Thanks for those who added silly songs to my last post.  I loved them!  Anyone else who may have another one, please add!  I love to read them.

I can’t tell if this man made a terrible accident or if he has serious issues?  What’s your verdict?

Silly Songs with Maren

November 21, 2008 by Maren 8 Comments

I appreciate random kids songs.  Many times I’ll have a random tune in my head that remains for days.  I figured it would be fun to share some of them and hear back from anyone reading this who may have a childhood silly song to share.

A college friend once shared this with me from her childhood days.  I found it humorous.

The Billboard Song:
As I was walking down the road
One bright and sunny day
I came upon a billboard
And much to my dismay,
The sign was torn and tattered
From the storm the night before;
The wind and rain had done it’s work,
And this is what it bore:

Smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes,
chew Wrigley Spearmint beer
Can-a-ration dog food makes your wife’s complexion clear
Simonize your baby with a Hershey’s candy bar
And Texaco’s the beauty cream that’s used by all the stars

Soooo…
Take your next vacation in your brand-new fridgidaire
Learn to play piano in your winter underwear
Doctors say that babies should smoke till they are three
And people over 65 should bathe in lipton tea
With flow-through tea baaaaaaags

From Boy Scouts via Ross:
Pink Pajamas
I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot.
I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it’s not.
And sometime in the springtime and sometimes in the fall.
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, what’s it to ya.
Balmy breezes blowing through ya.
With nothing on at all.

From Girl Scouts:
Hunk of Tin:
I’m a little hunk of tin,
Nobody knows what shape I’m in,
I’ve got four wheels and a running board,
I’m not Chevy, and I’m no Ford,

Honk honk, rattle rattle, crash, beep beep
Honk honk, rattle rattle, crash, beep beep
Honk honk.

Now it’s time to share your crazy songs–just because I like them!

You know me, I love a deal!

Three lawyers and three engineers were traveling by train to a conference.  At the station, each lawyer bought at ticket whereas the engineers bought only one ticket between them.

‘How are you going to travel on a single ticket?’ asked a lawyer.

‘Wait and watch,’ answered one of the engineers.

When they boarded the train, the lawyers took their seats, but the three engineers crammed into a toilet and closed the door behind them.  Shortly after the train started, the ticket collector arrived.  He knocked on the toilet door and asked, ‘Ticket please.’  The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand.  The ticket collector took it and moved on.  Seeing this, the lawyers decided to do the same thing on the return trip.

So when they got to the station, they bought only one ticket.  To their astonishment, the engineers didn’t buy any. ‘How are you going to travel without a ticket?’ asked one of the perplexed lawyers.

‘Wait and watch,’ answered the engineer.

In the train, the three engineers crammed into a toilet and the three lawyers into another nearby.  Soon after the train started, one of the engineers got out of the toilet and walked to the one where the lawyers were hiding.

He knocked on the door and said, ‘Ticket, please.’

 

Some days I sit and ponder about a posts…what in the world can I write about??? Some weeks provide such dull activity that you would be bored to tears if I gave you a play-by-play.  So, special thanks go to Reader’s Digest for the smile today!

For You, Today: Randomness!

November 12, 2008 by Maren 4 Comments

Randomness:

1.  For all you SURVIVOR fans: On my cruise, I met a REAL LIVE SURVIVOR!  And she hasn’t even been voted off from the show yet!  I met Crystal Cox and to my deep regret, my family adamantly opposed me asking her for a picture.  So, now, all you get is CBS.com’s picture to help you recognize her face, in case you are one of those fair-weather Survivor fans.  I took up a couple minutes of her time with a rather selfish question.  I asked her what she did on her video to get on the show…heeheehee.  As some of you may know, I’ve tried out a time or two or three or four, so I figured the advice of a REAL LIVE SURVIVOR could only help.  I asked a couple other questions then ended the conversation, knowing that though she was pleasant to talk with, she probably was weary of Survivor stalkers like me.  Her boyfriend (I’m guessing he was a boyfriend–CBS.com said she was single, so I’m assuming that’s who he was–Yikes, I’m only proving I am a Survivor stalker…) looked less than enthused at people yakking with her-  So, I ended the conversation and went on my merry way–wishing, at least I had taken a picture incognito.  Oh well!  That’s my fun cruise story of the day.

2.  And while I’m on the subject of game shows, I just want to confess that I’m probably the only person in America who tracks Wheel of Fortune’s winning spinid every day through my google reader…just in case my spin id is a winner.

I’m hopeful…or hopeless.  I don’t know which.
