Relax: Ask Humor Boy

Questions for Mr. Boy

1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind?

I enjoy a good nap with my cats, except Kelp insists we go to a motel and Morty meows incessantly for me to insert quarters into the Magic Paws. We used to go to full-service hotels, until I was creamed by room service.

As for unwinding? I pirouette a lot.

2. What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands?

I work at home, so, at that moment, I'm stepping into the living room, foraging for food and the TiVo remote and the look of love.

The last time I got home from school was decades ago, so I guess I got a life.

When I get home from errands, I open the refrigerator to see what I forgot to buy.

3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells?

Most anything without cat box.

4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself?

Do both involve pudding? Will there be dancing? What am I wearing?

5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don't?

Giving me free, three-hour massages -- and writing me generous contribution checks to ensure my financial security and McFlurry fetish.



Bachelor in Paradise
Thursday, September 26 :: 9:02 a.m. :: link

:: I televisioned into ABC last night for the special announcement, checking to see if I am the new "The Bachelor."

I'm not.

Oh, well, I suppose that'll be welcomed news on my wife's side of the sheets.

Knowing her, she'd probably have something to say if I started dating.

It's been made abundantly clear to me there's one thing she will not tolerate: tsunamis in the waterbed.

Especially from tourists. She does love her sleep.

Our waterbed, frankly, has been a disappointment. Only when I'm home alone do I get to pull out my surfboard.

I like to grab a big wave and hang ten right into the wall. That always leads to good napping.

I think I scared the lass on our honeymoon when I wiggled my flippers and snap-on dorsal fin at her and dived in.

(That's also when she spawned my nickname, "Belly-Flop.")

Let's just say she's not a fan of bed swells. To calm me down, she had my snorkel neutered.

And it was a fancy one with a ball valve.



Top 10 Surprises at an Olivia Newton-John Concert

Tuesday, September 24 :: 10:12 p.m. :: link

:: 10. "Grease"d $49 a ticket.

9. Amphitheater replaced deadly mosquitoes with West Nile dingoes.

8. Intoxicated teenage koalas puking in aisle.

7. Olivia still sunny. Baby Boomer crowd foggy with occasional showers.

6. She ages gracefully with updated lyrics: "Hopelessly Devoted to Youth," "Let's Get a Physical," and "Have You Never Gummed Jell-O."

5. "Dolphin Song" nowhere to be heard. Souvenir prices slashed for Blowout Blowholes.

4. Olivia refers to kisses from John Travolta as "throw another Barbarino on the shrimp."

3. By second tune, homeless village constructed in mosh pit.

2. The irony in my rendition of "You're the One That I Want, Oo! Oo! Oo!" at the urinal.

Followed by a standing ovation.

And the number one surprise at the Olivia Newton-John concert:

Only took three minutes, nine seconds to spot the black guy in the audience.



Top 10 Excuses Why I, Humor Boy, Took Four Months to Write a New Blog Entry

Monday, September 23 :: 5:00 a.m. :: link

:: 10. Too funny in May. Gave competition chance to catch up.

9. Although doctor cautioned me, "Use it or lose it," smart-ass showed no signs of atrophy.

8. Couldn't find Blog under deluge of pop-up windows.

7. Worried sick about Ben Affleck's rug.

6. Booked discount cruise on garbage barge, S.S. Titanic II. Knocked overboard by errant iceberg lettuce.

5. Osama Bin Laden hiding out in Blog for summer.

4. Spent August coaching wife through "American Midol" competition.

3. Researched top secret Science Fair project: "Bounty Towel Challenge vs. Savion Glover's Sweat Spews."

2. Why bother? Until Rosie O'Donnell quit her magazine, I could never reign as publishing world's Chubbiest, Theoretically-Comical, Loudmouthed Lesbian.

And the number one excuse why I, Humor Boy, took four months to write a new Blog entry: 

Even I wasn't reading the damn thing.
