What I have learned recently.

Okay, I admit it...I've run out. It turns out that I just don't have as much to say as I thought I would. I have blogger-block(See Sorge's Blogger Dictionary for definition). So instead of harping on the news of the day or inspiring the world to broaden their minds through poetry I figured I would just wow you with some of the things I have picked up on recently.

1. If you go to Golden Corral and have the pot roast, the steak, and the ribs, and the pot roast, mashed potatoes, corn, the pot roast, seventeen rolls, the pot roast, carrots, and the pot roast you probably won't have enough room left over for the banana pudding. That just makes me sad.

2. In 1995 there were roughly five billion people living on Earth. In 1995 Baywatch was seen by one billion people. In 1995 20% of the world was watching Baywatch.

3. I have a friend that is wrapped up in a blog-stalker scene, and frankly I'm worried about her. If you have any advice on how to help her escape this life choice please comment.

4. I have learned that Haiku can bring out strong emotions in people. It makes some want to rhyme...all the time(sorry); it makes others hesitant to post their haikomments, and it can definitely change the whole landlord/tenant dynamic.

5. I have learned that when the K-Love and Air-1 radio stations have their pledge drives that I really don't mind commercials all that much.

6. Prince Charles owns a bunch of land in England and he is the Duke of something. And all the land that he owns is called The Duchy, since he is a Duke. No big point here, I just like to say "Duchy"(it's not as fun to type). Everyone say "Duchy." So how many of you are now singing "Pass the Duchy from the left hand side?"

Those are just a few of the things that I have learned in the last week or so. Please share anything you have learned recently.

Also a new service has been added to this blog. This service is called Cross-Blogging. If you would like to learn more read Nea's comments on the Haiku post. This service is sponsored by e-stalker.com.

In my defense, I have not been convicted of blog-stalking. Plus, is it still stalking if you introduce yourself to the blogger and let them know you've been reading their blog for months, are are aware of their favorite tv show, know where they work, their college major, etc.? Being called a stalker seems a bit extreme, don't you think?

In an effort to cross-blog, I'm going to beat my roomie to the punch and say "Nathan . . . Golden Corral? Seriously?" If there is anything with corral in the name, I can't help but to think of being herded through the feeding line (aka the trough) and being poked with a cattle prod. And what's so golden about it?

Thanks for having my back on the Golden Corral situation. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's a less serious offense to be a bogg-stalker than a Corral victim.

I think it's just about time for Nathan's blog-stalker to chime in with a few "golden" nuggets of wisdom. I'm quite sure that The Corral, if you will, could and would solve all the world's ills if given the oppurtunity. I have several points that I belive back up this assumption.

Point #1 - One Golden Corral restaurant could feed all the people of a small country. Spread them all over the world and erase world hunger.

Point #2 - What brings people together like mounds of mashed potatoes and gravy? This you will find in abundance, like a great waterfall that never ends at The Corral. World peace will be the result of the spread of the franchise.

Point #3 - After years of party division, one thing, and one thing only will erase the line between the right and the left. The line to the banana pudding.

These are only a few reasons out of the thousands as to how the Golden Corral is the answer. So all you Corral bashers, just take a minute a think about what I've said.

Dear Golden Girl1,

You best back that assumption up! Your points would prove to be valid ones as long as Nathan doesn't beat everyone down to get through the line first...especially if there is pot roast in the feeding trough.

Wow! I have a blog-stalker!!!
My blog has officially arrived!
And quite an intelligent blog-stalker at that, preach on sister.

Foster and Nea, I think you are trying too hard to convince that you don't like the Corral. I know you go when no one is looking.

And Betty White obviously doesn't understand the darn near mystical power of Golden Corral. The Beauty is...the food doesn't run out, no matter who is in line...the "trough," as you so coldly call it, is never empty. That is why it can solve so many of mankind's problems.(actually I do know of one time when a pregnant lady shut the place down-temporarily-but I am scared to tell that story).

Sounds like you have inside info on the pregnant woman. Do tell.

What I learned recently:

There is some crazy lady that goes to softball games and when players get up to bat she jumps up on the fence behind the plate and yells, thus prompting the umpire to say, "That one's going to be trouble."

Yes, trouble indeed.

Fence Queen Haiku,

Wise is it to express this way yourself.

Anonymous said...

Banks,
I know exactly how you feel, my parents used to do that to me all the time! I feel for you man.

I'm pretty sure the Yoda resides with Becky...at least that's who it was given to last Sunday night. :-)

as i was searching the internet galaxy for blogs, i stumbled across this up and coming attraction. i am interested yet somewhat disturbed at the randomness. stalkers, waterfalls of mashed potatoes, pregnant hecklers at softball games?!?

interesting. also, i encourage not using capital letters in a forum such as this, but that is neither Here noR thEre.

my feelings at this present moment can best be summed up in a poem, probably not a haiku though...

this blog is good
it could become great,
at the golden corral
2 pounds of mashed potatoes i ate.
what really is a blog?
i do not even know
my thoughts are done for now
let's go tip a cow.

Anonymous said...

cow tipping huh?
sounds like you may have too much time on your hands, especially if you just happen to be searching for random blogs at 1 am.
The poem was good,
though it could become great:)
It's allright though what can you really expect from a Corral patron!?!

In an effort to procrastinate in studying for my finals I check Nathan's blog every once in a while (ok, every hour) and I have found a disturbing new development that I want to call attention too. The attempt to create a witty reply and ultimatly post an anonimous comment/cross-blog has led to the complete destruction of this community of friends. I no longer have any clue who is commenting and who I am commenting back too. I think there is grave danger in this practice and I think it is time to address it with truth in love before it destroys the blog which by leading to the destruction of friendship would lead to isolation of the individual and ultimatly would result in the destruction of the planet!

...just something to think about

Anonymous said...

nea,

You're right. I do not want to be responsible for the destruction of this community of friends and ultimately the demise of this entire blog. It's brouhgt together the intellectual thoughts and feelings of so many and through it I have felt like I've grown as an individual. So I'm coming out to you all today and I hope that you will follow in being open and honest about who you are in future posts.

Yours truly,
golden girl 1

Yo Betty! Haiku is over. Finished. No more. Enough already!

so jealous are you
of me the great queen haiku
just sit there and stew

i do not think it absolutely necessary to reveal one's identity in a blog format such as this. however, i do appreciate your viewpoints on this matter as it is good to know from whom you are receiving input, feedback and/or comments of an utterly nonsensical nature. when the time is right, the necessary identity will be revealed. until then:

that is all i have to say
yes, it is already may
i can't rhyme like queen haiku,
wish i could grow a foo-man-choo
