So there's a little chip in my car's windshield, probably caused by a rock or other road flotsam being kicked up and slammed at great velocity into the glass. The funny thing is, it kind of looks like a little hat, or maybe a roof on the old-style Pizza Hut restaurants. I'm watching it to make sure it doesn't start growing, in which case I'll have to have it fixed. Maybe I'll rub toothpaste on it to see if it will go away (that probably won't work unless the chip is caused by tartar buildup or gengivitis). Worth a try. My car needs to be minty fresh.
In a few weeks, my blog will turn 4 years old. Judging by the other 4-year-old in my life, this is the point where the blog will refuse to pick up its toys, it will throw horrendous tantrums at bedtime and it will start saying the darndest things (including some words we don't like to hear coming from a 4-year-old). Go to your room, blog, and spare us the drama! According to my archives, I used to be a whole heckuva lot funnier than I am now. So sorry.
Parting shot: Do you think people named "Stan" get really sick of everyone saying, "Stan the Man"????
***Gold stars, or a tube of toothpaste, to whomever can name what inspired this post's title.
Hmm..no clue about where the title came from.
But you are still very funny!
Your blog is 4 now, so it can start kindergarten next year.
Sorry, got nothing on the inspiration for the name of the post. But I do have a suggestion about the chip in the windshield. Call your car insurance people. Sometimes the policy covers fixing a chip--when it's little it can be fixed easy and cheap in half a day at the glass shop. And by "covers" I mean no deductible, it just pays for it. Good luck.
Ummmm, was the title inspired by a Cocteau Twins song (or one of their song titles)? It sounds like something they would write.
Hope the pizza hut roof zorro hat chip doesn't grow!!
I had to go back and see how old my blog was. It will be 4 in April ( of course mine started as a consolidated effort, but has continued through the changes) I keep saying the same thing, that I was funnier then. Maybe it's like when you're first dating (or maybe married), you bring out the good stuff. Then, as time goes on, you don't always shave your legs, or brush your teeth first thing in the morning. It's still love..just a more relaxed version.
title inspired by acid?
Oh man, I hate when that happens to a windshield. Just the other day, a truck tire kicked up rocks into mine, and I cringed but got lucky.
As for your post title's inspiration? Ummm, Catherine Zeta-Jones?
My blog is nearly 4 years old as well. That's a long time. And occassionally, I can still find something interesting to say.
Have a great day, and I'd sure like to see another picture or two.
