Gene Wilder - Young Frankenstein (1974) - Puttin' on the Ritz

Puttin’ on the Ritz
 Well it has happened again fun seekers, I got up this morning and an ear worm has invaded my brain pan, it wouldn’t be bad if it was something new, current or even a classic rock tune, but NO, what is it you ask… well even if you didn’t I am going to tell you anyway.
It is Puttin’ on the Ritz, the ear worm must have triggered due to watching Mel Brook’s movie Young Frankenstein for what my wife will say was the 218th time I have seen it. I can’t help it if it’s funny it is always funny!
It has gone so far that at one point today I was on youtube.com watching the video and then doing a search for different versions of the song upon which I found 6 versions of the song ending with the 1980’s Billboard’s top 100 favorite by Taco.
Today I was obsessed with it, I hope the next ear worm is just as entertaining.

Snarky Thursday

Well it is Thursday morning and I must have gotten up on the smart ass side of the bed. I have been snarky and quick with a quip today. It must have been something in my coffee or maybe the moon is in a wise cracking phase. I could tell it was going to be yet another day of odd conversations and weird answers.

 When I got up this morning I was speaking with a sibling and I was asked why I didn’t say happy birthday to them, I said that is because we are not even sure it was your real birthday, and that our parents found you in a trash bin at the end of the street and adopted you. The reply I received was oh it’s going to be one of those days with you eh? Apparently this happens often which makes me find it funnier even more than I did before.

 When I came in to work this morning my supervisor made a comment about my belt and my Boots, I promptly replied I will give you my size if you want to purchase me something you think I should be wearing, and that being a fashion diva did not suit him and that a raise in pay would be necessary for any purchase at all. What did I get out of him a face that looked like it was hit by a box of hammers and a noise I can only assume was that of discouragement that he couldn’t get his way or make me feel like I was under his thumb.

At my desk a friend asked me what I thought Alligator’s used for dental floss, I told her People! She gave me a smug look and walked away. Another coworker and good friend walked by and asked me how my day was, I made a comment about how it felt like an odd day and they replied join the club, I replied no thanks I would not be a member of a club that has you in it.

 I can see a trend happening already and it is only 10 in the morning.

Happy Snarky Thursday everyone!

The age of “Because I can”

Do you remember the age you were and the first time you were able to use the phrase “Because I can” for the first time.

 I remember the first two times I was able to use that phrase. The First was when I got my first paycheck and I wanted to go to Burger King on a Saturday afternoon, my father said, why you going to Burger King there are plenty of things in the house you can eat. I remember thinking fine and feeling slightly sad and then a milliseconds later I hear angelic music and a light bulb flashed. I turned and looked at him and said because I can. It was like I was 10 feet tall, and that burger and fries was the best tasting lunch I had eaten

 The second memorable time I was able to use that phase was around 6 months after I was paying rent and out of High school. I informed my parents that I was going out and I would not be back until tomorrow sometime in the late morning. I started to get the lecturing and I stopped them cold with the I’m staying out because I can, I’m an adult I have a job, I pay to live here and I want too, there for I am going out and staying out because I can.

 After a moment of quiet that seemed to last forever I got the speech about my house my rules, I apologized and then looked at the both of them and say “May I go out and stay out over night and be back late morning, because I can and you say so…hahaha after a laugh I got the go ahead and I felt like I was on top of the world.

Can you remember your first “Because I can Moment”?
