Christmas Presents

I forgot to tell you all that my secret admirer left me a new present--the best yet! A new Ipod! I was so happy because my old one died! I had a 20 GB White Ipod for about 2 years or so. I think it was considered a 2nd generation Ipod. Anyway, I did not realize that my car charger for the old Ipod was defective and I think the battery is dead. A friend told me that I could sent it off to be replaced, but I never did! It only played audio files---no video! Well, my new 80GB classic Ipod plays video and so much more. My friend Antonia told me about this web site that will convert Youtube video clips into a format that will play on my Ipod. I tried it out and it works perfectly! If you are interested in this product, it is free! It is called Itube. I had never heard of it! I wonder who gave me my new Ipod?

WIGS

I was shocked to learn today that both Mediocre Travis and Ms Bitch wear wigs. The pictures were recently posted on both of their blogs. I posted them below so you can avoid their web sites. I wonder what they look like without the wigs. I did not realize that it has all been a facade!

Merry Christmas from Cher

THE Professional Debut of Ms. Bitch

Ms. Bitch made her professional debut last night. Enjoy her rendition of Loretta Lynn's "To Heck with Ole Santa Claus." I would like to hit him in his ho ho ho!

New Massiel Video Clip!!!!!!

I know you love her...Massiel.....The LA LA LA girl! Here is a new clip I found of her on YOUTUBE! Watch this and I promise you will have a wonderful weekend!

Secret Admirer Update

As you can tell from the blog, I have not told you all about any secret admirer gifts in weeks. Things have been quiet on that front for the past month or so..........until today. Someone sent me flowers!



I blushed when the cute delivery boy from the florist came to my desk and delivered it to me. Noone has ever sent me flowers! I did some research and discovered that it cost at least 60 dollars. Someone must really like me!

After the terrible dates I have endured during the past few months, I had pretty much given up home about being able to kiss someone at Midnight on New Year's Eve. Maybe this admirer is a keeper.

With my luck, it is a joke.....There is this hot new guy that works in the office.....but there is also this new woman in the office as well.

Trinity of Terror United!

I was disappointed to learn that Ms. Bitch is not dead. She has not posted on her blog in almost 10 days. Sadly, Mediocre Travis reports that they have a hot date tonight. The Queen B lives. Oh well....I was wondering if the Trinity had been reduced to a duo.

Conquest (Patti Page vs. the White Stripes)

Sometimes I think I should have lived 50 years ago....I love the music from the 50s and 60s. I also like an excellent reinterpretation of a classic song. Here is a clip of Patty Page singing "Conquest"




Patty's biggest hits were "Tennessee Waltz" and "How Much Is the Doggie in The Window." Her last hit was probably "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte", her interpretation of the theme song from the movie starring Bette Davis and Olivia De Havilland.

Do you like Patty Page's version or the White Stripes better???????

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Mediocre Travis has revealed how he really feels about me and my blog...........he loves it and me! I knew it. Look at the artwork he created on his blog!



He has t-shirts on his artwork that clearly state that he loves Connie and Crusty. I knew under those insults that have been hurled at me for months, there was a sweetie at heart. I have said for months that MT is cute......I am so glad that he is over this phase of hating me and my blog. The change is refreshing....Now if only that Ms. Bitch person could be convinced that my blog is a warm, open place full of love and light! MS B will one day see the truth and realize that she should love me and my blog, too!

This has been a wonderful day! Thank you Mediocre Travis for making my wonderful day even better! You have made my week. All my work has not been in vain!

I bet all of the dancing MT has been doing has made him have a change of heart! Have you all seen Mediocre Travis and his new dance routine? You can watch it by going to this web site: TRAVIS DANCES!!!!

The Butchering of a Christmas Classic: Stevie Nicks attempts to sing Silent Night

I love Stevie Nicks......but I hate---I despise this deplorable rendition of this classic Christmas carol!

Trinity of Terror---THEY DANCE!!!!!

I did not know that one of the TOT was such a great dancer! Click on the link below to see their dance routine!

Ode to Mama Cass

I love Mama Cass...........Without her, the Mama and the Papas would be average at best. I think Mama Cass and Melanie are so underrated. I have commented before that Melanie should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame....people tend to forget about Mama Cass' impact on music! MAMA CASS Elliot rocks! I think Madonna should cover some of these tunes!






LULU and MAMA CASS!!!!! (with Dudley Moore)


NEW WORLD COMING

More Appropriate Theme Songs for the Trinity of Terror

Alcina has posted the "theme song" for the Trinity of Terror. I Believe I Can Fly has little, if anything, to do with the spirit of the Trinity of Terror. I feel that the following songs would be appropriate for the TOT:

1. THe Freaks Come Out at Night.....This song describes who would actually go to a TOT or MMAA meeting.



2. Wig in a Box.....I love this movie---and yet it could describe so many aspects of the TOT. I can see them meeting now at the trailer park, after they put on their makeup and put the wig back on their head. I know at least one of them has to be a "midnight checkout queen."



3. I Hate Myself for Loving You....The TOT can sing this song every day about how they know that they really love M....they really love me....they really love the Connie blog....they really love the Madonna blog!



I will try to think of some other more appropriate theme songs for the TOT real soon!

Paul Lynde

Bye Bye Birdie

I stumbled on this clip from the Ed Sullivan Show.....a scene from BYE BYE BIRDIE from the Original cast...how cool!



Put on A Happy Face-----Dick Van Dyke



Spanish Rose---Chita Rivera---



Kids

Church of the Poison Mind

This must be one of the hymns sung in the Trinity of Terror's new church....Church of the Poison Mind.





I imagine this is the kind of videos that will be shown in the TOT Sunday School.......



Instead of having a sermon, this video will be shown at every service.

Trinity of Truth?

HA HA HA HA HA AH HA HA HA! I just died...busted a gut......almost pooped in my pants when I read this on Alcina's blog.......

The Trinity of Truth?????????? That is a laugh........I have decided that Mediocre Travis has earned the title of AntiChrist in the TOT. I am not sure what Ms B is these days.....

i Still think that the TOT are extremely jealous of M's blog. It gets their goat that people like Andi and the others religiously read M's blog. They don't have fans like M does! The only thing that you need to overcome is your pettiness! Your Arrogance! Your stupidity! Your Aloofnees.....Love needs to engulf your spirit.

I hope you overcome these things real soon......I know that your light will shine so much brighter if you will overcome these things.

The thought of a TOT church sounds real spooky! I suppose their hymns will include Vogue, Papa Don't Preach, Oh Father, and Music. It is hard to fathom what a worship service at the TOT church would be like. I suppose paintings of Madonna (not the Virgin Mary) would be plastered all around.

I am Shocked! I am Disappointed! This is an Outrage!

Sometimes, the Trinity of Terror goes too far. If you are not religious, that is your choice! You have the right to believe in God (or a "Higher Power") or not to believe in God. But this Christmas card takes the cake....Why ruin a wonderful holiday for those who enjoy Christmas? Why poop on traditions that many of us hold dear? Times cannot be too hard for Travis that he has to resort to such an outrageous card! I mean....I know your art may not be selling! I know you cannot afford air conditioning...I know that you have been real naughty these past few months and you are probably on Santa's Naughty list! But come on......why go so low!

Read Mediocre Travis' cards below....and you will see what I mean! That is why he is permanently on my WEB SITES TO AVOID list!














Even though this really upset me,I have to say that I am forgiver. I forgive you Travis. I am one who gets upset and angry for a few minutes....I will get "hot under the collar" and then I let it go.......I forgive you. It sounds like you did not get what you wanted when you were younger for Christmas. Maybe you had a traumatic experience at Sunday School. Let your anger go! Let your anger go and you will become more productive! let it go and your art will flourish! let your anger go....and may peace engulf your spirit.

I know that deep down inside, there is a loving and warm Travis in there who truly wants to enjoy Christmas. I hope that you will let that Travis come out and play during this Christmas season.

Kaballah Curse (or Can't Some People Take A Joke)

Ms. Bitch has now posted on her blog that I am such a terrible person for posting this Kaballah curse to Mediocre Travis on my blog. Can't anyone take a joke? Please......It seems like someone has their panties in a wad! If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen! Don't get close to the fire if you don't want to get burned!

Anyway.....it was a joke! (if you did not realize by now!)

The Soundtrack of Your Life

I am creating a new blog....I hope you check it out and send me the soundtrack of your life!

James Thurber

I have always enjoyed the writings of James Thurber.



I was introduced to Thurber at an early age. My mom had a Columbia Records LP of the cast album of the Broadway show "Thurber's Carnival." I have been hooked ever since. I love Peggy Cass' speaking voice. My mother and grandmother always watched "To Tell the Truth" on TV and I always loved the panelists. I love to watch the old TTTT episodes on the Game Show Network/GSN. They used to show an episode every night on the BLACK AND WHITE OVERNIGHT. Now, you only get to see these classic episodes once a week. GSN is turning out to be like MTV.....These networks are just a shell of their former selves! I cannot stand AMC...American Movie Classics is a horrible channel! Thank goodness for TCM!



Anyway.....Watch Auntie Mame.....Peggy Cass is a riot in that film! She almost steals the show!

In junior high school, one of his short stories was in our literature book. I easily made an A on that test! I found this short story on the following web site: http://english.glendale.cc.ca.us/unicorn1.html


The Unicorn in the Garden

by James Thurber
reprinted from
Fables For Our Time

Once upon a sunny morning a man who sat in a breakfast nook looked up from his scrambled eggs to see a white unicorn with a golden horn quietly cropping the roses in the garden. The man went up to the bedroom where his wife was still asleep and woke her. "There's a unicorn in the garden," he said. "Eating roses." She opened one unfriendly eye and looked at him.

"The unicorn is a mythical beast," she said, and turned her back on him. The man walked slowly downstairs and out into the garden. The unicorn was still there; now he was browsing among the tulips. "Here, unicorn," said the man, and he pulled up a lily and gave it to him. The unicorn ate it gravely. With a high heart, because there was a unicorn in his garden, the man went upstairs and roused his wife again. "The unicorn," he said,"ate a lily." His wife sat up in bed and looked at him coldly. "You are a booby," she said, "and I am going to have you put in the booby-hatch."

The man, who had never liked the words "booby" and "booby-hatch," and who liked them even less on a shining morning when there was a unicorn in the garden, thought for a moment. "We'll see about that," he said. He walked over to the door. "He has a golden horn in the middle of his forehead," he told her. Then he went back to the garden to watch the unicorn; but the unicorn had gone away. The man sat down among the roses and went to sleep.

As soon as the husband had gone out of the house, the wife got up and dressed as fast as she could. She was very excited and there was a gloat in her eye. She telephoned the police and she telephoned a psychiatrist; she told them to hurry to her house and bring a strait-jacket. When the police and the psychiatrist arrived they sat down in chairs and looked at her, with great interest.

"My husband," she said, "saw a unicorn this morning." The police looked at the psychiatrist and the psychiatrist looked at the police. "He told me it ate a lilly," she said. The psychiatrist looked at the police and the police looked at the psychiatrist. "He told me it had a golden horn in the middle of its forehead," she said. At a solemn signal from the psychiatrist, the police leaped from their chairs and seized the wife. They had a hard time subduing her, for she put up a terrific struggle, but they finally subdued her. Just as they got her into the strait-jacket, the husband came back into the house.

"Did you tell your wife you saw a unicorn?" asked the police. "Of course not," said the husband. "The unicorn is a mythical beast." "That's all I wanted to know," said the psychiatrist. "Take her away. I'm sorry, sir, but your wife is as crazy as a jaybird."

So they took her away, cursing and screaming, and shut her up in an institution. The husband lived happily ever after.

Moral: Don't count your boobies until they are hatched.

The Joy of Deleting Spam

I enjoy deleting email.....Today, I took pleasure in deleting an email sent from Ms. Bitch to Madonna's management team. It is especially funny when co-workers help me in counting at least 10-15 grammatical and spelling errors made in said email.


I take delight in the futile attempts of the Trinity of Terror to somehow "sabotage" M's blog. You would think by now they would realize that their efforts are to no avail.

Could it be that M is Madonna?
Could it be that Madonna is paying M to do this blog?
Could it be that Madonna is in on the joke?
Could it be that the blog has Madonna's approval?

Or, better yet, could it be that some people are jealous that the Madonna blog is so much more popular than theirs?

It seems that some blogs are so unimportant that noone attempts to send harm their way. It is only when you are on top when people try to knock you down.

A crumb

I told you all months ago that the identity of M could be found in my poll question. I decided to throw you all a bone and reveal another clue!

You can eliminate four choices on the poll question.

M is not Cher.
M is not one of Madonna's dancers.
M is not a lesbian from London.
M is not a Harley momma.

In addition, I am not M. No picture of M or myself has ever appeared on my blog.

DEATH CURSE?????

Ms. Bitch has spoken mistruths about me once again..........MS B brought up again my post from weeks ago where I place a "death curse" upon Mediocre Travis. I suppose schools in Australia don't teach William Shakespeare anymore, since the curse was taken directly from Macbeth! I even posted a video clip from a movie adaptation of Macbeth where the three witches complete the spell. I guess some people cannot take a joke.

Anyway.....Since Alcina is an American, I know that she read Macbeth in school and understood the humor of my post. If I remember correctly, the entire "spell" is from Act IV of Macbeth.

Kay Starr

Growing up, my mother loved Kay Starr.......She had Kay Starr albums and I remember as a small child playing them on the record player. I found these cool video clips of Kay Starr from the 50s and 60s. Sometimes, I think I was meant to live back then.....I love the music from that era. Alas, I was born in the 70s....Oh well!

WHEEL OF FORTUNE---KAY STARR



Kay's popular Christmas song.......This song is one of my favs! Madonna needs to do a cover of this classic!



An interesting song from some TV movie musical play from the 50's...The Pied Piper of Hamelin. This is "A Mother's Lament"



Kay and Friends sing the CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO

No Regrets

Today, I watched one of the best movies that I have seen in a long, long time. M and I watched "La Vie En Rose," the story of Edith Piaf. The film ends with her rendition of Je ne Regrette Rien (No Regrets). I have a Shirley Bassey CD with her English version of the song, but the French lyrics are so much more powerful. This YouTube video has English subtitles.



I never realized until a year or so ago that Edith originally sang this song in French.......Kay Starr, Brenda Lee, and Patsy Cline all sang English renditions of this song (among other artists) Hymne à l'Amour



L'Accordioniste-----One of Piaf's earliest major hits, a wartime song from 1942 by Michel Emer, himself a soldier about to leave for the front. It's about a prostitute in love with an accordionist who goes to war, doesn't return, and somehow cannot be replaced

Dedicated to the Trinity of Terror

I have decided to make another dedication to the Trinity of Terror. It is obvious that they truly need me and M. Their blogs are now so dull and dreary since they have attempted to not associate with me. The excitement is missing from their blogs. I feel that the theme of their blogs is now boredom. This song

This songs truly describes the feeling that overtake me when I read the blogs of the TOT. They are not so terrorizing any more.


-------------------------------------
You are just being boring!

==========================================================================

I feel that instead of hatred, there should be love...because love will keep us together!

Kids Are People Too

I forgot all about this show.......Here is Patti Smith singing "You Light Up My Life"

I'm Tired

I love Mel Brooks' movies!

Peace on Earth

Phantom of the Opry

WOO WOO!!!! WOO WOO!

Phantom of the Opry

WOO WOO!!!! WOO WOO!

Carol and Dolly?

Carol and Julie at Carnegie Hall---Big D

This is a song from "The Most Happy Fella."




This is a spoof of "The Sound of Music"-----before Julie was in the movie!

Massiel

Our "La La La" girls sings YESTERDAY! This is priceless!

Yet Another Insult/Accusation

Yet again, one of the infamous Trinity of Terror has made an accusation against me.....I am not only M, Mental Madge, Crusty Connie, and Andy.......but now I am someone called Lithargoel!

This comes from Ms. Bitch's web site! http://princesspaul.blogspot.com/
--------------------------------------------------------

Lithargoel, on December 4th, 2007 at 8:41 am Said:
Hey Marco…you like how I told MS Bitch the other day?
She is so annoying in her rantings with only negativity coming out of her mouth


doesnt that sound like connie?/and "M"hmmm???


----------------------------------------------------
I thought that I had an unofficial truce with the Trinity of Terror, but it seems that they are up to their old and tired ways! I am now have a fourth identity?

Here are some of the people who I am not...........

• I am not Madonna.
• I am not Mental Madge.
• I am not Andy.
• I am not Lithargoel.
• I am not Santa Claus.
• I am not Mediocre Travis nor Ms. Bitch (thank god!)
• I am not in need of psychiatric help.
• I am not the person whose picture the TOT posted a few weeks back.
• I am not the author of the Madonna blog!

Funny Haiku

I love this web site---HAIKU CIRCUS! You have to go check it out!

http://www.haikucircus.com/

Here are some more funny haiku (what is the plural of haiku? haikae? haikus? anyone know?)

I Like Taco Bell.

It gives me real smelly farts

and burning poos, too!

Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeared.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Your file was so big.

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

Windows XP crashed.

I am the Blue Screen of Death.

No one hears your screams.

A mourning dove feeds

In a marijuana bush

And sings a high coo

Haikus are easy

but sometimes they don’t make sense

Refrigerator

Who is "Andy"

It seems like I am once again being accused of being something or someone I am not. I am not Andy, M's #1 fan on the madonna blog. My sources have informed me that Andy is not an invention; he is authentic! He is unique. He is not fake.

I think it is great that Andy is such a huge fan of the Madonna blog. What is wrong with that? The madonna blog is wonderful.....one of the best blogs on the Internet. I could only dream to have its audience and ranking on the blog sites. The traffic that blog has is unreal. I imagine that the Trinity of Terror's combined web traffic might be 1/20 of the madonna blog. It is that popular.

I wish I could write the stuff that is on that blog. It must be so cool to be Madonna! M is awesome!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I came across this today...........and it has inspired me!

Prayer for Peace

Lord,

Make me an instrument of your peace,

Where there is hatred,

Let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine, Master,
Grant that I may seek
Not so much to be consoled,
As to console;
To be understood,
As to understand:
To be loved,
As to love;
For it is in giving
That we receive;
It is in pardoning
That we are pardoned;
It is in dying
That we are born to eternal life.

It does not matter if you are religious or not, these are words to live by. If everyone would follow 50% of these words by Francis of Assisi, the world would truly be a better place.

That is why I have created this blog. There are so many people who are in the dark about things. I feel that I have an obligation to enlight them. Some people and some sites are so sad. My blog is the only place where some can find joy! I love you all....even those who despise and ridicule you. I forgive you.

If you need ideas for side dishes and dips for your holiday meals, go to this web site:..http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_pa/text/0,1976,FOOD_10234_25624,00.html..

I love Paula Deen.....but she has one recipe that I would be afraid to try! I love sushi, but I don't like that green wasabi stuff they give you with your sushi! She has a wasabi dip!

1 tablespoon wasabi powder (can be found in most grocery stores)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt

Reconstitute wasabi powder with 1 tablespoon of water to form a paste and set aside. Whip cream with a mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in the wasabi paste and lemon juice; salt, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Yawn!

I have been out of town since last Wednesday...so I have taken a vacation from blogging for a few days. I know that you have missed me, but I am back!

Some people really need to take a vacation from blogging. Some of the posts on the Trinity of Terror sites have been so boring! Alcina always has some interesting tidbits, but when dying your hair is the highlight of your day, I feel that you need to just choose not to write a post on that day!

I flew to San Antonio this past weekend to watch the Big 12 Championship football game. Some friends had a luxury suite rented and invited me to come watch the game. I had never been to San Antonio, so I decided to go. I love football.....though I could have cared less about whether Oklahoma or Missouri won the game. I had a lot of fun on the Riverwalk there...too much fun....but I will not kiss and tell. It funny what some married friends will do when they are semi-drunk and not around their wives.....but that is another tale to tell!

The Riverwalk was decorated with lots of Christmas lights and luminaries/candles. I had never been to the Alamo before,so I visited this historic site. San Antonio was OK, but I doubt I will go back for some time.

I love sports......especially football! For my Australian readers, I love to watch Australian rules football, too. I am not sure why, but I think it is so funny how the referee makes this wierd motion with his hand when someone has scored in the AFL.
