Friday News and Views

This post is a compilation of random conversations, thoughts and news. For all of you Chicken lovers out there, this next bit is for you:

Funny #1
You all know about H3.2's adventures with his Corvette. When I got done talking to him on Wednesday I explained the problems to Chicken.

Chicken: Well what about the banana law?

Sam: (trying not to fall on the floor laughing) It's the LEMON law baby. Lemons... they leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Chicken: Yeah, bananas aren't sour.

Funny #2
Chicken missed the school bus Thursday morning because his head was buried in a Party Lite catalog. For those of you that are not familiar with such a thing, think candles and candle holders. Random child. Very random. On the way to school, he had a few things to say:

Chicken: You know how in regular cafeterias you go up and order whatever you want? Like meat balls and spaghetti? What if one day you walked up, ordered noodles and turkey and corn and the cafeteria lady pulled up her shirt and gave you PORN instead of corn?

Sam: Ew. Gross, do you really want to see a cafeteria lady's boobs?

Chicken: (laughing) NO!!

Old Person Comment #1
Later during the ten minute car ride he says:

Chicken: You know the new kid that I have become friends with? Well, I'm not so sure about him anymore. He has this really competitive side to him.

I'm wondering at this point exactly how old this child is and where he came from... luckily we pull up at his school and I sent him off to another day in fourth grade.

News

My father is reading this blog!

What does this mean to you, dear reader and what of the fate of this vulgar blog? The blog isn't changing one bit. Since my dad is 700 miles away I don't get to see him as much as I want to, and although we email every day I wanted to give him a peek into my life and brain (or lack thereof). My dad is the one person that I am related to that I think really knows me. You know how your family usually knows a part of you, but not the whole deal? Because HOLY SHIT if they only knew they would have a heart attack and die RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Well I believe that my dad knows me, and he has loved me through thick and thin. Even when I have totally fucked up he has been there for me. So, to my Dad: Thank you and I love you. To my readers, "Gramps" is in our midst. He's a dirty old man so he should fit in quite nicely with the likes of you! No editing or censoring is needed. Have a great weekend, and I'll be posting more Sam's Stories soon.

Update
I am starting to get more damn spam on my blog. I do not want to turn off anonymous commenting because my buddy Cathi would not be able to comment, as well as other random people out there. I really hate that word verification crap, because for some reason it is really hard for my brain to process and I don't want to make anyone else go through that misery. What do I do?! Argh!!

I recommend going to Haloscan.com. Very stable, no verification, and no Blogger issues. Downside-I think you'll lose your prior comments, though there may be a workaround for that--you might ask other Haloscan users about that.

Hi, Gramps! Welcome to the neighborhood!

I love Chicken's corn/porn thing. LOL.
I'm facing the same dilemma with the spam. I guess a new post triggers it because that's when I get it. I don't like the word verification thing and I have to leave anon. comments on because that's how my family comments, so I just keep deleting the spam, except for the funny ones, I got one on "colon cleansing" yesterday on my other blog. I left it because I thought it was funny.
BTW, thanks for the comment yesterday. LOL. You're awesome.

That's so cool about your dad reading your blog. I'm real close with my dad, but I'm very hesitant to tell him about my blog.

if you go to Haloscan - you can lose all of your current comments - so be very careful first, unless you don't care about losing your comments :) Did I tell you I used to sell PartyLite and they're the only candles we burn? Weird.

Wow, lots of things to comment on - but first, Sam, I will be reading - between your brain strain and mine,
I know that :)

Welcome Dad - You've got
an awesome daughter who
actually cares about people as is evident by
worrying about other people
and their feelings in this
world. Congrats, plus Sam
has quite a sense of haha,
and that is a wonderful gift as well.

Last, but not least, Dad
and Daughter - how wonderful it is to have
such an open relationship
especially as I type this
underneath me is written
sams liquor
ball sack
lovely legs
cat fight sex
sam is gay

that you embrace each other
as you are.

I said the last but not least, but actually, how
can I not mention that I
am loving the memories, Sam, that you are creating
for your Chicken to read,
no matter what.

Bottom line, do what you have to do to make your
blog spamdamnit! free.

You're a good one, Sam.

Your buddy,

Cathi

I LOVE Party Lite stuff! I just ordered a bunch of halloween and christmas stuff this week, how funny is that?

To Chicken: NEVER CHANGE! LOL

To Sam's Dad: Welcome!

Oh! Edana at barefootbloggin.blogspot.com has Haloscan AND blogger comments, you could keep your old blogger comments, turn blogger comments off on new posts and have only Haloscan on new Posts. I think. Damn, I just confused myself. Anyway, Edana may be able to help you!

I love that your dad reads this. I told my Dad all about mine, but he isn't online.

Funny, I keep it a secret from the husband!

Firstly, I have fallen for Chicken in a big way since you have introduced me to him. He is precious!!

HI Gramps, your welcome to visit me too if you would like!

I am considering turning off that damn verification crap myself, I have trouble even making my own comments on my blog. I seem to get the worst combo's and it screws w/my mind. (my blog & others) I think the DELETE button may work best and much quicker!

Thanks for everything, you know what I mean. Hopefully I can catch up soon at least on several. Take care and know someone understands and is here for you!! (smiling)

Please, I beg. No word verifyer... if I can keep up with the spammers, so can you. :-)

Blogger Sam said...

Everyone- I'm overwhelmed with stuff right now, so here's a big THANK YOU for all the sweet comments and welcoming of my dad to the blog.

I've decided to NOT do word verification. If the spam becomes too much of a pain in my ass, I'll go to Haloscan. The word verificiation is so damn hard for me on other blogs, I can't do it to myself on my own blog (or you guys). Thank you all for the input about commenting on my blog and your views on my posts.
