For my 100th post, I Pray for You (in a good way)!

Wow...My 100th post!  How about those Shenanigans?  I've really enjoyed blogging, and hope to continue bringing you funny stories, coupons, and deals!

Pray for You is a new country song that I originally saw on Three Rights and a Left blog and have now heard it on the radio twice!  At first, I didn't give the song much chance, so I want to warn you to at least give it 40 seconds to get past the intro.  Even the Mr. got a chuckle or two out of it!!

I am sure we could all dedicate this song to someone in our lives!  Even if you don't want to admit it, you know it is true.  I'm not being mean; this is just us being human!  I am sure glad a man is singing it, but I wouldn't be surprised if a women wrote the lyrics!!

I hope you get a great laugh out of it on this hump day!

What Happened to B92?

I need a new radio station for my dial.  Apparently B92 is no longer and now it is 92 The Box ("is hip hop").  Their tag line, which I heard on the way home yesterday, is "we're going to turn Hollywood into HollyHOOD."  I hope they are talking about Hollywood, California! As many of you know, I have a certain affinity towards Hollywood, South Carolina and want it to stay HollyWOOD!  There is enough Shenanigans going on in Hollywood without making it "the Hood!"

Here is the City Paper article about it with a link to their ridiculous YouTube video.

OK, so I need your help.  Give me another station for my dial. What's on your dial?

Here's my current dial:
92.5 (got to go!)
93.3 (this is the only rap station I like...I never listen to it, but I am a station flipper.  I stop on the songs)
95.1 (I wish there was another station in Charleston with this music...we need two)
96.9 (Glad we have two country stations)
102.5 (This replaced Alice 100.5 when it left)
103.5 (The only consistent station in town)

What do Vasectomies have to do with March Madness?

The alarm goes off at 5AM and the TV turns on at 5:02AM.  While trying to wake up (it usually take 45 mins), I hear "Vasectomies increase by 50% the week of March Madness..."  So, naturally I try to tune in a little harder.  This is what I found out...

"SEATTLE (KING5.com)– It appears men have found out that the first week of the NCAA Tournament is the perfect time to get a vasectomy.

Across the country, urologists like Dr. Stephen Jones of the Cleveland Clinic find that the number of scheduled vasectomies tends to jump by 50 percent the week that the tournament begins.

"We'll certainly see a load start early Thursday morning and they're prepared by the time the games get started. A lot of those guys are already ready. They're propped back and hopefully icing down and ready for a good weekend," said Jones.
A good weekend of doing nothing but chilling out with your feet up. So, no working on that honey-do list.

"At least 24 to 48 hours with an ice pack on. Frozen peas and corn are often used. Some of the guys tease about a cold beer. I'm not sure how well that works," said Jones.

Doctors have noticed a similar jump in surgeries just before the Super Bowl, too.

What if you want to use a vasectomy as an excuse for next year? The procedure is reversible, so you can do it all over again."

The Marriage Ref

Have you seen the ads about the new TV show, "The Marriage Ref?" The Mr. and I have, and we can't wait to see it!  The show is produced by Jerry Seinfeld and has other comedian types on the show as well.  From the ads, it looks like people write into the show about an issue in the marriage to get the "refs" opinions.  The "refs" will also decide who is RIGHT (oh, every spouses' dream...right?).  The "refs" have no clinical background, so I am looking forward to it being SUPER FUNNY!

Here is one of the ads to the show.

If you were to write into the show, what would you want an answer about? The Mr. and I would probably write in about this "race car" he wants! 

Series Premiere: Thursday, March 4 10/9c

Graham's Video of Going to Camp! Oh the EXCITEMENT!

Remember this post?  This is the video of Graham going to camp!  You'll even get a glimpse or two of the Mr.!  Yes, that is me narrating in the background.  I hope this video finds you well!

Fun Super Bowl Commercials

I didn't actually see this one last night (not sure where I was), but I heard all about it on the way into work this morning.
I have watched this thing 15 times, and I still think it is so FUNNY!

Doritos Commercial Kid Slaps A Man For Dating His Mom! (official title)

Oh no, you just got SLAPPED! (my title)



It makes me want to eat some Doritos for sure!

Graham's bone of choice

Graham would much rather chew on a bottle than a bone.  In fact, he has no interest in bones at all!  Here is him trying to wrestle the cap off "his mom's" Diet Coke Bottle before it goes to the recycling bin!
Are we bad parents for letting him do this?

Crazy Dream

The other night, I dreamed (dreamt?) I was in high school, and I just got my first car.  I knew I was in a dream when it was a two door Lexis with heated seats (In fact, that is all I really remember about the dream....)!  The funny thing is this car is totally not me.  I have never even said I like this car.  After all, I'm a "four door kinda girl!"  What does this dream say about me or mean??? ¡Ay, caramba!

I actually drove this in High School.

"The Great '88!"  It was brown with "pinky brown" plush interior. I had a portable CD player I would insert an adapter into the tape deck of the car to listen to my "tunes." Those were the days! 

What was your first car?

Operation Repo = The Definition of Shenanigans

I will be the first to say that this show is completely trashy, and if my mother knew her baby girl watched this, she would probably ring my neck (ouch!).  However, this show makes me laugh so hard I sometimes cry. 

I promised a "shout out" in this post to friends MM & her Huntmaster Hubby, as they suggested this post.  Here's their review of the show: "We didn't watch op repo last night, but a couple weeks ago, I was about to wet my pants it was so funny!" 

Their theme song to a Mexican tune (apparently it's Puerto Rican after reading YouTube comments...let's be PC people) and their tag line of "It ain't no joke if you don't pay that note" makes me giggle just thinking of it. 

The show comes on tru TV Monday nights at 10PM. You have to check it out at least once!  I promise you will get more than a few chuckles out of it!  If anything, you'll never forget or miss a car payment ever (again?) for fear these jokers will show up in your driveway!

I guess I am not the only one who watches the show because it appears the lead guy in the show, Lou, is the producer of their upcoming movie.  The movie seems absolutely ridiculous (p.s. it was supposed to come out in 2008, but hasn't yet)!  The plot of the movie is they repo a Dodge Magnum, as they do all the time in the show, and they happen to upset these "thugs." Well, they kidnap the head guy's daughter, Lyndah,  as revenge, so Lou and the gang "take the law in their own hands" to fight these thugs to get Lyndah back (the movie trailer shows a scene were Lou states "No cops" (what a role model?)).  Just a guess, but I think if this ever comes out it will be rated R (duh!).

Movie Website-Click Here

I wonder if they will have a Red Carpet Movie Premiere for this movie!  If so, sign me up!  I'll bet you'll to go too (wink)!  How 'bout those Shenanigas?
