Twittering About

I've been doing this blogging thing for three years, and it is about time I've done some work on my "platform."
Twitter is now an established and powerful form of social media. Knowledge of how to use it is completely vital to anyone wishing to create and maintain an online profile and base.  While I understand all of these concepts, I’m still terrible at implementing them.

In fact, it has taken me more than 140 characters to explain why I have issues with Twitter.

Therefore I need to practice.

Apparently, snarkiness bordering on offensiveness is also expected, as well as the overuse of impenetrable hashtags.

In that spirit, here are some semi-rude comments concerning recent developments in the mountain states. 

George Awards: It’s OK Provided You’re Riding it Into Town on a Religious Feast Day

Warning

This post contains bad, foul, filthy and unacceptable language - the words that “will curve your spine, grow hair on your hands and maybe, even bring us, God help us, peace without honor.”

This is not a post for children.  Kids, take a hike. 

This is also not a post for those adults who are offended by this type of language.  Do yourself a favor, and go read some of my cute stuff before moral outrage can kick in.

End of Warning.

Man of Steel Sequel News

With other Justice League members being added for the sequel to Man of Steel some of my hope began to rekindle.  I actually think Ben Affleck will do a good job, as him, and the rest of the male cast of Daredevil were definitely not the problem.  Even if he doesn’t it’s fun using him to annoy the few comic geeks that are crazier than I am about this stuff.  I figured the Green Lantern levels of box office percentage drop-off after initial weekend success would teach the movie makers some lessons to improve the next outing.

George Awards: Kids Know They’re Funny

Warning:

This post contains jokes about gross body noises that will disgust adults with a sense of decorum. 

Kids on the other hand will probably roll about on the floor laughing until they join in the noisemaking festivities, either by reflex, or on purpose.

End of Warning.

I’ve often pointed out that while some members of the family are in charge of honest emotions and uplifting thoughts, my responsibilities lie closer to pointless pop culture references and fart jokes.  After considering this statement last time I made it, I realized that it has been the exception rather than the rule that I have stooped to “letting one go” so to speak. That started the fires burning for the George Awards for artificial ones last week, and today’s official Top Ten Farts in Film list that my daughter and I pulled together.

The Old "Favorite Doctor" Question

With Matt Smith’s tenure at an end, folks are revising their lists of how they rate all of the Doctors.  Of course, many are also using this time to take pot shots at actors they didn’t like.

It’s pretty telling that all the Doctors did appear in “Day of the Doctor” looking like they appeared during their time on the show, to illustrate they are ALL included whether the actors are alive, dead or unwilling.

George Awards: They’re Always About That Big

The George Awards these next two weeks, are more benign that previous entries, but slightly more pungent. 

Fart jokes!  They’re fun for all ages. They’re also the reason my brain stared down the path of these posts after my daughter and I started to figure out our favorite movie scenes featuring them.

Yes, sir, we have quality family time at the McGinley home, and I work hard to pass along my comedic knowledge to the next generation…

Or to pass something anyway.

Sit back, relax and hold your nose as we explore the big screen world of the bi-labial fricative.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Week 6

For Rosa’s birthday, Anabelle stayed at Grandma’s for her New Jersey vacation day and we did a double session date night.

The class started with Cha Cha.  There were some issues at first:

A) Rosa tried the moves on the “Cha cha cha” instead of the “one two”.

B) I couldn’t find the beat on either the “Cha cha cha” or the “one two”.

I'm Still Dancin'

Prequel:

With two full semesters of dance lessons under our belt, we approached an end of summer wedding ready to demonstrate our skills.

The combination of a couple months without rehearsal, and returning from the continuous walking of a Disney trip only two days before affected our ability somewhat.

Our reaction to most of the music was:

“That sounds like a (Rumba/Hustle/whatever). 

Do you remember any steps?

No?

Me neither.”

The classes couldn’t restart soon enough.

They usually move the tables and chairs.
