So! It's Tuesday. I have to be honest, this Tuesday isn't as exciting for me as LAST Tuesday, when I was
I think it left a trail of brain slime, let's follow that...
Conversation with my Mom after she generously babysat the toddler so hubby and I could shop for a new bed in peace:
Mom: "So, did you get one?"
Me: "Yep!"
Mom: "What did you get?"
Me: "Memory foam."
Mom: "Ooooohhh...nice!"
Me: "Yeah! I even got the pillow. I was laying on my side and my spine was totally straight. Everything was in alignment. It was just like on TV. I was an infomercial! The infomercials are right."
Mom: "...I hate that."
I was driving home today and saw a billboard ad for the Blue Man Group. Their makeup looked very...shiny. So then I started thinking, what kind of makeup do they use exactly? Because spending that much time in greasepaint would pretty much stain you blue permanently. Are they willing to make that sacrifice for their art? Nah, it looks too shiny to be greasepaint. Maybe it's some kind of space-age formula, plastics based. Like...Flubber, or something.
Plus, how do they get it on and off? Do they spend hours in the makeup chair for each show? Or do they just bathe in blue stuff? Can you imagine trying to exist without getting blue fingerprints all over every single thing you own? They could never commit a crime. Do you think they have special shower stalls waiting for them the instant they get off stage? I'm now really concerned with the logistics of being the Blue Man Group.
Hubby and I are considering buying an older used camper trailer to holiday in this summer.
And by older, I mean "older than ME", because that's what we can afford.
Yeah, I don't know why we think spending a week in a moldy canvas bag is a good idea, either.
Our new bed is being delivered on Friday. My inlaws are also going to be in town that day. Do you think it's rude to ask them to leave early so we can test out our new purchase?
By NAPPING. I'm talking about SLEEPING. Pervs.
A friend of hubby's is holding an informal karate class twice a week for friends and family. My dream of starring in my own action flick and doing all my own stunts but being really down-to-earth about it is that much closer to reality!And...I think I've outdone myself on randomness, this week. I'm having trouble coming up with a title. Want to play? Grab the button, post your
(I know, I said FoN and I were going to take karate once before. But we didn't. This one is free, I'm FAR more likely to go.)
72 people talked back :
Hummm no Mr Linky here...Oh well here is my link

*goes back to read*
Is Mr Linky being a turd again? Here's mine: http://halfasgoodasyou.com/?p=5315
OK, NOW *I* am concerned about the logistics of being in the Blue Man Group....
Yeah, what IS that blue stuff? It's like giant blue pliable form fitting rubber liberally coated with vaseline. Oh wait, that was last night.
Hey, where's Linky?
Here's mine: http://www.anutinanutshell.com/2009/07/rtt-tuesdays-freak-my-freak.html
It is never rude to ask in laws to leave! Also, maybe the Blue man group does not use make up, maybe they ate some blueberry gum at Willy Wonkas!
Mr Linky is not here, I see some people using a new thing called McLinky! Anyway, if you enter your name and URL, instead of using your blogger profile, you will go right to the blog instead of the persons profile page!
Great randomness. I am jealous of the new bed. We really need one.
Maybe the blue man group sprays their make-up on? It looks kind of gross to me.
No Mr. Linky... :(
Here's mine: http://www.jbsitedesigns.com/?p=4434
Going back to read, now.
Camping is so not my thing. If it doesn't have room service, I'm so not in. Campers creep me out. My mom and step-dad have a really nice pimped out one (it has2 freaking plasma tv's in it), but it still creeps me out.
I'm glad to see it's not just me who can't see Mr Linky. He sucks. Here's mine:
http://myheelsarehigherthanyours.blogspot.com/2009/07/rtt-aerosmith-chocolate-and-other.html
That darn Mr. Linky anyway...how dare he sleep in on RTT?!
Anywho, here's my link:

Happy RTT everyone!
Napping... sure.. Just like we saved ourselves for marriage.. ;)
I can relate...
http://iamharriet.blogspot.com/2009/07/random-blurbs-and-smores.html
it is perfectly fine to ask the in-laws to leave...anytime...for any reason... a new bed is just as good as any other excuse! :)

Doesn't "Mr. Linky" kind of sound like what some guy would name his penis?
http://unmitigated.typepad.com/unmitigated/2009/07/rtt-good-freaking-morning-internet.html
Where's Mr Linky? Is he ill? Hope he isn't hungover!
And I hate it when the infomercials are right - damn then and their confidence in the product lol.

I love your randomness Keely. No official random-lishous post from me this morning, but later today I'll get on it. Aren't blogs, by nature, pretty random? Or is it just me/ mine. Hmmm.
Everybody was kung fu fighting......
those memory foam pillows are great. I bought one for hubbie for christmas as a "OMG what will I get him" gift and he loves it.

I've seen The Blue Man Group several times and even have a picture of one of those blue bastards stealing my beer. Seriously, he reached down, took a swig and left a huge blue greasy ring on the bottle. We then proceeded to buy him another and took several goofy pictures with him. His blueness got on my clothes and I seriously couldn't get it out. I'm sure they're the memory foam people's worst nightmare.
Dude, Mr. Linky done sold you out.
http://www.spriteskeeper.com/my_weblog/2009/07/rtt-my-nerves-are-getting-to-me.html
Blue Man Group, I don't know where I heard this, but the face paint is a latex that gets painted on and then peeled off for quicker, um, disrobing.
I still find it creepy.
I'm so jealous about your new bed. We need one desperately. You'll have to let us know how you like the memory foam.
Here is my randomness for this week:
http://dailymishmash.com/2009/summer-randomness/
We have an older than the dinosaurs motor home that depending on the mood we've affectionately nicknamed "Winnie" or the "Mobile Ghetto!"

I wish we had a new bed! Ours is like 10 years old!
Here is our random thoughts:
http://www.bluemonkeybutt.com
Oh good, I'm not the only one who's curious about the Blue Man Group and their seemingly extra shiny blue makeup and the blue fingerprints situation... Hopefully someone will enlighten us! ;)
Ooooh! Memory Foam - so the infomercials are correct, eh? I'll wait to decide after you've updated us on your thorough tests... ;)
I wonder if hubby would be more interested in camping if we got one of those ancient campers? I love to camp, he'd rather stay in a motel... :)
An informal karate class that's free sounds like a great opportunity...then you'll have some mad skillz to go along with your Ninja outfit! ;)
Mr. Linky is still sleeping...here's my link:
Puppy Déjà vu
There is not a single infomercial out there that can't convince me I need three of whatever they're selling. I'm very susceptible to their particular brand of sales tactics.
And I have a homemade ravioli maker that I never use to prove it.
Here's my RTT:
http://bloggingmama-andrea.blogspot.com/2009/07/random-tuesday-thoughts-baseball.html
See if you can rent a trailer. I can give you the name of the guy who hooked us up. It's $300/week, which isn't so bad. Unless you are keen on becoming 'camping people' and plan to be taking off every weekend to be one with nature and all that. Then you should buy one.
OK, cheaper and nicer to just go to a hotel than a camper, that you have to clean yourself.
Bluemen...have you seen that painted on bathing suits? Same idea, except blue all over and can still move around.
Grats on the new bed!! Have fun breaking it in. heheh
Mr.Linky is not working for me:

Happy Randomness!!!
I have a memory foam topper for my bed which is fabulous...can't imagine how wonderful and entire bed of it is...ahhhhh.
My DH is all about camping. I used to be. Haven't been able to "get it up" for the tent since I've been pregnant or nursing for the past four years. Maybe in like 2 years. Now he wants to put the tent in the backyard right by our bedroom window so that he can watch tv in our bedroom when the kids fall asleep. He is getting old and lame, too.

I have the same random thoughta about the blue men - they are cool, and freaky all at the same time - i want a memory foam bed - what is this with people and getting new beds?
here's my randomness for today...
http://mommysescape6.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/just-random-i-say-random/
it will be so nice to sleep in those new beds it will fill wonderful
here is my post
http://shopannies.blogspot.com/2009/07/random-thought-tuesday-july-21-2009.html
No Mr. Linky? That's okay :) Here's my randomness for today: http://singlelifeofme.com/2009/07/random-tuesday-thoughts-outbursts-rush-hour-serenity/
Happy Tuesday!
I will be wondering about the blue man group all day. Thanks. I hope they do better than Tobias on Arrested Development if any of you ever watched that show. If not then you are the reason it got cancelled. Thanks a lot.
I love campers just stay away from moldy canvas.
No Mr. Linky today. Here's randomness. http://michele-dogslife.blogspot.com/2009/07/rtt-ramblin-ramblin-ramblin-keep-those.html
Just saw there was no Mr. Linky. I am sure no one will visit but here is the link anyway.
http://lifeofanewdad.blogspot.com
Mr. Linky must've had nightmares last night too and he's "not with it" http://unfilteredinsanity.com
I'll be back with a real comment soon!
the blue men rock, but I wonder how long they have to work to get that gunk off? it's shiny and water repellant...Im pretty sure I didn't spell that right.
Happy RTT
I wish I could afford to see the BMG. I have wondered about their makeup too. Weird.
We want a name brand memory foam bed eventually. However, we own a very nice mattress that is made with a similar product. It's a Stearns and Foster. It's a good thing Mr. B works for a furniture store. It was free! Best purchase we never made!
I think it is latex that they use, kind of like a mask and when they are done they just peel it off.
Kind of like your clothes when your inlaws leave so you can try out you new bed... by taking a nap of course.
I've been loving the random posts on Tuesdays for awhile and finally got it together to play along...
BTW, am jealous of your memory foam bed. Have beed coveting one for a long time.
Did you see the episodes of Arrested Development where Tobias wants to be in the Blue Man Group?
Sorry, Michael, I just blue myself. :)
Hey when you were in the store testing out your mattress did you try out that trick where they sit a glass of red wine on one side of the bed and then jump up and down?
I bet that would have freaked the salesman out.
We, too, went the memory foam path. Ahhh, sinking into oblivian. Warning, you might need to sleep with an open window for a day or so. It was kind of stinky at first!
As for the blue men: It takes a Blue Man approximately one hour to get in costume for the show. The Blue Men wear grease paint on their heads. It never dries. This effect allows the Blue Men to maintain that wet gooey look throughout the show.
Didn't anyone else just go to the website to find out? Damn people, use the interwebs for something other than porn once in a while...
Do you find it hard to roll over on the memory foam? I bought a pillow top and will never do that again! Have you tried balancing a glass of red wine on one side and jumping on the other yet? lol
It's never rude to ask your in-laws to leave. Well, maybe it is, but I do it anyway.
too much bed talk.
now i want a nap.
andy
p.s. and sex.
My memory foam bed was the best purchase I ever made in my life. Makes me feel like I'm living the infomerical life. In a good way.
Hey all! Jumping aboard the Random Tuesdays for the first time. Followed Stacy over here.
Oh, Memory foam! Sounds nice. I have a sleep number and I LOVE it.
Ha ha ha I've wondered about the Blue Man Group myself.
Your making me want to buy a new mattress. Mine sucks!
I want a little travel tailor as well. Maybe not one older than me though.
Seriously Blue Man Group, what is up with the makeup?! We want answers!
The Blue Man Group, that is weird. I hadn't thought about that. The not touching anything and how long it must take. I wonder if it's like second skin stuff? You know like the stuff they use instead of stiches. It could be. You just never know.
I am now insanely courious about the blue man group make up and must research it. I love your randomness Keely Every tuesday just makes me smile!
We were thisclose to buying a memory foam bed but it ended up being a little too pricey for our sad budget. They look heavenly, though! And hell yeah, kick out the inlaws, to um, nap. Sure. :)
Happy RTT!
Hope you love your new bed. I have no idea about the Blue Man makeup... we should look into it!
Great post! We've got a memory foam bed and it's just fantastic.
This is my first Random Thoughts Tuesday - hope I'm random enough for you all.
Maybe the blue is some type of body condom? Just a thought.
I didn't participate because my wife thinks my time might be better spent trying to find a job. Sigh.
hope you enjoy your new bed.
Just wanted to let you know that I'll be back to check our your post Keely, and everyone else's as soon as I'm feeling better. Have a great day all!
Raven
Ha, I'm sure the in-laws will understand if you have caught newbeditis and they must leave early!
I also hate it when infomercials are true!
I like the post title you wound up with. Nice.. ring to it. Hm.
Your No Doubt references are totally affecting my life. See my linked post.
And I've NEVER seen the Blue Man Group, after wanting to for years.
Dude! Will you place a glass of wine on the memory foam and then jump on the bed to see if it spills?! I would do that, like, the second I got it home!
did you ask google about the blue man group?! he knows everything.
Mmmmm...memory foam...sounds all cushy and cozy!
I've always wanted to see the Blue Man Group but never put any thought into what goes into being a blue man. Now it's taking up entirely too much of my thought process.
Great randomness as usual!
Oh my, who knew there was so much to consider about the Blue Men...I'll be contemplating all this for a while now...
i Linked, coz im cool.
:D
My friend saw the Blue Man Group and HATED it. They threw toilet paper at the crowd and then sprayed them with water. Her outfit was ruined (and she was dating a guy with money so she had worn her nicest outfit).
Sigh.
Memory foam huh? Is it, um, extra bouncy? For, you know, sleeping?
Congratulations on your new mattress purchase! We have a memory foam mattress pad, and I have a memory foam pillow which nobody is allowed to use but me. I think with an entire mattress, I would go wild with pleasure. Enjoy the napping.
aint that the truth.
i have to reseach her because my school art folio is based on superheroes... i finding it really difficult to find reference pictures of wonderwoman and catwoman that dont portray them as sex starved nymphos.
but i live with burden, the upside is that when the teachers glance at my screen they think im looking at porn. :D
I must be going crazy cause I thought I linked myself earlier today but...I didn't. I'm going nuts.
I THINK I once saw that they actually wear a suit and the make up is only around their eyes. But then again I THOUGHT I was here earlier... Maybe it's a time warping thing. Maybe I'm losing my mind.
FYI - the "O" face storytellers are now pictured in my RTT blog. They aren't the exact ones Misty has, but you definitely get the idea :)
First timer. Hopefully, you won't kick me out after seeing my pathetic offering. :|
Ah, how I've missed your randomness...
I would SO be testing the bed by napping. My spine hasn't been in alignment in years.
Excellent randomness, once again. Your bit about the Blue Man Group made me think of an episode of 'Angel' (yes, I can relate anything to 'Buffy' or 'Angel') where Fred was contemplating whether or not they were demons and Angel informed her that 2 members of the Blue Man Group were indeed demons. Not so funny if you've never seen that episode, but I got a laugh out of it.
Congrats on the new bed, there's nothing like a good bed. I have a Sealy Posturepedic (not sure how to spell that) and I love it.
Have a great day!
Raven
I have a memory foam mattress and sooo love it! and now i have to go google
'blue man group paint process
