Does the Blue Man Group sleep on memory foam? I bet they bought the protective cover if they do : Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 at 3:53AM 
So! It's Tuesday. I have to be honest, this Tuesday isn't as exciting for me as LAST Tuesday, when I was screaming like a teenage girl watching No Doubt perform. But my mind HAS been wandering all over the place today. Want to know where it went?
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.
Easily amused Inquiring minds want to know, people.
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.
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 yourA 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!
(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.)

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... :(

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:

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...

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?

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.

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:

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:

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:

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:
