What Goes Around

After resuming all that is great and wonderful in the world (i.e., my blogging prowess), I entertained myself by re-reading some of my older (though still absolutely hysterical) verbal stylings and came to one conclusion: I am running out of references. How is this possible you ask, knowing full well that I am overflowing with pop culture witicisms and other miscellaneous knowledge? Well, I answer, I'm not really sure. But note that, in my most recent post, I mentioned having the ability to pause time and take a nap. Unfortunately, I used the exact same reference to Out of this World in an earlier post. There's also my double Burt Reynolds reference (does this make it triple now?). The man deserves some respect but am I giving him too much?* After inserting yet another punchy give-and-take between Ryan and me (another retread), I was about to post something alluding to the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil - only to remember I've already done it. It's starting to sound like the same old, same old that happens when my friends gather in Monument to rehash "Good times, Great oldies." I think Christy can tell most of my childhood stories better than me at this point - and she's nice enough to call my bluff when I start to exaggerate (Love ya baby!).

What I really enjoyed about the blog was not so much my postings but the give-and-take between multiple characters in the "comments" section. So, Ryan, Carissa, Christy, Karen and Mark: get back up in the saddle and make yourself heard like 100 Rifles.




*In an unrelated sidenote, I finally watched the original The Longest Yard a few months back - I think the remake is going to be disappointing. But since Hollywood seems obsessed with remakes right now, I vote that Adam Sandler star as Burt in every role. Who wouldn't go see Billy Madison in Smokey and the Bandit? He could even follow it up with a turn in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Boogie Nights - again, perfect roles. Carissa, do what you can to set this up.
