Making fun

I love to make fun. I mean who doesn't like fun? So here is one way to make it as I recently posted to someone else's blog comments:

Try this out, just for fun tomorrow. Whenever anyone tells you some simple fact about their life or day, smile knowingly, nod your head and say “it takes two to tango, if you know what I mean.” No one will but at least half the people you say it to won’t want to admit it and that is funny.

For example,

"Hey, how's it going? I just got the best deal on a new speed boat."

"Well, it takes two to tango if you know what I mean...."

Or, just try adding “if you know what I mean” after some obvious thing, like: I’m going out to get some milk at the store if you know what I mean.” This will freak people out, trust me. Then you have a little fun at the awkward moment and later they make fun of you for being such a dork and everyone has fun thanks to you.

Sure you will get a lot of wierd looks and people will think you are completely insane, and no one will understand why you are so amused with yourself afterward, but it will be worth it to spread the fun.

Or maybe, that's just me....hmmm.....nah.

I think this is why I like you! I think this is hilarious and am totally going to do it! BUT, I don't care if anyone else gets it. I will be laughing my tail off. In fact, I will be laughing so hard knowing what I am about to do, that I probably won't even be able to do it with a serious face. I will just start laughing before it even comes out!

Kaelea Graul and I were having a similar discussion and laugh fest over the phrase, "or What?" It's just funny. Are you going to eat those, or what? Are we going to the movie, or what? Do I have a brain tumor, or what? We have been playing with it and think it's hilarious. But, maybe that's just us!

Peggy: Good News! Josh has posted some new ideas on how I can torture my co-workers tomorrow.

Tim: Did Josh REALLY think you ran out of ideas? REALLY??? And how is this good news for any of your co-workers?

Reminds me of a line from "Friends" as Joey always ended sentences with "if you know what I mean." Veronica said, "Joey, we always know what you mean."

If you know what I mean. . .

I'm always telling my wife that but for some reason it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Man, this might really come back to bite you in the butt.

I was surprised that Steve was the first, if you know what I mean.

Not surprised that Peggy enjoys torture, if you know what I mean.

Amused that Greg still remembers any episode from friends, if you know what I mean.

Not enough knowledge to comment about Cheryl, if you know what I mean.

And mostly too tired to do real work today, if you know what I mean.

makes me think of 'whose line is it anyway?' where they use that 'if you know what i mean' tacked onto all kinds of sentences... brad sherwood was the best at it, raising an eyebrow, and smirking,t when he said it.

Update on Dad

Quick post today. My Dad went to see his oncologist today after his latest CT scan. Because things looked good before, he has not had a scan in 3 months which seemed like a long time to be honest. Well, it is all good news. The doctor reports that there are no new spots or lesions and that the existing tumors are shrinking. My Dad will not have to increase his dosage of the drug he is taking which would bring with it new and unwelcomed side effects, so this was the best possible news. He will have another ct in 3 months. Over all, he continues to deal with some side effects from taking the drug, but they are relatively minor and in general, my Dad is doing quite well. Thank you to all who have been keeping him in your prayers. I know it has made a difference. God is good all the time.

Another Movie Review

I had big plans for another post today, but my actual job got in the way. Instead I posted a review for the movie I saw last night: "Thank You for Smoking." It's a good one and the full review is now posted on StumpTown Entertainment. Check it out. One other thought before I go. Tom Hanks' mullet in the Da Vinci Code got me thinking. If so many "rednecks" are wearing mullets these days, are they still rednecks? I mean doesn't that hair protect the back of the neck and keep it lilly white? I wonder what Descartes would say about this? Probably something like: "huh?"

Please Pray With Me.

Hello out there in blog land. I am sad to have to report today that we got some bad news regarding my father this week. If you read this blog or know my family, then you know that my Dad has been battling a rare form of aggressive cancer for several years. The first surgery removed a football sized tumor from his abdomen. In a matter of months the cancer returned, this time primarily in his liver. More surgery this past May killed the tumor in his liver. In early August of this year he had a CT which showed no new tumors or growth. The surgery was a success, he had finally recovered and then got a clean bill of health. It was a good month in that regard. Unfortunately, he began feeling discomfort in his liver a couple weeks ago. He went in for a CT this past Friday and then discovered this week what we had feared, but had not allowed ourselves to believe. The cancer had returned and was again in the form of tumors in the liver. In a month’s time one of the two new tumors was ...
