Somewhere Down The Lacy River — Funny Typos 18
Funny Typos, Just Good Stuff | Posted by Jannie on 24 August 2010 @ 4:14 PM 46 Comments
1. My favorite part of the waterpark is always the lacy river.
2. Is fertilizer made from pants or is it somehow synthesized from oil?
3. Getting rid of that beat-up old venetian window blond was a good way to go.
4. Thank you SO much for singing our Endometriosis Petition!
[Speaking of singing, look for me doing that here on video, Sept. 6th. One of my new songs!]
[There will also be a give-away post here on Sept 22nd on my blog's 2nd anniversary -- for 5 poetry books, 3 of my "I Need A Man" Cds, and 3 hand-written letters from me on gorgeous stationery with amazingly beautiful stamps!]
5. With art, I say go ahead and put all your eggs in one gasket!
6. I’m impressed how you always jump through hops to post such captivating pix for us!
[And this picture shows hops. I had NO IDEA what hops plants looked like or that they grew so tall -- which is kinda strange, me being a beer lover and all. Did YOU know what hops looked like?]
7. The July 4th firewords went on for well over an hour.
8. I can now post photos up to 790 px wide because I’ve slimed my sidebar down to 150px!
9. Learning to play a new song on guitar AND sing at the same time almost always gets my brian twisted up.
(Of course, he’s EVERYbody’s brian. I mean Brian, an awesome blogging poet and friend to so many!)
10. Well, gotta go now to make a new sidebar button to kink up another fine blog!
P.S. At Funsterment Global Inc.’s annual meeting last week, the Board voted unanimously to start posting these typos when 10 are reached, instead of making the world wait for a full 20.

My Dearest Lynn, so far Funsterment Global has required only paper napkins to jot down our ideas, but if we upgrade YOU will get all our business, I promised. How can I refuse such politeness, as per your post today??

Dearest Brian, that pants thought had not occured to me, but now that you mention it — yah, some certainly could, yikes.
Dearest William, if you have not meandered the lazy river on a hot day, I recommend it very much! With a margarita (or without,) heaven!!
Dearest Jingle. Well, I kinda thought I rocked a little bit, but “SO much”?? Whoo-hoo!!! I now rock SO much — can it get any better than this??
Dearest Paige — yes, indeed. Why wait for 20 when 10 can come in just as handy on the old tummy tickling scale!!

Not sure why, but I couldn’t get into your blog. I knocked politely, I shouted (not too loudly) and when I stamped my feet, it ignored me. I took a walk and came back and it let me in – lol!
I now have visions of fire spewing from mouths – that’s a great typo!
The egg filled gasket is not one I’d want to see blow up – it would leave us with egg on our faces – lol!
Looking forward to hearing the new song.

Oh neat a new song…I will put that on my calendar. Like Talon I had a bit of trouble connecting…I see your ID on my phone, but when I attempted to reconnect I got someone else?
I am quite happy to have typo posts every 10 – they make me laugh a good bit

Hey, those sidebar buttons are tres cool. I need to get some tips from you. I have no idea how to do that.

Hi Jannie! Love those typos! I have so much trouble with brian too, silly brian! That trip down river looks darn refreshing! My daughter just returned from Austin to visit her BF’s parents – said it was 100 or more every day. Geeez, stay in the water!!!!

BB is be cookin up those
karrit souffles, pellet pancakes,
earwax truffles, and cottontail candies!
Gosh, to see a blue Pea
on a blue inner tube
floating cool in her
lacy tiara has made my day;
and of course, seeing
Big Jim trying so hard
to relax is also worth the
price of admission–
which was FREE, of course,
like those Funster Give-a-ways
past/present/and future!
1. Water parks are a must in TX, and most
of them have to be near a river so’s they
have a source for water beyond the
several garden hoses available; but
the Lacy River must be near Lubbock.
2. Still kind of confused as the fertilizer
component before it became “pants”–
was it “parts” or “ants” or what?
Oh wait, ancient moosebreath,
how about “plants”? Bat guano is still
my fave, gathered by hand in the
creaky rafters of Melvin’s barn;
hard to get out of your hair though,
and it tastes nasty.
3. Window Blonds usually come from
Amsterdam; didn’t know one could import
one from Venice. All blonds do wear out
they say; but of course they have never
encountered Jannie Funster
and the prodigy pea.
4. They tell me that I cannot carry a tune
in a bucket. My wife was always embarrassed
with my warbling in church. God didn’t mind
but Melva did. Perhaps singing a petition
would be a more successful endeavor.
(September 22nd cannot come too soon.
Hurrah for Jannie on her upcoming
2nd Anniversary!!!)
5. Unless they are part of the recalled Iowa
eggs–then you should put them in a
TX boot, beat them into toe jam
and feed them to frogs, who have
incredible immune systems.
Salmon Nella is the name of a
prostitute who used to work
the open market in Tacoma.
They hosed her down with lime
the other day, and she melted
right on the spot.
6. Yakima, WA is the hops capital
of the country. Speaking of hopping,
check out the frogs after you
feed them the Iowa eggs; they
leap sideways, and ass over
tea kettle; nothing more disgusting
than drunken frogs; no kisses for them!
7. Somehow when I saw “firewords”
I thought immediately of Fireblossom,
and how much of her poetry is
laden with them; mine too if the
truth be known.
8. You ain’t afraid of no Sidebar!
And the sliming ones are the worst.,
I pour salt on their tails,
and wipe them clean with a cat.
9. Gee, I don’t have a brian
to get twisted, or teased, or challenged.
Was it the scarecrow in
THE WIZARD OF OZ who sang the ditty,
IF I ONLY HAD A BRIAN?
10. Yes, Miss Jannie, we all do hang time
in Funsterville secondary to the extreme
kinkiness that one finds everywhere;
blue rabbits, cute peas, car barns,
loose hammers and extra ladders,
metal bras, bra-flinging competitions,
fuzzy pants catalogs, homemade beer
and ten-day old donuts.

Dearest Secret Agent Woman, whenever I hear the word gasket I immediately think of a head gasket. All those years working at my hubby’s car biz wore off on me.
But I know there are other gaskets, like for plumbing and such.
Dearest Fireblossom, I forgot to mention the FGI board meeting was held down at Denny’s but luckily no succubi incedents. Synchronous that you mention the firewords one — it makes me think of you and smile — all firey and such.
Dearest Talon, shoot. Has my site being doing that much? Maybe it’s time for me to upgrade my hosting. I haven’t checked my stats in months to know if I am getting more traffic. That could warrant a bandwidth boost. Need to google gaskets, to see other kinds than the head gasket. Yes, I’m looking forward to recording the song as soon as my hair gets light and fluffy again!
Yes, Dearest Patricia, September 6th, Labor Day. Labor Day concert?
Shoot on my site. How often do you experience that with my site? Yes, I remember accidentaly hitting your number on my phone, but thought it most likely would not show up on yours, as I hit end call so fast. But I see I DID make contact. But someone ele answered when you called back?? Hmn. That’s just weird. unless Kelly did a little trick. Oh my gosh she was so funny last week. A lady was on the phone about buying a car and I handed the phone to Kelly and said “Take this to your dad.” And she says into the phone on the way to her dad. “Taco-Pizza. How may I take your order?” Luckily… the lady ended up buying the car!!! 
Glad you are good with 10 typos!
Dearest Carla, like how your button turned out. Once I saw those sweet little snowdrops, I knew that would make a pretty badge, and I like the font I used. Okay tips — buy PaintPro. Or you know what?? Maybe a 10-20 tip POST on some tips I’ve learned so far is in order! I think I can do it!!
basically, it’s not hard, and you are smart and artistic so you’ll love it. Actually, ALL my readers are smart and artistic!
Dearest Akelamalu, really, you don’t think that’s the corniest photoshop in the history of the Internet?? You are so sweet, my dear. Thanks again!
Dearest Sheila — but are my typos the “breast??”
Dearest G-Man, I sure hope that doesn’t mean the pix gave you trouble to open? But yes, my pictures ARE Ludicrous Large now. Over the past few months I’ve take my site from 2 sidebars of 200px each, with a body of 500px — to this one sidebar of 150px and these 790px pix. Ludicrous Large. Waay crazy!!
Hello Dearest Snaggle — so you like the lace on her head, eh? I thought it was cute too, reminds me of some type of Swiss Miss,or something.
Alwasys a treat and highlight to read your comments. Did you get a good sleep??? I hope so!! 
Dearest Suzen, for some reason I am singing about you… “Theeeere she is — Miss America!” (Reminds me of your comment here when you thougth the Pope was about to break into a show tune!!)
Funny what sticks in our heads. So , Miss America… 
Yes, they tell me it is hot here!! 
So, you think your daughter will be moving to Austin eventually??
Dearest Glenn, Jim “trying hard to relax,”that made me laugh out loud, with glee. He and his best office guy went to a 2-day business seminar in San Antonio this weekend, and he’s all revved up aout the old car biz. Yeah, what IS BB cooking? He now has a whole bunch of what look like pastry ingredients in front of him. You know Austin is on a river, right??
God didn’t mind, but Melva did — laffs profusely. 
Man, you are ON today!! 
Silly.

Hi Jannie .. I think BB is cooking one of Vered’s pancake mixes .. looked good – as did your food blog .. which popped up somewhere. Soaking here .. so I guess we could make mud pies out of lots of words .. I constantly need to retype .. frustrating and time consuming .. and thingumbie bits slip through the lace, – love your stories of the errors of our ways ..
Happy week .. and I must listen to thee signing .. or is it singeing .. or even singing .. I’m distracted – there’s a chick seagull here on the roof at my head level about three feet away .. plucked an ancient chicken bone from the gutter .. and it’s dropping it, then catching it .. it plopped into the gutter again .. poor little thing .. probably hungry – foul day .. – it would dearly like to eat it length wise … it’s a long drop (not its oesophagus!) – 4 stories ..
Oh well enough of this .. brian will get anxious and withdrawn with concern and worry .. bye for now ..
Oh yes – I see I’d better do a post on hops .. and beer … my books come out tomorrow .. and there’s something packed away on beer … bye .. it’s cool here! Have a good rest of the week – Hilree oxoxo

OMG! I looovveee waterparks!! The lazy river is my favorite, too. The one where I ‘m from, Waldameer, has THE BEST lazy river I’ve ever been on. It’s soooooo long and they don’t ever make you get out of the water if you don’t want too. Love it.

Well, 5 lovely ladies have landed — how wonderful!!
Dearest Hilary — well, I read Vered’s recipe out loud and BB seems to have gotten the cooking bug, yes! I saw him grating lemons today but he’s remaining quite secretive about what he’s up to. The rain messes up your Internet, hey? Hopefully there won’t be an singeing of the petition! Ooo, books tomorrow. Youy have hundreds and hundreds, I bet? Please send rain. Please send ocean with gulls. Thanks!!
Dearest Vered, and I LOVE how you never miss a post of them, I appreciate your comments!!
Dearest Julie, I will Google Waldameer! Do they serve margaritas on that lazy river?? That’s what I love about the Hyatt — riverside service, and back on the tube we hop.
You ever heard about Texas’ Schlitterbahn water park?
Dearest Nessa — I think your lime green would make perfect sidebar slime!! ;0
Dearest Daisy — you are AWESOME!! Hugs from me too!!

Jannie,
One of the things I love about your site (and I probably repeating myself) is that reading your posts usually makes me smile and laugh. I’m amazed that you find these typos…then again knowing how I type, it’s likely I’ve participated and not known it!
Hitting the wrong key can totally alter the meaning of what you planned to say! Given this series of yours,however, I must say I’m pleased that I, and others, occasionally miss our keys:~)

Hey Jannie,
So while I was on working on my new site, I read your blog in silence. So it is nice to be back and to be able to post comments again.
You always make me laugh and this list is just so funny. I love the lacy river and the firewords. Actually…all of it is just perfect.
Thank you for sharing your laughter will all of us! And so how do you like being a CEO?

Oh, there is so much I could say about fertilizer. Which kind are you thinking of? The one that used to be pure nitrate until 911 made the government leery of it’s explosive tendencies, the kind that is literally bull sh*t? I guess you could say it’s made of “pants” if you include the skidmarks.
Or it could be mulch made from plants. There’s all kinds of fertilizer.

i love the typo posts. always awesome! and you may be on to something with singing petitions – that seems a lot more compelling than a stack of papers on a clipboard. (is there an anti-endometriosis petition? i’d rather sign – or sing – that one.)

P.S. Please, please, please let me know when you’ve come up with the song for the endometriosis awareness petition so that I can post it on my blog. I’m quite certain that we can rack up a whole slew of signatures with your lovely singing voice drawing attention to it. Once you post the video on your YouTube channel, I can favorite it so that my YouTube channel viewers will see it too. What a brilliant idea! Must be that being a “grannie” has bestowed you with immense wisdom!!

Dearest Nadia — cool beans! And did I really type “cool beans??”
Dearest Alice Audrey, I was thinking of like, Miracle Gro and such!
Dearest Joaquin — your comments always make me laugh and smile!
Dearest Liara, and you are one of the all-time refreshingest people I know!!

Hey Jannie, I love the pics and the typos. They’re funny. I try to watch what I type, but times I am typing on my netbook with it perched precariously on one bended leg, and it rocks back and forth while I type. Other times I have a in my lap (now curled up in the triangle formed by my straight leg and the back of the couch. There is a lot of backspacing as I get my fingers on the wrong keys. I may be another unwitting participant in the typo expo.
Have a great day (or night).

Dearest Linda — you have an Acer Netbook? And it JUST now occured to me that Acer means either bitter or sour in French. I think.
I tend to slink my lower back into my soft chair. And at this very writing am sucking in my abs. But I am very familiar with that precarious laptop knee postition you speak of!

Actually mine is an HP. I tried a lot of keyboards before choosing, and found the HP fit me best. Happy typing!

Dearet Linda — how serindipitous (or however you spell that!) I just put up your button about the same minute you left this comment!! And how can anyone not just fall in LOVE with that cat of yours!! (Notice I photoshopped the background just a wee tad to make the words pop better?) Hmmmn, I never thought about actually fitting myself for a laptop — but it makes total sense. The 2 I’ve owned were mail order, sight unseen. Ths Acer is a bit teeny for my fingers.
