The Body of a Poet

Curious convergence of events at the ol' Daly manse lately: Kid Lulu, my 3-year-old daughter, has learned the word "boobies." Boobies this, boobies that. Boobies, boobies, boobies. It cracks her up. I thought it was pretty funny, too, until Lulu said, "Mommy has boobies" and then turned to me and stared at Daddy's not-so-rock-hard pecs. She didn't pull the trigger, but she was thinking it.

So I've started exercising. Walking, playing hoops. I want the word "boobies" to be funny forever. I don't want to be the victim of my daughter's "boobies" assault. Last weekend, I grabbed the trusty iPod and walked the Feather Sound Loop a few times, trying to burn off some lbs. As I've said before, I have strict "No Forwarding" rules regarding my iPod's Shuffle function. The shuffles must be pure, just like God intended. Not all my shuffles were great, but the following one made the walk go so much faster. We'll call it "The Boobies Mix."

My 3 year-old also enjoys the word "boobies" as well, but not quite that much. Long live "boobies!"

It got me thinking of a playlist with your boobies in mind:

"TV Dinners" - ZZ Top
"Sing for Your Supper" - Mamas & Papas
"Cherry Pie" - Warrant
"Howard Johnson's Got His Mojo Working" -NRBQ
"Sweet Thistle Pie" - Cracker
"I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever" - Jimmy Buffett
"Cheese and Onions" - The Rutles
"Hot Dogs and Hamburgers" - Mellencamp
"Whipped Cream" - Herb Alpert
"I Want Candy" - Bow Wow Wow

Breast wishes, my friend!

Daly,
I didn't know you had a twin brother? Which one are you? - on the left or the right.
Aren't mopeds so awesome.

Sounds like the kid walked in while you were watching One Night in Paris (again).

I like something with a little consistancy and a quicker beat when I'm moving ...

Try Mika's new "life in cartoon motion"

Hey Chase: I was wondering how you felt about the new FOW. Bit of a letdown, huh?

Yo Sean,

It does get a little better after a couple listens, and it has one very good song, "New Routine," but really, it doesn't match up.

Saralee had the best assesment, she said, "it sounds like they're bored."

You missed a prime opportunity - if there ever was one - for the Joe Walsh classic "I.L.B.T's!" (I can't spell it out because the site keeps disallowing it. But I hope people know what I mean, considering the blog)
