Back to the 21st Century...

This is actually the song that's been stuck in my head for most of the week...

And a small aside that has nothing to do with music: If you're going to be out of town on a Friday night, and you leave your alarm clock at home... do not leave it set to go off at 5AM. Even the dogs thought it was too early...

 

 

Update: Side effects of an alarm clock going off somewhere in the house at 5AM on a Saturday morning have been erased by Mr. Thundra. Many thanks.

THAT IS NOT A FACT it wasn't working for me. I had to close out of the page and open a new one and come back to this site.

[Kathleen]

that is how hard I worked!!@!!! don't forget I only have use of 9 fingers too

[Kathleen]

OMG RANDOM FACT: COMMUNITY JUST REFERENCED ZARDOZ

[Kathleen]

someone hold me the recursion is scary

[Pinko Punko]

K- you are grossing me out with your Hot Lazy Saturday Ronald. That sounds soooooo TUSTOSAN

[herr doktor bimler]

I literally am about to hand count the comments on this thread.

1. Copy text of page and paste into word processor of change.
2. Run Global Search to change every occurrence of "Posted by" into "Zardoz".
3. Read the number of replacements.

Alternatively, change every occurrence of "Kathleen" into "Bad Ronald".

A Hot Lazy Nine-Fingered Bad Ronald

Oh. Dear.

The mind reels...

I see Kathleen has been busy!! LOL!

And while she was doing a lazy-ass, nine-fingered Bad Ronald... I was surrounded by hipster unicorns with black glasses on. Did it make them hip?? No, it made them bad... and worse than that, they wanted to be bad.

[Jennifer]

All blogging formats should come with a Zardoz option so we can easily see comment counts, and can easly get to ALL comments... unlike Blogger which now blocks you at 200, unless you said more. And then there's WP which goes all pear-shaped and doesn't fully count all comments. Yes, there needs to be a Zardoz option. End of story... but not the end of the thread.

[Jennifer]

Thank you, K!

You made my morning.

"How was your morning?

"Oh, it was fine! I was enjoying a A Hot Lazy Nine-Fingered Bad Ronald!"

:)

Filthbot is in its heaven and all is right with the world!

[Jennifer]

Also, I believe I saw a B^4 comment in here somewhere... or maybe it was on my phone. Anyhow, yes, very pretty song.

[blue girl]

Jennifer, it was so hostessly of you to leave a pitcher of wine slushies for Kathleen!

[Jennifer]

LOL!

What a funny thought. That would be fun if we could leave stuff for people who stop by and visit.

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

Good morning!
~

[Jennifer]

Hello thundra... Shun anyone today?

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

Not yet.

There's still time.
~

[blue girl]

Don't believe him, Jennifer! He shined the shun on me already this Sunday morning!

[Jennifer]

:)

From now on, we'll have to call him Shunder!

iftheshundradontgetya

[Jennifer]

Oops, I forgot embellishments...

Good Morning, Shundra!

[blue girl]

[Zombie rotten mcdonald]

Well, it IS Shunday....

[Zombie rotten mcdonald]

I feel the need to mention that for a couple of comments there, Kathleen was referring to it as a Lazy Ronald.... She corrected herself, but I wanted to mildly shun her for it. Also, Rollie Fingers? What decade is this? And did they just paint over his Brewer uniform?

[Zombie rotten mcdonald]

Some of us Zardoz for the thrill of it, not the count....

[Jennifer]

Well, it IS Shunday....

LOL!

Duh!

Kathleen was referring to it as a Lazy Ronald

But she was referring to her approach.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, she wasn't feeling like doing much beyond 70... so I can see the Lazy Ronald.

She did manage to pull it out though. As BG said, thank gawd we left the wine slushies!

[Jennifer]

Oh my gawd. I had to look at an old image of Rollie... boy, if that doesn't take you back.

The lamblets were looking at a photo this morning of my brothers, father, and a b-i-l... taken during the 70's... all with HUGE staches. They were like, "WTF??" :)

Of course, they also freak out when they see the shorts the Celtics wore in the 70's.

[Jennifer]

I bet shundra is wearing his bell bottoms today... just because. He's shunning the straight leg jeans.

[Zombie rotten mcdonald]

I'm not buying the Kathleen defense.

If we can't maintain accurate Zardoz terminology, where will we be?

Answer me that, Shunnifer!

[Zombie rotten mcdonald]

Sounds like the Lamblets are kind of easily freaked out....

[Jennifer]

If we can't maintain accurate Zardoz terminology, where will we be?

But the comment threads seem to live on improvising and extrapolating... and then beating it into the ground. I stand by K's call on teh Lazy.

I especially stand by her A Hot Lazy Nine-Fingered Bad Ronald!

[Jennifer]

Sounds like the Lamblets are kind of easily freaked out....

Not anymore than any kid is by things of the generations that have come before.

If you've never seen how SHORT basketball shorts can be... those do look crazy. Of course most of the basketball shorts today look kind of crazy in that they're more of a manpri.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I especially stand by her A Hot Lazy Nine-Fingered Bad Ronald!

Yeah, that was appropriate, agreed.

Imma still throwing a flag on the Lazy Ronald.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

If you've never seen how SHORT basketball shorts can be.

Never. Never worn them, either.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

and then beating it into the ground.

Based on the play we saw last night, I will beat Lazy Ronald into the ground with a steel pipe.

[Jennifer]

Why should that be any different?

:)

[blue girl]

LOL @ "Shunday" !!

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I guess I forgot the lonk.

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

I think I deserve and assist for helping push K along in the Lazy Ronald, thanks to some conveniently timed insomnia.
~

[blue girl]

Jennifer, I told The Skimster about how the lamblets feel about 70s basketball shorts. We both cracked up. They were totally short!!

Hot pants!!

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Why should that be any different?

Ouch.

Fine. Lazy Ronald it is. Hmpf.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, I read your 4 comments, Shundra... they truly were lazy. Granted, it was the middle of the night, but still...

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

Random fact!
~

[Jennifer]

BG- they were! For some reason, I always think of the Celtics, but maybe those shorts just seemed shorted because the bright green showed up so much. Their floor also seems quintessentially "basketbally" to me. :)

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

the Celtics were lazy.

I used to have John Havlicek's autograph. Might still be in a box in my mom's basement. His, along with THE WHOLE CAVS TEAM from the Miracle of Richfield era.

[blue girl]

Let me clarify: Not a random piece of poster board with all the Cavs' autographs that I bought at some store.

However many tiny pieces of individual paper, each autograph gotten one at a time, using my 14 year old massive strategy skillz to acquire each one, game after game after game...

:)

That sounds awesome.

[blue girl]

Correction: 1976, 12 not 14.

It was, Jennifer! I LOVED THAT TEAM!

[blue girl]

And lol @ "the Celtics were lazy." :)

[blue girl]

They STUNK!

[Jennifer]

They STUNK!

But they did rock the short shorts.

[Jennifer]

LOL

[blue girl]

I was just thinking about begging my parents to take me to those games. And we went to so many! Only a select few could even think to do something like that now, just have fun and get autographs. It would now cost thousands of dollars to do such a thing.

Sad random fact.

Wonder how much tickets were back then? $10 - 15? I know Blossom tickets were $5 a concert! $5! I saw practically anybody you could name for $5.

[granny blue]

I re-read my last comment and feel as though I should change my screen name.

[granny blue]

I remember that commercial, Jennifer. No wonder the religious right gained power in the 80s. They were probably freaking out from 1968 on.

[Jennifer]

LOL @ your last 2 comments!

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

I knew someone would post the Shorts Shorts commercial...
~

[granny blue]

How do we know you really knew that, shunder?

[Jennifer]

I knew someone would post the Shorts Shorts commercial...

Shunone had to, shundra.

[Jennifer]

Saying all of these sh's is making me feel like I've been drinking.

[granny blue]

Blame it on PP, Jennifer! Another thing to shun him for.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Since my comments will be mocked and shunned no matter what I say, I just want to chime in and say that that Shins album is really very good, especially for the RANDOM FACT that the singer and songwriter for the band, James Mercer, came pretty close to just not doing the Shins anymore.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Random Fact: My repellent neighbor threw a metal rusted out trashcan in my shrubberies recently.

Also, there are several people in the neighborhood with medium-size dogs who do not pick up their dog shit from our front lawn.

[blue girl]

I'm trying to choose my favorite. Hard choice.

[blue girl]

Sorry about your repellent neighbor, ZRM.

Get Janusnode to pick up the dogshit and the neighbors detritus from my yards and bushes, and you'll have something, Substance.

in the meantime, you flog JanusNode like you're sleeping with it.

Random Fact: Heartless Bastards, Squeeze, and Joy Formidable are all playing at Summerfest this year.

[Kathleen]

shrug: frail insane semantics for noses

WIN

[Kathleen]

also /bow
I accept the accolades for last night's activities. Blame Chelsea and Arsenal for not scoring.

and /clap for Shundra whose timely insomnia comment spurred me to the finnish line

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Sorry about your repellent neighbor, ZRM.

I call him Lazy Ronald.

[Substance McGravitas]

in the meantime, you flog JanusNode like you're sleeping with it.

It's like some bizarre Mekons addiction.

[Jennifer]

Awesome random facts... now if only they had been one per comment. :)

[Jennifer]

Shunstance McShunitas

:)

[blue girl]

Is Janusnode an inside thing? I must be an outsider now!

I know the Mekons thing. I'm inside that loop.

Didn't know about a couple of things Kathleen was talking about last night.

[Jennifer]

I associate Janusnode w/Substance. As for Kathleen, are you sure she knew everything she was talking about? :)

[Kathleen]

truer words, J...

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

the difference is I AM sleeping with the Mekons....

[herr doktor bimler]

I accept the accolades

Life gave Kathleen accols.

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

It's 2 A.M. again...

[Jennifer]

Oh no... sounds like sleep is shunning you.

[herr doktor bimler]

Someone knock out ITTDGY with the shun-gun.

I'm once again awake.

But I won't get food again.

[Jennifer]

That was awesome... gave me goosebumps.

[fish]

it's spelled shudner

now I'm so confused.

[fish]

If we can't maintain accurate Zardoz terminology

Okay, now that is funny. That's like saying if we can add another 50% ass to 3 bulls.

Ingredients in a Lazy Ronald:
