bored beyond belief #44 – A disgruntled 50 and a T
May 20, 2009
Listen here [31.20]
Listener discretion advised (no offense)
A Giant-Sized, double-issue bored beyond belief!
Teresa joins me to wish me warm birthday wishes – I have reached the big 5-0. She offers me useless advice about becoming a “senior”
Her menopause is improved now that she’s on birth control pills (”ping-ping”) and the regrets of never having an abortion.
Teresa fulminates about the word “senior”. Teresa insists that the phrase “mature adult” is an oxymoron.
Joe G. is in his “golden years”.
What’s new with California besides Miss California. Can you say “insolvency“?
I miss trash piling up in the streets – then I blabber & reminisce about the 1960’s/1970’s. Teresa asks if my teens were the “best years of [my] life”.
Digital TV and re-seeing the wonders of blaxploitation movies! The wonderful Pam Grier!
What was it like growing up in the 1970’s? Remember trash pick-up strikes?
What was the #1 song was on the day of your birth?
What plans might I have for my 50th birthday?
Groaning about my health issues – I’m a senior now, after all. Would you want to be awake for surgery? My health insurance won’t pay for the less invasive procedure.
The young try to be respectful to seniors like me…

bored beyond belief #40 – Death WATCH List 2009
January 11, 2009
Listen here
Who stays? Who goes? Who lives? Who dies?
Find out as my friend the suburban soccer sicko mom Jill & I decide the fates of dozens of VIP’s and has-beens as we create our Death Watch Lists for 2009..
We do it all for your entertainment satiation.

Diamanda Galas – Oh, Death
UPDATE:
Teresa (gleefully) sent me information that there already is a death – of course from Jill’s list. She got 3 points. At least I got the podcast out before anyone died this year.
