For the third time in six weeks, a Sunday rain destroyed everything that I accomplished at work the Friday before. Water and earthwork do not mix!I find it interesting that people always root for the underdog, but at the same time, people are drawn towards winners.
I love my six pack abs, even though they are hiding under two inches of fat, at least I know that they are still there.
One thing that I miss about where I lived in Jersey was that you could take walks in the woods. In Eastern Carolina it is impossible to walk in the woods without a machete, there are so many vines and stickers. I went to find a golf ball and had more pricks on my leg than Paris Hilton at a night club!
The Yankees won the AL east, which is a great thing, especially if you hate the Red Sox!
Do you think that Popeye had large forearms because he spent a lot of time on a boat without any women?
Sometimes we do things without really analyzing what we are doing. Have you ever thought about stuffing a Turkey?? You hollow out a body cavity and then jam bread into it! I still love it, but I am just saying...
I don't trust blogger any more. If I ever stop commenting on your site, let me know. I use my dashboard quite a bit to keep up, and sometimes posts are not showing up. Plus, I was dropped off of a few blogs that I follow!
It has been said that if you do not want to get into an argument, that you should not discuss politics or religion. Aren't they the same thing?
At the end of "Titanic", when the old woman threw the blue diamond into the ocean, I wanted to strangle her! She had a priceless item that could have made her family's lives easy and could have covered some of the bills for when she was in the nursing home, but she just tossed it away! She should have jumped overboard and gave her Granddaughter the gem!
I hate whiny music. I have said this before, but I have no use for crap like Coldplay, or Dave Matthews band, it just is so weak!
Now go visit the UnMom, this is her baby!

GO YANKEES! :)
Hmm. I'd never considered Popeye's forearms in quite that light.
Dammit, Otin. :-)
Go Yankees! Go Twins!!
Pearl
You are so funny.. Paris Hilton bawhahaha great funnies..
I will hunt you down if you don't come around!
Regarding your claim that you no longer trust Blogger...
... great cover!
Personally, I love the six-pack abs comment. It's like me saying everything is still high and tight only I am more'grounded' these days by allowing gravity to pull everything south. Hahahaha.
LMAO @ your crack at Paris Hilton. Never will understand the obsession people have with her anyway.
But really? You hate Coldplay and DMB? I love a wide genre of music...but Coldplay is definitely one of my faves.
Now I know if you ever disappear from my page it's not really Blogger's fault, it's just cause I play too much sissy music. ;)
Your arms are kinda big too? Have you been giving popeye tips?
omg, Popeye? How will I ever erase that from my memory now?
DO YOU SOUND GRUMPY OR AM i MISTAKEN? JUST KIDDING IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US, HEI, INTERESTING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT POP EYE, DID NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THIS IS THAT YOU MUST KNOW I COMPLETELLY AGREE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THOSE MUSICAL GROUPS
SALU!
Why is Mariana yelling?
Popeye. I'll never look at him the same way. Though I am looking at my own forearms now...
My mom tried to teach me how to stuff the Thanksgiving turkey once. Once was enough. Once mom can't do it any longer, I'm passing it to my sister-in-law!
"Do you think that Popeye had large forearms because he spent a lot of time on a boat without any women?"
What the HELL were you doing to come up with this thought?
Wait. I probably don't want to know do I?
No comment about the Yankees.
That old lady in Titanic, she didn't even dream of her husband in her last dream.
OMG that totally bugged me too in Titanic! Very selfish. And don't trust blogger, it's not been notifying me reliably with comments lately either.
LMAO I can always count on you for a good laugh Otin. Have I mentioned lately how much I love your posts? Well, in case I haven't, I do.
Poor Popeye.
Though I do like a couple of songs Dave Matthews did, for the most part I hate whiny music too. Give me pounding drums and screeching guitars over Coldplay any day!
Have a great Random Tuesday!
Blogger really confused me this morning; when I went to sign in, up came a blog that I (evidently) started 4 years ago and only posted at once! Then it wouldn't let me sign in... I was about to have a panic attack when I figure out a way around it. I don't trust Blogger either.
I don't know about New Jersey but I've met sticky, prickly vines here in eastern NC that I've never seen before and they refuse to die; in fact, I think they thrive on RoundUp!
I wished the old woman had given me the necklace.
Twins in Detroit...pullleeeze Pearl, we are a heavily armed city...So now that Popeye's secret is outed what is your excuse Otin?
I've been preparing turkey lately with the dressing in a separate pan.. this speeds up cooking time of the brined bird, keeping a bit more moist- if it's a big one!
Nice post on SMB's site. :)
I think Popeye was jerking it for sure. And you're right about that stupid chick from Titanic.. who would throw that shit overboard like that?
I've often wondered the same thing about Popeye - either his forearms were caused from lack of women or the thought of intimacy with Olive Oil.
I'm with you on the diamond. Those men spent their life's work finding that thing and she had it the whole time. Bitch!
Like your Popeye theory.
And GO RED SOX!!!
You actually hit upon a serious flaw in society. People "feel sorry" for someone else struggling or having major problems but don't want to be seen with them. I think you throw a real zinger like this in with the mix of funny and sometimes yucky stuff on purpose. I appreciate the humor in your list and also the humanity you camouflage in the humor. You're a good guy, Otin.
Now that's a new take on Popeye's arms...heh-heh.
lol. poor popeye. once underdogs win, they are winners right. must admit i was happy for the lions this week...
I'm still laughing about the Paris Hilton/pricks comment and I'll never look at Popeye in the same way again -- ummm - thanks! ;->
You cracked me up!I'm laughing all alone in my living room!I've been missing your random thoughts!I can't believe bloggers dropped you off,this will never happen with me!
Titanic,I was pissed by more than that scene myself!lol.Sorry about your work,but yes you know the power of water!:D
"Do you think that Popeye had large forearms because he spent a lot of time on a boat without any women?"
I loved this one. I thought it had something to do with the spinach.
Go Cubs! Oh...wait, it's not 2345 A.D. yet-LOL!
Popeye...hey wait a minnit I'm a former sailor here...um...never mind.
And I'll never eat a turkey again!
"I love my six pack abs, even though they are hiding under two inches of fat, at least I know that they are still there." I think my Fiance may be like you but it's under his pot belly ;)
Oh, I would also wanted to strangle the woman in Titanic too.
Very funny! Except for the rain killing your earthwork. Hey, at least you've got job security!
My baseball team sucked this year. I'll root for yours.
"At the end of "Titanic", when the old woman threw the blue diamond into the ocean, I wanted to strangle her!"
I thought the exact same thing. She's the biggest dumbass that ever lived!
I don't trust blogger either. I didn't see this post yesterday in my list of Thought Provokers. It should have been on top.
How about those Yankees! Now the REAL season begins.
Otin, you're gonna love the joint-post Suldog and I have coming out this week on the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. Fun stuff.
Hey, maybe jump out of the machine once in a while and grab a shovel, that'll put that 6 pack back on display : D
I hate turkey. I hate stuffing.
Pop-eye ? LMAO!
That popeye thing killed me!haha loved it.
Okay, I love you again. It was sketchy after that whole Rose situation. But I'm back. Couldn't stay away. I'm just that easy, I guess.
I just can't quit you, Otin.
When I built my house 20 years ago, it rained incessantly for 3 months . . I kid you not so I share your 'earthworks' pain! Get Google Reader and load in the blogs you love. It's an RSS feed reader and you can tell when people post by selecting "Show Updated". I'm not commenting on Popeye!
You know, that's a good theory about Popeye's arms!
I just took your IQ test and I'm borderline stupid. Scored a 91.
Titanic was 10 years ago. Why are you just getting mad about that now? Let it go...
You're on to something with Popeye.
Have a great RTT!

Yankees!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
How dare you say that filthy word?
re Titanic- agreed- what a waste!
as for popeye- either the spinach was laced with steroids or what you say could be true!
everything is spot on here...Popeye? hmm...probably, 'cause Wimpy liked burgers, not wieners.
otin, you is funny...
and if I were on board when the old broad threw her jewelry overboard it would have never hit the water...
wtf, Rosie?
Peace - Rene
I shouldn't laugh at the Paris Hilton line....but I couldn't help myself. The visual was incredible.
More pricks on my leg than Paris Hilton at a nightclub... I actually lol'd that one. :) You have a great sense of humor!
I have six-pack abs tooo, and you should see my guns!
You hate painting and dieting, huh? If I bake you cookies, will you come paint that room for me? LOL. No? Fine.
P.S. I'd never stop visiting just because you like Marilyn Manson. You're allowed one musical indiscretion, but just one, that's it. ;)
P.P.S. How'd you guess that Marilyn was on my music I hate list?
Popeye, Paris Hilton, too funny. Blogger is acting up for sure ... this post didn't appear on my dashboard either !!! Hope whatever work you do this Friday doesn't get rained on over the week-end !
Well, I have an EIGHT-pack under my ABS of FLAB, which by the way took 12 years, one marriage, 2 birthings, 1 divorce, and years of comfort eating to create.
Buns That Wiggle When I Run...I have always had!
Cheers, LisaB
....and all this time I thought Popeye was using a paddle on that boat to inflate his muscles! LOL
..........Boy that's a lot of stickers in those woods. . . just sayin. . .
after reading, my family will be having all vegetables for Thanksgiving!
Really? I thought that I was the only one that always root for the underdogs.
I always think weird things like that turkey thought of yours. Like this one: You know how we eat chicken eggs...I wonder if someone could possibly find a way to eat human eggs. And if they did, who would have the balls to eat it? I wouldn't, haha. Even though some countries eat placenta.
Oh.My.God.
I love Dave Matthews Band! And whiny music, how dare you! lol :P
Love the Paris Hilton comment. . . made me laugh pretty good!
Love the Paris Hilton comment. . . made me laugh pretty good!
Stuffing a turkey is disgusting. I cannot even begin to comment on the Popeye thing. I'm pretty sure only a man would think up that.
And yes on the throwing the diamond into the water. WTF? That thing was worth a bloody fortune, people were spending millions LOOKING for it and she tossed it? Crazy old woman.
Fantastic RTT!
The first time I saw Titanic I thought the old lady was going to jump in... after seeing what she did next I seriously considered throwing her in myself.
I'm never going to look at Popeye the same way again... ;)
I totally agree with your view of the final scene of Titanic.
Happy RTT a day late!
They call it Red Sox Nation because, as you say, people are drawn to winners.
I laughed at your "Titanic" comment, because I totally agree. Sure, let's throw the "Heart of the Ocean" into the sea. LOL. Give me a break. I once had some friends convinced that in the alternate ending on the DVD that she doesn't toss it. But she still does, dammit.
Politics and religion are so not the same thing.
Only you would know why Popeye's arms are so big without women around. Same boat, right?
I make it a habit to root for winnnnners!!!!
