Because I don’t have time to post 50 pictures of squirrels or crap in the husband’s barn this morning.

John Oliver is coming to rescue me.
Technically he’s not a fictional character, but if you watch the show…. you know he’s a character all the same.
.
.
Of course with John doing the saving, I predict the rescue won’t go as planned and the kidnapper will have two hostages instead of one…
But at least I’ll be laughing while chained to that metal pole.
Who’s coming to rescue you?
If you have predictive text on your cell phone, grab it and let’s play.
Remember The Princess Bride movie?
No, I don’t either. But apparently there’s a quotable line from the film that goes like this….
So a Facebook friend of mine tagged me to play the 2020 version.
Start texting My name is…..
You killed my….
Prepare to….
And let predictive text do the rest.
My results:
My name is not the big barn. ( seriously, that’s what I got! )
You killed my husband and he didn’t even know. ( it’s true he’s not very observant, but still. )
Prepare to be a little more than the kale. ( I seriously hope I’m a lot more than that foul weed. )
Not kidding, that’s what it said.
Apparently my iPhone is freakishly tuned in to my life.
Which if I stopped laughing, might make me a little worried.
Next up in my continuing series on the absolutely crazy things people will pay money for Maine Adult Education is…. LEGOS.
Yes, LEGOS.
Those annoying little plastic toy pieces we’ve all stepped on and paid the price.
And while there have been some other ridiculous classes…
You’re never too old to learn…. Spoons.
You’re never to old to learn…. Potatoes.
You’re never too old to learn…. Ukulele
You’re never too old to learn…. Chakra Toning.
You’re never too old to learn…. Mindfulness.
You’re never to old to learn…. Tin Cans.
You’re never too old to learn…. Knotweed Flutes.
You’re never too old to learn… Succulent Picture Frame.
This one, and it’s how the hell can we make this nonsense sound like a legitimate college course description really made me laugh.
Oh, it’s a facilitated process? Well, that explains everything.
And they use specially selected LEGO elements! Wow.
Does that mean the red ones… or the green?
The group discussion would be interesting to hear. Problem solving and decision making? Give me a break… exactly what wisdom will you gain?
Okay, there’s that.
But hey, you’ll be utilizing kinesthetic skills and will be required to learn and listen.
This is Serious Play!
Taught by a Serious Play facilitator!
Of course when I was young, the people who took LEGOS seriously usually ended up like this….
But maybe times have changed.
