Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked the he'd drunk more than his share
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
And he stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
He stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong a handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."
Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scotish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment, then one said "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along"
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied in to a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Ring-ding didle iidle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
Around the bonnie star the scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
"Lad, I don't know where ya been, but I see you've won first prize"
Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've won first prize.

I learned something about beer. Now mind you, when I started drinking beer, I would only drink Mich Ultra (or something equally light). But now... after my pleasant experience with Sam Adams Light, my "thirst" for knowledge is "unquenchable." *snicker...giggle* Get it? thirst? Unquenchable? hahahahahaha! I crack myself up.
Anyway... I'm going to embarrass myself in front of the experienced beer drinkers, but here goes. It's embarrassing, but I'll admit it's funny, so I'll share.
I went to purchase Guinness the other day. Now I don't drink the heavy brew (unless it's an Irish Car Bomb... riiiight... I can't sip it, but I can chug it. Makes perfect sense...). Anyway, I know very little (turns out... nothing) about it.
Hmmm... Guinness Draught (note the spelling) or Guiness Extra Stout. Err on the side of caution, and go with the Draught.
Now. How is that spelled? Hm? Would you know that it is pronounced DRAFT? Yeah, I had no idea. And when I pronounced it ever so incorrectly, I was pointed and laughed at. A lot. (I shall not mention the box incident... even I have limits when it comes to humiliating myself publicly).
I stick my tongue out at your mockery.
I have now expanded to Yuengling and Sapporo as well. I've actually had those in the past, but for the most part stuck with my "safe" Mich Ultra. They are both equally delicious. Especially with sushi.
mmmMMMM... Raw fish... In the words of Gollum (you LOTR peeps know what I mean) .... "I like em rrrraw... and wrrrrriggling!" Yummy.
Speaking of food? (when am I NOT talking about food?) BBQ the other night? HOLY LOTS OF PORK BATMAN. It was so delicious... though I don't think I can look at pork for at least a month. I ate an entire plate of it... pulled, sliced, and ribs. OH MY!
Yeah, try asking for "pork 3 ways" and NOT mocked for asking to be porked three ways. Hm.
Funny stuff...
A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an
oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. As they
stand at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter Paradise
and meet their maker, God decides to grant each person
one wish because of the grief they have experienced.
They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what
the wish is. "I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps
His fingers, and it is done.
The second one I n line hears this and says "I want to
be gorgeous too" Another snap of His fingers and the
wish is granted.
This goes on for a while with each one asking to be
gorgeous, but when God is halfway down the line, the
last guy in the line starts laughing.
When there are only ten people left, this guy is
rolling on the floor, laughing his head off.
Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what
his wish will be. The guy eventually calms down and
says:
"Make 'em all ugly again."

The Daily Crazy - March 24, 2008
*singing*
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess.
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside.
It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone...then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on.
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.
It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cos I'm still asleep.
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep
On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway.

Oh the first day at the new job. So scary! But SO exciting!! So laid back... so mellow... so... completely different from what I'm used to? Hm.
Seriously though... I'm pretty happy with my decision. At least from what I've seen so far. Oh and did I mention this place has a cafeteria? Fresh subs made right in front of you... breakfast... lunch... coffee (Starbucks baby...yeah!)... Cozy lunchroom to chill in. Fantastic. *GRIN*
I have to keep pinching myself. And keep myself from asking "what's the catch?" Oy. Let's not go THERE.
So we'll see how tomorrow goes. Today was just orientation. Tomorrow I get to meet everyone in my department, meet my desk, get the tour, etc. All the fun stuff! Then on to training. *gulp*
Well... nuff of that. Now on to another fabulous topic...
BEER.
I seriously dig a good burger and a beer. Throw smelly sauteed onions, mushrooms, cheese, and some bacon on the burger (which of course just walked up to my plate and keeled over)... greasy fries on the side... along with a frosty brew in front of me? And all is right with my world.
Now brace yourself for some mega advertising/plugging here.
I usually go for the Michelob Ultra Light (straight out of the bottle... I don't even try to pretend I'm a lady). Well... I tried a new beer this past weekend. And it was...
Sam Adams Light. YUM.
Oh stop. Yes, LIGHT. I go for the light beer or I won't be able to fit the burger and fries which are equally important (ok, beer still comes first but I want my cake and I want to eat it too... of course there is dessert after all this, duh). Beer fills you up and even though I can EAT, my belly is still a lady when it comes to the brew.
Mmmmm. Beer. Here is some good advice from the McKenzie brothers on how to score free beer. (watch Strange Brew. you will laugh. a lot.)

The Daily Crazy - March 18-21, 2008
*singing*
There were 10 in a bed and the little one said,
"Roll over! Roll over!"
Good luck getting this one out of your head. I've been humming it all week now. It creeps up on you... you won't know you're doing it until it's too late. Then... DOH!
I am thoroughly enjoying my vegging. It's fantastic... Movies, knitting, eating, reading, napping... These are a few of my favorite things. *GRIN*
However... did you ever find yourself enjoying a nice hot shower... only to run out of hot water? (who hasn't, right?) Talk about WAKE UP! That's another thing that creeps up on you. The water gradually gets colder... and you think you're just getting used to the hot water. Oh no... all of a sudden? Freezing cold water. And me screeching "Yaaa hoooo oooo ooo....!" like a cartoon character. Complete with a string of expletives that look like this... *&^% ... $#@! ... *@%$
I attempted to cook this week. You'd think with how much I love food I would do it more often. Does it count if it's out of a box? How about a can? Frozen? No? Hm.
Anyhoo... I made meatballs (yes, from scratch) that holy mackarel tasted delicious. Ever have a craving that you just have to satisfy? And how much of a let down it is if what you eat just doesn't... "do it?" Well... these "did it." Threw them in with some garlic bread and spaghetti (mixed with ricotta). DELICIOUS.
Don't worry. I stretched before patting myself on the back... so I didn't pull a muscle.
Now I'm trying to get inspired to bake. Peanut Butter Cookies. (yea-ya... WHAT?!) But my overwhelming sense of laziness is coming back.
I mean... I AM on "vacation." If you call this grace period a vacation (I most certainly do... and much needed time for sloth).
I start my new job on Monday. Oops... did I forget to mention that before? Yup. I have a new job. Super exciting! And scary. I mean... after 9 years at one place... going out into the unknown is a scary thing. But... 10 minutes from home, business casual (with jeans thrown in whenever), 10 minutes from home, a cafeteria, 10 minute drive... (seriously... it took me longer to park than it did to get there... and like two back roads with NO highway driving...). And a fabulous Italian bakery/deli right around the corner? *sigh* Note that two of these things are food related.
Off into the unknown folks. I'll sprinkle breadcrumbs so I can find my way back. And I shall, of course, want to share my adventures right here in The Daily Crazy.
Funny stuff...

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you
So long farewell, au revior auf weidersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?

I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye - goodbyyyyyyeeeee!

So long...farewell...auf weidersehen goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye....
Goodbye....
Ah yes. Time to say goodbye.
I am no longer an employee at my company. It's over, FINALLY. Off to greener pastures.
Oh! And I can finally say it...
I WIN. After many battles... I have finally won the war. The satisfaction was totally worth the stress, sleepless nights, and twitchy days.
I am now on a one week vacation where I shall... turn into a vegetable. WOOT!
And... will celebrate...
Because I am so happy, I should be doing a jig. While swinging my shillelagh and whistling a cheery little tune...
I promised that once the time was right, I would sing this song... here goes...
hem hem.
*singing* "Ding dong, the witch is dead... which old witch? ... the wicked witch.. ding dong the wicked witch is deaaaaad."
What goes around, comes around. Petty (orange) spite = a tongue stuck out, a point, and a laugh from me. Along with my loud hoot of victory. (ok, so perhaps I am stooping a little here. But come on... after the mass amounts of BS a little "blowing off some steam" should be allowed... )
Now... what to do with all this free time? You poor dears... you're probably going to be bombarded with a whole lot of crazy coming from this general direction. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Follow your heart

Let go of your mind

So that's what you gotta do. Follow you heart, your intuition, and you're going the right way. (I've already let go of my mind... *GRIN*)
This week my sanity is being tested. I feel like the strings holding it together are busting... Hear em'? *neeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr BINK!... bink bink bink!* And the last one is being tweaked... oy.
Did you ever have something you want so bad... and it's sooooo close... you can almost smell it? taste it? feel it? That's my life story right now. Soon to be mine... but just outta my grasp. *grumble... expletive*
My poor dog (Cody Bear) senses it too. He's always following me around (my shadow) but now he's practically "become one" with me. I move, he moves. I stand in front of the sink, he squeezes between me and the sink. He's brought a whole new meaning to "under foot." I have to be so careful on the stairs now. I've almost taken a few bad tumbles. *grimace* And I've stepped on him so many times I'm surprised he hasn't cut it out.
Now that's loyalty... he doesn't care what it takes to give comfort. He'd rather be stepped all over than have his momma alone and in pain. Now everyone say it.... Aaawwwwww.

Don't you wanna go for a ride -
Just keep your hands inside,
And make the most out of life.
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine,
It made a mess outta me,
It left me caught between -
Like an angry dream, I was stranded.
I was stranded.
And I'm steady, but I'm starting to shake (starting to shake),
And I don't know how much more I can take -
Well this is it, now,
Everybody get down
This is all -
I can take.
This is how a heart breaks.
You take a hit now -
you feel it,
break down.
Make you stay -
wide awake.
This is how a heart breaks.

Do you know how frustrating it is to want to talk about something, but you can't? UGH.
All I can say is... there is a battle raging folks... and I'm determined to win the war. That's all I can say.
On another subject, as for my weekend... I am heartbroken. I lost a lot of my dearest friends... My books.
I LOVE books. I love being surrounded by them. I go to Borders and I am like a kid in a candy shop... (or rather... like myself in a candy shop... hm). I can't walk out of there without spending a ridiculous amount of money so I try to limit my visits. I can read them over and over... I just love having them be mine. I guess you can call me a book collector.
My beautiful books were flooded and left to rot for a month. I had no reason to think they would have gotten wet. *sigh* And of course, all the ones ruined were my favorites... and hardcover. Old Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, Karen Marie Moning (I had her entire collection... until now)... among others. Thank GOODNESS my Harry Potter books were in a different place.
So I am devastated at the loss... but I'll just work on building up my collection again. There's always a bright side.
On another brighter note... (see?)...
I finally finished the Harley Scarf I was knitting for this Harley rider I know... ;)
I knitted it lengthwise on circular needles... for the first time ever and no mistakes! However... it is the longest scarf known to man. It was supposed to be about 5.5-6ft long and turned out to be... over 8ft long... Ooops. Careful not to get the ends caught up in the back tire! That could go wrong REAL fast...
*la la la... riding along, riding along... la la la... gaaackk!.... *&^%...rrrrrRRR!... thump... thump thump...CRASH...*

On another subject, as for my weekend... I am heartbroken. I lost a lot of my dearest friends... My books.
I LOVE books. I love being surrounded by them. I go to Borders and I am like a kid in a candy shop... (or rather... like myself in a candy shop... hm). I can't walk out of there without spending a ridiculous amount of money so I try to limit my visits. I can read them over and over... I just love having them be mine. I guess you can call me a book collector.
My beautiful books were flooded and left to rot for a month. I had no reason to think they would have gotten wet. *sigh* And of course, all the ones ruined were my favorites... and hardcover. Old Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, Karen Marie Moning (I had her entire collection... until now)... among others. Thank GOODNESS my Harry Potter books were in a different place.
So I am devastated at the loss... but I'll just work on building up my collection again. There's always a bright side.
On another brighter note... (see?)...
I finally finished the Harley Scarf I was knitting for this Harley rider I know... ;)
I knitted it lengthwise on circular needles... for the first time ever and no mistakes! However... it is the longest scarf known to man. It was supposed to be about 5.5-6ft long and turned out to be... over 8ft long... Ooops. Careful not to get the ends caught up in the back tire! That could go wrong REAL fast...
*la la la... riding along, riding along... la la la... gaaackk!.... *&^%...rrrrrRRR!... thump... thump thump...CRASH...*

The Daily Crazy - March 6, 2008
*singing*
When it's not always raining
there'll be days like this
When there's noone complaining
there'll be days like this
Everything falls into phase
like the flick of a switch
Well my momma told me
there'll be days like this
When you don't need to worry
there'll be days like this
When noone's in a hurry
there'll be days like this
When you don't get betrayed
by that old Judas kiss
Oh my momma told me
there'll be days like this
When you don't need an answer
there'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer
there'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle
start to look like they fit
Then I must remember
there'll be days like this
When everyone is upfront
and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders
out to get their kicks in
When it's nobody's business
the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember
there'll be days like this
When noone steps on my dreams
there'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean
there'll be days like this
When you bring out the changes
of how everything is
Well my momma told me
there'll be days like this
Oh my momma told me
there'll be days like this

Good grief. It's torture in this building. Two words to sum it up: Lonely & Depressing. I got up this morning, threw myself together in a semi-cheerful mood, I got here and...
All the happiness was just SUCKED right outta me. (Are there dementors around? Tee hee... Only you Harry Potter geeks know what that means *wink*)
Well... the good news is this is official decision day. The mind and heart know what they want... now just gotta get the ball rolling. PHEW! One thing checked off the list...
Holy life changes Batman.
Anyway... I have another theory I would like to share with you...
If you think about it, it counts.
Yup. You heard/read me right.
I like salad bars and buffets. A LOT. However... I'm somewhat of a germophobe. I don't even like doing my laundry at laundromats... even though the idea of the machine is to clean your clothes... the thought of my laundry touching some strangers dirty laundry? GACK.
I digress...
Even being this way... my love of food surpasses my fear of germs. And when you throw all different choices at once in front of me? And I can have a little of each? (yum yum... chinese buffet...) ... HELLO HEAVEN.
So. My theory is... if you do not think of the germs, how long the food has been sitting out (especially for salad bars), etc.... they do not exist.
This goes the other way too you know... if you think about wanting to do the laundry, it counts. At least you THOUGHT about it. The want is there... therefore that counts as effort.
Again. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Denial is a powerful medicine in such emergencies.

The Daily Crazy - March 4-5, 2008
*singing*
Look out your window
That grass ain't green
It's kinda yellow
See what I mean?
Look up your chimney
The sky ain't blue
It's kinda yellow
You know it's true
(It's so hard to figure what it's all about)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
Look down your drain pipe
What color do you see?
It's got to be yellow
Don't try to fool me
(And don't it make you wanna twist and shout)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
Be careful where you're walking
You might step in something rough
Be careful where you're talking
And saying all that stuff
Take care when you are breathing
Something's funny in the air
And some things I'm not saying
'bout what's happening out there
It's inside out
Look into the future
With your mystic crystal ball
See if it ain't yellow
See if it's there at all
(Ain't no shadow or a doubt)
(Don't it make you wanna twist and shout)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
(Inside out)
(Right side up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out

I first have to yet again apologize for bailing on everyone. Lots going on so you may see breaks here and there in the DC. But no worries. I shall be back to bore you with my silly more often than not. *GRIN*
Back to business...
I see I'm on a Wilburys kick now... though I couldn't pass it up. This is the PERFECT song for today. Don't be yellow... take a RISK. Does it make me feel like I want to explode with sheer nervous terror? Of course.
However, what risk do I take? What PATH when there are three? One is pretty demn lousy so we'll cast that aside. (that's the one in all the movies that always looks horribly scary, smells, and has mass amounts of fog and old scary trees).
Demmit three choices. Rut ro... Warning!
*singing* "Three little maids from school ARE we...."
Oh that was so mean of me.... *giggling with evil glee*
So now two... I go this way... and x... I go this way ... and y. And there are so many things (good and bad) that COULD happen either way. AAaahhhhh!!! There is a nickname for me and it is called (George) Buggin.
SHAKE IT OFF. Blah bllleeegghhh. Buururrrrrrr.... Whoosh. Mo bettah.
Ok so...
I have this theory. I recently "set up shop" in the other side of my basement. Little card table, my puter, knitting, tv, treadmill in case I feel like walking in place (*snicker*), and my dogs. Nice, isn't it?
Hm. Now we all know, from my many bug out (hahahahahah!) stories that I hate spiders. And that there are many... large, hairy, creepy beasties in my basement. So why on EARTH would I want to hang out down there?
Well... my theory. They won't come into the finished part of the basement. Nope. Why? Cuz it's finished. Carpet, walls, paint, etc. The big hairy buggers don't like that. Why? Dunno, but they don't.
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
