Ronin Profile: GrannyBoo
* * * * What's the story behind your name? My given name was a mouthful for my nephews. The first one called me Biffer (which I liked), the second one called me Boo (which stuck). Now that I'm a (step) granny it continues. If I had had children of my own I would be Mommie Dearest. It crossed my mind to require the grandbabies to call me Grandmother Dearest but I guess I'm wimping out in my senescence. I tried to get the stepson and -daughter to call me StepMonster Dearest but they laughed at me. Does this mean I'm not as intimidating as I like to think I am? Where do you live? (city, state) No city, thankyouverymuch. Rural Greene county, Indiana, aka God's Country. About 35 miles SW of that oozing cesspool of liberal political correctness that is Bloomington, home of I.U. If we have to go there I fantasize about tipping over all the Mini Coopers with "Defeat Bush Again" and Darwin fish bumper stickers. Someday I'll do it. Will IMAO readers collect money for my bail? How old are you? Old enough to know better/Younger than springtime, depending on my mood. Born during the Eisenhower administration, on the first day that Armistice Day was called Veterans' Day. (Quick! Everyone to wikipedia! But open a new tab so you can keep IMAO up.) Tell us briefly about yourself. I used to have a sweatshirt which read: "Christian, American, Heterosexual, Pro-life, Right-wing Conservative. Any questions?" That about sums it up, except for the outdoors woman part. Hunt, fish, hike, water ski, garden, just generally play outdoors. Also, let sarahk know that I am a migraineur and so I understand her trials. (In fact I have one today. I'd be funnier if I could see out of my right eye and wasn't so nauseated.) How long have you been reading IMAO? Since the first Frank Facts About Fred Thompson. I followed a link from somewhere-- maybe The Corner? I liked it so well I immediately dropped a bookmark into my toolbar. (High praise indeed. Not just everybody makes that slot.) What's your favorite IMAO post? lolterizt, IMAO Condensed, the Daily Fred Facts, Edwards Fabulous Facts and the new Hillary Terrible Truths. Actually, it's all good. That's how you made the toolbar. If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Snarky, snarkier, snarkiest What's your favorite political issue? My heart belongs to state's rights and limited government. Also protecting my right to own several firearms and go into the woods with a compound bow to shoot Bambi, Thumper, and other tasty woodland creatures. Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I am the web servant (I maintain the website) for my church, but I don't even have a current essay up right now. Since its a church website I only write about spiritual issues there, anyway. Can't get political or the IRS will come take Pastor away. What's your third favorite color? What a girlie, wussy bonus question! I was hoping for "what would you do with x superpower" or "whom should we nuke next". Oh well. Okay-- probably Mossy Oak Shadowgrass. Obsession is my favorite, but most of my stuff is in Break Up. The grey in the bark really brings out my hair.... [I can ask whatever questions I want! -Ed.] * * * * If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you're still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you're interesting doesn't mean we won't enjoy your story. 23 Responses To "Ronin Profile: GrannyBoo"
Wow, GrannyBoo. Are you kooking for men born during the Truman administration? #1 - Posted by: Old Geezer on October 10, 2007 04:54 PMI am glad to hear I'm not the only granny in the vast right-wing IMAO audience. After reading through all the profiles of all these young'uns I was beginning to wonder. Good grief, I have have sweaters older than what appears to be the average age of IMAO commenters. #2 - Posted by: Lily on October 10, 2007 06:08 PMG-Boo, Well muh Deah, you are either my age, or the age of "shewhowontbenamed". You sound Delightful. Only problem is, you're too smart, witty, and well armed for a feller like me. Durn the Luck. Were those colors, or perfume names? I'll holler Happy b-day in a generally North Easterly direction the day after the Marine Corps Ball. #3 - Posted by: howlsatmoon on October 10, 2007 06:36 PMI think IMAO should have a "singles column" for old people. Me me me me me (ooops, there go my teef). Kirk's ex-wife: "How do you feel?" But not GrannyBoo, noooo. #4 - Posted by: Old Geezer on October 10, 2007 07:07 PM"If we have to go there I fantasize about tipping over all the Mini Coopers with "Defeat Bush Again" and Darwin fish bumper stickers. Someday I'll do it. Will IMAO readers collect money for my bail?" I will do better than that, give me a little advanced warning and I will come down and help you tip them. #5 - Posted by: Brian the Adequate on October 10, 2007 08:12 PMSo, Granny, what would you do if you could grow 50x your size? #6 - Posted by: K T Cat on October 10, 2007 09:19 PMA feisty Gramma! Cool. #7 - Posted by: Polly Esther on October 10, 2007 09:26 PMVery nice and funny profile GrannyBoo, don't forget to check out the archives. IMAO has been funny for a long time now and those old posts are still worth reading. Legend has it that a mysterious spacemonkey would appear from time to time. #8 - Posted by: Dohtimes on October 10, 2007 09:26 PMHi GrannyBoo, I agree, the last question was kinda John Edwardish. However, I just love Mossy Oak Shadow Grass, it brings out the green in my eyes. :). As Always, You are all so kind. Thank you. 1. Old Geezer: Thanks, but Hubby wouldn't like it. 2. Lily: I'm so proud of you that you can still wear your sweaters from the Reagan years. Have you taken the shoulder pads out? I did, but I'm sorry sometimes.... 3. Howlsatmoon: I checked out your blog and you're plenty smart. Poetic, too. The colors are Mossy Oak camo patterns. (Hunters don't wear perfume.) Have fun at the ball. 4. Old Geezer: Hubby found me at church. There's a fine woman in a pew near you. (oooh! it rhymed!) 5. Brian the Adequate: Sometime near Christmas work for you? 6. KT Cat: At 50x my size I would be 283 1/3 feet tall, weigh close to 4 tons and have a stride length of about 125'. Whoa. Think I'd stroll out to California, uproot a giant sequoia to use as a ski, find a supertanker to tow me and use the Phillippine archipelago as a slalom course. Thanks for asking. 7. Polly Esther: cool name! 8. Dohtimes: I will! Humble Servant: I'll be lookin' out for another stylin' hunter! Good luck this season! #11 - Posted by: Granny Boo on October 10, 2007 10:53 PMGranny, A supertanker wouldn't be fast enough. May I suggest an Aegis cruiser? The USS Princeton, perhaps? I assure you, it would be plenty fast. It also has some excellent tools for removing things that might bother you while waterskiing. #13 - Posted by: K T Cat on October 11, 2007 08:47 AMHaving recently joined the ranks of middle age I need to ask you, does menopause hurt? :me scared: Also is it wrong at our age to still have a crush on a manhunk from a popular ninties TV show about Superman? If you still have a manhunk crush, who is he? Welcome to the Ronin Pile!! #14 - Posted by: shimauma on October 11, 2007 08:49 AMKT Cat: Good thinkin'! I was fixated on jumping the wake the tanker would throw (with those blunt bows they displace a mess of water) but the cruiser would be agile enough to do awesome cuts! Maybe if I volunteered to go stomp on Ahmadinnerjacket first the Navy would let me try out skiing behind the whole fleet. #15 - Posted by: GrannyBoo on October 11, 2007 09:38 AMHi GrannyBoo! Nice to see another Hoosier on here. Now, when you're tipping those Mini's make sure that you double check to make sure it belongs to a liberal...I'd hate to have to shoot you for tipping over my car. Just check for a Masonic license plate and there shouldn't be a problem. #16 - Posted by: Luke on October 11, 2007 09:53 AMShimauma: At the risk of frightening the male readers, I'll reply to the first question at your blog. As for manhunk crushes, I must say, you have nice taste. He is one fine lookin' young man. Maybe it's having a 25 year old stepson, but any more I look at younger men as just taking another one to raise. Don't need that. Now, as to men in my own age group or older? Tom Selleck. My, my, my. Always had it bad for Charlton Heston, too. Oh! and I've been in love with Dick Cheney since he was Pres. Ford's Chief of Staff. #17 - Posted by: GrannyBoo on October 11, 2007 10:01 AMLuke: Gunfight at 2nd and Walnut! Can we sell tickets? #18 - Posted by: GrannyBoo on October 11, 2007 10:35 AMNow, as to men in my own age group or older? Tom Selleck. You's good people, Granny. But Tom's mine. #19 - Posted by: Polly Esther on October 11, 2007 01:25 PMThanks for the MP info, Gran, it was comforting and informative. Dean Cain is quite the Hottie isn't he? I think he would make a great VP! Shirtless Fireside Chats and press conferences!!! OOOOOOOO!!! #20 - Posted by: shimauma on October 11, 2007 01:44 PMGood to hear from a fan who is in my age group! And I have been trying for years to connect the dots that definitively link those @#%%'in migraines to some kind of commie plot. But the one sided blindness slows me up and that infernal tapping on the keyboard as I try to conduct my research makes me want to upchuck. I said I HAD sweaters, I never said I could (or would) wear them. Hehehe. I'm with you Granny, I don't think much about young men. I've seen too much stupidity from my own sons. When my oldest turned 17, (the age his dad was when we met) I remember thinking, "Good gravy! He is just like his dad, how dumb did I have to be to think 17 yr-old-guys were in any way shape or form attractive, or intelligent?" My manhunk vote goes to John Schneider. That Bo Duke was one fine looking hillbilly, and he has aged well too. #22 - Posted by: Lily on October 11, 2007 06:29 PM#21 neocon cowgirl: cool handle. I have been on a multi-year search for any cause, commie, stalinist, jihadist, I don't care, just make it stop. I'm better today, though. I don't think most men understand why VPOTUS is so hot. 's okay. Not something they can replicate. # 22 Lily: Yes, yes. It's so hard for me to not laugh at what my stepdaughter and daughter in law find attractive. They look like such babies! John Schneider ... no competition from me on that one. Enjoy! #23 - Posted by: on October 11, 2007 09:57 PMPost a comment
