Lola: Fare Thee Well

Before we get to Crazy Sam and her Saturday 9, I have to update those who were with us through our original Saturday feature, Lola’s Saturday 8. With Lola this was a fantastic feature. Her questions and personality were the direct opposite of ours. It was SO easy just bitching at her about how stupid her question was. She hated us and our participation in her meme. She’d ALWAYS delete our comment even if we just said, “We have done it. Our answers are up”.

Lola had maybe four people that still did the meme. But it all went fine until she changed websites; and then started skipping weeks. First it was a couple of weeks. And then it was more. She then skipped LOTS of weeks. By the end, she posted much less than one a month. Anyway most of this we have said in our regular prelude to each week’s Saturday 9 (and how we discovered this current feature.) We miss her. We fought so much and the posts we did back then were some of this sites’ best comedy. We read those posts recently by clicking the feature/label name Saturday 8 on my side bar. Today exactly 90 days after her final post, we said goodbye to Lola on her blog. As of Saturday May 17, 2008 at 20:25 hours, Lola has not deleted our message. Maybe we do get the last word! Today we posted our farewell on her site:

And yet you never even said goodbye. Mores the pity. I hope you have a great life & thanks for the memories!

We’re glad Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9 took her place. But Sam is nice. Lola was an ass. Making fun of an ass is better comedy (Sorry, Sam!) yet we have had a great response to this newer feature. Let’s get started!
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 our prior Saturday meme specialist (and great buddy) Lola went into hibernation. (Lola seemed to try to post occasionally, but it appeared that her sporadic posting took its toll. She had lost the few folks that had still participated to Crazy Sam. It now appears that she has officially retired. Her finally post appears to have been on February 16, 2008. It garnered no comments. R.I.P.) So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. We are not sure why she included us, but she did. And we are glad she did. All of Sam’s questions and writing are in bold.

1. Name the one song that reminds you of your most current or recent relationship. Can’t Get You Off of My Mind by Lenny Kravitz. It just hit us one night while we were listening to music. It expressed our feelings exactly.

2. Name the one song that was way overplayed and you hate. There were so many songs I the late 60’s and early 70’s songs that we called “bubblegum songs”. The most overplayed of that genre was in 1969 and Sugar Sugar by the Archies. A Saturday morning fucking cartoon band at that.

3. Name the one song it seems everyone loves but you don’t. “Love and Marriage.” Yea. Like you could have both.

4. Name the one song you think everyone hates but you love. I can only think of a Neil Young song. Rock Rolling, a WTIT DJ, said during a shoe: “The man cannot sing. He is a really sloppy guitarist. You like him, why?” We have to agree with the assessment, yet we still love songs by Neil Young. But as it is with other artists including Dylan, sometimes the cover versions of their songs are better.

5. Name the one song that is sung by someone you’d love to date. I’ll go with Strong Enough by Sheryl Crow. She is very talented, is smart and is hot. In fact she is by far the most talented rock female artist of the last fifteen to twenty years. And she broke it off with Lance Armstrong just before they were to wed. He only has one ball. You think? Nah, probably not.

6. Name the one song this season that was sung best on American Idol. I really enjoyed Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Jason Castro.

7. Name the one song that you think is the best love song of the 00’s thus far. It’s not a really love song, but let’s go with Love Song by Sara Bareilles. It’s smart and catchy and we can’t of another. And we promise to stop talking about her. Honest.

8. Name the one song that you think was the best 90’s song. WTIT had a Countdown Show of the Top 100 Songs of the 90’s. Mr. Jones by The Counting Crows was number one. We’ll stick with our judgment from 1999.

9. Name the one song from a TV theme that you like the best. We just heard the full version of the Cheers theme once again on our iPod. It only aired on only the last episode.

Here are the lyrics:

Making your way in the world today, takes everything you’ve got;

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
All those night when you’ve got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel hung the cat up by it’s tail;
And your third fiance didn’t show;
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see, our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee’s dead;
The morning’s looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe, and didn’t even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there’s one place in the world where everybody knows your name, And they’re always glad you came;
You want to go where people know, people are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
Where everybody knows your name, And they’re always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name, And they’re always glad you came…

We hope that when we come back
that you will be here.
We will return here on
WTIT: The Tape Radio Blog.
But, you don’t have to promise
to join us or anything like that.
And we don’t take attendence
Same time. Same Blog. Goodnight, Sam.

Our Last Saturday 8! We have brought you this feature almost since the begining of WTIT: The Blog. If were up to us we would never drop it. Many of you have said over the years that this is your favorite feature. Lola used to post new memes every week. About six months ago it became closer to once every six weeks. What we have done to keep going is to take an old meme and rework it, and we also have found old posts from searching the internet for memes written before we started this feature. They’ve gone back as far back as 2004. Some of them actually predated Lola’s days as owner of the blog. The funny thing is that she replaced a lady named Laura whose questions were just as inane. We hope to replace this feature with something equally stupid! If you have any suggestions email us! Thanks!

Saturday 8 is a feature we have brought to you almost every Saturday on WTIT: The Blog. A meme is presented with eight questions. The author for some time now is a lady named Lola. She is challenging to deal with on a variety of levels. We know she dislikes that we even do this feature because we do not take her or her meme very seriously. But we don’t take anything that seriously. Lola’s talent is to ask a meme question highlighting her thoroughly unique (mis-) use of language. She can manage to make the odds of actually understanding anything she writes or asks, close to zero. So it is unlikely that even a Mr. Spock Vulcan mind-meld would assist any of us figuring Lola’s questions out. We rationalize that it must be part of her “charm”. All quotes in bold are from Lola. Also, any spelling and grammar mistakes that are in Lola’s meme, we leave there. We wouldn’t want to mess around with her “art”.

1. new year’s plans? My plan is to invite two of my ex-girlfriends (that have contacted me recently) and invite them over. I’ll wait until after a lot of alcohol to explain my master plan. So, in all probability I’ll wind up alone with two women who will never talk to me again. You gotta admit, it is worth a try.

2. i don’t do new year’s resolutions, but i think that we all look forward to doing something differently in the new year. what will you do in 2008 that you didn’t do in 2007? Lola, this makes no sense even for you. No resolutions, but plans to do something differently? Stop the denial. You make resolutions and just don’t call them that. My only resolution is to find some other scatter brained feature to take your place.

3. in the past 24 hours, i have reconnected with 3 old friends that i’ve not spoken to in years. if you could reconnect with someone from your past who would it be, and why? Seriously, I think it would be fun to spend some time with a former lover from the distant past. This year I received a Christmas card from my first girlfriend when I was 14. She was the first girl I ever saw naked. (No, we didn’t actual “do it”, but obviously we got close.) She said she thought it would be fun to get together. My first thought was “this might get interesting”.

4. i live my life not regretting anything … or at least try not to regret anything that i’ve done, and look at life as a learning experience. do you have anything that you would have not done/done differently in 2007 as you look back? First let me comment that while it is brave of you to share your philosophy of life, I am not sure it was a wise move. “looking at life as a learning experience” is just not what we think of when we think of Lola. We think, “This broad couldn’t to get out of her house in a fire.” As far as what I should have done: I should have won the lottery. Of course, not buying tickets certainly diminished my odds.

5. going back to my ex-friends that i reconnected with, one of them REALLY let me down as she chose a guy over our friendship. she wrote to me that she would think back over these past 14 years and kick herself, and wonder what had happened to me? do you have someone that you wronged/wronged you and wonder where they are? what happened to that friendship? Your friend “kicked herself and wondered what happened to Lola”? If she’d read your Saturday 8 blog, she would at least know that you did not become a serious writer. Also, I might add, I am not surprised that she chose the guy. Now what was the question?

6. one of the other ex-friends is an ex-boyfriend that i had when i was 16. he cheated on me when i was 17, and then i ‘got over it’ and we had a cordial non-friendship. i’m married and he’s married, so i don’t have any problem talking with him as there is NO chance at stirring up any old flames. if you had a chance to reconnect with an ex, who would it be, and why? or would you let sleeping “dogs” lie? Oh. Married people don’t cheat? What is a “cordial non-friendship”? Honestly, Lola: You didn’t proof read this today, did you? I reconnect with ex’s a lot. Generally it comes with a court order to knock off the stalking.

7. i’m eating to join a weight-loss study. that’s right … i’m about 10 lbs. shy of the weight goal and am actually porking out this coming week as i get free vitamins/supplements, a free registered dietician for two years, and i also get $600/mo. to participate for two years. i’m VERY tall (over 5’9″), so this is going to be difficult! i’m gaining 10 lbs. to lose my original goal of 20 lbs., which will now be 30 lbs. (hey, i want to get back into a size 6 after being a size 10 for a few years!). to gain those 10 lbs., what do you suggest that i eat? any “fun” fattening foods that i should try? This isn’t a question, it is a novel. Lola, you are in need of serious therapy. I often say “You can’t make this shit up. It has to happen to you.” Porking out so you can lose the weight? That’s like “fucking for virginty”! As far as what you should eat: The manual that gave you this incredibly stupid idea.

8. i’m heading to disney today with the family and friends. what is your favourite theme park, and why? It’s called “My Lady of Sexual Delights”. It is in Vegas. Talk about fun rides. And wow, it just hit me. This is the last question of Lola’s I will ever answer. Who was it that said, “All stupid shit should come to an end”? Was it Blog Author Ann? Gale from her new novel? Frank from a “See It & Write It?” Bond? Linda? Lizza? Mimi? The Artist formerly known as Polliwog? It was probably from a fortune cookie.

happy new year … be safe, and i’ll see you next week 10lbs. heavier! See you then! No, actually you won’t. This is goodbye and the big kiss-off. We will miss your peanut brain and run on questions.

We hope you planning to have a terrific New Year. Parts of today’s post were originally published on December 30, 2006. WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow with Stealing. Even as I reread today’s post, I find it hard to believe that we won’t have Lola to kick around anymore. See you next time!
Same time. Same blog. Goodbye, Lola.

This isn’t a question, it is a novel. Lola, you are in need of serious therapy. I often say “You can’t make this shit up. It has to happen to you.” Porking out so you can lose the weight? That’s like “fucking for virginty”! As far as what you should eat: The manual that gave you this incredibly stupid idea.

8. i’m heading to disney today with the family and friends. what is your favourite theme park, and why? It’s called “My Lady of Sexual Delights”. It is in Vegas. Talk about fun rides. And wow, it just hit me. This is the last question of Lola’s I will ever answer. Who was it that said, “All stupid shit should come to an end”? Was it Blog Author Ann? Gale from her new novel? Frank from a “See It & Write It?” Bond? Linda? Lizza? Mimi? The Artist formerly known as Polliwog? It was probably from a fortune cookie.

happy new year … be safe, and i’ll see you next week 10lbs. heavier! See you then! No, actually you won’t. This is goodbye and the big kiss-off. We will miss your peanut brain and run on questions.

We hope you planning to have a terrific New Year. Parts of today’s post were originally published on December 30, 2006. WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow with Stealing. Even as I reread today’s post, I find it hard to believe that we won’t have Lola to kick around anymore. See you next time!
Same time. Same blog. Goodbye, Lola.

Our Last Saturday 8! We have brought you this feature almost since the begining of WTIT: The Blog. If were up to us we would never drop it. Many of you have said over the years that this is your favorite feature. Lola used to post new memes every week. About six months ago it became closer to once every six weeks. What we have done to keep going is to take an old meme and rework it, and we also have found old posts from searching the internet for memes written before we started this feature. They’ve gone back as far back as 2004. Some of them actually predated Lola’s days as owner of the blog. The funny thing is that she replaced a lady named Laura whose questions were just as inane. We hope to replace this feature with something equally stupid! If you have any suggestions email us! Thanks!

Saturday 8 is a feature we have brought to you almost every Saturday on WTIT: The Blog. A meme is presented with eight questions. The author for some time now is a lady named Lola. She is challenging to deal with on a variety of levels. We know she dislikes that we even do this feature because we do not take her or her meme very seriously. But we don’t take anything that seriously. Lola’s talent is to ask a meme question highlighting her thoroughly unique (mis-) use of language. She can manage to make the odds of actually understanding anything she writes or asks, close to zero. So it is unlikely that even a Mr. Spock Vulcan mind-meld would assist any of us figuring Lola’s questions out. We rationalize that it must be part of her “charm”. All quotes in bold are from Lola. Also, any spelling and grammar mistakes that are in Lola’s meme, we leave there. We wouldn’t want to mess around with her “art”.

1. new year’s plans? My plan is to invite two of my ex-girlfriends (that have contacted me recently) and invite them over. I’ll wait until after a lot of alcohol to explain my master plan. So, in all probability I’ll wind up alone with two women who will never talk to me again. You gotta admit, it is worth a try.

2. i don’t do new year’s resolutions, but i think that we all look forward to doing something differently in the new year. what will you do in 2008 that you didn’t do in 2007? Lola, this makes no sense even for you. No resolutions, but plans to do something differently? Stop the denial. You make resolutions and just don’t call them that. My only resolution is to find some other scatter brained feature to take your place.

3. in the past 24 hours, i have reconnected with 3 old friends that i’ve not spoken to in years. if you could reconnect with someone from your past who would it be, and why? Seriously, I think it would be fun to spend some time with a former lover from the distant past. This year I received a Christmas card from my first girlfriend when I was 14. She was the first girl I ever saw naked. (No, we didn’t actual “do it”, but obviously we got close.) She said she thought it would be fun to get together. My first thought was “this might get interesting”.

4. i live my life not regretting anything … or at least try not to regret anything that i’ve done, and look at life as a learning experience. do you have anything that you would have not done/done differently in 2007 as you look back? First let me comment that while it is brave of you to share your philosophy of life, I am not sure it was a wise move. “looking at life as a learning experience” is just not what we think of when we think of Lola. We think, “This broad couldn’t to get out of her house in a fire.” As far as what I should have done: I should have won the lottery. Of course, not buying tickets certainly diminished my odds.

5. going back to my ex-friends that i reconnected with, one of them REALLY let me down as she chose a guy over our friendship. she wrote to me that she would think back over these past 14 years and kick herself, and wonder what had happened to me? do you have someone that you wronged/wronged you and wonder where they are? what happened to that friendship? Your friend “kicked herself and wondered what happened to Lola”? If she’d read your Saturday 8 blog, she would at least know that you did not become a serious writer. Also, I might add, I am not surprised that she chose the guy. Now what was the question?

6. one of the other ex-friends is an ex-boyfriend that i had when i was 16. he cheated on me when i was 17, and then i ‘got over it’ and we had a cordial non-friendship. i’m married and he’s married, so i don’t have any problem talking with him as there is NO chance at stirring up any old flames. if you had a chance to reconnect with an ex, who would it be, and why? or would you let sleeping “dogs” lie? Oh. Married people don’t cheat? What is a “cordial non-friendship”? Honestly, Lola: You didn’t proof read this today, did you? I reconnect with ex’s a lot. Generally it comes with a court order to knock off the stalking.

7. i’m eating to join a weight-loss study. that’s right … i’m about 10 lbs. shy of the weight goal and am actually porking out this coming week as i get free vitamins/supplements, a free registered dietician for two years, and i also get $600/mo. to participate for two years. i’m VERY tall (over 5’9″), so this is going to be difficult! i’m gaining 10 lbs. to lose my original goal of 20 lbs., which will now be 30 lbs.
