ones that are flying around the web:

1. Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land.

2. "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines."

3. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. Whoa!"

4. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."

5. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to Chicago. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."

6. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

7. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."

8. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."

After reading through these I was reminded why I'd rather take the train. Have a great day!

Happy Easter!

Caption This! No. 37 Winner!

Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by today. A couple of days ago I mentioned that the best of the best play here. Man, I wasn't kidding...I wish I could give each and everyone of you the coveted prize for your captions this week.

The Panel definitely had a difficult decision this week and, after much deliberation, have finally decided on the winner. But, before we get to that announcement, I have several most-honorable mentions to hand out.

"Goodness, gracious...great balls of fire."

ReformingGeek said...
"I need some Ice, Ice, Baby."

Don said...
"This is why the phrase "blow me" was invented."

Kelly said...
"Just another day in Lindsay "Firecrotch" Lohan's boudoir."

Erin said...
"Their mothers' warnings about STD's went out the window, along with the condoms. With penises ablaze, the boys realized they'd better stop, drop, and roll. And get some antibiotics."

FreakSmack said...
"What a bunch of flamers!"

mac said...
"This is the normal progression. It starts with poor vision. In advanced cases, chronic masturbators are known to spontaneously combust."

Malisa said...
"Everyone in Arkansas enjoys a good wiener roast!"

We have a wiener...erm, I mean winner!

Today's winner actually submitted two really great captions, but one of them was definitely a cut above the rest. Please give a big round of applause for Tgoette because he's the one taking home The Golden Phallus today. Tgoette's blog, Sophisticated Lunacy, is one man's desperate attempt to create an amusing, entertaining and hopefully thought-provoking haven for fellow weirdos, crackpots, conspiracy theorists, alien abductees and people with a slightly twisted view on life. I'm sure you all fit into one category or another so I urge you all to stop by his place today and "follow" him.

And, now, the winning caption.....

"Trying to make the best out of a bad situation,
Clarence asked his friends if they were up for some smores."

Thank you all again for playing this week and I do hope to see you all again next week for another edition of Caption This!

Photo Booth Pranks

Okay, I'll be honest, I don't have a thing for you today other than the video below. From The Tonight Show, here's how people react to a phony talking photo booth set up at Universal Studios. Enjoy, it's really pretty funny.

It's All About.....Me!

Who else, right? I am basking in bloggy love this morning because yesterday was such a stellar day. I swear, it just doesn't get much better than this. Please, allow me to explain.

First, I was checking in over at facebook. Okay, you caught me, I was signing on to FarmVille when I noticed I had a message in my inbox which read, YOU WON! I won? Holy crap, I won! I opened the message and discovered I had won the contest giveaway held by Proof Positivity over at My Thoughts Always. Wooo-hooo!

Winner, winner, skillet dinner! Here it is, folks. I won a 3-quart-covered iron skillet made by Bayou Classics and compliments of csn stores.com. I can't wait to received this beauty and to get down to some really serious cooking. There's something about cooking in an iron skillet that just makes the food taste better. Move over Mario Batali, there's a new Iron Chef in town.

Then I was reading the hilarious captions you all had submitted for this week's Caption This! I have to say, when it comes to captioning contests, the best-of-the-best play here. Anyway, I noticed on one of the submissions this addendum from Lizzy and Elle over at Sex N Fries, "Congrats on winning this week". What, I won? Holy Mother of blog awards, I won their Top Blog award!

And, while I was still on Cloud 9, I discovered another award was waiting for The Screaming Me-Me!!!, the Bom-Chicka-Wah-Wah award. Lizzy and Elle are two very busy ladies. Not only do they publish Sex n Fries, but they also have a community of bloggers who gather at The Social Club. Haven't joined yet? Well, get yourself over there and join the fun!

See what I mean? What a great day! I would like to thank Proof Positivity, Lizzy and Elle for truly making my day. It just doesn't get much better that this.

Now, it's time for me to now get my Twitter on. That's right, it's tweet thursday. All you have to do is leave a comment below and I will tweet your latest post. Simple as that.
