TICKLED TO TEARS

When's the last time somebody tickled you so hard you cried and yelled "Uncle!" Been a really long time for me. What's wrong with people anymore? Nobody tickles you after you get your driver's license and vote and shit. I, for one, could use a good tickling.

A person just can't laugh too much or too often. After my son Zog went away to college and there was just me and JuJu, she used to crawl in bed with me at night before we went to sleep and we would watch the Improv or The Golden Girls or (I swore I'd never admit this but I have nothing to lose anymore) Beavis and Butthead and we'd laugh our asses off. Yes, she probly should have been doing homework or sleeping, but I never said I was a great parent. I hope I was a fun one at least. Not like Cher in Mermaids, (was that the one?) but fun.
I've said this before, I'm not a TV watcher. It's rare if I do and it would be either Jeopardy, Everybody Loves Ray or FHV. Last night on FHV, they had vidieos just of people laughing and it was absolutely hilarious.
Does anybody remember an old Pepsi commercial with a little kid rolling on the ground with aboot ten puppies? He was giggling and giggling and it was SO cute and funny.
Maybe tell us what made you laugh the hardest lately? Keep it moderately clean.
I need help. Doing a crossword puzzle today, the clue was "Native People of Canada". Four letters.
Dana, if you like "You're Beautiful," you must get the Back to Bedlam cd. I promise, you will love it.
For anyone who didn't catch it, Blogging for Dummies is the book I got. It's over my head.
Was going to share some of the weird things I do sometimes but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. Think of some things that you do that are not the norm and we can share tomorrow, k?
STHHTMMS: Normally while in training at work, you're not allowed to have your radio/cd player. I have been experiencing serious withdrawal since I started this new job. I was told today that I can have my radio tomorrow. Aside from feeling like a small child, I AM EXTATIC! (I found a better way to spell ecstatic.) Anyway, I am happy aboot that.
GSL: " B.B. Bumble and the Stingers, Mott the Hoople, Ray Charles Singers. Lonnie Mack and Twangin' Eddy, Here's my ring, we're going steady. Take it easy, Take me Higher, Liar, liar, pants on fire. Locomotion, Poco Passion, Deep-a Purple Satisfaction, Baby Baby, got it, got it,
gimme, gimme, gettin' on it..." Why yes, of course I know all the words by heart. Bad part is, I had to sing it (outloud, mind you) aboot 14 times to get it all down here. There's more, WAY more, I just don't have time. And for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the freakin' song! Life is a rock... something? And The Radio Rolled Me? Somebody help me!

Thanks Jeff, you're more resourceful than I am. I never think to just Google things... Notice I had some of the lyrics wrong. 'Course I wasn't very old when I learned it...

What made me laugh the hardest lately? The other morning while getting ready for work, the hub pulled on a shirt and grumbled something about it being too small. He asked himself "is this an extra large..." and took the shirt back off to read the tag. "Yeah", he said reading the tag aloud, "extra large beefy tee." Apparently 'beefy' was the brand of shirt...I thought it was a description! I was on the floor laughing so hard that I was crying for at least 10 minutes. Might be one of those 'you had to be there' things....
