The speech actually went well. I didn’t memorize any of it. Completely winged it from start to finish. No lie. I already knew my subject material. The prof was bitching telling someone else that she doesn’t like us to memorize our speeches. Oh! And we’re not supposed to use note cards. And if we use slides that might look like notes, and highlight key facts in our speech, she considers those note cards and deducts points. Idiot bitch woman. My speech included slides with nice graphics that just happened to have some bullets which reminded me what the hell I was supposed to be talking about. Too bad so sad for her, huh?
Oh! I chose a really easy subject (for you and I, anyway). “Google:Not just a search engine”. Mwahahaha! Can you believe there are still people in this world who don’t know what Blogger and/or YouTube are? I didn’t either until I gave my speech. I put it all together at the end by telling them all about making money with AdSense. OMG! They so fell for it!!! Stop me now! Don’t any of them have bullshit detectors? Apparently not. I was laughing so hard (on the inside) that at the end I didn’t even know I was nervous. Take that, fuckers!!!
So, anyway, that was fun. Now, about that phrase. Looney pointed me to a funny which I absolutely must share with everyone else. Enjoy.
Update:
I have looked at my site stats in a while (mostly because I forgot about them. OOPS!). So, today I remembered them decided to take a peek. Here’s some search phrases that folks have used to find me:
- my brain has turned to mush i can’t think straight
- plugged ass
- softball spit pictures
- ways to make the wife happy and play wow
- wife doesn’t put out
Big cockin’ jingle-heimer!* What else can I say? I don’t even want to know which posts generated results for those searches.;)
Let’s see what searches end up here with that phrase. Mwahahaha!

Yay on the speech! My speech prof told us not to memorize, but note cards were good as long as we glanced at them only occasionally. Once I memorized anyway and it didn’t go as well as using the cards. Funny video!
I don’t mind wingin’ it, really. But nothing to jog my mind? I mean, I’m way forgetful, so if I had nothing I’d just be standing there with drool coming out of my mouth saying “Uh-well-um-yeah!”
I knew you’d love the video… and YAY on the speech. Your teacher sounds like a bit of a wingnut. What helps you make a good, articulate, informative, attention-holding speech, is what works. For one person it’s notecards, for another memorization, for another simple outline, for another a knowledge of the subject and the freedom to wing it.
Glad it went well, though. You took it by the horns and did what worked. Good on ya
I thought that phrase was funny when the Happy Bunny said it, but that’s about it.
Sounds like your speech was a great success!
When we’re you discussing plugged ass? Do I have to do a google search and find out?LOL
Yay, JJ — way to go on the speech! And I gotta agree with Looney, the process that works is the one that works for you — period.
A couple years ago I had to get ordained online so I could legally marry a couple friends of mine — and it was a tough ceremony. With a mix of very hip former dot-commers who all came up together on one hand and all the prim and proper older family folks on the other, it was hard to come up with something respectful, heart-felt and genuinely funny without offending. With such a fine line to walk, you bet yer ass I memorized it…and then went off the cuff when I forgot while up there, but the memorization gave me the confidence to say as I winged it “I know the gist of this backward and forward” and it turned out fine.
D’oh, this went way longer than I planned — did I mention great job?
You go girl, you are so fab!! I took speech in high school and college (I love public speaking, thought about joining Toastmasters) and never once did they saw no cards, or cues or anything. What’s up with that!?
AS for those searches….humph! I can’t say a thing to that!!
Looks like you’re number one, Jenny.
Ok, I’m back.
Yes, my teacher is a flippin’ nut. I don’t know what she’s thinking. I’m thinking of popping her in the back of the head, but I think someone may frown upon that. So, I guess I won’t do it.
Schad,
You’re ordained? Wow! That’s cool!
Mark,
Mwahahaha! I’m going to have to see if anyone’s clicked on my site looking for that now.
