Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!
Every week, Airing My Dirty Laundry One Sock at a Time, does this thing called Okay Tuesday where she lists a bunch of things to be "okay" about, and since imitation is the most sincere form of flattery....let's go!
It's Okay.....
That Madonna will be performing in the half time show at the Super Bowl. Very okay!!!! OMFG The SuperBowl and a free perfomance by Madonna! Sign me up! I saw Madonna in concert once, about 15 years ago, in Foxboro Stadium, and um.....the seats were so bad I couldn't see her on the stage. That's one big mo' fo' stadium. Thank goodness for big screen tvs. When I told him Madonna would be doing the superbowl half time show he responded "Who's that?". OMFG Youth is wasted on the young. Which reminds me, I was loading some music (yes, old 80s & 90s music. stfu) and somehow got Ceilo Greene! Sugar Bear was the culprit.
That I live in Boston and today it's going to be 65 degrees, like yesterday and the day before and the day before that. I dunno what's going on but normally I would've complained about the too cold weather alot by now. I haven't because it's been so nice. Not that I'm complaining but this isn't Boston weather! Whee! I mean it's December. It is supposed to finally get cold (blah) Wednesday night but only for a couple of days. Awesome. I love heat. Hot heat. The hotter and sunnier the better. I'll bake in the sun all day so long as I have a good book and some good music (Madonna!).
That I haven't won a 5 digit payoff in a poker tournament YET. I've won 4 digit prizes many times, both live and online, but ohhh that elusive 5 digit prize. It's going to happen. And I'll take pictures. :)
That Bayne did the best this week in our little football challenge. Anything is okay so long as I beat Waffles AGAIN, and I surely did. I made up some points in my other league as well. Up to 4th place again and there are 3 prizes in the end of year thingy. Very close but 3rd place most certainly isn't my goal.
That there's talk about building a casino (and hotel and small country) in Foxboro. Most of that talk is coming from Robert Kraft and Steve Winn (of Winn casino in Vegas if you don't get out much). Apparently there's some law that Kraft can't profit from gambling in Foxboro but he can lease land to Winn. Interesting. Of all places in Massachusetts, Foxboro is one my least favorite places for a casino. I mean really. South Shore? Blah. Yet still.....it'll be alot closer than Foxwoods. Ah Foxwoods, I miss thee....and James Woods too.
That my sister brings me a book to read/borrow, and as she hands it to me she says "Here, this wasn't very good." Really? The ones she calls "good" are actually kinda shitty, so I can only imagine how bad this is. Yet, I suppose that was thoughtful of her. She's the person who bought me the world's WORST poker book. I dunno if was for my birthday or Christmas but it was horrid.
That Evan and I watched The Hangover on TBS over the weekend. LOL TBS's version cut out all swearing and offensive language. The voice overs were almost as funny as the movie itself. Instead of "Paging Dr. Faggott! Dr. Faggott!" it was edited to "Paging Dr. Nancy!" lol Many items were lost in translation. Perfect for my Sugar Bear! While we were watching it he asked if he could watch Hangover II again. "Not until you're twenty-one years old!" was my answer. "But I've seen it before!". TFB Two wrongs do not make a right.
That I almost dummy slapped the teller at Bank of America. Really, that IS okay, as I am still amazed that I showed so much self control. That bitch needed a slap. Actually this encounter deserves it's own post. Tune in late this afternoon. I don't know why I still have an account with that.....that......bank.
That Evan is showing an interest in girls. Actually, girl. Singular. A video game playing, texting fiend of a girl, who I'd never met before. At least I'd never met her before Halloween, when she came around sniffing for Evan. Yes, I said sniffing! Anyway, I'd heard lots of stories about this girl, who can skateboard and play COD and gets in trouble at school but I'd never met her. Every other friend of Evan has practically moved in, but not her. Anyway, on Halloween I see this lovely girl with long straight blond hair....a Marcia Brady look alike....and she's chasing Evan with a can of silly string down our street. (the ho) And that's her! Ut oh. I sense trouble ahead. But that's Okay!

PS Come back later for details of my Bank of America misery. Okay misery is a tad too strong but still.

OK, that's a line from Douglas Adams, but treat it as mine for the day.
Gary - whatever! I must say i did enjoy the song - ...you're travelling round town with the girl i love and im like forget you and forget her too!
I am going to have to let the stash grow so I can twirl it over your tied to the tracks self.
Later, Pauline.
P.S. Any of those books banned in Boston?
I hope when those casinos are built, that one is on the north shore for you :-).
My dad used to say that Saturdays during the war were a lot of fun for not a lot of money. For a dime, you could go to the movies and see a cartoon, a newsreel, a two-reeler like the Stooges, and the feature. He said he'd walk to the theater with his head down because if he found a penny on the street he could get a candy bar.
What relevance that has to this post, however, is entirely beyond me.
to say the vig on the lottery is "higher than a casino" is like saying an elephant weighs more than an ant. I'm sorry but it pisses me off to see hardworking people pump dollar after hard earned dollar into something they are not going to win. ugh. I'm all about choice....and again you didn't offend me at all, and you better not be offended yourself or....I dunno. ;)

That, Madam, I find very offensive. As offensive as your frequent use of military-grade adjectives. One of the ways we jump to conclusions is language.
What's your son's opinion on your flexible standards?
Thank god you don't have to work with numbers.
Ken, yes, '30s. Perils of Pauline: 1933, according to the link that YOU sent around.
And Josie, you...um...you're pretty.
BTW, $10 for a show in your Dad's day might be a bit high. Your dad must have been a huge tipper. But, if you say it is so...
It was a quarter in my era (the 50's) but the first 200 kids got a free bag of popcorn with a piece of tacky candy on the top.
So, if I made reference to Birth of a Nation, you leap to the conclusion I was around in 1915?
As an aside, Bertha Vanation is a great drag queen name.
