Here’s another one of my funny lists. And when I say funny, I mean they are funny to me.  Hope you enjoy them along with a side of fries and some diet water.

And my very favorite:

Happy Friday!

One of my passions in life is socializing. I found the perfect group to share that passion with. Unfortunately I only relate to half of what they do.  Social Media Club of Salt Lake City (#SMCSLC)’s mission is to become the voice of social media technology — whether it be for business or personal use — in the Salt Lake area. With my attention span, I only saw the word “social” and joined. I don’t do the media part as well.

I attended my second #SMCSLC event last night and am still smiling. The information was helpful, useful, and entertaining. I could recap the evening covering the open mic topics and reviewing new tips and tidbits shared. But that’s not me.

The real stuff to report is from the “social” standpoint.

• In real life: This group is a great way to meet people you’ve become acquainted with online. It’s fun to meet people in real life. Even better to do it after you gotten to know them online first. We even started with a smaller group gathering at the pub next door before the event!

• Signage: Not only do you get a name tag, but you can also get a reserved butt sign if you talk to the right people. I was quick to get my tags on. Other tag is located near my other best asset.

• Electronic Devices: The room is filled with iPhones (I’m sure there were other technical gadgets present but those are invisible to me). Everyone has one and uses it. It is a proven fact (source unknown/made up) that activity with an iPhone is directly correlated with interest in the program.  Therefore the higher the iPhone distractions, the higher the interest in the event. After looking around the crowd, the event was a huge success!

• Crowd: They (geeks) come in all different forms. Men, women, tall, short, quiet, chatty, on Twitter.com (with the exception of the two that don’t – gasp!). No surprise that the room is filled with geeks. Some take it a step further and have their laptops out. Generally geeks are shy and hide behind their computer. This group condones this behavior and in fact, encourages it. They are also like a group of boy scouts…always prepared! My iPhone battery was running low and it took two seconds to find an attendee who had a power supply I could borrow. Bam. You ask. You receive. At least in this crowd. 
• Food: They had it. Cookies, pickles, olives, meatball, bread, sodas, water, etc. But let me tell you…three meatballs (off of someone else’s plate) DOES NOT constitute a proper dinner. 
• Prizes: WooHoo! Who doesn’t love to win? If you raised your hand, you’re lying.  And you’re weird. Which reminds me…I WON! Well technically my waxer won since I used our appointment card for the drawing. (I forgot to bring my own business cards.) But she wasn’t there and I’m not telling her. My prize is for one microdermabrasion treatment compliments of Mountain Medical Vein Center. True testimonial: a #SMCSLC attendee (the cutie holding the mic) looks at least 150 years younger because of the treatments she received at the center last week.

It is clear.   The night was a complete success. I met new friends and saw old ones, I won a prize, my ass was reserved, I ate meatballs & I charged my iPhone. Now you should understand why I’m still smiling.

There are phrases in life that make me giggle like a 12 year old.

• “I’m in.”  This makes me snicker like a schoolgirl every damn time I hear a guy say it.  They are usually trying to confirm their interest in participating in an event. I automatically think they’re saying they’ve inserted. Imagine asking a man, “Are you in?” What an ego deflator. Especially when all I want to know is if he’s coming joining us. 
• A private club for members This has been a term used in Utah for years to indicate that you must have a membership to enter a club or bar. Every time I hear this I think it’s a private club for mens’ private parts. Imagine a bunch of dicks wandering around a bar. Wait, I’ve actually seen that.
• “Have a great flight.” & “You too.” When a gate agent says this to me, I inevitably respond with “you too” as I rush onto the jetway. It takes me a minute to realize she isn’t flying anywhere.
• Fir & Duck When I mistype on my iPhone it should know that I rarely intend to use the term “fir” or “duck” in my text.  Fir should be for and duck should swap the “d” for a “f”. I think my iPhone misunderstands who I am. It takes me for an outdoorsy girl.  I’m not.

What are the phrases that make you laugh? Please share them. I need more to giggle about.
