You need to play this song very loud and dance around and wear a tight pencil skirt and buy a Hammond piano. All these things will make you teh happy. Especially if you are usually a man.
Second of all, I'd like to institute a Friday night beer blog bash where bloggers have a few and write stuff just like in high school or college or whenever it is you started using mind altering substances - beer...wine coolers...pixie stix...food coloring...MSG...and etc. - and then got all deep and poetic.
I'ld like to institute this except now it's Saturday morning early and it's just too late for Friday night now.
Third of all, have you hit replay on that video yet?
I honestly think - and I say this in all sincerity, I've picked this from my "good ideas" bin and boy oh boy is it loaded with good ideas - but I think that what the Democrat party could really do for Teh Unity after the horrible divisions and multiplicacities of this past primary season is to have Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sing this song as a duet on television in black and white on the old Ready Steady Go set. Seriously. I'd so vote for them then.
Have you hit replay on this song again yet? you should. I did. I can sing this song. Not well. but I'll do it and that's a promise and a threat.
hey...sometimes I wonder who is reading my blog. I mean, all those other times when I' m not posting photos of myself in dissarray. I see the hits from Dubai and Sao Paolo, but I know they're just looking for that naked photo of David Suzuki.
I'm trying to think of some way to gauge this other than a contest to win my toaster. And that's not just because i'm trying to get rid of my toaster as an excuse to buy a new one.
Damn...the song is over again. How about this one. This one is good too. Dang...YouTube won't let me imbed it. Open it in a new window, would ya?
I was thinking that everyone could post in the comments with...uh...their favorite word. And then I'd take all those words and use them to write an epic poem. Or a new Mark Ronson song. Or a play. Or a word search puzzle to send to George Bush to keep him busy until January.
No?
Okay. Now listen to this. really...it will make you feel all...all...one in the morning. I don't know what's up with the video, but thesong is melty warm.
Now...one last thing I need to say before I head to hit the hay.
BlogHer.
It makes me weep big goofy tears all down the front of my blouse to think that I can't make it there yet again. This big problem, as I see it, it that San Francisco isn't in Philadelphia. Because if San Francisco were in Philadelphia then I would be there even if there were a cheese steak store and some big guy in and Eagles jersey puking on the corner of Haight and Ashbury. The second problem is that I am not Dooce's valet. Because then I'm sure I could be all like "Hey, Dooce, let me valet for your laptop and you can write my plane ticket off as a business expense and I promise I won't go network while you need me to plug in your laptop and fetch you pretzels and more Sharpies to sign autographs."
As it is, a plane ticket to SanFrancisco from Harrisburg is like as much money as a new 40-year shingle roof and a pair of allegator skin contact lenses.
So like, next year, what's say BlogHer is somewhere closer for me and MamaTulip to drive to? I hear that the Camp Hill Mall is nice. Or Lancaster, PA what with the Amish and all...there would be little competition for bandwidth, right? But my vote is Philly.
Anwyaw, I'm going to be at the DC mini BlogHer and I hope that you will be there, too. It's only one day to fit in three days of
Will you be there? Wanna be my roommate? I don't snore and I won't play this song on my iPod steroe all night, I promise.
But if there's drunk BlogHer karaoke, I can't promise i won't try to sing it.
I hear Sweetney does a wicked awesome version of Photograph, but I'm not sure if it's the Ringo Starr version or the Def Leppard version.
Allright.
Time to take my contact lenses out and say nighty night.
OH! and next week, I'm going ta be gone with my little doods and I need someone to tend house here with a blog post or two. Any takers? The keys to the Halushki kingdom. Think about it.
Night night. Kiss kiss.

1st, nice use of "Whilst". When I see "Whilst" in a title, it's a total neck snapper.
2nd, what an awesome idea for Friday night. I'm starting now.
Kerri-
That was my heart, bitch.
Not a mere plaything
with which
you may dally.
I fucking hate you.
Is that what you meant? Like, write like you did in high school, right? Otherwise, that's just a weird little poem I tossed into the Pennsylvania night.
I would offer Jozet of Halushki but can you say Black Hockey Overkill?
I'm always first here. Black Hockey Jesus is the new Backpacking Dad. O fuck it I can't resist. Blackpacking Dad? It's late, Jozet of Halushki.
Please tell me that you weren't drinking yellow, fizzy beer. Please tell me that you were drinking something from Troeg's, or from Victory Brewing. If not, I will be heartbroken.
And when do we get a BlogHim? Tired of all this hoopla about BlogHer.
Namaste.
I won't be going to BlogHer, either. Even the offer of a thousand bridesmaids, as tempting as it is, does not make it possible for me to afford the trip to CA or a weekend in San Francisco! DC is probably too far, too, and I do snore. Thanks for the great music.
"Quackers"
My current favorite word is Quackers. Ask the kids, they'll tell you I drive them quackers with it.
Dang. That girl could almost pass for a young Dolly Parton if she had bigger ... um, hair.
I like the Friday idea as well.
I'm going to do mushrooms and then write, or maybe not. I won't care.
I'll join you next Friday night! I was kinda hoping they'd make BlogHer in Cleveland next year. What are the chances of that happening, do you think?
This has to be one of the best dirnk-n-blogs I've ever read. My high school poem:
In the cold light
of Sunday morning
I wish I woke up to see
that you weren't as hot
as I thought you were last night
but actually,
you're hotter
I will cherish my memory of you
spilling my beer all over
my favorite white shirt,
you are so handsome
you were so sweet
to help me dry off
when will you talk to me during Biology?
why don't you know my name?
when will you break up with that stupid Karen-girl?
she's so nasty
and I'm so nice
[insert quiet moping and Madonna playing in the background]
And after that masterpiece, I'm sure you'll love to take me up on this offer: but I'd be happy to guest blog if you like.
Mommytime...
That...that was beautiful.
I'm all verklempt. Did I spell that right? Well, I am.
I think we might have something here with Toasty Friday Night Blogging. Or Sunday morning, you wonderful lush.
If you want to guest blog here next week, just pick a day.
Black Hockey Jesus -
I'd be loving for you to guest blog here a day. Will you wear a Speedo? Please say yes.
Girl, you could have gotten some good stuff from me last night for a Saturday drink'nblog....whoooo hoooo....lines of beautiful prose about dark chocolate fondue fountains and a haiku about the girl who always has to dance first and alone. Good times.
I too love Duffy, it's my ringtone and I love the fact that when it goes off, people around me inevitably sort of start grooving. It's like they can't help it. It's infectious.
I cannot get to San Francisco either, as Florida might as well be Saturn when it comes to financing that trip. If Dooce ever does advertise for a valet, I'll arm-wrestle you for the job! I'm going to the Atlanta conference because a little BlogHer is better than NO BlogHer.
Ok, well, my comment because a full fledged post. Sorry about that.

Okay it's 5:18 am on a Monday morning in Guam and I can't listen to the music because seriously the kids would be up and yelling and somehow I'd have to hold them all and convince them they each and every one were my favorite- hard to do when I'd be all cranky inside because my coffee was half finished and in 3 hrs and 38 minutes I have a full clinic to see!
So I'll sit here and rock to the imaginary beat...
Are you serious about the guest post? Because I'd be honored!!
Er,Um-That is if you still need someone.

I won't be at BlogHer either. My skirts and blouses are all at the cleaners.
Seagulls fly above
Screaming,
Screaming in code.
I will feed them
Alka
Seltzer
Then watch them
Explode.
kaBOOOOOM!
Just like my heart
In sixth period
By the blue lockers.
Ehere I saw
You
And
It.
Thanks for swinging by my blog. Come again. We never close.
Yeah, next year BlogHer should be much closer to the Canada/US border.
MUCH.
Wish I could go, too. I'm so afraid it would be too much like high school.
"I'm so afraid it would be too much like high school."
If that means that Ron Ferrari is going to hit on me all during study hall, I'm SO there.
If it means that I'm going to be publicly humiliated for not knowing what the Pythagorean theorom is, and then the computer teacher catches me smoking in the bathroom, well then For. Get. It.
I can't make it this year either. And I live in Los Angeles.
I always blog on beer. Always. So Friday night would be nuttin' special. I want Blog'her to hit the Eastern Sea Board. Boston is a lovely city and only an 8 hour drive from my remote, backwoods, Canadian Sleepy Town.
sign me up for the friday nite bloggerthon after getting a nice "happy glow" on. i'll pass on the beer but will clink my wine or cocktail glass in the same direction!
I dug out my pencil skirt (had to suck it in a bit to zip it up)...couldn't find a used Hammond piano on Craigslist so had to pass on that...but rocked out to whomever that chick was. Who IS she Jozet?? That was sweet..think I blew out the speakers on my Dell. Awesome!
I vote for BHJ to host-blog Haluski in your absence!
I am the old Backpacking Dad. I am late to the party (but that makes me cool now, because showing up to the party early means awkwardly offering to help set the place up).
I am in like like with the Friday beer blogging idea. I will invest in beer this summer even though there is no hockey on tv. I will begin blogging buzzed and perhaps I will be funny and interesting instead of boring.
