Shenanigans

I am back. I had nothing to say yesterday, or at least something that I could say without causing a shitstorm to rain down upon me. I may still hit on all that later, damn the consequences, the truth must be heard. But not today.

I was hit a couple of times, yesterday and today, with another word that makes me giggle. I have heard the word used too much in too many different contexts and settings that I think there is some sort of synchronicity thing involved. Synchronicity is a term that Karl Jung, a sop for all you Jungians out there (LOL! An inside joke for those of you who are lucky/unlucky enough to reside in the deep recesses of my insane brain). It really is the sense that certain ideas or events that seemingly random and coincidental are connected in some way. Anyway, in the world of synchronicity the word "shenanigans" keep creeping into my world.

The word just makes me giggle, like diddling or even fiddling. Say it, "shenanigans". It actually is fun to say. I cannot say that I would ever use the word, but I keep hearing it or reading it, so there must be something to it. Because I say so, is why (I anticipated that question). The word is just funny, to say and use. That is all for that.

Another observation occurred to me. I was working out on Friday and I had just changed and was headed to the weight room from the locker room when I saw a guy, naked except for the pair of sweat socks he wore on his feet (it was not a Red Hot Chili Peppers thing). I was struck by that sight. I think the male body is purely utilitarian, like a Jeep. Put a naked man in nothing but a pair of socks and it is the funniest thing because it so damn ugly to see (especially this guy). It is funnier still when it is naked but for black dress socks. It does not matter the age of the male, either. My eight year old son could be naked with socks and it still just as funny in an ugly and "wrong" (aesthetically speaking, of course) sort of way. This is why I will endeavor to NEVER be seen naked except for socks, on my feet.

I am not sure if socks on the hands is a problem. Now, if this guy was wearing a hat, not a baseball cap, then I think it would have been a good look, but he would have to keep the hat on. That would not be polite if he were indoors and who wants a naked guy in socks and a hat outdoors. Not me!!! A naked lady, I can certainly live with more easily.

I may try to hit upon Paula Abdul, her "bad" manicure and the involvement of legislatures tomorrow, but suffice to say there may be something said about Corey Clark. Have a good one and ciao.
