Hmmm. A memoir. Is that like an armoire, only smaller? Or bigger, as the case might be? So… after giving this much thought (really: ten minutes worth, at least) I came up with a few options. First:
Bikes. Broads . Beer. That was IT!
But that makes me sound like some sort of n’eer-do-well “Wild One” type. Which isn’t entirely true. Close, but not entirely true. A variation on that theme occurred to me:
Wine. Women. Song. Other stuff, too.
Nah. What about:
There and Back Again. Many Times.
Nah, again. I think Tolkien owns the copyright, anyway. So… there’s this:
A Life In Shades o’ Blue.
That’s getting closer! USAF blue, EDS blue (It’s a color. Really. I had a swatch pinned to my cube wall, once upon a time.), Da Blooze, and too MUCH blue in later life. But I think it's waaay too...ummm... cute. So, we finally came upon this:
Celebrating 60 Years of Absolute Mediocrity!
Hey! Does that work, or what? But I think it’s too self-deprecating. So… the winner is…
Bikes. Broads . Beer. That was IT!
Never second-guess inspiration.
Now for the five tag-ees…
Feel free to play along, even if I didn’t tag ya! You know you want to...
Nice job, Buck. I kinda dug the "Shades of blue" one, actually :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked the shades of blue one as well. Our plant-well, the machines at least--are painted "A-Coil Blue". It's a real color. Honest.

ReplyDeleteHere's mine, don't think I'll blog it though: Doing things I never thought possible.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You'll understand how that works on all kinds of levels.
I kind of like the mediocrity one - sounds like my life.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jim. Interesting what ya can come up with in ten minutes, eh? ;-)
ReplyDeleteBecky: I believe ya about "A-Coil Blue." What's an A-Coil?
Barry: Well done, Sir!
Laurie: I DO understand, and ya knew I would... The road to happiness has some strange quirks and bends in it, doesn't it!?!
Lou: The "mediocrity" one nearly won. Seriously.
two days...TWO DAYS i've been considering this one!
ReplyDeleteAn A-Coil is the style of evaporator coils we make where I work. They are called that because they roughly resemble a capital A.
ReplyDeleteAnswer coming Buck. You may want to check your code on the post--all the folks you tagged seem to be wrapped in one anchor pointing to Phlegmmy. :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Thanks for the answer, Becky.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out the link errors, Doc. Fixed.
You're on vacation, Jay! Get to this when ya get back home!
Answer posted. And I see that Barry's answer is already up as a comment. I never claimed to have a lot of friends, just some really good ones. :-)
