Have you ever got a song stuck in your head, but you don't...hey look, a balloon!
That was weird. Anyway, I've had this song stuck in my head for the past two days, and it's driving me nuts. It's one of those songs that you'd hear when you're in line at a department store, or waiting at the dentist's office. I don't know what it's called, or who sings it; I don't even know the words. But there's this one part that keeps cycling through my brain, right after the woman sings something that ends with "hold you dear," or "happy dear," the backing vocals say something like, "Smells like egg nog."
I know that can't possibly be right, but I have no idea what they're really saying, and all I hear, over and over again, is "Smells like egg nog." Does anyone think they know what song that is, and more importantly, what they're saying? As far as I know, they really are saying "smells like egg nog." Maybe it's a Christmas song. After all, I was amazed when I found out Prince actually was saying "raspberry beret."
In other news, there's been an influx of people saying "Joey Bag O Donuts" around the office recently. Joe's been saying it for a while now, and as usual, for no apparent reason. But now we're all saying it, because, well, it's fun to say. Joey Bag O Donuts.
Joe labels everything. It's gotten a little better since we got the laptops, but he used to have yellow sticky notes all his monitor. BACK UP YOUR WORK AT 4:30. TABLOID PAPER IS IN TRAY 2. REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE PILLS. In his folder on the server, he's created two sub-directories; • Active Jobs and • In-Active Jobs. As a joke, John T. added a third folder, • Fairly Sluggish Jobs. I think it was two days before Joe even noticed.
Yesterday, John T. added a new folder inside • Fairly Sluggish Jobs called "Bag o' Donuts." John M. decided to take it a step further and add some photos of bags of doughnuts. He searched Yahoo for some pictures, and eventually found this:
"This is perfect! Bud has doughnuts!" He said, reading the name of the image to me.
He snuck into John T.'s office to show him his contribution. A few seconds later, I heard bursts of laughter, much more than that stupid picture should have warranted.
"John," John T. said, "this says 'Buddha's Doughnuts!"
It was, in fact, BuddhasDoughnuts.jpg. Here is an excerpt from the website it comes from (about an expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest):
Our fantastic cook, Buddha made and served the most fantastic doughnuts this lunchtime. Everyone enjoyed them immensely. Buddha has done a remarkable job thus far; we all remain strong because of this fine cook. We are all working together, which is so important for success up here....
Bud has doughnuts. I must have laughed for a solid ten minutes after that. Of course, once the laughing stopped, all I could think about was that egg nog song again.
I didn't get much done yesterday.
UPDATE! I found the song! And it doesn't sound anything like "smells like egg nog!" But I still don't know what they're saying. Listen to As I Lay Me Down yourself and let me know what they're saying in the background! Now I'm leaning more towards "Una gato."
YET ANOTHER UPDATE! Okay, it's September 14, why in the blue hell are so many people viewing this page from last month? What's the deal?
