The Girly Anti-Geek

Perhaps the development in technology where someone pushes a button and the computer tells you whether or not you’ve spelled anything wrong is the greatest invention ever.

Maybe it’s a common sense thing.

Maybe it’s just me.

But at least we have things like this to make us smile.

Grandy tries to telecommute once a week. It helps because it takes me over an hour EACH WAY to get to and from work. The company really gets more out of Grandy on days that I telecommute, I tell ya. Rather than spend 2 1/2 hours on the road, and 11 hour in the office, they get me for about 13-14 hours. Woo. Hoo. YAY ME! (Really…Grandy needs help!)

Last week Hubby commented on whether or not my purple fuzzy slippers counted as “business attire”, it reminded me of this picture that someone sent me.

I don’t know about you…but I’m thinking my purple fuzzy slippers are a far cry better than the image this picture puts forth.  Not sure what the hubby would say if I tried this one, but there’s not enough therapy in the world for what would happen if I telecommuted like this and the boy walked in.

NOPE!  NOT ENOUGH THERAPY!!!!

If you are a Blogger, you find yourself walking the fine line of what to share and what not to share.

Ever since I started my blogging adventure, I notice that my outlook on life has changed.  I will walk into a situation and think to myself, “I wonder if I should blog about this?”  Typically the answer is ALWAYS a YES.  However getting it down into a post that is still funny to the rest of the web, is a different story entirely.

How does one know when they’ve shared too much? Sometimes I think some bloggers can use a little guidance in that arena.

To me though, I think being a blogger means you have to be a little bit like this banana.  A little bit perverse, and you might scare some away, but who the hell cares.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYBODY!!!

Ain’t that the TRUTH?!?

I have posted a couple things from YouTube in the past.  I like to experiment and find funny things there (face it…who doesn’t?). 

What I have NOT ever done is post my own video on there.  The main reason is because I don’t have a video camera.  Another reason is…well…frankly I wouldn’t know how to. 

**Insert you techno geeks out there sighing relentlessly at me saying, “Grandy it’s not that hard!!!”**

I’m not alone in this folks.  It may surprise you to know that a lot of people I know also don’t post videos on there. So, there are a lot more of me out there than there are of you. 

HOWEVER…and you knew this was coming…I have recently learned that a friend of mine DOES have a video on there.  This video really cracks me up!  I wonder if it is funnier to me because I know him, or because I know him and know he’s under the influence, or is it because he just looks like a goof ball.

I’m impressed he even shared the video clip with me AND said I could post it wherever I wanted.  Maybe I should post it to my other site too… maybe. 

Grandy has a tough week ahead of her, and will be out of town two days of this upcoming week.  These won’t be “overnight” trips, but they will be at least a couple hours in the car each way, and will make for very long days. 

In honor of the long days I have ahead of myself, I am going to post some email pics that I keep around just to make me smile. 

Wouldn’t everyone want a water-cooler like this in their office?

And I really do find myself chanting this poem to whoever will listen. It’s worth the smile every time.:

I found this video a while ago, over at my bloggy girlfriends’ place, See Hear Speak No Evil, and was in need of a giggle this afternoon.  This clip cracks-me-up!!  EDDIE IZZARD IS BRILLIANT!!

**special note: There are curse words in this clip**

Do you know how much time this must have taken to complete?  I’m not sure but I think that the verbal part must have been performed at a comedy show.  Someone just used their creativity and technicall frame-by-frame skills to put it all together in this hysterical clip. 

I have never posted any videos anywhere myself.  Maybe one of these days I’ll do a video clip on my phone.  Or I think my laptop has the video camera capabilities.  I just wouldn’t want it to be total caca.  There is a lot of caca on YouTube… but it is some stuff like this that keeps me coming back.

Have any of you readers ever posted anything on YouTube?  If so, give me the link and I will come check it out!  PROMISE!!!

Enjoy!!!

How did this commercial NOT make it into the mid-game viewing of the Superbowl, as it was intended?  I would have remembered this for SURE!!

I don’t know folks, the talking frogs never really had much to do with the beer they were selling, and yet they were a hit.  There are A LOT of commercials that air during the superbowl that require you to really pay attention to what is actually being SOLD. 

This commercial, if it weren’t for the logo branding in the before and after, you would have NO IDEA it was for a beer. 

The fact that people were paid to make this, and it wasn’t a home video (of sorts) makes it that much funnier.

Think the ad guy that wrote this spot still has a gig?  I know it made me smile, but it didn’t so much make me thirsty. 

Am I the only one???

One hobby you will NEVER find on my list is shopping.  I will do it out of necessity only.

I make no apologies for the fact that I am NOT a fan of Wal-Mart. Yes, their prices are fair and reasonable. However, the store is in constant CHAOS mode. So many people, funky lighting, cranky workers, crankier customers with a sense of entitlement. I feel like I’m at one big GARAGE SALE. I’m not a fan of those either…in case you couldn’t tell.

Maybe my self-diagnosed ADD is worse than I thought and all the stimulation is an irritant?

Nahhh…I would never love Las Vegas if that were the case.

When I got this picture in my email from a friend of mine…I could NOT pass it up!!  It’s our dancing smiley ball bouncing Right.In.FRONT of us!!  Whoever took this photos should have demanded an autograph.

I don’t know what we did for giggles before the internet. 

Where did those classic funny pictures go before we had email and postings on the internet?  Did they sit in someone’s photo box just wasting away to nothingness?  If that’s the case, I am here to say…THANK YOU INTERNET!!

As a result of the wonderful internet technology, and the glorious communication portal known as “e-mail”, people have shared many giggles and outright gafaws at the expense of others. 

As a new feature here at The Girly Anti-Geek, we are going to focus Mondays (since we all need some smiles on Monday) on “Monday Email Funnies”.  Things that are found in Grandy’s email that are a shame to waste on just me.  I would love to be able to “cite” the appropriate sources of such giggles but am afraid that when they come to my email there is no source available.  So…if it’s yours I’m sorry.  If it’s YOU then THANK YOU!!

So…without further adieu…we’ll start of this Monday event with some Rednecks because let’s face it…Rednecks do dumb things. 

Redneck Horseshoes…

Redneck Gingerbread House…

Redneck Palm Pilot…

More to follow next week…

But wait!  There’s MORE!!!
