I have discovered the most fun thing. Now granted, it is after 10:00pm, in Indiana, and according to Master Daughter, I am not to be held responsible for any Blog I post after 10:00pm. Even without any dippers of Jose Cuervo, I can find humor. And, the Tag Cloud thingy I clicked to show on my Blog today is hysterical.
Just take random words and put them together. It’s like poetry. So, I’m reading the tags and just having all kinds of ideas for new Blogs. It’s a font of inspiration.
So, here is a sample of my Tag Clouds:
Chicago Chihuahua: Now, are Chihuahua’s different in Chicago than they are in Denver? I mean, Chihuahua’s in Wyoming have to be black and wear bandanas around their necks. You can’t even buy a pickup truck in Wyoming without proof of black dog ownership. The Bandana may be a Colorado thing, now that I think of it. Wyomingites don’t want to admit they might have a dog for fun. (No offense, I love Wyoming)
FLDS food foolishness: Do I need to type anything here? Maybe something like, food can’t be red: it’s either the mark of the Devil or of blood, so that means you can’t eat apples (unless you get a heathen to peel them) or tomatoes. What about strawberries and watermelon. Is life worth living without strawberries and watermelon?
Hone Schooling humor: Gosh, what I could do with this. Now, all you homeschoolers, I know people who do a fantastic job homeschooling; unfortunately, I know too many people who have no business homeschooling. So, look at yourself and only be offended if you are in the last group and don’t write me nasty letters if you know darn well you are doing an excellent job. But, most of the home schooling parents I met had NO sense of humor. I think I’ll stop there before I say something I’ll regret in the morning and then it will be raining, in Indiana, and I won’t be able to go on and delete it and pretend I didn’t say it and I’ll get hate mail Blogs.
Indiana knitting: Perhaps we could repair our infrastructure that way. When it rains in Indiana you get a party line phone line. It doesn’t take rain to lose power. That happens once a month whether you want it to or not. The water main is the best; it only breaks every other month.
Polygamy pottery: Is that a coffee pot with eight coffee cups? Could it be a set with one large bowl and eight cereal bowls? Or a tea pot and eight teacups?
Wisconsin writing: That would be the hilarious Blog my niece would have. I will try to get her to join the family Blog-a-thon when I’m up there for the next family wedding.
Okay, I’m going to bed now. Hope I don’t hate myself in the morning.
*contemplates writing a letter about how I’m am not only an exceptionally wonderful homeschooling mom (even your Master Daughter said so!) but I’m also homeschooler with an amazing sense of humor*
I have to agree with Tali on both counts. Amazing and wonderful.
Inspired way to approach writing ideas I must say. I don’t have a tag cloud on mine. I’m almost afraid to see what it would be. I’ve been having a little fun with putting the most unlikely tag words together in a string.
I’ve become cloudy. So far I have:
Middle School Mummy Nipples
Satan Socks
Sperm Tampons
Knitting Mafia
I believe you have started a new trend.
Do you have a pattern for Satan Socks??? I’ve been wearing a lot of red lately (to keep those FLDS fanatics away probably). Satan Socks would have a pointed tale on the end of the toe instead of a nipple.
Now, Sperm Tampons, there’s an idea. Is this like invitro Tampons or frozen tampons. (Cringe!)
But, Knitting Mafia, that’s a winner. All of us knitters should form a joint blog called Knitting Mafia, as you have nothing else to do, and we could post things. Pictures of yarn we can’t afford, how wonderful our sock project is coming, how stuffy, religious, massuese Aunt Lulu used to make a little knitted item to warm a man at night.
Actually, the Tag Clouds are starting to frighten me. They just keep growing and I have visions of them taking over our zip code. But, it’s still cool wording.
Talisman:
Yup! There are ways to do homeschooling right, and it sounds like you are there.
I once was on a listserve with a potter homeschool mother who truly did awesome stuff daily with her kids.
And, you do have a sense of humor. If you didn’t you would be going home each night talking about the wierd sixth grade teacher you have to tow around each day.
Oh I still go home muttering about the weird sixth grade teacher.
