Everybody Must Get Stoned

Posted by Bud Weiser, WTIT on October 31, 2010

Posted in: sunday stealing. 9 Comments

Welcome again to S t e al i ng which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play this meme with Judd and click on the official Sunday Stealing meme.) Today we ripped this meme of a blogger Lucy at the blog The Smallest Smallholding. She states that she was tagged by her friend Amy at the blog Turn to the Music. . But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. He promises to post the next 25 questions, soon. If he writes them by next Saturday, we will complete his meme. The meme questions are in bold.

Sunday Stealing: The Meme About Me, Myself and I

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. What inspires you to blog? It’s all about saving lives, here. People come here for answers, the truth if you will. Well at least those that are not terrified about the Google Warning. I also like posting pics of scantily clad women.

2. What’s the best thing about blogging, for you? The groupies. Although, at times they can wear you out. For a guy turning 259 on Wednesday, I hold my own.

3. What is your favourite book of all time? The dictionary. All the other books are in there. You just have to rearrange the words.

4. It’s 9pm and for some reason you’ve been hungry all day, despite the three square meals. What do you rustle up? Is it just me, or do you think whoever wrote this question was really stoned? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Dylan said it best, Everybody Must Get Stoned.

5. Who are three of your style icons? Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. It explains a lot, don’t you think?

6. What’s your current favourite song/piece of music? The Rush to the Next Question by Whocares.

7. What is the last book you read? I can’t recall the title, but the characters were so richly drawn. First there was a dude called Dick. And then he meets this hot babe, Jane. The had a dog named Spot. My favorite part was when Dick and Jane played Hide or Go Seek. Although, the pics of Hide the Salami were fun, too.

8. What is your current favourite recipe? Would you eat anything I’d cook? Fine. ‘Nuff said.

9. Who or what first inspired you to set up your own blog? Michelle and MaBelle are French twins that happen to live upstairs in my building. We had become quite close when Michelle asked, “Could you start a blog and write about us all the time?” I replied, “Done. And a little lower.”

10. What object could you not live without? How the fuck could I choose just one? My iPod? My HDTV? My car? I guess I’ll say car, since it would be hard to be in sales without it.

11. Where do you see yourself in ten years? Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of this sorry ass meme. Will THAT be a shindig!

12. Who or what made you into the person you are today? I think my folks had something to do with it.

13. What have your learned from blogging? How to respond to pretentious meme questions while never actually answering them.

14. Knowing what you know now, what knowledge would you pass on to your past self? “Run away! She’s walking down the aisle with her dad! This won’t end well!”

15. Sunday roasts – lunchtime or evening meal? Whatever doesn’t interrupt the game.

16. What has been your best blogging-related experience so far? The friendships that I’ve made with people that are far from me either geographically or in life experience. And I would never have found my virtual dog Happy without it.

That’s it for today on the
WTIT: The Blog.
Enjoy your Sunday…

Have a Happy & Safe

Halloween!
We will return.
Just a fair warning.
Peace, my friends.
Join us. Same time. Same blog.

The Worst of Two Evils

Posted by Bud Weiser, WTIT on October 30, 2010

Posted in: Saturday 9. 14 Comments

Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. The biggest difference is that Sam enjoys our participation. All of Sam’s questions and writing are in bold.

Saturday 9: Elected

1. Many of my friends have commented they
cannot discuss politics with co-workers, family, friends and others without conflict rearing its ugly head. Do you feel you can talk with your family and friends about this particularly divisive election? Yes I can talk to them. But who gives a fuck what I think? We all do agree that anything to do with that nutcases at the so-called “Tea Party” movement are dangerous. Not just because we don’t share their conservative views, but also the lack of any real platform. It’s easy to say, “We hate Obama Care. We hate taxes.” But how about one original idea? What are you for, not against? Sarah Palin should just go away.

2. Do you know who you’re voting for in next week’s election? How did you decide? No. I hate both Connecticut’s candidates for the Senate. She made her millions with wrestling and the WWE, and he’s an ass. He got caught lying when he said that he had served in Vietnam. So it’s a tough choice between Linda McMahon and Dick Blumenthal. I am also overly underwhelmed at the gubernatorial candidates. This weekend my lady and I will do our research to decide. And I don’t mean that we will pick the same people, but we’ll figure out the choices.

3. What do you think is the most important issue in next Tuesday’s election? It’s the economy, stupid. It’s also about supporting our troops by bringing them home.

4. Can you go a day without laughing? Moi? Not a fucking chance. I joke and laugh throughout my day. What’s that? Why aren’t I funny here? Shit. You found me out. I’m a very serious fellow.

5. Do you think that you can chose who you want to love? No. But you can pick out hot babes for just the right threesome.

6. Have you ever been on stage? For what? As shy as I am? Oh, right. Yes. I’ve acted, I’ve been in choirs. I was a male stripper in my thirties. It’s god awful what women expect for $1!

7. Would you ever live in a different country? If yes, where? No. I’d love extended stays in Europe, Asia or any any island called St. Somewhere. My work is here. And I believe in family. I have four kids. They’re grown and don’t need me as they once did, but we need each other. My daughter Heather and husband Alec are raising my perfect granddaughters. Here, for the first time I’ll share what happened to me Wednesday night at
a wake for my daughter-in-law’s grandfather. My son Ben pulled me aside to tell me I will be a grandfather for a third time! I couldn’t be happier. Ben and Maria have been wanting this for a long time. I have never seen a couple more in love and never could ask for a better daughter-in-law. They will be awesome parents!

8. Any plans for Halloween? My lady wanted to go to The Great Pumpkin Fest in Keene, New Hampshire. But because of her recovery from the flu and my own fighting a bug, we won’t be going. So, we’ll go to the Sunday night neighborhood cockfights.

9. The last costume that you wore, what was it and why did you choose it? I was a Klingon because my son James lent me his great costume. I won an award for it when I was working in television back in the late 90’s. Join us with Judd, tomorrow. Peace!

We’re glad that you stopped by today.
Enjoy your weekend.
WTIT: The Blog will
return tomorrow with

Judd Corizan and The Halloween Striptease Contest.
Join us for Sunday Stealing!
Same time. Same blog.

I’ll Answer Next Year

Posted by Bud Weiser, WTIT on October 29, 2010

Posted in: Rock 'n Roll Fridays. 4 Comments

Welcome to Roc k ‘n Roll Fr idays on WTIT: The Blog. This meme appealed to us because of a twist in its concept. Each week DJ KathyA (its host) picks a rock band, artist or era. She digs up thirteen quotes from the song lyrics and asks her questions based on the quotes. It is similar to Janera Jepson’s Wednesday meme. Let’s do it. The quotes and meme questions are in bold.

Rock ‘n Roll Fridays: Alice Cooper & Marilyn Manson

ALICE COOPER :

1. SCHOOL’S OUT : “School’s out for summer. School’s out forever…”

What was your best summer vacation memory as a child? The summer that I spent helping the victims of Hurricane Michelle in Rakinstan. It was selfless yet rewarding work. I did miss sex, however. It’s hard to think about sex when all the fuckers are sick. Oh, yes. I did make up a bit of this. There was no such storm, country or victims. I’m proud of the work that I did. I mean answering this question.

2. BILLION DOLLAR BABIES : “Billion dollar baby, I got you in a dimestore

No other little girl could ever Hold you any tighter, any tighter than me baby”

What was the last thing you remember buying in a dimestore? A dime. Did they sell anything else? I was just a kid. The stores burnt out long ago but their legend never did.

3. WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE : “Welcome to my breakdown,

I hope I didn’t scare you. That’s just the way we are, When you come down!

We sweat laugh and scream here, Cause laugh is just a dream here…”

Can you tell us about a nightmare you have had recently? Yes. It was one of my weddings. I’m not sure which one. They’re all kind of a blur these days.

4. ELECTED : “We’re gonna win this one, take the country by storm

We’re gonna be elected, You and me together, young and strong”

Democrats, Republicans or Tea Party? Who will sweep the elections? Fuck the Tea Party.

5. NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY : “My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye, Mom’s been thrown out of the social circles, And dad has to hide…”

Have you ever done something that embarrassed your family? It’s an ongoing problem.

6. SICK THINGS : “Sick things, in cars, rotate round. My stars. Sick things. Pretty things…”

Have you ever been motion sick? Was it in a car, on a plane, or on a boat? Only on the rides I took my kids on while they were growing up. But I never let them know.

7. I LOVE THE DEAD : “I love the dead before they’re cold, their blueing flesh for me to hold. Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing. I love the dead before they rise, No farewells, no goodbyes…”

What celebrity death really bothered you? John Lennon. I have yet to get over the senseless waste. I miss all the other albums and songs he was never to write. But mostly I miss his optimism and humor.

8. SCIENCE FICTION : “Forever I’ll enjoy your under-achievement, I gonna see you every day now if I can, Why then don’t the night show really matters, I still wake on the fields of regret”

What is your favorite science fiction movie? The Matrix. Just the first one. The other two were insulting.

MARILYN MANSON :

9. WHITE KNUCKLES : Fistfuls of you… You pulled me through with white knuckles…

Fistfuls of you”

Has someone ever grabbed you to save you from a dangerous situation? Once during a threesome.

10. THIS IS HALLOWEEN : “I am the clown with the tear-away face

Here in a flash and gone without a trace. I am the “who” when you call, “Who’s there?”

I am the wind blowing through your hair. I am the shadow on the moon at night

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright”

What is the oddest thing you ever did on Halloween? I don’t remember anything. But I’ll do something weird on Sunday so I can answer this one next year.

11. THE WOW : “I’m worse than what you think you’d catch from me. Complicated’s understated. Did you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?”

Have you ever been through a divorce? Ha!

12. THE FOOD PYRAMID : “Everybody! My body is a pyramid that’s made of healthy food so do what we say (yeah) eat right every day (food) I love you.”

What does your food pyramid look like? I got nothing here folks. Insert your own wise ass comment.

13. THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE : “Hey you, what do you see?

Something beautiful, something free? Hey you, why you trying to be mean?

You live with apes man, it’s hard to be clean”

What makes a person beautiful? Beautiful eyes and big ta-tas. Or you didn’t mean women? My bad. We’re back with Crazy Sam.

Thank you for dropping

by WTIT: The Blog today.

Next time we might be excellent.
Check that, we also might not.

Time will tell.

But doesn’t it always?
We’re back with Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9.
Join us Saturday. Same time. Same blog.

Thanking the Groom

Posted in: Wednesday Wickedness. 8 Comments

Welcome to Wednes d a y Wickedness on WTIT: The Blog. This meme appealed to us because of a twist in its concept. Each week Janera Jepson (its host) picks a celebrity. She digs up ten quotes from the person and asks her questions based on the quotes. Who would think someone would do something original? We didn’t see that coming. Anyway, she is a friend of Crazy Sam, so we are on board. Let’s do it. The quotes and meme questions are in bold.

Wednesday Wickedness: Stephen King

1. “I tend to scare myself…”

When was the last time you scared yourself? When I said, “I do” at my last wedding.

2. “Time heals all wounds…”

What was the longest it took you to recover from an illness, injury or surgery? I lost over a year due to multiple surgeries and a staph infection. Oh and in case you’re considering trying this: When people start asking you about your obit, it is never a good sign.

3. “Your first impulse is to share good news. Your second is to club someone over the head with it…”

What was the last good news you had to share? That I was going to have more time to work on that obit.

4. “When it comes to the past, we all stack the deck…”

Is there something in your past you speak highly of that was not so great while you were going through it? Losing my virginity to Spanish twins. I should have paid more attention in Spanish class. When dealing with a tender body part, you gotta choose your words carefully!

5. “Do you drink? Of course! I just said I was a writer!..”

What do you need to drink to do? Anything on days ending in ‘y”.

6. “If you liked being a teenager, then there’s something really wrong with you…”

What did you like about being a teenager? WTIT. We were only 15 when we recorded our first tape. A guy who recorded briefly with us in the 90s was fascinated by our start. He said, “We just were fucking around. You guys were doing something important.” I laughed when Sam Buca said that. “At the time, “ I countered, “We thought we were just fucking around.”
