Hump Day Humor: Julie Andrews

{ March 26th, 2008 }

Today’s laugh comes to us from the 1967 film Thoroughly Modern Millie. In the following clip we find our country bumpkin (Julie Andrews) plopped into the big city of New York. Faced with the fact that she is in the dreaded state of not being like everybody else *gasp* this opening number depicts to what extremes we will go to fit in. If you only know Julie Andrews as the nun from The Sound of Musicyou may find this clip a little risque. The really funny part comes near the end.

That clip is the Bee’s Knees. Sometimes I think the things that modern men and women do to make themselves to look “normal” is similarly stupid. As an example, I’m absolutely sick of effeminate men. Retrosexual ’til the day I die - word up. Now if only the hair on my head was curly I could transplant it onto my back and really look sexy. You know it! Then I could go to public pools and show of my back of love, clogging up the pools drains and proving my manliness to the world. My wife is drooling as we speak …

Are you Sodom and Gomorrah-able? Have you ever done anything Sodom and Gomorrah-able? Is that just nonsense that rhymes with adorable? Help!

P.S. In case mentioning Thoroughly Modern Millie is hurting my retrosexual cred you got to understand that I was doing push-ups while talking to the Most Interesting Man in the World on my bluetooth when my wife walks in and says I need to see something. I enjoy listening to my wife and trust her when she says I need to see something. She was right.

I’m On Vacation!

I haven’t been posting at my normal clip this week because I have either been getting ready for a small vacation or have been on a small vacation to visit my wife’s family. They live on the opposite coast so we don’t really get out to see them that much, but when we do ...

The Job Dilemma - The Resolution

It has been about three weeks since my wife talked to her boss about cutting back her hours so that she can focus on other things. Our fears about how the boss would react were groundless - everything turned out splendidly. My wife’s boss recognized my wife’s wishes without any fireworks and an ...

Net Worth for July 2008 - A Long Time Coming

I have finally updated my family’s net worth and I am pretty pleased with the results. Since last I checked at the beginning of June my family’s total value has grown by $940 or 3.54%. June was a relatively slow month, bringing in only $341, a 1.28% growth, The big mover definitely ...

I’ve Been Married For a Year

Yeah, that’s me. In Afghanistan and Pakistan men take really cool photos like these and they are considered manly. Since I am a manly man and I like to bow to all sorts of cultural norms foreign to my native country, I decided that while I was out celebrating my ...

I Want Gold!

Well, that’s not exactly true - it just sounds funny in a dutch accent with the vowel drawn out like William Wallace’s insides. I just want to be a good Steward, you know, the kind that would make mom proud. I don’t want my family to have to worry about money or ...
