Monday Mingle

by Telling Dad on October 26, 2009

monmingleThis is actually my first foray into the Monday Mingle arena so it’s as new to me as it may be to you.

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

Jennifer over at Eighty MPH Mom posts the questions and then bloggers answer them vlog-style. I thought it sounded like fun, and I’ll rarely turn down an opportunity to act like a doofus, so I decided to give it a trial run this week.

Hope you enjoy this week’s Monday Mingle as I had fun doing it. Perhaps I’ll try it again next week!

LMAO I just peed myself!!!!! I think you need to do like my husband does and turn the songs into your own words!!! He all too often than not will sing “I’ll be a better Blan (his brother) better off” or other ways. It’s ad lib music style!!!! You’d be perfect at it!!!!!

Greg, that was stinkin’ hillarious! I LOVED the Lenny Kravitz bit and your limerick was perfection. :)

LOL OHhhhh Greg…Your awesome!!!!

Karie October 27, 2009 at 8:48 am

Okay yes, Dennis Miller…RAWKS! He and Bill Maher are my all time fave! Your singing totally was AWESOME!! You have a great voice and I was laughing so hard I started to choke on my coffee…my husband was wondering WTF was wrong with me. Seriously….YOU RAWKED it!! Yes I fail….I did not do a limerick…did you “stalk” and not leave comments? Pshaw. LOL

Love it…as always ! Love your Vlogs, can’t wait for the next one :)

Jennifer October 27, 2009 at 10:08 am

This is exactly what I expected from you – you are hilarious!!! You definitely add a special something to Monday Mingle and I hope you will be back.

I loved the Dennis Miller story, and his girlfriend throwing him over her shoulder…that painted the funniest visual…still laughing. Simon Cowell was great!

Your voice sounds good! My daughter was watching with me and we both just about lost it with “I Kissed a Girl” and Lenny Kravitz. That was awesome. I swear – your poor wife (giggle). How does she get anything done around there? I would be laughing so hard I would never get anything accomplished.

You rocked the limerick!

I do hope you will come back next week too. There are some good questions coming up in the next few weeks (including the one you submitted – great question).

Thanks for mingling Greg!

I wrote a big long comment, but then I must have not hit “submit” or maybe it fell into the black hole of blog hell. Either way, your mingle was rockin’. I am so glad you joined in. And the musical number is perfection!

By the way, thank you for being viral not only virtually but in real world as well. I really appreciate it.

Perfection, now this is what Monday Mingle should be like… not like mine where I’m sitting out on my front stoop smoking a cigarette and pulling answers outta my butt…

You’re fabulous, I’m stoked you joined in on the Monday Mingle fun!!

So glad you joined in the Mingles!! Dennis Miller – what an honor! Small hands, eh? *snicker*

That is a great way to go viral for sure…I didn’t think of it that way. :D

Singing while flipping through the yellow pages? LOL You’re a riot.

Your Limerick was perfecto! I hope you join in next week too :) Was a pleasure mingling with you!

Ahhh! Yes! Man.. I love your singing. Great choices. You may also want to consider the fro as a possible hair do choice.. looks great on you!

Jackie October 27, 2009 at 12:07 pm

OMG! You are too funny! I’m so glad Speedy (Jennifer) got you to do a mingle! Had my seriously LOLing here! I hope you join us next week! Welcome to the minglers!

Teresa October 27, 2009 at 12:16 pm

OMG! I’m so very glad I decided not to put my own piddly version of Monday Mingle up this week. It was to be my inaugural Monday Mingle vlog too. I didn’t participate but most definitely will next week since I’ve got a whole week to prepare. LOL, loved the singing (so glad you chose to blog instead of pursuing a singing career cuz I know I couldn’t afford to buy tickets) and I so totally think your wife must be terrific to “tolerate” you, LOL.

Have a wonderful week, not that you’ll need the urging…

Okay, first let me begin to breathe again! I dang near peed myself laughing so hard… You, Telling Dad, viral or not, crack me up! I so needed that kind of laughter today.
The Singing and Simon Cowell bit – PRICELESS! OMG! Priceless.

I have a question for you? Does your wife laugh as much as we do? Or is it more of a “roll of the eyes -knowing chuckle?”.

Rock on with your singing, minglin self! Hope we’ll see more next week!

Thanks Greg! As I told you on the forum, my 18 month cheered up 100%. He giggled and kicked when you sang the “Ok smarty go to a party” part lol. I had to cover his ears for the S-E-X part though. Haha

Anyway, great stuff!

Telling Dad October 27, 2009 at 1:16 pm

Thank you to everyone for the kind comments! Certainly encourages more doofusness. My wife says the fact that I make her laugh each day is one of the only reasons she hangs around. Humor is marriage security. Well, that and these chiseled abs.

She does roll her yes on a daily basis and usually says things like, “You are such a dork”, or “I don’t know why I bother talking to you”, but I know she loves me dearly.

Creative Junkie October 27, 2009 at 1:19 pm

OMG – that was too funny! Between your singing and your avatars … I’m a little scared.

Oh. My. Goodness. You, my friend, are amazing. I really enjoyed your Monday Mingle, as evidenced by my laughing. I know you probably couldn’t hear it over where you are, but it was definitely there.

“Going viral”…brilliant.

Love, love, love your singing! I think you have a great voice. Should you ever decide to quit blogging and pursue that, I’d be happy to be on your road crew.
The Simon impression was fantastic.

Loved the limerick too! (I know, not a lot did them, I was sad, I was looking forward to those!) It was a perfect way to end your Mingle.

Looking forward to seeing you next week! Thanks for coming to join us!

Maybe YOU have freakishly large hands and Dennis Miller’s are merely average. Didja consider that? hmmm?

VERY funny stuff.

Now I got “I Kissed a girl” in my head

Janis @ SneakPeek October 27, 2009 at 2:16 pm

LOL! I loved the limerick & I am going to show my sister your Simon Cowell impersonation. She is a Paula Abdul look-a-like (for real.) {I could be HOT like her too except, I “choose” not to be.} But back to you. Dude you crack me up every time I am here…which is actually a lot. Your very own stalker!!

Love that 1st cutie pie in you Boogie Wipe banner…he looks awfully familiar to me. Thanks!

Jennifer October 27, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Greg,
Your Monday Mingle was absolutely brilliant. Your golden vocal chords singing Bust A Move, while moving was out done by your limerick. Speedy aka Jennifer is fortunate to have a limerick about her MM. High marks all around and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next Monday. :)

You rock the limerick.

Greg, you are HILARIOUS! You have guts singing like that! I was going to do something like that too but I just don’t have the balls, I’ll admit it.

Fantastic editing too btw. My mingle was so raw – about the only editing I did was to edit out the “talking to” I gave my daughter after she messed with the camera a bunch LOL

I can’t wait to see your next mingles!

Melissa October 28, 2009 at 12:07 am

LOLing big time about the hands!! Great singing too btw, I just adore your glasses ;)

Great Jingle!

Badger Momma October 28, 2009 at 2:09 am

Loved it, Greg!

I want to know how many family members you had just on the other side of your office door wondering what the hell you were doing when you were singing. Or are they used to it. :)

Kayla October 28, 2009 at 3:29 am

Holy Mother of God, that was AMAZING!!
I definitely enjoyed your Songs, Simon Impression, and limerick :D
I am new to MM as well(hopefully I’ll be able to get this week’s video done).
