"at the end of the day"... Seriously, if I hear one more person say "...at the end of the day, blah blah blah..." I'm going to have to kill him/her. I have NPR on & just listened to some guy going on about the eternal violence in the sand... he said "...at the end of the day" 11 times... aaaahhhhhh! When does this goddamn day end!
(p.s. hi, meta people from the internet! I met some of you at mygothlaundry's fabulous par-tay...I, too, can now say "I'm from the internet"... or France?...)

Trying to remember who was an Iowan? Perky slim redhead with fabulous boots? Husky but sexy married dark-haired musician dude? Curly-headed lady with Ganesha purse? Welcome, anyway!

Ew, I hate that one, too. Though I haven't heard it as much recently. In the lead-up to the presidential election people were using it constantly.

Also, hello!

At the end of the day, All Things Considered is on NPR. Coincidence?

Welcome, recovering iowan, and yes, please tell us WHICH of the cool folks at Bunnystock was you! Or is you. (I guess ~~at the end of the day,~~ those both mean the same thing.)

actually, I hate that saying too

I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!! Yay for non-bunnies becoming bunnies. (I know which one it is, nyah nyah!!)

hi, matildaben - I was the Ganesha purse... Susan, the newbie Ashevillain... far from perky and slim - more like goofy & fluffy...

to It's Raining Florence Henderson - I love your meta name, but I'm afraid I'm still going to have to kill you... sorry! (you uttered the phrase that shant be uttered)

posted by recovering iowan 16 August | 13:41

thanks, mike - I'm very hoppy to be a new bunny!

Welcome, welcome!

'tilda, I read that as "perky slim redhead with fabulous boobs"

Welcome anyway... I actually prefer "goofy & fluffy" : )

Don't be sorry. In death, peace.

...I always wanted fabulous boobs... now I have flabulous boobs... oh, well...

Careful, Specklet might ask you to send her a picture of your boobs.

P.S. I think I want to move to Asheville when I retire.

posted by matildaben 16 August | 14:06

Yay! iowan had stopover in Miami before Asheville? I'm remembering correctly?

posted by danostuporstar 16 August | 14:07

I hate that saying too because it's pure filler. One of my best friends uses it all the damn time and it always makes me cringe. Maybe I should send her this thread.

Awesome- welcome aboard, recovering iowan! :)

One down, two more to go!

Welcome! Welcome!

Traumatized by Iowa? Say it isn't so!

posted by appidydafoo 16 August | 14:42

oh, lands sake no, not traumatized... just corn-fed, bean-walked, detassled and cursed with chronic ethical sensibilities and a conscience... as well as a very corny sense of humor. (pun fully intended)

hi, recovering iowan!

Did someone say boobs?

posted by Specklet 16 August | 15:17

Also:

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love?

posted by Specklet 16 August | 15:23

I love Iwoa. And yes, I call it Iwoa, not Iowa. I loved Iwoa, but my car didn't, it is very hilly on parts of Route 80. I remember driving through Iwoa 3 times. I loved each one of them, each time was early morning, and everything gets this pink, hazy glow to it. Amazing.

Welcome.

why, is the boob truck coming?

At the end of the river,
The water stops its flow.
At the end of the highway,
There's no place you can go.
So just tell me you love me,
And you are only mine,
And our love
Will go on
To the end of time.

And who could forget these classic lyrics:

When you walk in the sun,
Keep your eyes down low
And do stay away from the park.
At the end of the day is a silver moon,
And the sweet silent cool of the dark.
Somethingsomethingsomething,
Tumpty-tumpty-tumpty,
YOU'LLLLLL ALWAYS WALK ALOOOOOOOOOONE!

SOmething like that.

...the boob truck... LOL!!! I think it's SO funny how people get so worked up over a couple of bags of soft tissue & fluid that start out perky and eventually become pendulous... what power!

posted by recovering iowan 16 August | 16:25

HI RECOVERING IOWAN! I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU ARE HERE! I AM MOVED TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS, AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS ABOUT IT! YAAAAHHH!
