Thank you Allison for hosting Sunday Stealing. to join in click here.
1. What’s your favorite frozen treat on a stick? Possum. It’s a Beverly Hillbillies’ thang.
2. What’s your favorite lollipop? I just can’t go there…
3. When you passed notes during class in high school, who was mostly often the recipient? I gave up passing notes in third grade. In high school it was more like, “Meet me at my car. I’ll show you another new trick…”
4. Who among your high school friends was the first to get his or her own car? That would be me. The Budmobile was one ugly fucker of a car, but it helped us meet girls.
5. Who’s the black sheep in your family? I’m guessing this expression really just a racial slur. So while tempting, no.
6. Who’s the family historian? Where? At WTIT? That is I, for sure. I even have all these chapters written from both blog posts and new stimulus, ready for “the book”. As far as Tape Radio goes, I did start it. I asked Bouncing Billy to do the very first show. We didn’t have the “W-Tales-In-Tape” call letters yet. Billy and I did create them during our next recording session and both of us don’t know who thought of them. I know I keep saying this, but Bouncing Billy back recording with us as a full time DJ after leaving in 1985 is such a blast! Rock & Midnight while recording at WTIT now for over 25 years themselves, missed Billy’s exit a couple of years prior to their starts. On our last session Tape 581, Rock explained how neat it was to have a “founding father” back since all he had been was a voice on a tape or a photo on the wall.
7. What was the last thing you sprayed from a spray bottle? You mean as opposed to spraying something from a non-spray bottle? Sorry folks, I’m getting dizzy. This is a “perfume” or “odor bathroom spray” question. Next?
8. What was the last thing you sprayed from an aerosol can? You gotta be fucking kidding me. Can we have some clarification here between spray and aerosol can? Holy shit, Jodi! I shouldn’t be that surprised. I saw where this meme was stolen.
9. When did you last make reservations for something? I’m guessing dinner, hotel or plane. Which one is really nt worth the fucking time it took me to type this response.
10. What’s your next upcoming appointment? I have two doctor’s appointments next week. Wow. This is like therapy except the questions are sophomoric and the person asking them is a twelve year-old as oppose to say, a trained professional.
11. What store’s departure from your preferred shopping mall most saddened you? My “preferred shopping mall” is an oxymoron. But it took an actual moron to ask it. And “sadden” from a store moving? Really? I’m begging here, no more mall questions!!!
12. What’s good to eat at your preferred shopping mall? Aim the fucking game at my temple and don’t miss. I’m begging here, no more mall questions!!!
13. What services (as opposed to goods) do you pay for at your preferred shopping mall? This had to come from a Radio Shack “Welcome to Selling Batteries Forever” employee’s manual.
14. What’s a store you’ve never been inside at your preferred shopping mall? I really don’t understand. While I know Allison lives in Maine and maybe there are still malls there, or she stole this from a 1995 post. I’m guessing the latter.
15. What kind of store would you most welcome in your preferred shopping mall? I swear this was a paid survey by a certain mall somewhere, someplace over the fucking rainbow.
16. What did you most recently purchase at an office supply store? I think
17. What did you most recently purchase at a book store? That I
18. What did you most recently purchase at a drugstore? Fucking tried
19. What did you most recently purchase at a convenience store? To do this
20. What did you most recently purchase at a thrift shop? Fucktardian meme.
I really don’t know what I can add here. I hope you had a great Saturday. It was our first time having cocktails on our deck this year. I’ve banked and shopped on line since 2001. I have an app so I don’t need to go to the bank to deposit a check. All these retail and mall questions really through me. I read a report on how my dad is not adapting well to his new surroundings. He went from no freedom to quite a bit except leaving. My brother told me earlier this week that telling my dad “The truth…is not an option.” But he had to tell him quite a bit of truth today. My dad is on a floor where he has a studio apartment, three meals in a restaurant “take orders” setting and a pub with a happy hour. He shows up only for dinner (because he sleeps till 2PM) at five minutes before close as if it were a cruise ship that served you whenever you wanted it. I know my brother had to start the reality check today. But when I said we had to do that, I was nuts. A week later he is doing it. Oh well, he is paying serious $$$ for this. Back my peeps, very soon. Same time. Same blog.
That’s some car. One of my friend’s parents had an old, Dodge Dart that we drove around in. Ugly rusty white beast but we still thought we were cool.
It was ugly but it got us there…
You’ve got awesome photos of WTiT back in the day.
I hope your dad adjusts to his new living arrangements.
I think he’ll have to… Thanks!
Last week you gave me some very good advice about my best friend. You said that some situations just need to breathe a bit. Maybe your dad is requires more time to let this whole thing decant?
You reminded me something about my long ago high school days. Every conversation about every upcoming date included the question, “Does he have a car?” Not a “good car,” or a “new car” or an “attractive car.” Just “a car.” If it ran, that was enough.
Thanks. And it was enough if it ran…
Fucktardian indeed.
I hope I get a pub and a studio apt. when my kids are in charge of me. 🙂
Me too!
I have another acquaintance who just had to put her mother in a nursing home. I did it myself 14 years ago. It is really, really tough.
A very rough time…
These placement issues. Homes.. etc are just too close to home atm. Lol! Someone in the side bar looks like Jack Black, but I’m guessing it’s not. Oh, preety bird!
Indeed
It’s hard to tell from the picture, but that car looks a lot like one my grandmother had when I was little. She and I painted it one day….mixed all the leftover paints she had, which created a lovely pinkish beige color that we applied with brushes. Please say the Budmobile wasn’t pinkish beige…that my grandmother’s car didn’t find you.
It’s a tough situation you’re in with your dad and your brother. I hope it all gets to a point where it’s a little easier and goes a little smoother. I know it’s not your thing, but it’s mine…so I’ve said a prayer. Hope you don’t mind.
I don’t mind at all. I really appreciate it…
