Wheee! It's that time o' the week - time to let all your randomness hang out. So c'mon - you've spent the weekend celebrating your independence, now join the damn crowd! Write a post that contains nary a segue, grab that funky purple button, and link up!
I'm tapping this out on my awkward laptop because I was working on a logo/business card for a friend (all my software is on here). The friend hasn't responded well to my usual approach to these requests, which is to ignore it and make excuses until they a) forget they asked in the first place, b) get pissed off enough to ask someone else or c) move on to some other kind of business endeavour. For some reason he keeps phoning no matter how often I grunt a non-response.
This friend is half responsible for my "I'm blogging" excuse, though. He was the one who said to me sometime last summer: "Do you have a blog? You should have a blog. Why don't you have a blog?".
Bet he's sorry now.
On a tangent that is totally unrelated because this is supposed to be random, that's pretty much how hubby and I got together. Someone said: "Are you dating? You should be dating. Why aren't you dating?"
And look how well that turned out. So, hey! High hopes for this whole blog thing.
Yes, I am highly suggestible, why do you ask?
You ever have a whole post planned around photographic evidence that turns out to not look that impressive after all?
I hate that.
If my son makes it to adulthood with all his limbs and eyes and the majority of his skull intact, I'm throwing a huge fucking party. You read it here first.
What brought that on? Oh, just, EVERYTHING HE DOES.
I've been getting a LOT of google searches along the lines of "what to do with your girlfriend". I'm going to take the high road and assume these people are looking for date ideas, but I have no idea how they end up here. Hubby and I don't really get to go on dates anymore, and even when we did, we spent a lot of the time with our backs to each other on separate computers, playing MMOs. We're those uber geeky people whose avatars get married in-game.
Well, except for the part where I would never fucking do that.
At any rate, I totally don't recommend suggesting that as a fun date to the majority of girlfriends.
(Just the awesomest ones. Heh)
In New Zealand, an ad agency created a billboard that bleeds when it rains to remind people to drive according to the road conditions. Um, am I the only one who would drive into the fucking ditch after seeing a bleeding billboard?
Okay, gotta go continue my charity work now. Random it up, ya'll!*
*I feel I can say this because I'm still drinking mojitos.
56 people talked back :
we all have a "blog pusher"! Damn Them!!! lol! "You should try blogging"! I tried it, now I am tied to it like it is a magazine job! LOL!
Those marrying avatars are a bad influence. They hump anything that moves, get knocked up from oral sex, take hallucinogenics regularly, and throw orgy parties more than they brush their teeth. Look away, Keely.
A bleeding billboard, I hope they have some cash in reserve for the lawsuits from all the accidents. That is just nuts!
I'm random, I'm random. I would totally flip out at the bleeding billboard. Can we say more harm than good?
If my children made it to adulthood chances are very good yours will. I was the most lax mother in the world. Probably why I never received the "Mother of the Year" award that I so richly deserved.
A bleeding bill board? Who thinks of this stuff.
Happy random Tuesday.
Whenever we get a date night anymore, we're tempted to get a hotel room just to SLEEP. No monkey business, just sleep.
Who the hell came up with that billboard idea? They need them here in FL, nobody can drive here. Well, except me.
You should come to FL. Did that suggestion work?
Oh yes I am random. And I have the same inkling about my son making it to adult hood. Not based on me, but my husband. I'm surprise he made it past 18!

Heh, a party to celebrate when your son makes it to adulthood with all his limbs and eyes and the majority of his skull intact...love that you left room for a 'just in case' so you can still throw a party. ;)
Apparently I'm trying to become a blog pusher - I don't know anyone IRL that blogs, but I keep trying to convince them that it's a great idea. So far they're ignoring me. Wonder if I should feel slighted? ;)
Ewwwww! A bleeding billboard - yep, I totally would end up driving into the ditch if I saw something like that. Good thing there aren't any that I know of for our long drive home today - but you know I'll be checking every stinking billboard the next 9-11 hours... ;)
Happy RTT! :)
Beloved doesn't game, so I'm stuck playing Portal and Spore by myself (when they aren't crashing my damn system). But we've been known to IM each other, since his laptop is set up in the living room and mine is in the dining room.
The living room and the dining room? Right next to each other. Like, within site and hearing distance of each other.
Oh, and the bleeding billboard? Yup...right off the road.
That is why we celebrate those teenage years so differently - we are just surprised the kids are still alive.
My kid just spilled her bowl of Cheerios all over the table and the floor. Thank goodness she missed the laptop! Now, what was I going to say again?
Bleeding billboards are really freaky. I think I'd drive off the road if I ever saw one! Happy RTT!
i've got that thing going on with my 10 year old kid too. although with his older brother? it was more things he said than parts of his body he hurt.
he's twenty now. i'm still stinging from some of his remarks.
good luck! and i enjoyed participating!
I've got a blog pusher, too...she also happens to be my Facebook pusher, but so far I've resisted the peer pressure there.
It's no wonder you have that "Superior Scribbler Award" on your page.
Id love to come to the my kid didnt kill him self party. Is there gonna be a keg or is BYOB?
Nary a segue??
A bleeding billboard? WTH? Isn't that some kind of liability?
A bleeding billboard would be a sight to see!
I would love a bleeding billboard. Not sure why, but it kinda turns me on. Then again, house plants turn me on lately. So much for losing your libido when you have a hysterectomy, I'm practically humping my hamper.
A bleeding sign? oh that's just rediculous, I wonder how evironmentally safe that is?
I'm a Random Tuesday newbie.
It's my first time, be gentle!!!
Hey there, I haven't been around in a while as I've been living under a rock, but here I am now. I'm posting my random thoughts as soon as I finish this comment.
I can so relate to the throwing of a party if kids live to adulthood. I have 2 teenage daughters that have to share a room. If they make it to adulthood I'm throwing my own Mardi Gras!
Also I can relate to your response to having a request made of you. Your responses are pretty much how I respond when something major is asked of me (Keep in mind that my idea of 'major' differs wildly from how others define it. I have much lower standards than most people).
Have a great Tuesday!
Raven
Do you think I could get a bleeding blog button????
Bleeding billboards, now that is nuts! But interesting, my sick mind would love if we had one here in our town, I'd ride by in the rain just to look at it.
Awesome randomness! I'd drive into a ditch, too, if I saw a bleeding billboard--- that is ridiculous!
Also, I fall prey to that photo/post meltdown thing, too. blah.

So, there is a kingmaker behind the Cult of RTT....
I busted the kids trying to figure out how to shimmy up the chimney using my trellis.
Amen, sistah.
So this is REALLY Jenn...not the imposter Julie commenting as me... although she might be more interesting today....
I digress...
I would crash into the billboard...nevermind the ditch. I would be so freaking fixated imagining my own horrible crash and my children screaming that I would make it happen.
Marrying avatars! LMAO! Oh how I've missed you and your randomness (I've been away on vacay for 2 weeks).
Bleeding billboards??!! I'll have to think about that one a bit. I'm sure I'd be following you right into the ditch as well. WTF!
Great RTT!
I want to leave coherent comment somewhat related to your post, but my husbands alarm clock woke me up FROM THE OTHER BEDROOM, even though it's his day off and I have yet to see evidence of why the alarm clock was set in the first place. And also, I haven't had any coffee yet. Let me process this and come back later.
Now I am less horrified by the bleeding billboard than curious about how they did that. Does it actually bleed or is it an optical illusion? If it actually bleeds, how do they make it happen? Yes, I have too much time on my hands.
As always you randomness is hilarious. A bleeding billboard would turn me into a bleeding human pretty quick.
nary a segue?
I'm glad "this" friend encouraged you to blog.. :D
Yay for being suggestible! :D LOL
How do you find out what kind of phrases people type in to get here? You have to teach me how to find out.. :D
Bleeding Billboards??? WTF??? That is just creepy! Happy Random Tuesday!
"Have you fitted your son with protective padding? You should fit your son with protective padding. Why haven't you put your son in protective padding?" LOL-drink a mojito for me!
Are they trying to relate billboards to people? Or living things in general? Last I heard, when it rains, I don't bleed. How about a billboard that goes inside when it rains? Would promote common sense..

Did I miss Mr. Linky? I'm confused.
As for your son, I'm with you. How mine has survived this long is beyond me.
Bleeding billboards, what will they think of next...
I'm really confused on days & thought yesterday was Tuesday and today is Wednesday but I'm wrong! TODAY is Tuesday!
I know what you mean about your son making it to adulthood... my 2nd daughter has taken approx. 20 years off my life from scaring the SHIT out of me with the accidents.
Happily she has made it to her 4th year with no lasting problems!
Thanks for sharing,
Ciao
My three brothers (currently 46, 43,42) all made it to adulthood in spite of their best efforts - and mine. So there is hope for your son.
Oh, they do all have their limbs and skulls intact. I am not sure about their sanity.
you know, they say it takes seven scars to make a man. how many does xander have so far?
Wow.. that's how I got into the whole blog thing too! Also I am also one of those who's avatars get married in the game.
Not only would I drive into the ditch I would probably have at least half the road with me!
Yeah, my airbag would get a workout if I saw a bleeding billboard!
I will go to the party (yes in Canada) if your son makes it with all his limbs! ;)
I've lately been getting a "random things to do for your friends" search. From multiple locations. It's very frightening!
We have a police speed sign in a local neighborhood that puts up your speed, like normal ones, yeah....unless you are over the speed limit and then it starts flashing in neon red!! It's very startling. Great idea, but not really for drivers.
I can't believe you guys are the geeky people that you hear about but you don't beleive is real!! I'm telling EVERYONE!!
That billboard sounds creepy...I wanna see it!!
Yes, I think I would drive off the road if I saw a bleeding billboard.
OMG a bleeding billboard?! Who even thinks of something like that?! Yeah, I would totally drive into the ditch.
bloody billboard? that's totally creepy
A bleeding billboard requires only one word - ewwwwwwwww!
You're still drinking? You rock.
People are still getting to me via "I dry hump my mom." Where's my high road? Sniff, sniff.
a bleeding billboard-yep I'd be in the ditch right along with ya!
Okay laughing my butt off at your randomness... as always. Bleeding Billboard ewwwwwwwwwwww.
I love Tuesdays because of you hun. Keep it up.
