Song Lyrics I Have Misunderstood
- Let The Sun Shine In: Proper lyrics “Smilers never lose and frowners never win”
What I heard: “Mothers never lose and fathers never win.” - Bringing in the Sheaves: Proper lyrics “Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, we shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves.”
What I heard: “Bringing in the sheep, bringing in the sheep…” - If You’re Gonna Play in Texas: Proper lyrics “When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled ‘Cotton Eyed Joe!’ ”
What I heard: “When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled ‘Hot Nacho!’ “ - Checkers commercial: “Get your feast on, feast on.”
What I heard: “Get your keystone, keystone.”
Reasons I Switched from IE to Chrome Last Week
- Got tired of IE taking forever and ever to load
- IE crashed every time I tried to load Facebook Scrabble
- That stupid yellow bar that popped up constantly
- When I asked on FB for advice about how to stop IE from crashing, the overwhelming comment given was to switch to Chrome
- My son has been telling me to switch for years
- When I finally tried it out of frustration with IE, Chrome loaded about 10x faster.
- It imported all my bookmarks and even my favorites bar
- Google is tracking everything about me anyway, so why not make it easier for them
Things I Never Quite Get To On The Weekend
