I e-mailed this 90’s Flowchart to a co-worker earlier this week. When she called me today I mentioned it saying that I thought I had “Ice, Ice, Baby” on my ipod. Sure enough, I had it. I had a headphone in one ear and the phone on the other. I began to sing along with my ipod. I sang three words of the song - “Stop. Collaborate and listen…” and I kid you not, she continued singing the rest of the verse. Word for word. On beat with my ipod. It was the most amazing thing. I was hearing Vanilla Ice in my right ear and Stacey in my left. In sync. I could not believe it.

Stacey, you rock a mic like a vandal.

It’s Leap Day, the only day where it is acceptable for women to propose marriage.

As the story goes, the tradition of women romantically pursuing men in leap years began in 5th century Ireland, when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about the fair sex having to wait for men to propose. Patrick finally relented and set February 29 aside as the day set aside allowing women the right to ask for a man’s hand in marriage.

The tradition continued in Scotland, when Queen Margaret declared in 1288 that on February 29 a woman had the right to pop the question to any man she fancied. Menfolk who refused were faced with a fine in the form of a kiss, a silk dress, or a pair of gloves given to the rejected lady fair.

Single ladies, this is your chance! Go out and get ‘em!

Dave Ramsey Pickup Lines:

• I still have money in my “restaurant” envelope … can I buy you dinner?
• Would you like to dance? I’d love to show you my Baby Steps.
• Why am I nervous about talking to you? Because you’re better than I deserve.
• Allow me to introduce myself … I am “borrower”, and you must be “lender”.
• Good thing I just got term life insurance … because I saw you and my heart stopped!
• You can’t spell Financial Peace University without U and I.
• I’ve already kicked Sallie Mae out. Want to take her place?
• I just bought a bass boat with cash … and it’s a good thing, because you’re quite a catch!
• I’m not mortgage interest baby … don’t write me off.
• The good news? I’m debt free. The better news? I’m also date free.
• What would you say if I asked you out? (response: no) That’s not good enough.

Coworker: How’s it goin’?

Me: Good! How are you?

Coworker: Good.

{long awkward pause}

Coworker: Is that the appropriate amount of small talk?

Works for me!

This is for LADIES ONLY. Actually, true ladies (one of which I am not) may be offended. So if you are female, over 18, and don’t consider yourself a true ”lady,” read Crystal’s hilarious post at Boobs, Injuries, and Dr. Pepper. I dare you not to laugh!

I was doing some boredom browsing and was amused to find this event posted on my high school’s calendar for Dec. 1, 2007:

Guitar Hero 3 Contest (Fundraiser for Baseball),  5 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.

If you follow baseball you know why this is funny (or at least mildly cute). I’m a baseball fan by marriage and we root for the Tigers, which is the only reason I know why this is funny. Actually, I probably wouldn’t have remembered this bit of information but Mike told me the story when we met Joel Zumaya last summer, so it sort of stuck.

Joel Zumaya is a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers and is famous for being able to pitch over 100 mph. In 2006 he became famous for something else - he injured his wrist playing Guitar Hero, a game in which you have to simulate playing the electric guitar. It caused him to miss three games of the AL Championship Series that year. I’m sure he’ll never truly live that down.

I saw a tv commercial that advertised “Something + Something + Radio Shack = Joy.” I don’t remember what the Somethings were, but I’m assuming you can buy them at Radio Shack. I think one was an iPod, which would mean I’m 33% on my way to having Joy! Yay! Wait, I mean “yay.” Gotta tone that down cuz I haven’t got my Joy yet.

I told my husband about the commercial and he commented how Radio Shack used to be the place where only gadgety types of nerds shopped. I am a nerd, but not the gadgety kind. I’ve never said, “Oh, I need to get a [pick any electronic gadget]. I’m going to Radio Shack!” I did go once to pick up some connectors for the cable installers I used to work for, but other than that I can’t recall going there. To be honest, the store is totally off my radar. I had almost forgotten they were still around until I saw their commercial. Which is why I found this article from The Onion so hilarious:

Even CEO Can’t Figure Out How RadioShack Still In Business

Don’t be a party pooper!
