Oh my achy breaky Hannah Montana!

Billy Ray Cyrus made an appearance at a Walmart not far from our home today. Frankly, I could have cared less. Yours truly is NOT into country music. Sorry, but y’all can keep yer country drivel. It’s worse than rap… and I’d rather pull my earballs out than listen to rap. However, Billy Bob… I mean Billy Ray… is on the latest hit Disney show Hannah Montana. My daughters are all about THAT show. And I am all about my daughters. So… yeah… I attempted to get in and have a peek at him.

But, as you can see by the photo above, there was NO WAY of seeing Billy Ray. That line was wrapped all the way around to the back of the building. Inside the store, the line went from the doors, over to the center aisle and all the way to the back of the store where Billy was apparently seated behind a wall of screaming kids and women… and big dads with kids on their shoulders. (I think they had the ambulances there because I’ve been known to seriously injure bystanders when subjected to country music. They were a precaution in case Cyrus started singing his Achy Breaky Heart nonsense. I would have been doing the Dismemberment Line Dance from one end of the store to the other.)

We left. My daughters were slightly disappointed, but not too much. After all, their dad is Sammy Ray Snyder. And he don’t sing country!

Don’t go back, child! If you didn’t catch all the EEP on the way through, it’s okay! You’re out! You lived! To heck with the EEP! Head for the hills!

Because on a hill is the best place to watch a fireworks store when it’s on fire! What a show that would be!

How I Survive Corporate Meetings

(Originally posted on the website Heron Flight)

I have a tendency to doodle while in meetings at work. Sometimes I do it just to keep myself awake. Sometimes I do it because most meetings are torturously BORING.

Sometimes… I get caught. My manager saw this first picture below in a meeting yesterday and asked, “Is that drawing of anyone in particular?”

It was tempting to say, “Not really. But you inspired the dumb look in his eyes!”

I swear that most meetings are unnecessary and contribute to the overall dumbing-down of our society. These doodles are proof of just how dumb some of us are becoming.

(If you can decipher my handwriting, you may find tidbits of oddity here and there.)
