A Hairy Situation

-
I'd like to blog every day but funny doesn't happen all the time. And it rarely happens on this blog.

Question of the week - Am I the only person in America who doesn't know what a merkin is? I was listening to a radio show on the way to work where a reference was made to a "pet merkin". I thought it is was something like a ferret. Oh sure, there are similarities, but they are definitely not one in the same.

It's 9:30. I should be in bed and not sitting on the couch Googling merkin.

You know, there is actually a vineyard by that name. Can you imagine the wine tastings?
"Excuse me, but I think there is something floating in my drink."
"Oh, yes, we know. 1992 was an especially good year for merkins. Slight acidity with just a hint of apricot and melon."

See, I told you funny doesn't happen every day.

Addendum:
If my profile pic somehow gets associated with the search result for merkin (as it did for world's largest kielbasa) I'm deleting this post.

Addendum 2: Typos from last night have been corrected. Pay attention to dtail CJ, pay attentin.

There was a big "stink" the last week about a Celebrity wanting to make/market her own merkins made from Fox fur.

PETA jumped all over that one.

What prompted your wanting to know in the first place?! Are you "props" shopping again on QVC??

I will be needing to know about those Laine won't I? My interested originated on the drive to work while listening to that radio program. But I now see it was a sign of things to come. Maybe I should have had the mug labeled with Merkin Manger?

Hey Diva! Kids know what this is? Oh boy am I out of the loop. I need my own copy of Urban Dictionary.

Take heart, CJ, I did not know what a merkin is. Now, sadly, I do. I don't know what the current mania to groom the kitty is all about, but it is too funny that actresses have to augment their goddess-given bush to appear 'authentic' in movies. What a world.

Tara I couldn't agree more. A wig for that? What's next?They pay big bucks for the Brazilian and then put a wig on it? How does it attach? Duct Tape?

Oh, geez you Guys!!! Don't you ever watch Oxygen???

First came Vajewels and Vajazzles, and now the fur Merkins, which also have a "jeweling" option.

It's all about niche marketing to the 18-34 IQ demographic.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
