RTT: Sometimes “Uh-oh” is a Wholly Appropriate Response
A conversation between me and Beloved last night:
Beloved: What are you doing?
Me: Thinking about my post for tomorrow.
Beloved: Random Thoughts?
Me: Yup.
Beloved: Do you have any random thoughts?
Me: Do I have any other kind?
Beloved: Well, do you have any you can actually publish?
I love you too dear.

Have you heard about that poor model in Argentina who died after having her ass augmented? According to one news article, “the injections used in her procedure were a synthetic polymer called PMMA. According to Wikipedia, PMMA is often used in the construction industry as a replacement for glass, and is known by many brand names, including Plexiglass.”
Plexiglass.
Honey, you’re a human being, not a store front window.
I wish I’d known that – I could have saved her life. I could have guaranteed her a regimen that would have substantially increased the size of her backside in six weeks. Okay, yes – everything else would have increased in size along with it (possibly her IQ?), but that’s not the point, now is it?
~~~~~~
When I heard about the above, I’m afraid I went off on a bit of a rant (I know – me? Rant?? Surely not).
“I don’t understand this!” I yelled as I stood in the kitchen frying bacon and Beloved went blithely about his business, as he is wont to do when I’m on a tangent. “I’m an organ donor, you know!”
Granted, at my age the only good I’d do is if someone needed a jaw muscle transplant because that seems to be the one thing on my aging body that works as well as did twenty years ago, but again – that’s not the point.
It was about this time that The Young One came strolling through the kitchen, doubtlessly drawn by the aroma of scorching pork product, the dog hot on his heels, both hoping for handout.
“I HAVE ASS TO SPARE, PEOPLE!!” I cried, brandishing my spatula while Scooter simultaneously cringed and looked hopeful.
The Young One was totally nonplussed. “Are you talking about me?”
Ass, kiddo, not smart ass.
~~~~~~
The other day at work, I received this IM from Beloved:
Beloved: John Smith wants me to come up for some additional training. Do we have anything going on between the 20th and the 23rd?
Me: Of December?
Beloved: Well, yeah.
Me: You mean besides my birthday?
Beloved: Uh-oh.
Yup, you guessed it – I’m spending my birthday in beautiful downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. Life in the fast lane, folks. (Actually, I could think of worse places to spend my birthday.)
Recommendations for a nice restaurant to have dinner?

You may or may not remember my fit of hysteria over our bathroom decor at work recently. You also may or may not remember the bet I made that the Autumn Horn O’ Plenty would be the decor of choice come Easter. Some of you took me up on that.
I’m pleased to report you’d win the bet, for as sure teenagers should be shipped to a desert island until they’re 25, our Women’s Room Decoration has changed with the seasons.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you with:
The Snow…Thingie
To give me credit, I did NOT burst into gales of laughter when I walked into the bathroom after Thanksgiving and saw this little gem sitting on the counter – mostly because I didn’t know what it was.
Confused, I invited Beloved into the women’s room (always a pleasure for him) to take a gander.
“Why does it have water sitting in it?” I asked.
“Well, it’s a fountain,” he replied.
And by golly, he was right. Of course, it’s not a working fountain. I mean, I’m sure it would be, if someone bothered to plug it in; it’s not as if there isn’t an outlet right there.
Then again, the outlet is right next to a sink, and while I’m sure the management is not in the least bit concerned that one of the tenants might electrocute themselves (trust me – they aren’t), the possibility someone might blow a fuse and deprive us all of power is definitely a consideration.
In the meantime, I get to spend the duration of the Holiday Season enjoying the pleasures of plastic snowmen and stagnant water.
It’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

For more Random Holiday Tuesday Thoughts, head on over and visit Keely at The Un-Mom. I’m sure she has working fountains with reasonably fresh water.
Very good random, Ms. Jan. Love the new bathroom decor. Plugging anything next to a sink completely wigs me out.

Erin´s last blog ..a nice contemplative activity
Maybe she needed Plexiglas in her ass so she could see where she was going.
So the Young One has smart ass to spare then. I’ll let you/him know if I find anyone wanting.
They can harvest fat and inject it into asses now. I saw it on one of those makeover shows..or maybe it was Dr 90210. Sounds much safer than having plexiglass in ones ass.

Plexiglass in the butt? How did I miss this?
Jan you crack me up! I love your random!
Maureen@IslandRoar´s last blog ..Spin Cycle: Wish List
LOVED the convo between you and your hubby…heh, heh!!
I’ve never understood the need to enlarge one’s ass. Mine has enlarged quite successfully on its own. Love that your Young One has ‘smart ass’ to spare! Tell him to keep it to himself, though – Princess Nagger is developing plenty of smart ass and will also probably have some to spare at some point. Like tomorrow.
You’re a December baby, too! WooHoo! Kalamazoo is a pretty place – it’s been years since I’ve been there, so I don’t have any restaurant suggestions…but I’ll be looking forward to finding out where you land!
So the cornucopia really did get replaced! Why on god’s green earth would someone put water in a non-working fountain? Oh, wait…I forgot that it’s the same person who put any sort of festive decor in a funky bathroom.
Happy RTT!

I heard about that model, but not the part about the plexiglass. That is insane. The lengths people will go to to attain ‘beauty.’ Sad.
We seem to have smart ass to spare in this house too. Along with regular ass. We’re overflowing with ass on all fronts.
Have a great day!
Love your random thoughts…love your conversation with Beloved….hadn’t heard about the model with a plexiglass ass..sad…you going off on a rant?….I don’t believe it….lol…love that smart ass of yours….:)….glad they changed the decorations…:)…that’s right, you have a birthday coming up…:)…happy tuesday my friend…XX Lori

Happy early birthday. I hear that the new casino Firekeepers has some nice eateries. Unless of course spending your bday in a casino is unapealing.
Re: Plexiglass in the butt. Shouldn’t that be PlexiAss?
Re: The fountain, placement of the outlet. So you can plug in your electric razor and shave at work. Duh. But is there a hook in the stall for you to hang your purse so you don’t have to put your purse on the floor? You know — something that would actually be useful?
class factotum´s last blog ..Why spellcheck can’t do everything
How does putting Plexiglass in a person seem like a good idea? Eat a cheeseburger. Do some squats. Avoid getting construction supplies surgically implanted in your ass. Seems like common sense, right?
The snowman ornament kind of looks like a parade float or a snowy iceberg. Maybe they’re adrift in the Arctic frantically waving for help, cursing those permanently affixed smiles?
Teens on an island till they’re 25. Yes. I’m in.

Great Randomness. I liked the organ donor line. Makes you wonder why they would need enhancing anyway…
Christopher (AKA: CaJoh)´s last blog ..Acquaintances
Ahhh….another Christmas baby. My birthday is the 22nd. I asked the husband if he had thought about what we are going to do. He acted hurt until I reminded him that he didn’t even tell me happy birthday last year until I had to ask him if he was even going to acknowledge it. In his defense he was in CA to see his 90 year old Dad and Mom for the first time in 15 years so I’m sure that was massively stressful and he just forgot. But still, no present, no card, nothing. And then he did the unthinkable. Yup. He gave me a birthday/Christmas gift. Such a HUGE no no.
This year I’m heading him off at the pass and making sure he understands that they are two SEPERATE events to be celebrated…uh…SEPERATELY.
She died of plastic ass? How embarrassing. And Young One cracks me up! Great random.
Jenni´s last blog ..RTT: Yawn…
Got any extra one way tickets to that island for teens?

What killed me about Miss Argentina? She left behind two adorable twin boys. All for the sake of a plexibutt. Grrrr.
I’m enjoying your bathroom experience, even if you’re not…
I know – she died right after my post on fake butts in Money Town! Of course, in MT they use butt implants they don’t inject plexiglass gel into their asses. It makes all the difference!

Wanna bet the snowmen last until easter? They are seasonal rather than Christmas so they could work until winter is over. Just a thought. Have a great Tuesday!
VandyJ´s last blog ..Random Tuesday
Oh, that snowman…thingie is just sad. Why add water if you’re not going to plug it in? Maybe they should put it next to the toilet and suggest it be used as a bidet? Then the fountain would come in handy.

Right, plexiglass penis extension it is. Have you got that clinics phone number?

Plexiglass ass?! Really? No wonder that procedure was fatal. Pretty sad to go that way…
Good Random Post!
Nothing beats some good random, and you gave me that today.
There are some places that are just fun to say and Kalamazoo is one of them. Have fun.
