Manic Monday #31
- What name would you want have if you were the opposite sex?
Well, if I actually had been a boy, I would have gotten the name that BabyBro ended up with a year later. It's not a bad name at all, but that's kind of wierd to think of.
(Weirder: Had BabyBro been a girl, her name would've been a variation of Shrike's which would've just been creepy. On the other hand, I never actually call Shrike by her name anyway, so maybe not so much.)
(Is that all correct, Anonymama? Other than the creepy factor. I know that's right.) - Would you share the tooth brush of your spouse/significant other? Why or why not?
I don't think so. That's dumb, because we swap spit all the time, but still. Ew. - What is a song that you love to hate?
You know, I don't think I have a song like that. I'm easy, really. If I recognize it and I know the words enough to sing along without embarrassing myself too badly (especially if it's an "oldie" - you know, from the 80s) then I kind of like it.
Shrike could probably give you quite a list though. Starting, I'm sure, with anything by Steely Dan.

Yup, you got it, anything by Steely Dan will do it. Most country music. All rap music. I do get rather violent over music. Oh yeah, I hate headbanging crap too. Anything that is played on a "Classic" Rock station. Maybe I started out liking one of the 50 or so songs they play but then after about the 50,000time you hear "Dust in The Wind" or something by the Doobie Brothers....Man, I hate radio stations. I would rather listen to cats in heat. "Taking Care of Business" wasn't all that great before it became a Staples anthem. They make my ears bleed. Peter Frampton "Why Don't You Show Me the Way" and "Baby I love YOur Way" How many ways can you suck? And if I never hear Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do" it will be too soon. I love Tina. But that song I could've done without after the 10,000th time I heard it. I have a little game I play. You name the song the idiots play over and over again on the radio that really sucks (sometimes it doesn't suck so much, but you would rather hear X by that person). For instance, "Roack The Casbah" by The Clash, why not play "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" TIna, I would rather hear "One of The Living" from her Thunderdome stint. Me no likey Mel Gibson or Sci Fi, but Tina in Thunderdome...Please, if anyone reads this play along. Name the song the goddamn radio stations overplay and then name the song you would rather hear if radio stations didn't suck so badly. I will start with anything by Steely Dan. I would rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard with undertones of car alarms.
ReplyDeleteI did not understand a word of Shrike's comments. I love oldies, but I mean REAL oldies. Pre rock. About names, you pretty much have it right. Brother's name was picked for a boy, your's for a girl. If he had been another girl, which I expected, she would have had your first name (the family female first name) and a version of Shrike's and would have been called what Shrike is called. I know some friends where a son or daughter married a person with the same name as a sibling and it is beyond confusing. I guess we did well to have one of each gender with the two later kids. If Lady Kay had been a boy, she would have had a different name. There was one we liked very well, but then knew a little brat by that name when she was little, so we changed our boy name. Many decisions in naming a kid. Start with do the initials spell something that will be a problem all his or her life. That is why God made pregnancy so long-to give you time to pick a name.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit it, I'm a blogger stalker. Lurker. Watcher. Anonymous reader. A: Congrats on the Peeper!!!! I'm SOOO excited for you guys. I know you'll be fantastic Moms!!! B: What Shrike said and Anonymom's response had me laughing SO loud my co wokers wanted to know what I was laughing at! Hope all is well!!! Oh, and in case you haven't guessed it's.. um.. me. Used to live near you. I have a not so small anymore chocolate child. Yeah, he'll be 15 in October. 15.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, E, I remember when we would do stuff with your little man child and GodzillaBoy. J looked up to D so much and just loved hanging out with him and D was so good with J. I can't believe he is going to be 15!!!! How are you doing? WE think about you a lot and we must have another Murder Mystery party with you and your nemesis!
ReplyDeleteAnonymama -
ReplyDeleteYou know, based on your gender-prediction track record. I don't know why we're even waiting on an ultrasound to start buying pink or blue. We should just ask what you think Peeper is, and shop for the other!
