If I Have Anything To Say About It, Both Ben AND Jerry Will Go To H*ll.

It's only taken me about 30 years to figure out that there are certain foods that just can not occupy the same living space as I do. No, really.  I'm not talking about eating when I'm bored or emotional, I'm talking about the foods that actually call to me from wherever I've hidden them, enticing me like a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles in a room full of hungry Biggest Loser contestants.   And I'll tell you right now, I am NO biggest loser!

There is no power in the universe that can stop me from getting to these foods if they're in the house, which is why everything on this list is banned from sitting in my house for more than a few hours at any one time:


movie theater popcorn


my dad's pralines


and Red Swedish Fish



but now THIS.




and DARNIT I can not stop eating it!

I hope there's a special place reserved somewhere for Ben and Jerry. Somewhere that they will never see ice cream again in it's frozen form.

Spescial apology to The Brain:
Honey, you know that pint that you thought was in the basement freezer, waiting for our next date night?  I'm sorry, ok?  Really sorry.  But seriously - cupcake/ biggest loser....  you know there was nothing I could do, right?

Yeah, I bought this shirt. (from Tamn)




It was like a little trophy for me.

I wore it 2 (TWO) times.

That Was Like, SO 2 Years Ago...

Song lyrics and I have a love/hate relationship.

See, they stick in my head forever. Whether I've got them in there correctly or not is quite irrelevant. I find myself repeating them at the oddest times, like when I'm trying to calm myself, or when I need extra energy at the end of a run, or really for no apparent reason at all.

Sometimes this gets me into trouble. Especially when the lyrics that are stuck in my head are not the actual lyrics of the song.

Once circa 1987 I remember walking through a crowded dance floor with a friend, singing "Do it Like a Lady!" and apparently Aerosmith and I are not exactly attuned, because it took me a long time and a serious bout of humiliation to figure out that those were NOT the actual lyrics.

Even when I remember the real lyrics, they get me into trouble.
"Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir", anyone?

So anyway, today I was singing along with the radio and it occurred to me that once again, I have no idea whether I understand the words to the song, and if I do, what in the world they mean.

So here it is:
What the heck is a "hollow back girl"? And should I be embarrassed if I start singing it randomly?


PS - Googling to answer this question is totally not allowed!
PPS - My daughters say I should mention that the radio station I listen to is squeaky clean, and is running the "clean" version of this song. (The fact that there has to be a clean version of this song should probably be my first clue, right?)
