I Can Name That Tune In … (Pt 3)

Ok, this is the last set.  They’ve really been pretty easy.  I will warn you that a couple of these don’t relate exactly to the song title.  That threw me a little.  See how you do.

Bestow jubilations upon the terrestrial globe.
Perceiving vibrations which stimulate auditory sense organs.
A joyful song of reverence relative to hollow metalic [...]

Happy [cough cough] Holidays

A belated wish for you to enjoy the holidays and the coming New Year. 
I’m sitting at home in my PJs and robe, with a dose of cough syrup, a cup of tea, and a movie in the DVD player.  I’m sick.  I’ve got the Kanawha crud, I suppose.  My grand-niece shared it with me in [...]

I Can Name That Tune In .. (pt. 2)

These aren’t as hard as they appear, are they?  Here’s a few more:

Decorate the entryways.
Cup-shaped instruments fashioned of a whitish metallic element.
Oh small Israel urban center.
Far off in a hay-bin.
We are Kong, Lear, and Cole.
Duodecimal enumeration of the passage of the Yuletide season.

I Can Name That Tune In …

Ahhh – since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought I’d share a little something I was given in a meeting. It’s a list of some “mind puzzles” created from Christmas songs.  Now, the paper I have calls them carols, but some of them aren’t real carols.  There are 24, but I’ll only give [...]

“Couldn’t Stand the Weather …”

So much for change …
President-elect Barack Obama’s Transition today launched “Open for Questions,” a Digg-style feature allowing citizens to submit questions, and to vote on one another’s questions, bringing favored inquiries to the top of the list.
It was suggested when it launched that the tool would bring uncomfortable questions to the fore, but the results [...]

Lay Down With Dogs ….

I’m absolutely rolling in the floor laughing my ass off!  I don’t have to tell you why — you know why.  You’ve been waiting to see what I’m going to say.  Well, here it comes …
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!!
Haaa! Haaa! Haaa!  You Obama supporters!  There ain’t no way in hell that the Big O [...]

Grudges

You know, people just p*ss me off. 
I referred you to a new forum a couple posts down.  It’s sort of a resurrection of an old forum that I started participating in a couple years ago.  My opinionated ways put people on edge immediately.  My introductory thread went two pages in between my posts and, behind [...]

Oh gods! An upgrade!

Damn! WordPress went and upgraded stuff on me. Now I have to learn to use this mess all over again.
Speaking of WordPress messes … I use WP on my professional blog, but it keeps telling me to update. I really get lost at that point because I have to download software and upload [...]

Holiday Pissyness

This is the time of year for good tidings and messages of peace and love to all men and women everywhere.  So why the hell do so many people want to get pissy over “Christmas?”
So many of the people who scream ‘tolerance’ and ‘universal love’ and ‘peace’ get their hemroids in a knot screaming that [...]

Overheard

In my “other” life, I use a few different social media programs.  Yesterday I ‘overheard’ one person make a comment that went something like this:
The high cost of health-insurance is destroying my budget. I can’t wait for national healthcare. Why should I be penalized for getting sick.
Ok, now I almost broke my jaw when it [...]
