ABBA Lives!!

So…How do I begin this?

For those of you who think I am a big asshole. A sarcastic SOB. A jerk. I have something to tell you…

You’re right, but…

I have a weakness…I LOVE ABBA.

And…I want to get them back together. Of course they never will, even for ten gazillion dollars, so I thought to myself.

Self?

Why don’t you get them back together in your own damn way?

That is exactly what I am doing now. I am putting together a band called, MATTBA.

It will be a tribute band honoring not only the music, but the lifestyle that is ABBA.

I will wear a cape. I will get married and divorced from some hot chick. I will trend towards writing disco songs when the going gets tough.

Here’s the rub…

I need three more people to join me...Two hot singing chicks and a guy with whom I can write.

Benny and Bjorn are damn good, but Matt-Man and "Mr. X" could be magnificent, and it could be you.

So folks…I am accepting resumes.

Now Schmoop could be the hot red head, but do I really want a chick on tour with me that just nags and nags and wants me to cook for her?

I don't fucking think so, and plus…I wanna go on tour and score big time with some unearthly looking blondes who are larger than life and have enormous hair.

Schmoop can be the manager. That leaves all three positions open for you guys…and gals.

If you need some reminding of how cool ABBA was, here’s a video. If you watch it…you can even picture me playing the guitar while wearing the cape. Enjoy…

Any takers?

Cheers!!

A New Month...A New COW, and a Dutch Treat

Wow!! It is already March 1st.

Seems like only yesterday it was February. Where does the time go?

March is a busy month.

Spring begins, Drunkenness ensues on St. Paddy’s Day, Schmoop turns 42 26, and...

I get to turn the page on my George W. Bush Countdown To Leaving Office Calendar. Boo Yah!!

Anyhoo, Sindi tagged me with a meme (and most of you know how I feel about those) that asks 39 questions of the, um...memee?

I thought I would answer a few at a time. So to wit, and heretofore, are a couple of my answers…

13. Favorite food?

As you know, I do love the greasy goodness of fried SPAM, but I also have a love of Baloney sandwiches on white bread, smothered in cottage cheese and Cheetos. Yum-Frickin’-Oh!!

39. How many countries have you been to?

I have only been to the vast wasteland that is Canada. It was very unmemorable, and as exciting as watching a curling match.

I would like to go to the Netherlands. I came across a blogger named the Dutch Bitch.

For some reason, she reminds me of the ABBA chick, Frida Lyngstad. Purrrrrrrr.

It would be great to fly over and explore her lowlands.

If I went there and failed to hook up with Dutchie, Holland still has two other things of note…Legal prostitution, and delicious cheese. Proost and Gezondheid!!

31. What are you afraid of?

Sure, I know many of you think that I am fearless, but that is not the case. I fear clowns, midgets, and librarians.

If I ever come across a midget, dressed up like Bozo, discussing the nuances of the Dewey Decimal System, I would probably spontaneously combust.

There it is, a little insight into the Matt-Man. I’ll answer more queries from Sindi next Saturday.

And now, it’s time for the Bagwine Ruminations Comment of the Week…

As expected, our COW comes from my Half Nekkid Thursday post. Our winner this week is Marilyn, who authors More Random Than Average.

Marilyn’s comment is proof positive that not only are Bagwine readers smart, their children are insightful and intuitive as well.

Marilyn’s comment comes indirectly from her adorable young daughter, Jasmine…

“So Jasmine starts to walk in here and I say, "No! there's inappropriate stuff on this blog".

and she says..."Matt-Man's blog?"
How'd she know?”

How precious…Please stop by and congratulate one of the driest wits in the blogosphere on roping this week’s COW. You can visit Marilyn by clicking HERE.

Enjoy your Saturday folks, I am off to see the Matt-Man clone for a few.

Cheers!!
