Smiley Saturday - Are You Bored With Your Name?
I’m using another one of those “forwarded emails” for Smiley Saturday this week. The part of the message that really stood out to me was this:
And remember that children laugh an average of 146 times a day; adults laugh an average of 4 times a day.
What a sobering thought. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood we “forget” to laugh an average of 142 times a day!!!
So my challenge to all of us today/this weekend, is to find 142 things that make us laugh. To start you all off, here is the rest of the email I was sent:
The following is excerpted from a children’s book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names…
So:
1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name:
a = snickle
b = doombah
c = goober
d = cheesey
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = dumbo
h = farcus
I = dorky
j = doofus
k = funky
l = boobie
m = sleezy
n = sloopy
o = fluffy
p = stinky
q = slimy
r = dorfus
s = snooty
t = tootsie
u = dipsy
v = sneezy
w = liver
x = skippy
y = dinky
z = zippy
2. Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:
a = dippin
b = feather
c = batty
d = burger
e = chicken
f = barffy
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = farkle
j = monkey
k = flippin
l = fricken
m = bubble
n = rhino
o = potty
p = hamster
q = buckle
r = gizzard
s = lickin
t = snickle
u = chuckle
v = pickle
w = lickin
x = dingle
y = gorilla
z = girdle
3. Use the third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:
a = butt
b = boob
c = face
d = nose
e = hump
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = head
l = tush
m = chunks
n = dunkin
o = brains
p = biscuits
q = toes
r = doodle
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u = sprinkles
v = frack
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = hiney
z = juice
Thus, for example, George W. Bush’s new name is: Fluffy Chucklefanny.
Mine doesn’t actually turn out as funny as some but anyway, here it is:
cheesey dippindunkin
I still doubt I could introduce myself many times without cracking a smile!!!!
If I use “Lightening” in place of my first name I get
dumbo dippindunkin
Make sure you share your new name in the comments section so we can all have a giggle. And share what you’re going to do today to add some extra laughs to your life. 
If you’ve not participated in Smiley Saturday before, you can find more details on the Smiley Saturday page.
Happy Smiley Saturday everyone!!!
). I think the point with Simple Living is to shop MINDFULLY. Some would also say it’s to shop for NEEDS more than WANTS. So perhaps I’ll never be as “good” at Simple Living as some.
But that’s okay, I’ll happily carve my own path in life.
We ended up training for 2 HOURS this week. 2 HOURS!!!! I certainly slept well Thursday night!!! Fingers crossed I actually play better this week as a result.
So I bought this pair instead. I REALLY liked those with a much narrower heel but my knees didn’t like the unsteadiness. *sigh* Must be getting old. I have to settle for low boots cos my legs are too fat! 
). Has everyone been able to at least make contact with their swap partners? Please let me know if you’ve hit a snag there.
