Today is Monday.
People don’t like Mondays.
They think they are icky.
So I have for you something to nix the ick.
A little party trick to pull out poolside, in the office, at the campsite, bar mitzvah or BBQ.
Author’s Note: Other life skills I know include “pull my finger”, “crazy glue – wayyyy faster than stitches” and “smell this”.
I have done that on more than one occasion, however you get much better results from your exploding water bottle than I ever have. Kudos
Hi Karen,
I don’t seem to be getting your blog anymore. It’s been a few weeks… I miss it! See what you can do. Ta.
Hi Audrey – Sometimes Feedburner randomly deletes people. Try just signing up again. ~ karen!
Oh, boy! Wait until the kids see this one. I can imagine we’ll have a problem once they figure out how to shoot them at one another but I’ll worry about that later. Wooo Hoooo!
I’m totally trying this tomorrow! I have a bunch of empty water bottles!
I am totally doing that on the next float trip we go on….. we being my coworkers and I.
HAHA..Just got my son to fix my sound so I could hear this..Love it..you are so cute!! Now I need to go watch your TV show!!!
I wouldn’t be able to do it. I can’t even open a Pillsbury dough thingy like a normal person because the anticipation of the pop is too much for me! Kind of like waiting next to the toaster.
Another fun video. Karen, thank you! By the way…Your comment about “we” meaning you the chickens sparked a little memory from my childhood. When my dad was traveling for business, and it was just my mother and I for the evening, she would always say, “It’s just us chickens tonight.”
I saw someone do the super glue trick on a paper cut and they said it takes the pain out right away. I get paper cuts a lot so think this is a great tip if it really works. But since I read this on internet, it must be true, right? (Your lawyers probably say don’t tell me or us.) Can’t wait to show my grandsons this new trick. My daughter-in-law is still not happy that I taught them to burp the alphabet so I can give her something else to love about me. Oh, and WD40 sprayed on insect stings removes the pain also!
Love it – what a perfect post for a Monday morning.
The video is hilarious. And the chicken coop and gate are totally awesome. And your hair looks really cool. And that’s all I have to say.
Karen, I couldn’t help admiring your chicken coop area. I live in a neighborhood and would love to have chickens. I’m wondering how many you have and approximately how many square feet of space your chicken area is. By the way, as I was watching your video, my teenage boys came and sat down to enjoy it with me. Usually they are not at all interested in what I’m doing on the computer!
It is all “fun” until someone loses an eye:-)
Our grandson dudes are gonna love this. We will refer their parents to YOU!
i think our fells are brothers from a different mother cuz my guy taught me all the same things as well as a pretty amazing figure four leg lock cuz we all know that wrestling is real..right?
OMG! You are soooo funny!
LOVE IT! I’ll use for summer camp next year and then measure distances!
Tomorrows post: How to remove chicken poop from your new favorite white top.
It must be so handy to constantly be one’s own source for new blogging ideas (with the occasional prodding, um, inspiration, I mean, from the fella, ; ) lucky girl.)
I love how you can maintain your deadpan delivery when you intend to be funny, but then when things go awry your jaw drops. That’s my kind of humor.
And your new haircut looks nice, too.
thank you! you crack me up!
You choked the poo right out of that chicken! And that, made my whole morning. How twisted is that?
Wondering how long it took for you decide that this is what you were doing for Monday!And this is why I am addicted!*gives her head a shake*
BTW chicken coop doors turned out fab!

Thanks Dawna. Yep. They’re working out well for me. ~ karen!
Now I know why the vendors remove the cap (and keep it!) when I buy water at concerts!
My family is no doubt disturbed that I now have a follow-up to my Diet Coke & Mentos demonstration at our next reunion. But I’m elated.
Ooooo, woman, you gonna get some backlash on that! Now, me… I find it hilarious and entertaining. But I picture an awful lot of “normal” people will find it outrageously dangerous. Come on! There are worse things than losing an eye! Have fun, Pirate!
OMG Karen, that was hilarious! Seeing this on Monday morning before my coffee has kicked in made me laugh! You definitely ROCK in the FUN department! Wish you were my neighbor! :-) Val
Hi Karen,
did we join you getting angry???
hahaha
Yep…another catchy title! Can’t wait for a video of “Pull my Finger!”
You are a little bit of an odd duck now aren’t you? But I find you incredibly amusing!!!
Love the chicken shit…. and when I do this for the next kids party…. I am so saying it was your idea, I’ll just send Mom’s to this video. Sound good?
You crack me up. And by the way, your Chicken Curry Salad was fabulous! The Mister even extolled the awesomeness of it. Thanks for making me look like a kitchen rock star!
Nooo problem. I love it too. I’ve taken to just eating it right out of the bowl. No lettuce. No toast. Just a bowl, LOL. ~ karen
Hahaha – that was great. Love the outtakes.
