The Daily Crazy - January 23, 2008

*singing*
Ill tumble 4 ya
Ill tumble 4 ya
Ill tumble 4 ya
Ill tumble 4 you
- Culture Club (Tumble for You)

I know... this song is just MEAN. but .... muhaha... muhahaha... muhahahahahahahaha!

It's one of those where you don't really know the rest of the lyrics either.... so you keep singing the same four lines over... and over... and over... Good grief I'm horrible. *snicker... giggle*

So I finished my "fun" scarf!! Here are some pictures... what happened is I didn't realize the light blue and taupe were gonna knit so skinny... then the white knitted KAPOW!... puffy. I decided to run with it anyway.

The blue and taupe actually have little silver bits in them too (reminds me of tinsel). Verra sparkly. Verry purty. I'm diggin' it. The pictures make the blue look kind of like mint green... it's actually a baby blue. Really pretty!

The only bad part is I ran out of white on the one side... so the block is about half the size of the one on the other side. (I cheated when I took the picture... *sheepish grin*) But no big. The scarf is for me so I'll deal. Though every time I look at it I'll probably beat myself up about it... I'm my own worst critic!

Funny stuff...
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In
order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to
purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I
decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul
it home."

The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides
she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no
less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her
sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph
office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her
that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer
to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."

The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then
adds, it will cost 99 cents a word." Well, after paying for the bull,
the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one
word.

After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, "I want you to send
her the word "comfortable."

The operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you
want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to
haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word
"comfortable?"

The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde. The word is big. She'll read
it very slowly.. "com-for-da-bul."

Wowsa...my Great Niece is a GREAT Knitter and scarf designer!!!

Beautiful scarf!!!

I'm knitting one too..but mine isn't as purdy as yours. I'm just doing the knit 2 purl 2 in boring old Alpaca off white.

I'll bet you already know how to wear it - fold it by putting the two ends together, put it around yer neck, then put the loose ends through the loop? It's a cool look. :o)
