WTIT: The Blog

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. Let’s begin!

Saturday 9: Da Ya Think I’m Sexy

1. When do you feel that you are at your sexiest? Between 10:33 PM and 11:03 AM. Give or take 13 hours.

2. What’s your favorite magazine? Why? Horse and Hound. Why? I’m trying to impress Anna Scott.

3. What’s something you do more quickly than most people? Drive. Hey lady, pull over!

4. When do you first remember using a computer? I owned a chain of video stores for 10 years (1981-1990). We computerized them around 1984. My personal computer was really just a word processor. I thought it was amazing.

5. Who is the craziest person in your family? My Uncle Fred fashioned himself as an inventor. He thought he really had a winner with his wearable gum ball machine. Try as he would, no one ever noticed him trying to sell his gum. Fortunately his wife, my Aunt Maxine, worked as a prostitute part time. So when she went off duty, Uncle Fred would wear her wig and g-string to walk around selling gum. Sales went WAY up, but I always had the feeling that people bought the gum to make him go away. Go figure.

6. What one thing are you craving today? A UConn win. It’s been a crazy season with Calhoun out with his back problems. When his legs got severe nerve pain, he immediately took a leave of absence. He has the same thing that I did. I waited a year and a half to take a leave. Being a millionaire has its perks. He’s being operated on Monday. I had to wait six weeks before I could be fit in. I’m whining here, aren’t I? So, never mind.

 7. What is your favorite thing to spend money on? Gum. I want Uncle Fred to go away, too.

8. What’s the part of your morning you least look forward to every day? Waking up. If it’s before noon, I consider it the middle of the night.

9. What are some rules you have for yourself that don’t really make much sense? None. All MY rules make sense.

1. History does not repeat itself. Historians merely repeat each other.

2. If it’s any good at all, they will discontinue it.

3. People who love sausage and respect the law, should never watch either being made.

4. The one-day you’d sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.

10. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

11. It is easier to beg forgiveness than get permission.

12. If you starve with a tiger, the tiger starves last.

13. How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are.

14. By the time you get to the point where ends meet, somebody moves the ends.

15. Borrow from pessimists. They never expect it back.

16. He who hesitates is probably right.

17. Generalizations are always false, including this one.

18. Few women admit their age. Fewer men act it.
