Not quite Tweets

I wish the automatic flushing toilet at work would stop making people think I'm having difficult BMs by flushing four to eight times during my pee break.

Spent 25 minutes cursing the almost-broken printer. Supervisor said, "That suck. I'm sure you have more important things to be doing." Then I realized...not really...

Alexandre Despatie is far superior than Michael Phelps in the looks department. Probably because Phelps is part fish.

I should definitely introduce Joan Rivers the Macbook to Mr. T the barbecue.

As much as I hated the squeaky toy that could make the Baby Jesus cry, I'm depressed now that I have to watch Calvin desperately search for it nonstop.

I have plans every day this week and just thinking about it makes me want to go fetal. I love people but I also love go-to-bed-at-nine days.

How long is too long to spend writing a blog post about testicles? Friday will be a good blog day.

I thing I love about being back in Buffalo is watching Canadian TV again! I missed CBC!!! Last night I watched your man dive...he is a cutie and the trampoline!

Word Perv said...

I don't care. I *HEART* Michael Phelps.

Dr Zibbs said...

One time at work, the urinal overflowed. I mean, basically burst a pipe. I was too embarrased to that people would think it was me so I ignored it. It pretty much ruined the floor.

verybadcat said...

If Phelps had his ears pinned, it would help his looks score immensely. Just sayin'.

I don't believe there is a time limit on writing about testicles. Probably one of those subjects that warrants whatever time is needed...

Could we not buy the pup a silent new toy to ease the mourning process? :)

The Dutchess of Kickball said...

It has become a challenge of mine to get out of the stall on only one flush. I get so proud!

Essentially Me said...

Alexandre is H-O-T!

Non-sequitor: When I read "the squeaky toy that could make the Baby Jesus cry," I initially took it much more literally. I was picturing, I don't know, some sort of rubber nativity scene wherein, when one squeezed Mary or Joseph, the Baby Jesus made crying sounds. May say something about my Catholic upbringing.

Kimberly said...

Perhaps the squeaky toy can be used only when you're at work? Is it safe enough to leave him alone with? You know of our laughing donkey toy already. It only comes out in short intervals before being put away for longer intervals. And, no, I don't feel sorry when Tofu searches for it. That's the heartless witch that I am...

Ben said...

Auburn: The trampoline is nuts! I completely agree.

WordPerv: I wouldn't kick him outta bed.

Zibbs: I'd do the exact same thing. No shame in that!

VeryBadCat: I've said it before, I'll say it again, I've never noticed he had anything above the torso.

Dutchess: So it's normal then? I was getting worried and anaylzing my movement patterns.

Essentially: Oh yes. Oh yes yes yes.

Robert: Hahahaha I expect that is too offensive to carry in stores.

Kimberly: Oh the donkey, the donkey!! That thing outdoes squeaky by far.

Allie said...

I had a teacher who, when asked how long a paper had to be, always said, "Like a skirt - long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep things interesting." Probably the same goes for testicle posts.

Alexa said...

i can't wait for balls friday

JB said...

A blog post about testicles? I can't wait for Friday to roll around.

Kristen said...

I am totally psyched for the testicles on Friday.

I freaking love this blog!

roro said...

Is the post about athlete balls? Because holy shit - the last few days of the Olympics, it feels like every time I turn around, I have some guy's junk in my face. In HD, no less. Enough with the moose knuckles! Does no one wear a cup any more??

Rachel said...

I may write a post like this too;

30 seconds in Rachel's head.

~Angela~ said...

I actually watched the Olympics last night (unusual for me). A friend of mine was all about that Alex D guy, but I had a thing for He Chong. That man is pretty, and his body does things that I can't comprehend.

I look forward to the testicles post. (Is that weird?)

Ben said...

Allie: I'm still laughing at that comment and trying to figure out how to use that quote.

Alexa: Sadly not enough material for a weekly theme, but I'll give you at least the one post.

JB: Note to self: testicles are popular.

Kristen: I freaking love YOUR blog. I mean, thanks.

Roro: That's where you and I are different, I'm afraid. I've been more like, OMG! Every time I turn around there's some guy's JUNK in my face! IN HD NO LESS! No one wears a cup anymore!!!

Rachel: It's an easy fix to not a whole lot else going on :)

Angela: The newf liked Chong actually. I guess he was okay. To be honest though, I only have eyes for Alex. Ball anticipation? Not weird if you go by the random sampling of my commenters.

Ashley said...

I'm with you.

I love going to bed early and whenever i have plans, I instincively want to cancel those plans and stay at home on the couch.

It's an issue, really. (Good thing I already found my husband, because I would NEVER meet a guy if it came down to it.)

Hillary said...

I guess Phelps isn't hot ... if you look at his face. Personally, I can't stop looking at that yummy little muscle right above his hip - you know, that above-hip groove that only yummy muscley men get.

.Nicotine.Queen. said...

My roommate has the biggest crush on Alexandre. Last night we spend a large portion of the night figuring out the perfect letter to send to his fan club.

And I must agree.

Noelle said...

Michael Phelps has accomplished the extraordinary feat of being the only human being to have his or her looks improved upon by the addition of the swim cap. It makes the rest of us mere mortals look like jerks.

Ben said...

Ashley: I know what you mean. It doesn't help that I live further away from my friends now. I LOVE hanging out with people and doing things, but it takes so much more effort to organize these days.

Hillary: I like the idea of that muscle but I didn't like it the one time it was found on someone I was dating. It's kinda creepy in reality. Maybe I'm just jealous. Okay, I'm definitely just jealous.

Nicotine: FAN CLUB?? Why aren't I the president of massages yet??

Noelle: haha so true! Without it he looks like a fish out of water!! OH PUN POINTS!

...love Maegan said...

the toilet at work is always a problem...especially when you work in a small space ...everyone can hear EVERYTHING!

JL said...

In my head I was all like "at least your toilets flush automatically - here if the toilet doesn't do it, no one will".

*sick*

rs27 said...

Your man Alexander was on the TV yesterday and all the girls in the bar stopped to watch him dive.

Or look at his body.

Either way.

Maxie said...

i have plans every day this week too after a VERY long weekend... it's making my brain hurt a little bit.

megkathleen said...

Please don't put a limit on amount to time spent writing a blog about testicles. Take all the time you need.

Bombchell said...

lol Omg u're blog is absolutely hilarious.

and hearing someone flush is definitely better than hearing them pee or worse!! plus worst they could think is ure totally OCD dong a number 2, and u dont want the place to get funky.

I'll check out the links =) have fun working lol!

( . )( . ) said...

Part fish, part steriods....

*waits for the barrage of abuse to head her way*

Interesting post!!

I would also not donate more then 20 mins to a post about testicles, anything after that just seems creepy.

Evan said...

i am here from dr z -- you are hysterical...

we have BIG signs at work in the (stinky) mens room - -please flush -- apparently the people on the other side of the floor think the urinals are auto flush and never flush (which of course i do).

you must have seen the picture of phelps doing the gold medal spitz

Katelin said...

i hate automatic flushing toilets. they freak me out. am i alone with that one?

Ben said...

Maegan: Our offices are huge but still...the repeated flush is an unmistakable notice of uncooperative poops.

JL: Yikes. That's naaasty.

RS27: What?! He's a diver???!

Maxie: I love it when the plans are happening. But thinking about them makes me tired...

Megkathleen: Deal. But I'm sending complainers to you.

Bombchell: I really don't want them even thinking that...

(.)(.): Twenty minutes? That's it? that's only ten minutes per ball...

Evan: That's a TERRIBLE picture! And thanks!

Katelin: I don't really see the point. It's not so hard to flush and you have to wash your hands anyway.

Bombchell said...

u have to admit, it'll be funny though. hmm okay ur prob not laughing, lol

Little Fish said...

Can one ever really write too much about testicles? I think not!

PrincessB said...

I don't know...there's just something about that Michael kid. Oh yeah, his body is totally ripped. More so than the previously mentioned Canadian. Oh, let's not argue...they're both frickin hot!

I seriously almost aspirated in response to the opening of your blog. I hate those damn toilets.

Ben said...

bombchell: I'm laughing now because for my visits, the bathroom gives me like eight flushes. Yet, I can still go in there and see someone's leftovers. That's NOT RIGHT.

LittleFish: You and I are going to get along juuust fine.

Princess: Yeah. I don't think either one has anything to be ashamed of considering they spend the bulk of their time near-naked in front of the world.

Bombchell said...

ewww that's gross!!!! i didnt need to know or imagine all that, lol
