At least none of you work for a company called "76 Trombones"

Someone from Wells Fargo visits my blog every now and then, and whenever I see the "wellsfargo.com" domain in my Sitemeter list, I can't help singing in my head, "O-ho the Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin' down the street oh please let it be for me!"

Except it's not even really me singing this musical gem in my mind; it's the voice of little red-headed, lispy Opie Cunningham.

This doesn't happen when I pass any of the many Wells Fargo billboards or banking branches located around the Twin Cities, so I have no idea why the domain in my site hits list would have such a radically different effect.

In any case, hello, whoever you are. Thanks for reading, and thanks for keeping American musical theater alive in my heart.

Now I have "76 Trombones" stuck in my head. I don't recognize that Wells Fargo song at all though.

Hey R--Click the "Preview" button for track 12 for a little highlight, if you want. (Or maybe don't, because it will just replace "76 Trombones" with that song on constant loop in your head. Your call, I guess.) ;-)

Nobody visits me from any real companies. It's always like porn4u.com. You must be klassy.

You totally remind me of my officemate, who is a man. I'm sorry I met him first so that I could reverse that. Anyway, you know a lot of randome stuff and it creeps me out sometimes. This post has "creepy random stuff" written all over it. But, you're still the coolest kid on the block. I like creepy.

Word verification: hyoeo. That's hilarious! I know someone's swinging from a vine exclaiming that...

Poppy said...

"I'm sorry I met him first" should read "I''m sorry I didn't meet you first." BEDtime. Sigh.

New word verification: xirodsv. That's just funny because it's random.

I'm not sure why this one was particularly creepy... A bit obscure, maybe, but creepy?? I prefer charmingly quirky, Poppy. I'm also glad, I guess, that you didn't weigh in on the Vampire House theory in my "all the reasons I'm crazy" post a week or so back. ;-)

Hey Stef, It's me, Stef.

I'm your WF visitor.

Do I get a prize? Like a retired printer?

Stefanie said...

Ah, mystery solved! Well hello, Bob... whoever you are. (Your profile link is blocked, so you will, I suppose, remain a mystery. Now that I see you here, though, I do think I recall you commenting once or twice before.)

As for a prize, um... yeah! Consider yourself the proud new owner of eight bags of mulch and dirt and evergreen needles! :-)

Bob said...

I totally need mulch and dirt, but I have an abundance of needles. I'll also be in (right outside of in Hudson) the cities from the 30th until the 8th with my three year old visiting my best friend and her hubby. I don't think I'd be able to stand the smell for the ride home, though!

My profile link doesn't work because I have two blogs, and I don't want my ex to see the second one.
