What’s really, really funny is to walk around saying ‘weenis‘ all the time. Just ask my kids. They come up to me and pinch my elbows and say, ‘Oh, sorry. Did I hurt your weenis?’ and then laugh and laugh. And laugh. And then they do it to each other and laugh some more. Not only do I not find it funny, I think the word ‘weenis’ should die a quick death. It’s a dumb word. Who invented it? I’d like a few minutes of their time. Creating a word that sounds like another word, that happens to be what we in these parts call a Potty Word, is just dumb. I’m living in a sitcom laugh track over here. Come on!
I have Blogher on the brain. I’m a little nervous about my panel but since I’m doing it with such great women, I’m mostly ok with that. But, in an insane moment, Alpha Mom asked me to do interviews with some pretty choice women. These are FILMED interviews. And I’m nervous because, dude, I am not used to being on the other side of the camera. All I can say is that it’s a darn good thing there is a makeup artist there to help me when I have something on my chin that looks like cheese doodle. So, if you’re going to Blogher, I’ll be the one that is going up and down the elevator every fifteen minutes before, after, and in between the workshops trying to fit in time to speak with all of my internet rockstar idols. I can’t wait to meet them all and I hope they don’t think I am too much of a dork. Unless they like dork. And then, my friends, they will be blown away and fall in love with me.
Here is a list of all the wonderful women I get to interview in no particular order besides the order that I had them written down in Notepad:
Marrit, Yvonne, Amy, Tracey, Tracey, Alice, Angela, Eden, Kim, Jen,
Grace -n- Molly, Andrea, and Catherine. And probably Heather, if I can get her to put down the martini and sober her up with some coffee. Or, I could just film her while she’s sleeping.
There are some other women that I can’t wait to have a drink with and do their hair and nails and if you are going, this probably includes you. I’m driving up Wednesday. Anyone else around that early?
Weenis. Weenis. Weenis. Admit it, it IS kind of funny. No?
One of the funniest things on “Friends” was at Chandler’s job, where he had to produce a Weekly Estimated Net Use of Services….the WENUS report…and at one point he was shouting to someone on the phone “I know you don’t care about the WENUS, but I care about the WENUS.”
Ah, I am a 12-year-old boy at heart.
I admit, I think Weenis is funny too. Weenis, weenis, weenis!
Weenis. Come on. It’s classic. Now, asshat – that’s a dumb word.
I arrive Thursday morning – early enough to hang around looking anxious and desperate, but too early to start drinking.
dude, asshat RULES as a word.
can’t wait to meetchu, lady.
Love the word! I am an English teacher and love language. This one made my day!
Wow! Never knew of the name for that area of the body. I don’t like it and I demand that someone create a knew name for it. Put that on the agenda at Blogher, how about it?
Have fun, sounds like a lot of cool women are gonna be there, and that INCLUDES YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see you! I’ll be around for the cocktails Friday night, thereafter rooming with Helen Jane and Ariel in The Cool Room, aka, the one with all the wine in tiny boxes.
But… can I jump on your weenis????
Suebob, i totally thought of the Friends reference too. I miss Chandler. *sob*
the WENUS was good.
and we love you now LEAH!
Oh, I am so sad that I’m not going. I was planning on it but will be in Chicago with my family. So very sad. But I fully intent to be there next year. Please go next year to Leah!
heee…weenis…snicker.
Weenis? Where are such words found? I need a dictionary of uncommon words, like weenis.
And I admit it: I giggled when I read it.
I’m not there until Friday, but I can’t wait to touch your Weenis. I’m excited and nervous and I’m not even doing anything scary!
See you there Babycakes!
I’m arriving Thursday night… but staying at the motel across the street. I’m planning on heading to the Hyatt bar for a soda pop. Yeah, right… and to meet up with someone named TOY who is supposed to give me the low down on what I volunteered for exactly (I’m part of the Audio Team to record all the wonderful things LEAH says, or something like that)
and BTW I love weenis too. Although as a writer, I feel like some part of the word elbow should be in there…. aside from the ‘w’
No fair! I’m jealous. I really miss interviewing people on camera. It is fabulous, you will love it. There is some kind of magic that happens in a live interview. You tend to have people cornered at their most vulnerable place, (they are nervous too, remember) and so when you come in and love them to death, help them relax, and give them every opportunity to shine, they absolutely adore you. And you will be great at that. If you ever want me to share my super-secret, confidential tips on interviewing – well, I don’t really have any – but I can share my not-so-secret tips with you.
my friends’ dogs’ name is Weenis. seriously.
