I don’t have any idea why this artist popped into my head a few minutes ago, but I started to wonder whatever happened to Tiny Tim. I know he eventually married Miss Vicky, but I don’t rememberhearing anything about him at all in many many years. I don’t even know if he is still alive?
I remember the first time I saw him perform. I think it was on “Laugh-In.” In fact, it might have been this very clip that I found on YouTube! What a laugh!
I’d love to see re-runs of “Laugh-In!” I wonder if there are any on television?
I’m thinking about taking some courses at the local community college. I’d like to learn more about the technology of the Internet. I’ve noticed that I feel rather out-of-place among many of the folks around here lately. I need to learn how to geek-speak! Apparently more and more geeks are moving out here because their jobs do not require that they live in a specific city. So they move out to a rural area where they can live a really nice quiet life and yet make enough money to do it in style.
I noticed a few weeks ago when I attended a dinner party at one of my customer’s houses that a lot of people were talking about computers. They were using terms like dedicated hosting and network servers and bots and I realized that I was falling behind on my knowledge of the technology that is running the world. I think I’d like to keep up with it all, so as not to fall behind and feel totally technologically challenged!
Whenever I need to buy gifts for my kids, I try to buy them funny t-shirts. When I travel, rather than buy a souvenir that just collects dust, I try to find funny t-shirts that somehow represent the area that we were visiting. I try to matc up the funny t-shirts with the personality of the recipient. That way there is a greater chance that it will actually get worn. I know that there have been a lot of times that they have worn some of the shirts to school and the teachers (and other kids) got a good laugh out of them.
I’ve found that the Internet is often a good place to go if I’m looking for some specific shirt for a gift for a birthday or other gift giving occassion. I enjoy looking for them in the comfort of my own house in those cases, so I don’t have to paw through a selection at the store. Locally there really isn’t a great selection in these stores, so I depend more on the Internet or catalogs for that.
I was really delightfully surprised to see this outrageously funny commercial during the Superbowl! I thought it was extremely clever! What a riot to see Leno and Oprah promoting the Dave Letterman show!
It’s good to see Rod Stewart still out there performing. I hear that he is really tired of his old songs that made him so rich and famous. That’s too bad, those are the songs that we all grew up loving and listening to. Songs like Maggie May, Hot Legs and Forever Young are classics.
