Goodbye Yellow Brick Thunks

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: I’m So Proud

1. What are you proud of? I’ve always said that I’d like to be remembered as a great dad to my kids. On The Blog, I hope people realize that I play the character of Mr. Weiser, but I’m not him. The humor is all me, but the morality is the character’s. When my lady moved in there were those who suggested that I tone down talking about blowjobs and the like. My lady is very wise and knows that WTIT: The Blog is currently my crazy creative outlet. If she doesn’t care that I discuss sleeping with French twins, I don’t know why a reader should. But I do get the criticism.

2. What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize? How did you win it? I was in marketing in 2000 for a fortune 500 company and the Vice President awarded me for “Outstanding Achievement”. That was cool. The prize was only $100. but at the time I felt like a million bucks.

3. Tell us about something you’ve done that in retrospect was a waste of time. Thursday Thunks. I was asked to join the two writers to keep it alive and fresh. And don’t get me wrong, I love Kimber & Berleen. But it is not my blog. I hoped to keep it from crashing and burning. I wrote my last one this past week. Either they will do it or they won’t. It’s not under my control. If I were to do a Thursday meme, which I do not plan to do, it would be my concept and thus my blog.

Heather and Bud in 1975 in WTIT’s Maplewood Studio.

4. How old were you when life changed the most for you? How did it change? The day my first child, Heather was born. I knew I would forever be different because of the instant love that I felt. I was only 22, and I was right.

5. Tell us about a place you that you’ve been that you considered to be very tranquil. I was in a MRI today. I was lying on pillows and listening to CS & N. It was very tranquil. I mean for a place without naked women.

6. Who is your favorite news anchor/reporter? Why? I watch Brian Williams. He’s too pompous for my taste, but I’ve watched NBC since Huntley-Brinkley.

7. If you were to have the opportunity to name a new town or city, what would you call it? Why? The Twin Cities. What do you mean that it’s already taken? Well, fuck Minnesota. I thought of it first. Well then second.

8. What is something about which you’ve always wondered but have not yet found a good answer? Why the fuck I do these memes.

9. When you can’t go to sleep, what is your personal remedy to help yourself drift into Lullabyland? Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll. Join us with Judd, tomorrow. Peace!

We’re glad that you stopped by today.
Enjoy your weekend.

>Oh hey! Whoa! Wait a minute here! Do you mean to tell me that you're really NOT a man-whore?? Wow … I am so disillusioned to hear that Bud Weiser is really just an altar ego; this is almost like finding out there's really no Tooth Fairy! Seriously, though, if your lady knows the real you and she's good with the blog-you then it sounds to me like you've found the perfect match (or as close to it as one can get at any rate!)

>You definitely are a great father. : ) Yeppers, the twins are cool with me. 😉 Methinks an MRI is not what comes first to mind when one thinks "tranquil". Brian is cool. I like how they have the wave of stars sceened behind his head.

>I thought the reason why most people have blogs was to be some fictional version of themselves…I don't really wear a fez and galoshes…all the time, that is. And as long as Kathy understands, isn't that all that matters? AS king Thom would say, pfffft to the critics.I have to agree with your lady about the MRI…claustrophobic is what comes to mind, but as long as you were chilling…(hope all is well with you, BTW)Enjoy the weekend, Bud(rick) And make the twins cook up some soup for your sick lady.

>Hope the MRI gave you some good results.I'm glad DJ KathyA encourages your blogging. 🙂 The world needs a Bud Weiser!

>an MRI is far from my idea of tranquil – it's panic attack X 1000 After several failed attempts to have one done, I have to be knocked out to go anywhere near those things. the open one or the tunnel of doom.have a super weekend Bud!

>Linda-You're too funny! I'm not sure about "perfect" but I'm glad we are together…

>Kath-Thanks!

>I was smiling peacefully reading until I got to the final sentence on #5 LOL!The Twins look so beautfiul today.

>You mean to tell me that Bud Weiser isn't your real name? pffft…where the hell have I been. So I suppose the FT aren't real either? I'm crushed…how will I ever recover from this dramatic information. If TT crashes and burns oh well. People gotta take responsibility for their meme's I suppose. And they should also comment on the meme's the host. I don't think I ever get a comment from either one of those two pffft…Oh well. Happy Saturday 🙂

>Debster-It was very open. But, I've had 7 back surgeries. I started out claustrophobic but adjusted… 🙂

>Allison-Yes, she does and thanks!

>Deb-I love "tunnel of doom"! Too funny…

>Hazel-Thanks! the twins are at their best today…

>Thom-It is what it is. I've been stretched too thin. I thought of just taking a long break. But I just realized that I had to cut back on what I do….

>Somehow I never imagine you feeling "tranquil" around naked women …And yes, I know it's "Bud Weiser" I'm imagining, not the real man. It's obvious how much you respect your Lady, and it's also obvious you're just giving vent to your naughtier side with this blog.

>OMG…is that an ASHTRAY on the table by that sweet little baby girl???! Yikes. The 70's were scary times it seems.

>LOL Bud. I'd say be nice to Minnesota, but meh…I live here and it's too easy to make fun of it. We have Farve…need I say more? Have a great weekend!

>So the FT's and the BJ's are ok? What about JH????Seriously though, I think we all know it's all in fun and that you are a good grandfather/father. Believe it or not, despite the freeloader bashing on my blog, I am a good mother. So, I can relate to what you are saying.You really did resuscitate TT. Thom makes a good point too.
