Half Ass Weekend Post
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 21-11-2010
As with many of my weekend posts, I am going to half ass this one. Why? I only get about half the views and comments on weekends, so the post gets half the effort. Makes sense to me. In fact maybe this could end up being a series… Half Ass Weekends. I like it.
Today I just have a random experience to share with you. The other day I was getting ready to leave for work and I saw a lone, single Banana Nut Cheerio sitting on the couch cushion. The lady friend sometimes sits there with a bowl of cereal watching TV before leaving for work in the mornings. She leaves about 30 minutes before I do so she was already gone when I saw this. I grabbed the lonely Cheerio and threw it away. But I pulled out my phone and sent her a text:
“Just wondered if that random Cheerio left sitting on the couch was there for a reason? Maybe you forgot it? I saved it for you.“
To which she responded:
“Thank God you did. It was watching TV with me and I thought I had lost it. You are my Cheerio Hero. Where is your cape?”
I thought that was funny and couldn’t come up with an adequate response so I let it be.
This weekend the Lady Friend and I are going “out of town”. I use the quotes because we’re only driving about an hour down to a city in southern MN called Red Wing. They have a kick ass 100+ year old hotel there that I have stayed at a few times so it’ll probably be a nice expensive romantic weekend. I’ll try to snap a pic or two to share with all of you Simpletons.
Is it ok to refer to my followers as Simpletons? I am the Simple Dude after all. Plus I mean it with all the love and admiration possible. And only a wee bit of sarcasm there.
If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to check out my guest post over at Cinderita’s blog. It’ll make you a better person.
SD (aka Cheerio Hero)
Is it a bird? A plane? No! It's Simple Dude, saving stranded Cheerios.

1. I will strive to be a Cheerio Hero from this day forward because I like the name.
2. Simpletons is a great title for yo peeps. With my name, there's not a lot of hope for anything good. 'Cept maybe Stoners?
3. The fact that weekend traffic is lower than weekday traffic is evidence that 87% of people read blogs all day at work instead of doing work. Which is why blogging is one of the most important things to do ever. Gotta keep the workforce of the world entertained.

Geez, come in here for a proper story after a day of house hunting and I get what? A half arsed post? Still entertaining and I know know who to call if my cheerios need saving.

I will say that those are the only kind of Cheerios that I like.

Are you, by chance, related to Captain Cornflake? He totally helped me out last week.

LOL- LOVE your girlfriend's response! And I like the Simpleton idea. You should make a button that says, I AM A SIMPLETON! lol.

Gotta love a lady who is ready for a whitty comeback!
She sounds pretty awesome. Enjoy your over priced romantic getaway!

As if we would expect anything less than aweseomeness from your lady friend. She totally deserves a romantic weekend away …and good on you for keeping the love alive now that you have settled into co-domestication.
Simpleton works for me, especially since you have confirmed that it is a term of endearment for you loyal and beloved bloggy followers.
Enjoy your week!

Okay, so am I the only one wondering if the special Cheerio got to go on the trip? Or did the hero just get his thanks then?

I am one of your followers, and I have to say, I kind of object to the term 'simpleton'. I'd much rather be called 'simply-challenged,' thank you very much.
But I love the whole "half assed" theme, so ya, give 'er Cheerio Hero…see, there's a new name for your blog!

A little Hedonism for the weekend post (I'll only put in what I'll get out), makes sense to my cynical self.
