13: The Way We Roll
1. The first thing I said upon waking Monday morning was, “the party’s over,” meaning THIS.
2. Then I rolled over onto a token from Chuck E. Cheese.
3. I wonder if Chuck E. Cheese was named after the same guy in THIS Rickey Lee Jones song.
4. I did some research and wasn’t able to find out the origin of Chuck E. Cheese’s name, but I did find out that “Entertainment” is his middle name.
5. Best headline title of a commentary after the first presidential debate: Romney Debate Win: He Proved He Could Sell a Junk Car with No Engine as a New Cadillac.
6. Worst thought while on vacation at Bethany Beach last month: The beach is a giant litter box for seagulls.
7. The ocean is the amniotic fluid of the planet.
8. THIS is the way me and my grandsons roll and it’s as close to riding a roller coaster as I’ll ever get.
9. It’s not how old you are, but how you are old. Jules Renard
10. Local News Anchor’s On-Air Message for Viewer Who Called Her Fat HERE.
11. According to THIS online dictionary, October has two definitions. What’s the alternate meaning of this month?
12. Said while walking with a friend recently: This is the time of year when the leaves are leaving.
13. I posted THIS poem about the harvest moon looking like a wheel of cheddar with a missing corner about to roll off the counter into night’s black abyss on this blog and on Facebook at the same time in a race for comments. Facebook won (but the blog caught up).

Don’t do Facebook.
Have never, nor ever likely to do Chuck E Cheese (waterboarding seems a gentler alternative).
Have have have done, said and written much that caused disbelief with myself.
But as you say, that is the way we roll.

Another great list!!! Enjoyed this peak into your month.

Numbers four and five had me giggle-snorting.
I hope you can live with that. 😉
Very interesting list this week – I saw the video of that news anchor a few days ago, and I am so proud of her for speaking up about it. Granted, it did give her “bully” a few minutes of fame in a way, but it also showed that not everyone has a right to an opinion on someone else’s appearance.
Oh, and number nine is an important one to remember. I must make an effort to keep that in mind. 😉
Happy TT!

No idea that October had two meanings – good to know. Roll on!

#1 is not available anymore–or something. Maybe because it is on Facebook, and I’m not.
I couldn’t figure out where you and your dear sweet grandsons were, in that chair….Is it like 3d or something??
Always love your T13’s Colleen…..How you are able to do ALL that you do, including T13, amazes me!

Love number 5 — I had not heard that one. Trying to decide whether I want to listen to tonight’s VP debate.
Number 10 — As you can imainge, very popular topic and much talked about across our state–even before it made national news.
An autumn T13

Naomi, I changed the link in #1 to explain “party.” And #8 is the video clip that explains the seat/ride I’m in with my grandsons.

oh, how I loved that song! I remember Charles on WBCN playing that 🙂
October 11th, 2012 4:27 pm
I LOVED WBCN and Charles Laquidara (and Rickie’s song)! Radio has never been the same.

The Birthday Party looks wonderful—Great looking Cake!
As to #8..I still do not understand where you are and what it is that is happening and why it is as close to a roller coaster as you will get. NOTHING is moving but you all are obviously seeing something that is scary…Sorry, it is not clear to me…lol….and I watched the Video twice….!

Not doing the 13 this week myself, except as a reader/commenter, but it looks like you were having a blast. Good for you. Love the amniotic fluid bit.
