Why is it that when Supreme Leader gives me a shopping list of more than two items I will inevitably have to call her to remind me what the hell I was sent out for in the first place yet 30+ years on I have no problems recalling this list?
I went along with Liam's class to the pumpkin patch yesterday. Gale force winds, rain like icy daggers, thigh deep mud and twenty-two five year olds who've picked pumpkins far too big for them to carry. Good times. Good times.
"Who cleans up the pineapple juice spilt on my floor?" Never liked Sponge Bob.
Not random enough?
If Roger Moore carrying a light sabre isn't random enough for you then I'm sorry, I can't help you. Maybe The Un-Mom can.

ha...the 007 jedi interesting....and the pumpkin patch sounds like fun...so you ended up carrying a bunch of pumpkins eh?
ReplyDeleteRemember in the 70s there were maybe a dozen cereals & most had "Sugar" in their names? Now there are a hundred even at the tiniest grocery.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me to get bread...and juice. Can't stand Sponge Bob - love the image
Ah, the days of going to the supermarket for your mom before you reached your 6th birthday! Those were good times.
ReplyDeleteI love you. I really, really love you. A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of buttah. Just this morning, I sang my husband the song about the Alligator King with 7 sons, who needed cheering up. He remembered it! ;-) A toast to the 70s sesame st generation!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...you can find anything on youtube! I hate sponge bob too. He's such an asshole.
ReplyDeleteRoger Moore could have used a light saber. It may have made him a more interesting James Bond. Can you tell he wasn't my favorite?
ReplyDeleteRoger, the Force is not so strong. But I imagine your martinis are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip down Sesame Street memory lane.
Great randomness.
That is completely NOT the way I remembered that Sesame Street clip. I remember one where the kid goes to the store, and gets distracted along the way by a fire engine and other things, and he replaces the items on the list with the things he sees. Now I have to go find that one. Curse you, Captain Dumbass!
ReplyDeleteWhat strange alignment would have Roger Moore holding a light saber? I posit that it was a badly chosen publicity shot for Moonraker.
ReplyDeleteP.S. At this point, my grocery store memory is so pathetic that my wife won't even let me do the food shopping anymore. (Heh heh. Mission accomplished.)
Love that clip-it's well known in my family, as is the Alligator King mentioned by Michaela.
ReplyDeleteI hope you dressed for the weather on your pumpkin lugging trip.
Captain? You've got "random" on lock, baby. Total awesome randomness.
ReplyDeleteBy far the best Random Tuesday post today!
ReplyDeleteHow can you not like Spongebob? I might have to disown you a bit.
ReplyDeletethe pumpkin patch sounds like magic...lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could remember the lists better if you just memorize what could be made with the ingredients. This time, think - milkwiches.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's pretty random. He looks good with the sabre, though. I sense a movie mashup in the works.
ReplyDeleteAh, the 70's. Good times.
ReplyDeleteAnd it doesn't get any better than Lightsaber Bond. Awesome!
Truth: Roger Moore is my favorite Bond.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I've just been shopping and my Wife and Daughter were absolutely no help at all.
ReplyDeleteThe title of this is great. Had me flashbacking to "Make the first place you passed, the last"
ReplyDeleteAnotHer Tuesday oF RanDom AwesoMeness!!
ReplyDeleteRandom capitalizations to go with the post.
I'm glad you survived the pumpkin patch - that sounded pretty sketchy.
Roger Moore always did have a large lightsaber.
ReplyDeleteIt is because of things like sesame street, we can't remember anything ... our brains are full of useless things...
ReplyDeleteSpongebob is the 4th horseman of the apocalypse. I'm just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteLove 007 with a light saber, you can't get more random than that.
I bet that shot that got Roger Octopussy.
ReplyDeleteUm, you've got randomness down perfectly.
ReplyDeleteyou bring true randomness to us all....I can only dream of being so damn random. I am going ot have to stop trying so hard....buttah...I need me some buttah...thanks for the reminder
ReplyDeleteHi Captain, me again. Im sending you a Utube link which u will love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIRQf0S3oD0
ReplyDeleteIf it doesnt load, look under "star wars hammer time"
xxxooo
Much like your not remembering a grocery list, my husband has a rule that I can not give him more than one thing to carry at a time. I've tested this theory with disastrous results!
ReplyDeleteDid YOU get to see afterbirth hanging out of a cow's vagina? Then I win for the Pumpkin Patch Contest story.
ReplyDeletehands down.
I remember that Sesame Street video like it was yesterday! Thanks for the sweet reminder.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that clip of Sesame Street! But now a days, I just text the list over to Almost Hubby... at this point he knows the brands, so it takes all the "fun" out of phone tag. -J
ReplyDeleteI remember those trips to the pumpkin patch. fun times!
ReplyDeleteMy dad adores Bond. This picture will make him stumble.. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I was wondering where that came from! It is always in my head pushing out my real list whilst at the store!
ReplyDeleteSpongeBob as a mop. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHA! I remember that video! Sent my husband to the store once to get strawberries and beef. He came back with $30 worth of strawberries and $100 worth of Kobe beef.
ReplyDeleteOh jeez... I haven't seen that Sesame Street bit in 25 years! Thanks for making me feel old!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I know the pumpkin patch was a nightmare lol & Roger Moore carrying a light saber? That just rocks.
ReplyDeleteCheers to the 70s Sesame Street generation.
ReplyDeleteNot only does Roger Moore have a light saber, it also looks like he has a spray tan. Pretty progressive for back in the day.
ReplyDeleteRandom enough for me. I still think you are the king of random. Roger Moore with a light saber just makes too much sense to not happen. I'm going to talk to some people about this.
ReplyDeleteI cannot go to the store to get more than two items without coming home with everything else BUT those two items. And when I read "buttah" I hear Wolowitz's mother from The Big Bang Theory.
ReplyDeleteThese are the questions that perplex us all. Only you are brave enough to ask them.
ReplyDeleteBoy that was pretty random. But I take issue with you disparaging my Sponge Bob. That boy rocks it. Especially when he's using "Sentence Enhancers." Boy after my own heart, pineapple juice or no.
ReplyDeleteI remember that list too! High five! And great randomness-ness!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just *love* her. What a great walk! I'm totally walking to work like that today. Chanting, naturally, "a loaf of bread . . . "
ReplyDeleteEllie
Today is pumpkin patch day at Chick's school. I wisely sent her father to go with her.
ReplyDeleteRoger Moore with a light saber- simply awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe List is entrenched in long-term storage so deeply that I fear, in my future dementia (the one I'm bound to have; such is my luck), The List will be one of the last things I'm still able to mutter. And no one, no one is the whole nursing home will understand. Promise you'll visit.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that Sesame Street clip. I've never forgotten that one either.
ReplyDeleteAnd Roger Moore with light-saber? Brilliant.
Oh wow. I haven't seen that clip in FOREVER!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if my mother would have sent me to the store at that age, even if it was down the block. And I am guessing no way in hell... :)
Damn, I guess I'll have to return the Sponge
ReplyDeleteBob Jammie I got you for Christmas!
I remember that Sesame Street list to and I loved the Alligator Song, it kept you guys
quiet for a brief moment.
Hope Liam got the biggest, baddest pumpkin!
Annonymous Mom who can't remember her password.
No love for SpongeBob? Patrick and Squidward are my favorite. Though I'm partial to Plankton as well. Okay, I adore all of Bikini Bottom. There, I said it.
ReplyDeleteThis was my FAVORITE random post yet!
ReplyDeleteI think it was the Roger Moore thing.
More random is if you asked Roger Moore to dance to that Krishna influenced ballad and jig mix.
