Kids Say the Most Annoying Things; Why Can't We?
Monday 07-21-2008 8:15am ET

According the Parents Magazine, these are the top 6 most annoying things kids say: 

  • "Mine!"
  • "It's not fair!"
  • "You're not the boss of me!"
  • "I want it now!"
  • "You never let me do anything!"
  • "I don't like you!"

    Perhaps the workday would be more fun if we used some of these phrases at work.  Then again, perhaps someone would call the 800 number for HR ha ha ha.

  • Gas....for a memorable vacation experience
    Wednesday 07-16-2008 8:10am ET
    Where would you go if you had unlimited gas this vacation season?  How about some place memorable like the hound dog capital of the world or maybe the home of the world's largest ball of yarn.

    Plan a trip to someplace really different with Weird Wanderings. This travel site features trips for those who are into "ghosts and hauntings," "the world's only salt and pepper shaker museum," "UFOs," and places that are just "too odd or rare to classify."
    Marilyn Monroe wore size 14, well I might add:-)

    What is fat?  Somehow you just don't look right without a little meat on your bones.  That's what I'm saying.  Know when to back away from the table or when to avoid that extra helping but listen up toothpick shaped boney bottomed fashion models.  Eat something!  Didn't you ever have a grandma?  "Come here baby, let's get you something to eat" ha ha ha .

    Twenty years ago, the average big-money-making fashion model wore a size 8 while today it's more like a size ZERO.  Marilyn Monroe was rather fetching and guess what?  She wore a size 14 so she had certainly had something to eat and she wore it well.

    Joy Nash might be considered fat, but she's more famous for her FAT RANT.

    HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY AT THE OFFICE
    Thursday 07-10-2008 1:15pm ET
  • At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a blow dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
  • Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
  • Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
  • Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in."
  • As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
  • Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
  • Specify in fast-food drive-thrus that your order is "to go".
  • Sing along at the opera.
  • Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
  • Drape mosquito netting over your cubicle and play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
  • Insist that your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.
  • When leaving the zoo, run towards the parking lot, screaming "They're loose! They're loose!"
  • Tell your children over dinner, "Due to the economy, we're going to have to let one of you go."
  • Regardless of their actual name, call your boss LeRoy.
  • TOP 10 MOST OUTRAGEOUS CAR OPTIONS
    Tuesday 06-17-2008 7:59am ET

    Hagerty Insurance researched dozens of these unheard of inventions to create a list of the top 10 quirkiest options ever invented for the automobile.

    1. Automotive Swamp Cooler -- These were popular from the late 1940s through the 1950s to help cool the interior of cars before air conditioning systems became readily available. Swamp coolers were available through the aftermarket and attached to one of the car's windows. These are highly collectible now and are commonly seen at vintage car shows.
    2. Highway Hi-Fi (16 2/3 LP Player) -- Developed in 1955 and offered as an option on 1956 Chrysler models, the Highway Hi-Fi had one big drawback: Drive over even the smallest of bumps, slam on the brakes or take a corner fast, and it would skip.
    3. Destroilet -- An optional "Destroilet" gas incinerator-type toilet was available for early 1960s Dodge motor homes, which was meant to simplify waste disposal. After use, when the top lid was closed, a small, thick metal lid would also close over the well at the bottom. A jet of burning gas would incinerate the solid waste and vaporize the liquid.
    4. Electric Shaver -- An electric shaver that was powered by the vehicle's electrical system was developed by aftermarket automotive suppliers in the 1940s and was an available factory option for a 1957 Chevrolet.
    5. Automatic Lit Cigarette Dispenser -- As a "safety" item, this was an aftermarket accessory designed to eliminate the distractions of lighting a cigarette while motoring down the road. Unveiled in the late 1940s, it was attached to the steering wheel.
    6. Steam Pressure Cooker -- This accessory mounted to the rear bumper to cook food while motoring down the road. It routed exhaust gases through the inner chambers of the cooker to provide the heat to cook the food. Yum!
    7. Steering Wheel Watch -- In 1958, a steering wheel-mounted watch was available on DeSotos.
    8. Trafficators -- Back in the days before flashing turn signals, a driver would flip a switch on the dash and a lit semaphore arm would swing out of a panel on the appropriate side of the car and signal the driver's intention to turn.
    9. Swivel Seats -- These seats, available on a '59 Chrysler, would automatically swivel out as the door opened to make it easier for the passenger to exit the automobile.
    10. Talking Car -- In the early 1980s, the Chrysler LeBaron talked. It would say phrases such as "Your door is ajar" and "All monitored systems functioning." If you followed the command of "Please fasten your seatbelt," it would promptly reply with "Thank you!"
    Donuts Donuts Donuts

    It's National Donut Day today.  I bet you didn't even know.  We could have been out celebrating with some jelly or cream filled fried yummy....or maybe there is still time.  Although I've never tried to make them, it's not supposed to be very hard to do.  I found some recipes and may get started this weekend.  If I'm not on the air Monday you will know that I ate too many and can't get out of the house.

    Wanna make some donuts?

     
    WHAT DOES THAT WORD MEAN?

    Vegitarians eat vegetables exclusively.  Meatatarians eat meat to the exclusion of most all other foods.  Do you have ATTENTIONSPAM?  That's the inability to process basic information and facts due to having a mind already overloaded with usless information.  You might learn some new words.
