Think She Might Be Playing Me?

When you get to be my age you have to be realistic. Often when I meet someone they are surprised by my age. I tend to be guessed younger by 10 years or so. It’s always been that way. Years ago I picked up my daughter at her high school and the next day a friend of hers asked if her boyfriend (meaning me) was in college. What I don’t get much of is the attention of women under 30 anymore. This is fine with me. What could we possibly have in common? OK, besides that.

Hey Bud-

How’s it goin? I’m Kristy, I just moved to the Connecticut area and I wanna meet a nice guy around here :). I came to Connecticut a couple of weeks ago for my job and now that I’m here I have nothin to do! I read your profile… You’re cute and I liked what you had to say :). I’m 21/F/single and I like a guy who is easy to be comfortable around. I’m into a guy who is a little bit older than me. You say you’re 55 so I guess that means you 😉 My friend Jen from back home suggested I tried using myspace to meet people in my area. I just signed up and my profile sux hehe. I do have a blog/profile page at (her site was here) … I have alot of photos and stuff up if you wanna see me 😉 I also left ya a personal message on my blog so come check it out k? Lookin forward to chattin with ya, Kristy

Now of course I knew that this could not be serious. Now fortunately I was expecting less than nothing by clicking on her link. As great looking and youthful as I am, I am 55. She says she’s 21. Shockingly this is what I got by clicking on her “site”. (Of course I clicked it. You just have to be curious.)
OMG. She may have been less than truthful. I would not be surprised if she (gasp) has sent this same email to others. The shame. The humanity. I thought she really liked me. I was planning our wedding and everything. Oh well, maybe my next My Space email will be better. One can only hope.

That is it on a Tuesday at the WTIT Tape Radio Blog. If you were looking for our Comeback Challenge answers they are not here. Mimi Lenox took some time off from the internet. (Can someone say “withdrawls”?) We will return on your hump-day with something or other. Parts of todays posts appeared on October 6, 2006. Join us tomorrow!
Same time. Same blog.

Just the Facts

We hope that you enjoyed your weekend. The WTIT Tape Radio Blog will try to give you a smile on a Suck-o Monday. We thought we’d share some of the most interesting questions our friends in the Blogosphere ask in our “Comments” section. The comments are from posts from June 16 to July 29, 2007. Some have been edited for clarity. All these question are real. Reader’s comments are in bold.

Do you EVER run out of funny stuff in that brain of yours Bud? Not since I bought these great ear plugs. They prevent jokes leaking out my ears.

So who is this Lola? Is this a real blogger or someone that lives in your head? Even if I tried REALLY hard I don’t think I could fake Lola even once. That’s why when she doesn’t post I generally take an old meme of hers and write the answers all over again.

HOW CAN Michael Vick not know who the Queen of Meme’s is???? I’m thinking he doesn’t read enough. Confusing her with Mimi Phoenix. The horror! I did make up Ms. Phoenix BTW.

According to a recent study 83% of women say that marriage is no longer necessary while only 70% of men concurred. Does it strike you as odd that men want to be married more than women? No. A guy figures that his wife can work 40 hours, cook seven nights a week, do his laundry, keep the house spotless and still want sex all the time. His contribution? Emptying the garbage and doing the dishes on special occasions.

Forgive me if this is a question that is answered elsewhere, but have you ever been married? Why are you so against it? Just curious… I have been divorced more than once. Most of my jive against marriage is shtick. Although my main thinking is how fucking expensive divorce is. If you are not having children, I just don’t see the upside. But, what the hell do I know?

Also wanted to say I was sorry to read about the way things turned out between you and Mimi. You’re both awesome. Hang in there. I think we both appreciated all the support you folks have given. It was weird to break up and have so much written about it. I honestly think that our friendship will survive.

I love the whole cardboard guy idea. Did he really look like the picture? What’s the deal with his eyes? Johnnie Walker and I took a cardboard replica of the Cosmic Commando since he was supposed to come on the golfing vacation we did in Sanibel Island. And no, Cos does not have that guy’s body. The eyes on the cardboard (it was actually cardboard to keep your car cool by being placed in the wind shield) were closed, so we use white stamps to make then open.

Sounds like Cos had a wonderful time but I must ask – a) did the golf lesson do him any good and b) did he ever pay for it? He being a cardboard man he could certainly have used Monopoly money or the like, right?? I’m not sure the lesson did him any good. But the stories of women molesting him perked him up when we got home and told him.

There’s going to be a new X Files movie?!? Woo hoo hoo! I’m doing a happy dance now. Well, there is now a script. I am not sure if Duchovny has approved the story line yet.

In looking it over, though, it seems that the main thing it’s touting is penis size and/or erection duration. I take it there’s a big market for that sort of thing?!? Something you men aren’t telling us? I do not get it. It is like all those phony lottery notifications. Who believes that? Somebody must because they keep coming.

PLEASE tell me you were not really wearing that thong thing Bud… PLEASE! Relax. As great of shape I am in, that would be very UGLY.

Didn’t want to miss this post, Bud. Does Lola ever read your replies? Would you have any way of knowing? We don’t pay for the services that would tell us those sorts of things. That’s mostly because I am not a writer who wants to be published. I just like to have a good laugh and share it. So, whether she reads it, I’m guessing not. It just pisses her off what I do to her meme. We attempted some communication in the beginning, but Lola made it clear that I should go away.
Hi Bud!Lola hates almost everything can means – Lola loves almost everything.I think Lola understand more than she shows and you think.( Be careful.) I am always careful and I’d be lying if I said I understood your point.
Just so many prime candidates out there to meet and date isn’t there? There seems to be normal people with normal profiles on the dating sites I use for the bit on Fridays. They just aren’t funny.
I never go to a liquor store. I guess I don’t need nips during the day? Am I missing out on something here? Just kidding. You must get sick of all the alcoholics talking to you about the weather… Honestly, when I am waiting in a liquor store there is plenty for me to do. I never converse with patrons. Not that it would be wrong, but it just doesn’t usually happen.
We thought we’d try this today because most folks only read comments when they themselves write one. This was a sampling of both the silly questions and serious ones that we receive at The WTIT Tape Radio Blog. Tomorrow we usually run our answers to “The Comeback Challenge” but since there isn’t one this week we will come up with something. Join us then.

Show Tunes & Fight Songs

Posted in: sunday stealing. 2 Comments

Welcome again to Sunday Stealing which we bring you usually on Sundays (who’d a thunk) on The WTIT Tape Radio Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. Today our meme is ripped off from a blog by Ellen from The Happy Wonderer. She does credit the friend that she stole it from, which is fine, but we never go back to the credit previous thefts anyway. Too much effort, and really who cares? Usually, what we steal is stolen as well. We are just smarter by calling our theft “A Feature”. All meme questions are in bold. A nice touch is that every week some of you rip it off from me. Please continue to do so. Cheers to All of us THIEVES!

The High School Meme: Memories and More Crap!!

1. Who was your best friend? Sylvia Rentalot. I don’t really remember all that much about her other than she was stunning when naked.
2. Did you play any sports? Besides “Hide the Sausage”? Answer: Football.

3. What kind of car did you drive? A 1965 Mustang convertible. Oh wait. That was my friend Johnnie Walker. I drove a clunker Plymouth Belvedere. Not a babe magnet.

4. It’s Friday night. Where were you? We’d always start out at the WTIT Studio, If we had dates we’d leave to do them. If not, we’d continue recording until we came up with something better. Which meant a lot of times we recorded all night.
5. Were you a party animal? Not a first. I was the last DJ on WTIT to get drunk. It wasn’t that I had a moral thing with it. Everyone drank beer and in spite of my name I am not to this day a beer drinker. One night someone asked if I wanted a screwdriver. I asked what it was. My friend Bull said, “Smirnoff and OJ”. That was the night I got introduced to Smirnoff. Oh night devine.
6. Were you considered a flirt? Not in high school. But I think I’ve made up for it since.
7. Were you in the band, orchestra or choir? Choir one horrible year. All we sang were show tunes. I still cringe when I hear “Oklahoma”.
8. Were you a nerd? No. I was more known for how many girls I was dating at one time. It went well before they found out about each other. (Group shot on left.) Although, we all got along well!
9. Were you ever suspended or expelled? Close, but no. In public I use to get detentions for talking in class. That school had a rule that 10 detentions equaled a three day suspension. While the Vice Principal was explain this I interupted him. I said, “Look you are talking to me as though I were a bad kid. I talk in class. I’ve spent ten hours paying for that crime. If you want to give me a three day vacation than just do it. But I am not going to listen to another second of how bad I am.” He shut up and didn’t suspend me. Then he called my mother to tell her how much he liked me. I am glad I resisted the temptation to tell him to “fuck himself”.

10. Can you sing the fight song? I can’t sing “Happy Birthday”, but I am guessing that’s not what you mean. I went to two different schools and no I don’t remember the dumb fucking “fight songs”.
11. Who was your favorite teacher? At private school I had a Spanish teacher who was a hot shit. He used to call on us to speak spanish on a subject for 30 seconds. The night before this particular day I was reading a Harold Robbins book that took place in South America. I had learned their “swear words”. The teacher called on me and my subject was “Maria”. I stated, “Maria es un puta con tetas muy bonitas, rojas y grande.” It wasn’t even 30 seconds and this teacher fell out of his chair laughing. The class had NO idea what I had said. Oh, it means, “Maria is a whore with beautiful, big red tits.” I got an “A” that year.
12. What was your school mascot? At public school an Indian. At private a “wyvern” which looked like a dragon.
13. Did you go to the Prom? Of course. For ten minutes. Then all the WTIT DJs and I went off to a booze party. It was a lot more fun.
14. If you could go back, would you? No. I am lucky I survived it at all.
15. What do you remember most about graduation? That the private school and I were finally fucking done with each other.
16. Where were you on Senior Skip Day? We did not have one.
17. Did you have a job your senior year? Weekends only. I was a brain surgeon.
18. Where did you go most often for lunch? Are you for really? Could there be any answer but the cafeteria?
19. Have you gained weight since then? In round numbers, it is none of you god damn business. But thanks for asking.
20. What did you do after graduation? Went to college to become a DJ. I learned a lot about sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll. Now college I would do all over again.
21. What year did you graduate? I graduated from high school in 1969.
22. Who was your Senior Prom Date? Leslie McGuire. The evening is kind of a blur for some reason.
23. Are you going/did you go to your 10 year reunion? Yes, I went. Both of us who attended had a grand time.
This was change of pace meme for our Sunday Stealing feature. We hope you stayed awake. And of course your weekend should be fantastic as well! The WTIT Tape Radio Blog hopes to bring you something SO FANTASTIC for your Suck-o Monday that you’ll email all your friends and make them beg you to share. Or we might just tell a blonde joke. You never know. Join us.
Same time. Same blog.
