Monday Mingle

by Telling Dad on November 2, 2009

monmingleWahoo! I made it to week TWO! I appreciate all of the wonderful comments on last week’s installment but let’s hope the second round isn’t a disappointment.

For those unaware, Monday Mingle is a weekly video blog where a series of questions, topics or ideas are answered and discussed by participating bloggers.

Jennifer over at Eighty MPH Mom posts the questions and then bloggers answer them vlog-style. I enjoyed last week’s Mingle so I decided to give it another go.

This week’s questions centered around jokes, dancing, age, school, and what we dressed up as for Halloween.

My original plan for Halloween was to go as “Bam-Bamstein” because I could totally rock the Bedrock Yamaka (properly spelled “Yarmulke”). This costume alone almost makes me want to convert. Could you imagine the festivities if I showed up for Temple wearing these digs? Every day would be like Hanukkah.

babbam

But alas, I chose a different costume and it’s all revealed in the video below. Hope you enjoy this week’s Monday Mingle and I’ll see everyone again next week!

BIG thanks to YouTube for choosing this killer screenshot!

oil those joints! jump! jump! jump!

Greg so tell me, what software do you use for video editing?

A sugar tax. Great idea! I think I’ll have to consider that when

LOL! Oh that first joke. Man… I love the second joke.

Oh how did I know you were going to do something Brady Bunch LOL hilarious.

LOL jive turkey. That’s a great costume. Costumes do make dancing okay, because people don’t know if you’re dancing in character or really dancing like yourself. Ooh deep.

You can’t fail art, that is so true…I did like French. But our teacher let us pick our own names.

Have a great week! Nice mingling with you again!

I knew The Brady Bunch 2nd season was 1970 – which would have put you at either 38 or 39. Still a youngun’. ;)

Did you do the wing jive as the Jive Turkey? I didn’t know turkeys got down and boogied!!!

And art classes? Don’t stick your tongue to the kiln as a dare!!!

Your wife must be in danger of busting a gut every day with laughing so hard.

LMAO- you did not let me down one bit. My daughter and I giggled like little school girls. Oh wait – she is a school girl! I waited all day for your mingle and jumped for joy when I saw it linked.

Loved the costume – very, very clever. The moves you did IN that jive turkey costume were awesome.

Oh I am a Brady Bunch kid – but I guessed 1978? I can’t remember the dates (old age). That was too funny – you as Mike Brady! So clever you are!

I cannot wait to see your Mingle next week – that should be a good one!

Thanks for mingling again!

Yay! We love Telling Dad mingles!

Like the British….ha. ;)

Loved both your jokes, lol. You have great delivery.

Clever guessing game for your age! I didn’t know exactly when the Brady’s hit the scene, but I figured sometime in the 70′s. By the way, I think you should try to work that wig into each of your mingles. Cracks me up. :)

LMAO! The turkey…so great. If you couldn’t be the Boogie Man, Jive Turkey was definitely the next best choice. Shake those tail feathers!

This is my “giving back” as you mentioned in the beginning. I’m a giver. :) So glad you mingled again! I look forward to seeing you next week!

As always, fabulous mingle! LOL

That was so funny! I’d too like to know what you use to make your videos, you make it look SO easy!
And…Ummm…I think I was pretty close to failing art class, should I cry discrimination upon my interpretation??
{OK, so it was just a taste of the paint. you got me!}
LOL!

Man, I guessed 1971. I was close. Jive turkey and talking about school had me dying. We had an art teacher in high school that did fail people. It was her way or ti was wrong.

I had your age right on the nose…but only because I’m older than you are and was actually watching The Brady Bunch when you were born. And like many others I want to know what you use to edit your videos.

Loved the Jive Turkey thing……definitely looking forward to next week’s mingle.

Love the seal joke.

Turkey suit was good but the tunes Jump Around were better. You look good with a fro! Yo!

All around a very good Monday Mingle. Keep up the good work!

Mandy November 5, 2009 at 6:35 am

I agree with ^^^… you rock the fro!
Very fun, very well done.

You know, I heard the same joke once, except it was a duck walking into a hardware store asking for grapes. Yours makes more sense though, because when the duck asked “Got any nails?” and the guy said, “No.” I was always like, “Huh? It’s a HARDWARE store.”

Looking forward to next week. :)

Totally unrelated – you look like my uncle. who lives in Texas. And has a twin brother. Maybe you are the long lost triplet. Word up.

Callie @ JamericanSpice November 5, 2009 at 11:40 pm

I’m here! late but here! :) I had so much on my plate last two weeks.

Now I have to rewind you again! It went unplugged :)

Ok that one sucks!

You are 38? Right on. You look great. Tell the wife I said so :) Do you blush?

:)

By the way, your joke didn’t suck. I just do that sometimes. lol and because you said I could and because I wanted to hear the others :)
Love the joke!

OMGM I’m dying! You are good for the soul. Jive turkey!

You totally rocked this! And you MUST come back next week or I’ll hunt you down! :)

au revoir
