Triple M radio in Adelaide is currently doing a silly promotion, where they're asking people to answer their phones not with "Hello" but with "Triple M's new zoo makes me moo!" Yeah, okay. And if they call you and you answer this way, you win money or a prize. And during one of their promotional spots, they have somebody singing "Who let the cows out? Moo, moo moo moo!"
Silly, right? But it always makes me think of something totally different. See, where I come from (and I don't know for sure if this is just a family joke or actually a regional oddity) the two phrases "Your barn door's open" or "Your cows are getting out" mean...your zipper's open.
And I cannot help but think that every time I hear "Who let the cows out?"
To those of you who host sites here, and of course those of you who look at the sites, my apologies for the protracted downtime on Sunday, an upgrade went horribly wrong and took much longer than anticipated to rectify.
Although I predict in about three weeks when I get really comfortable, and start to do things without thinking, I'll pull out onto the wrong side of the road or something...
Yesterday I went for a little drive to do something I haven't really done in about two years: garage saleing.
The strange thing is here, people have their garage sales on Saturday and SUNDAY. Almost nobody has a sale on Sunday in River Falls. They all have them Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (with the latter two most common). And looking in the Sunday Mail, almost nobody has them on Sundays here, either. The Saturday paper had about fifteen times the number of sales the Sunday one did. So next week I'll be going on Saturday.
And while I was out, I drove past my old place in Campbelltown since there was a sale just a couple blocks away. And the grass is all waist-high, and there's no cars in the driveway, and the place just looks empty, so I suspect they're going to tear it down and build fancy new townhouses.
Oh, right...and I didn't find anything to buy. But there's always next weekend.
I like par 3 golf. I may even like it better than miniature golf. Must investigate this possibility further.
Driving a go-kart CAN actually be fun, provided you're not fighting twenty other people for the track like happened the time I did it in Wisconsin Dells.
We just got home from seeing Serenity with some friends. And let me tell you, if you're a fan of movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! During the first battle scene, Darrin whispered in my ear "Star Wars eat your heart out!"
Although if you're a hardcore fan of the original short-lived TV series, there's a couple parts you might get upset about. We all certainly did.
But that's all the spoiler you'll get, not that it's really spoiling. This is a GOOD movie.
