Random Tuesday Nonsense and Happy Thoughts

 Hey everyone.  We've been out and about a lot more recently, and I have noticed... at the risk of sounding like Maxine,  there are so many ta-tas hanging out!  Is it always like this?  Or is this a recent shift?  Ladies seem to be loving showing off their ta-tas.  A ta-ta here, a ta-ta there, Ta-Tas Everywhere!  Maybe because it is summer?  Perhaps it's been like this a while, and I'm just now noticing!  Maybe it's just my local area (doubtful).  Anyway, it is what it is.  Where has modesty gone?

How about something funny?

HAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHA!

Hope you giggled at least once.  Remember to visit Stacy's Random Thoughts and Happy Tuesday.

Have a great week!

 

Today while watching baseball, I heard this:  "Something is afoot. " You may know I love to figure out where idioms come from and what they mean.  So here goes...  I got a fairly boring response.  It means that an activity is in progress.  It also sometimes implies that something secret or surprising is happening behind the scenes. " Ahhhhh, something is afoot I see."  Imagine the voice I heard in my head as I typed it out!    

The word afoot first appeared in the 13th century(around 1275) in Middle English texts, such as the writings of the poet Laȝamon. The famous phrase "the game is afoot" was first recorded later by William Shakespeare in his play King Henry IV, Part 1 around 1597. And that's about all there is to it!

Enjoy the funnies!

Happy Soccer (Futbol) Tuesday!

 You know what's weird?  My first time serving on a jury back in the 90's was a case where we had to decide which company had the Spanish language rights for televising soccer (futbol) games for the World Cup.  At the time, I thought it was the most boring thing to be arguing about.  Both companies breached their contracts, and both were awarded money from the other one, but it was basically a wash.  Who knew then that futbol was going to become so popular?  I say "so popular" because of all the fans that follow their teams, and the sheer numbers of people who attend the fan fests, one of which was in Houston.  I'm still not wowed by the game of futbol.  To me, it just moves so slowly, and I don't like when a match ends in a tie.  That doesn't happen in my favorite sports:  Baseball and Basketball.  Anyway, just a previous personal interaction with soccer.  Are you keeping up?  Looks like there are 3 games to go.

And now... How about some soccer puns?

Ghoul Keeper!

Because she's always running away from the ball!

Because they prefer watching cricket!

That's when I knew he was a keeper!

I missed the fireworks.

 This past weekend I was at a retreat, so I didn't get to see any fireworks!  I heard the ones at the National mall were post-poned for several hours due to rain.  I would have liked to have seen our hometown fireworks.  Those for the 4th largest city in the US must have been fabulous!  But, alas, all I could do was hear the amateur pyro from where I was. Oh well.

 

And right now, I'm eating slightly expired yogurt and wondering what's going to happen to me!  Wish me luck!

A Random Person Puts Your Napkin in Your Lap

 

First of all, I'm wondering why it is customary to put our napkins in our laps when we eat.  Supposedly, one reason is to protect your clothing from spills.  But... I usually get stuff on my shirt when I spill, not my lap.  Anyone else?

Second, it signals the waiter you are ready to eat.  I'm not buying that.  A closed menu is usually what lets a waiter know you're ready.

Third, it keeps soiled napkins off the table.  Now, I can see this being a reason.

But... how do you feel about going to a fancy restaurant and this person you haven't even officially met yet is putting your napkin in your lap for you.  Do you allow this, or are you like my husband and rush to put your napkin in your lap so when the waiter gets there, it's already done. What do you think?

Have a great week!  Please visit my friends at Random Tuesday Thoughts and Happy Tuesday.  And wish me luck on my  HIDA scan today.

I love a good pun!

True.  I used to write all the time when I was teaching.  Now, not so much.

Have a great week!
