No?
Why don't you just kick sand in my face while you're at it??
If you do go there to read my column (do it) do not be alarmed at the title; I am not a child molester.
They don't use the titles I give them, in this case Holiday Road--the song from National Lampoon's Vacation. Did you know it was written and sung by Lindsey Buckingham, from Fleetwood Mac?
Anyway, you can go see for yourself what they called it, I just can't bring myself to type it.
Here is a gratuitous moose for your viewing pleasure:

Don't worry. You're not alone. I'm just as socially awkward when strangers talk to me out of the blue.
ReplyDeleteUghh, I hate it. I'm that awkward with people who aren't strangers too. One day when I grow up, I'm gonna be all smooth and calm and make sense and stuff.
DeleteI sort of like the title. It's kind of challenging and I like a challenge.
ReplyDeleteAlso, sorry about all the people out n about now that it's summer. There's nothing that can ruin a good time more than people.
Wait. You like the title of this post or the one about how I like to spend my alone time with children?
DeleteRe: the people. Yes! Exactly.
I like the ‘Alone’ time shared with kids title.
DeleteIt's confusing yet mysterious. Although, yes, it does have hints of inappropriateness with kids, which is not good.
Well that makes me feel better. Maybe I'll start using that as my personal tagline--confusing yet mysterious. Has a nice ring to it.
DeleteWhoever signed the go-ahead on that title needs to be shot. Nice article though.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I must have made somebody mad. Thanks for reading past it!
DeleteDon't feel bad, I don't know what town I'm in either, and I live here. And I find that teenaged girls are easily dispatched with a growled, "This is your future," preferably while my hair is sticking out in all directions and I'm foaming at the mouth with toothpaste.
ReplyDeleteHa! Now *that* is funny! I'm totally gonna do that.
DeleteLoved the article but whoever came up with that title needs to find a job that doesn't require writing. It does sound creepy and though you may be grouchy sometimes you sure aren't creepy. I think Holiday Road is a much better choice. I was just thinking today how much I admire you for continuing to come up with ideas for the blog. I think it's great that you challenge yourself when you could just be along for the ride.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I should have started the blog sooner, there is no shortage to weird stories on the road, but once we get home...I dunno. I keep wondering how many stories I do about Safeway being out of chicken.
DeleteI should have Grouchy Not Creepy put on a t-shirt. ;)
i don't think the person's who job it is to decide on a title...actually read your story. oh well...he (or she) was probably thinking about going on vacation...
ReplyDeletehappy summer. (hey, we take a camping vacation in august...every year...and the good thing about it is the campgrounds are usually EMPTY...too HOT...and muggy and buggy)
oh yeah...thanks for the moose interlude...cool!
DeleteHappy summer to you too! When I was little, we always went to the Keys and camped in August. Can't imagine that now, but if you live in Florida, that's a sure way to avoid the tourists!!
