I guest posted today over on Whall.org. Come check it out. It’s a video, too.

Next up is the season ending episode of Snowy Sunday.

Super Snowy Sunny Scooter Snackie Sunday!

Hilly — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 06:01:07 +0000

Hi there, my name is Hilly from Snackie’s World! Most of you know me but for those who don’t, I run a regular feature on my blog each week called Snackie Sunday. Oddly enough, Marty too runs a weekly feature called Scooter Sunday or Snowy Sunday or whatever else he may come up with next. In any case, although I was not able to go out and make a video titled either “Hemi Sunday” or “Look, It’s Sunny And 70 Degrees (again) In Southern California Sunday”, I thought I could bring you the next best thing. Today, I will be hosting Snackie Sunday from Marty’s blog and we’ll let our theme have something to do with his recent trip to Hawaii.

Actually, I had this whole thing planned on how I would incorporate Hawaii into Snackie Sunday but you know what? He’s not even there anymore! Nope, he’s flying back home from a wonderful vacation, probably stuck in an airplane with whiny passengers and crying babies. That got me thinking about a trip that I have coming up in a couple of days and how much I loathe flying. It’s not that I’m scared of it or anything like that…I just hate being stuffed into a hot box with people I don’t know for hours on end.

With that said, it’s time for…..

WHEN FLYING, DO YOU PREFER AISLE, WINDOW, OR CENTER SEAT?

I know it would seem that NOBODY would pick the center seat however I do have a friend who has this enormous fear of flying and she prefers being in the middle because it makes her feel safe. Hey, one man’s “safe” is another’s “claustrophobic”, right? I totally prefer the window seat even though I have a bladder the size of a pea. I think that the window seat affords a little more room to scrunch (or cower) away from the other passengers and besides, I love the view. There’s nothing better than flying into a city and looking at it from above before you land!

Anydoodle, your turn! What’s your preference and why?

Marty Mankins Kisses.

Things to Do When You’re Stuck in Hawaii

SecondHand Karl — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 18:13:38 +0000

Hiya. Karl here. Marty has once again decided to leave the keys to his blog in the hands of relative strangers while he goes off on a little vacay. This time he’s not getting married because, well, he’s already married. He’s off in Hawaii, Twittering away in the sand and surf.

I’ve never been to Hawaii because I refuse to acknowledge its statehood until I can drive there. But I understand it’s very nice. Here are some things Marty can do while he’s there.

Run in slow motion along the beach, carrying a red Baywatch life buoy. Rescue several swimmers, whether they need it or not. Be careful not to put them down until you reach the parking lot. They’ll thank you.
Roast pigs with apples in their mouths. Pigs love that.
Get on a dining table and sing the entire Don Ho repertoire. Be sure to acquire a bubble machine for the encore.
Reenact the Brady Bunch Hawaii episodes. Try not to freak out with a tarantula on your chest.
Look for Higgins from Magnum, P.I. Don’t come home until you find him.
Get leid.
Find the four-toed statue from “Lost.” Put a giant toe ring on it.
Have a scavenger hunt and look for consonants. They’re a rare find in Hawaii.
Bungee jump into a volcano.
Collect several hundred beer bottles. Put messages in each one, cork them, and set them into the water to see where the bottles go. Wait for a response.

That ought to keep Marty busy.

It’s Me, Over There

Today, I am guest posting over at Secondhand Trypotophan… you know, Karl’s blog. He guest posted for me when I got married last month so I thought I would return the favor.
