Going to a Jimmy Buffet show is one of those things that should probably be on the list of “things to do before you die” just to say that you’ve been to one and lived out the whole experience.

Probably one of the most interesting things about Jimmy Buffet’s music is some of the interesting song titles he has. While Cheeseburger in Paradise is probably the most famous, here are some other odd song titles & song subjects of Jimmy Buffet:

Peanut Butter Conspiracy
This song is all about spending all your money on drugs and having to steal food from the mini-mart. I wonder if he ever did pay them back as he said he would in the song?

Why Don’t We Get Drunk?
With lyrics like “Why dont we get drunk and screw, I just bought a waterbed its filled up for me and you” this could just be the romantic sentiment you’ve been looking for to use on a special lady in your life.

Elvis Imitators
Yes, Imitating Elvis could be your ticket to fame. If not though, it’s the next best thing.

Everybody’s got a Cousin in Miami
The title of this post is simply not true: I do not have a cousin in Miami. Or anywhere in Florida for that matter!

There’s Nothing Soft About Hard Times
Just in case you might have thought there could be a soft side to something hard, this song will assure you there’s not.

Fruitcakes
“This world needs more fruitcakes” the song goes. But do we really? Do we REALLY need more of those Holiday cakes that nobody eats or wants?

If you have never seen Jimmy Buffet in concert, then you really need to go get some Jimmy Buffet Tickets from today’s post sponsor and try it sometime. Despite his odd lyrics and song subjects, it’s some great music to listen to and like most things, best enjoyed in person.

I’m a little behind on my ebay posts, I know…but it takes time to dig through all the terrible listings on ebay and really find something stupid that’s worth laughing at or sharing.

‘I think I found it:

This is a full glass of coke available to bid on.

The question I have is how the heck would you ship it? You can’t really pour a glass of coke and stick it in an envelope or box and it still be a glass of coke, can you? (I think it would be a soggy mess!)

So I saw this article on CNN and apparently mantyhose are at an all time high in sales.

What the heck are mantyhose? As the name (and the title of my post here) implies - they are pantyhose for men. Take a look at this highly disturbing photo below to see what I mean:

Personally, I find the concept of men wearing pantyhose, well, pretty down right creepy. Unless you’re a cross dresser - if you’re a cross dresser and you get your jollies from wearing them, then by all means I am not one to say you can’t wear pantyhose. Same goes if you’re wearing them for a medical reason, since they can help with swelling & circulation…(and I wouldn’t laugh at you if you were wearing them because your doctor made you…)

But if you’re looking to wear them for “warmth and support” or “added comfort” as CNN implied, are you out of your freaking mind?

As a girl, I’ve unfortunately had to wear my fair share of pantyhose in my lifetime. Let me tell you, pantyhose are not comfortable. They are sticky. They are itchy. They are either “bunchy”…(as in they ride up your butt) or saggy (as in they are collecting around your ankles) and the damn things snag so much that sometimes you can ruin them just trying to put them on, which can sometimes be an Olympic feat all in it’s own just trying to get them on. (Especially if you just got out of the shower for some reason and your legs aren’t 100% dried off)

Tell me guys, what do you think of this mantyhose phenomenon? Are you up for wearing them? Or do you agree with me that they should be left for the cross dressers and those with medical needs? Ladies, do you think wearing pantyhose is comfortable? How would you feel if your man was wearing these? (I think I would die laughing!)

I wonder if this was included in the book 500 Things To Do With Pantyhose?

Today I kind of had a different post planned out, but most of my entire schedule was nicely disrupted by AAA, a travel company that basically gives you free towing or will help you if you ever lock your keys in the car. The membership is not cheap, but I’ve used them several times a year every year (I have bad luck with things like potholes and flat tires) so it seems like I have to have them, even if I probably don’t.

Anyways, last week my husband and I bought a truck. Generally, when you buy a car or a truck it’s pretty cut and dry - you sign this, sign that, they hand you a license plate and a sticker.

Today, after fighting with the lady at AAA (who actually was the nicest person I’ve ever met in AAA in the history of my 12 year membership with them), we walked out of there 2 HOURS LATER and still no registration or license plate for our truck.

What took us 2 hours to fight about? My drivers license was the first. When I got married, they didn’t make me get a new license, they just handed me a card with my new last name and said “here you go”. Well to AAA, this was UNACCEPTABLE. Now why would anyone else in the world and the DMV be cool with it but not this lady?

Moving past that, the rest of our time spent there was over the weight of our truck. I called the main DMV office to find out if I needed to have the truck weighed in order to get our registration. They said no, that was the most ridiculous thing they ever heard of. I also asked our inspection mechanic (who had to verify the VIN number) and he also said that nobody weighs trucks. I spoke to the company that made our truck and they happily gave us all the weight info & verified it. AAA would not accept that.

I finally did get somebody to fill out this ridiculous form AAA wanted filled out, but will have to go there tomorrow (and with my two wonderful children who i hope destroy the place while we’re there!) to actually get the license plate.

My husband has dubbed them “Triple Rape”…

Why should is it so difficult to GIVE SOMEBODY MONEY AND YOUR BUSINESS?
