Liverpool bus stop

Three Butt LaneSometimes I’m left wondering if people are actually paying attention to what they are saying.  In this case, I’d have to say the Liverpudlians either had a temporary lapse in good judgement or have a great sense of humor.  Thanks to Ste for sharing.

Begging to be invented: The folding dryer

folding dryerFor years, I have told anyone who would listen that I would love someone to invent a dryer that will fold my clothes.  Fortunately, the way our household chores are divided my partner does about 90% of the laundry with me lending a hand with folding clothes on occasion.

Although many guffaw at my suggestion, I don’t think my request is really that outlandish.  After all, if we can fly people to the moon or decode the human genome it doesn’t really seem that difficult to invent a dryer that can not only stop eating my socks, but also fold them.

What invention are you waiting for to be invented?

Overheard

Boston GuyMy good friend and fellow Boston blogger of You Think You Know has a regular post called Overheard where he shares humorous quotes he’s observed.

I couldn’t resist featuring a version of his Overheard posts on my blog after returning from my last visit in Provincetown during the week of 4th of July.

I’m a HUGE fan of yours and think you are fantastic Ms. LuPone (as in Patti LuPone)

I’m not Patti LuPone, I’m a man (Ms. Coco Peru)

Let me explain the situation… or to quote Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls “Picture this”… it was the summer of 2012 the place, Provincetown. A young(ish) man is standing outside after watching a variety show called ShowGirls talking to one of the drag queen performers when Patti LuPone’s “Huge Fan” interrupts me to shake the drag queen’s hand and gush a bit before calling him Patti LuPone.  I was that youngish man and the drag queen was Coco Peru.

Honestly, watching Coco Peru blink once then in her best deadpan voice utter “I’m not Patti LuPone, I’m a man” might go down as my funniest moment in 2012.  Coco – you are funny on stage and even more funny in real life.

New marketing campaign for FedEx

Just a suggestion…

OMG

FriendsTo quote the character, Janice Litman from Friends, “Oh…My…Gawd!” This home remodeling adventure, which has been long overdue is past the point of no return. We’re now in a crunch to decide on paint color.

For those who do not know my partner or me, this is making me verklempt. So I’ll give you a topic to discuss amongst yourselves while I do my very best to pull myself together.

The phrase “home remodeling” makes no sense to me. This process has turned my home into a house and there is nothing about this process that makes me think of a model. I don’t see a photograph for the cover of a magazine.  I see a dump. They should call it House Demolition. Now discuss.

Poop happens

I’m at a loss for this public service announcement. Who knew that tossing poop was such a big problem in Belfast?Boston Guy

I suppose after reading this I won’t complain that its Monday morning. Apparently it could be worse, a lot worse. I could’ve had poo thrown at me when I went out to get my morning cup of coffee.

Coco Peru: There Comes A Time

ProvincetownCoco Peru performed in Provincetown last week.  She has since moved on to Rehoboth Beach where she will be performing on Wednesday, July 11th.

We attended her show on Thursday, July 5th in Provincetown, but we received a sneak peek at Ryan Landry’s weekly talent show, ShowGirls.  Due to recent drama between Ryan Landry and the owner of the Crown & Anchor (ShowGirls previous home) the show had been moved to The Pied.  The venue was tight to say the least and the acoustics left a lot to be desired so apologies for the background noise.

Enjoy Coco’s take on the Mormon Church and her theory on why there are so many “out” gay men in Australia.Note: this is a bonus track and not part of Coco Peru’s There Comes A Time show.

Bear culture bonus post

Bear Semen: The Manliest Drink on Earth

Boston GuyIt is Bear Week in Provincetown so I’ll be including a bonus “Bear themed” post each day this week. Last year I stumbled upon this drink which claims to be The Manliest Drink on Earth. 

I have to wonder if the bars in Provincetown will be serving this rather interesting refreshment.

Friendly’s offers happy endings

BosGuyI suppose that is one way to encourage people to come in and try your food.  Do you think the person was even for one second thinking about what he was saying when he put up that message?

Beware of Walmart bathrooms

Police in Monticello, Kentucky are investigating how a woman who used  a Walmart restroom found herself Super Glued to the toilet seat.  As if that is not bizarre enough, the same thing happened in a Maryland Walmart just prior to April Fool’s Day. The lesson here is never use a bathroom at a Walmart, but then again I thought that was just common sense.

Fascinated? You can read more on the WCPO Channel 9 website.

Natasha Leggero

I was watching Jay Leno’s Tonight Show and couldn’t believe how funny Natasha was.  I also couldn’t believe how much she resembled a young Susana Hoffs (lead singer of the 80s gal band, The Bangles).

Not familiar with Natasha Leggero? Here is a video of her explaining why hip hop music drives her crazy. I kind of agree.
