Instead of Working: Halloween edition

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing, Instead of Working

If you're stuck at a desk all day, you probably get pretty bored. I mean, you can only bid on so many eBay items or play so many hands of solitaire in one day, right? Maybe this will help pass the time.

For those of you who are working today and aren't able to join in the Halloween festivities, at least you can dress up virtually.

Instead of Working: Join the Wave

The Chik-fil-A Chicken Wave
As a rule, I don't like following the crowd, which is why you won't see me line dancing, doing those stupid arm gestures to "YMCA" or singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" while at an actual ball game. And under normal circumstances, I would never participate in the wave either, but I made an exception to join the Chic-fil-A Chicken Wave.

It's really kind of dumb, but I'll find any excuse to avoid doing work.

Yodel Course
If you've ever wanted to learn to yodel (and really, who hasn't?), check out this website where yodeler Norm Gwaltney will teach you the finer points of chest voices and head voices. You'll be singing "hodl-oh-ooh-dee ... hodl-ay-ee-dee ... hodl ay-ee-dee-yi-ho" in no time.

And for some inspiration, check out this very bizarre video of Franzl Lang (aka The Father of Yodeling). Beep-beep!

Send a personalized message from Tim Gunn

Normally I wouldn't post two "Instead of Working" entries in one day, but I couldn't wait to send my friends a personalized message from Tim Gunn and figured you wouldn't either.

Note: Thanks to Bonnie for sharing this link on Facebook. And sorry, Bronie, but your name is too weird to be in the database.
