13: The One Stop Blog Hop
1. I thought of my six-year-old grandson Bryce (who got confused by the Great Oaks pool bathrooms that were marked M for mermaids and P for pirates) when I went to the bathroom at Mickey G’s Bistro yesterday. The ladies room there is marked with a picture of Audrey Hepburn and the men’s room has Frank Sinatra on the door.
2. I think James Brown’s song Get Up Offa That Thing would make a good alarm clock ringtone.
3. Fracking and Twerking are two new words that make me turn up my nose and question the sanity of of humanity.
4. I don’t want marijuana in my food anymore than I want my food to be genetically modified.
5. As a pie lover I was in heaven Friday night when my friend Bob brought three homemade apple/berry pies to a neighborhood potluck. But by the morning my pie bubble was burst and I was grieving the loss of our entire corn crop. It had been trampled and eaten by raccoons that climbed a 10 foot garden fence with electric wire to get to it.
6. Instead of a cosmonaut I call this picture of an ant exploring the world of a cosmos flower a cosmoant.
7. Facebook quote from Kyla that’s worth repeating: An apple fell to the ground and Newton discovered the law of gravity. Hundreds of bombs fell on Palestinians and no one discovered the law of humanity.
8. The one stoplight T-shirt art was done by Floyd artist Emily Williamson (who I wrote about HERE) for the new Revolution Juice Bar and Bakery Yurt at Floydfest.
9. Full moon temptation / at the traffic light / the redlight says Stop / but the moonlight says Come / awakening my natural signals.
10. If I was made of pottery and the sun was my kiln, my glaze would be freckles.
11. Coffee is not my cup of tea.
12. It was dinner theater with a flair, with a pirouette and a spin, with veils, feathered boas and a petticoat at the second annual One Stoplight Variety Show, held at Oddfella’s Cantina See HERE.
13. The Name Game gets some good giggles HERE.

I’m with you on number three! Some of the new words recently added to dictionaries really make you wonder–and fear for the human race, lol. My T13

Love that stoplight! I agree about the James Brown song.

I’m with your grandson–those bathroom signs are confusing! What if someone is a mermaid pirate? Then they’d really be baffled!
Thank you for visiting Poetry of the Netherworld, and for your kind comment on my memorial poem for my father.

Nice 13, CR. Three points:
1) Re #9: Very cool. Working a moonphase poem myself right now.
2) Name game: I play it myself, at hyperspeed, with kids. They always giggle and come up with an endless list of words to do, just like your grands. But I don’t appreciate you planting the earworm so early in the morning.
3) FYI: Your link over at T13 leads us to your (lovely) Wednesday post.

Ants get all over my peonies in the spring; enough so I don’t want to cut them to bring them inside. I’ve never noticed ants on my cosmos though.
Anyway…
A choker type weed is taking over my flower garden. I can’t get rid of of. It makes me feel like you must have felt when the raccoons got over the fence. 🙁

I might get confused by pirates and mermaids, too.

Totally agree with you on number 3

[…] 8. Speaking of bathroom signs, when my grandson Bryce was six, he rightfully got confused by the Great Oaks pool bathrooms that were marked M for mermaids and P for pirates. I thought of him later when I went to the bathroom at Mickey G’s Bistro where the lady’s room was marked with a picture of Audrey Hepburn and the men’s room has Frank Sinatra on the door. – From the 2014 One Stop Blog Hop HERE.
