Ask The Chicks – Mock’s Pick Of The Litter
Written by Mockarena // March 2, 2012 // The Makeover And/Or Miscellaneous // 27 Comments
I went to bed last night thinking about what a horrible first night Andrew Breitbart’s wife and kids were about to have – first night without their husband/dad – and I got all weepy and thankful for Mr. Mock and my boys and the rest of my family and Daisy – and I decided that this morning, I was going to be cheerful and happy and not waste a speck of time missing out on joy and glee when clearly, as was made totally evident yesterday, life is way too short.
So I figured, what better way to start off the day gleefully than to post one of my favorite Ask The Chicks episodes we’ve made to date? Everytime I watch it I laugh just as hard as I did when we made it.
Buckeye Bob has another photoshop contribution at the beginning, which you may not even get unless you’re as old as we are (or older). But it CRACKS ME UP SO MUCH.
PLUS, there’s singing in this one. TWO SEPARATE TIMES.
It’s basically like a 5 minute variety show. I think you’ll like it. And hopefully, if y’all went to sleep last night thinking about sad things like I did, this will help start your day of glee off right.

I, too, went to bed last night very sad. What a great loss we had yesterday. As a conservative, I believe this country is much more than 50 states , (or 57 if you’re Obama,) it is a wonderful experiment, a perfect idea, a fragile cause, a divine hope. Andrew Breitbart was the guy who fought the battles to preserve these precious things.
You are right Mock. We have a choice everyday to live happily. The good fight will continue and it’s cool people like you and Daisy that help spread the conservative word. I would for sure go to your “show on the road.” You really should think about it.
PS Daisy- I have my shoes in acrylic boxes with photos attached on the outside. You girls seriously need to come to Minnesota, we’ll have wine & shop. Did I mention that we have no sales tax on clothing & shoes? It’s one of the good things about living in the land of Al Franken
This was adorable – Daisy, I’ll tell my highly organized daughter about your shoe arrangement. I have mine on racks but am fast running out of room and eyeing my husband’s walk-in as extra storage….
We could do a HUGE additional closet off my husband’s closet that will allow me to move all the vintage fashion stock I have for my work and organize it properly. I can have racks, countertops, an island, skylights and can even move the washer/dryer up there. I mean it only requires re-engineering the roof a bit, why is he being so stubborn about it, I mean right?
Maybe if I pass it off as a combination closet/panic room. Yeah, that’s it…..
Regarding Mr. Breitbart, I am crushed so I can only imagine how his wife and children feel. We should all live our lives with the conviction and bravery Andrew Breitbart exhibited. He stood tall for what he believed in, shouted his message from the rooftops. Some of him needs to live in all of us as we continue to hammer on what’s wrong in this country, bit-by-bit, exposing the progressive left for the destructive element that it is.
RIP Mr. Breitbart. You will be sorely missed.
I’m a sometime choreographer! I’ll choreograph your show. Call me!
(I really am a dancer and have choreographed things here and there, mostly for community theatre where the participants are not necessarily dancers….)
we are very fortunate to have you ladies in our lives. even when we disagree, you are a positive force in this world.
Linda – I’m intrigued by your vintage for work? collection. I am obsessed with vintage clothing, FYI. Do you have a business? Storefront? Website?
I’d love to know more. Off topic, but fashion sometimes takes a front seat.
Did you just call that meeting in a bar in Indy a “Chick chat”? If so great name. If not, can I say I coined it? You don’t have to put my name in lights, just a nod so that each time you reference it I can get a warm fuzzy. (works the same way as clever and competent reader tag)
And on the MN front…HELLO? MOA (not that it really lives up to the hype, but still, it’s all ours). AND I think there are probably 4-5 of us here who would LOVE to crawl through bars with you. Wait…that didn’t come out quite right.
Loved it! That was the first time I’d heard either if your voices, and I have to say, Daisy you sounded exactly the way you do in my head. Mock, your voice was much less cheerleady than I pictured, which was a pleasant surprise.
I love that Daisy is clearly the wise-ass sarcastic one, and Mick is the giggly one who laughs at just about everything…makes me happy. Thanks for the video, girls. And please do another Indy girls night…I would definitely drive out.
Jen-you’ve got some archived Ask the Chicks episodes to catch up on!!
I try constantly to teach people to cherish the people in their lives daily. You don’t know how important it is, until they are gone.
I am blessed to know that while my husband was alive he knew every day that I loved him (he used to tell me so). I made a decision to not be a nagging wife because I watched others do that…. I didn’t like it. Nobody knows the time or the hour that God will take us. He takes us in His time, not hours. Be thankful for the people in your life and treat them as if their time is near… because one of these days, you’ll be right.
My favorite quote:
“Every morning I wake up and I have two choices. I can choose to be happy, or I can choose to be unhappy. I’m not an idiot; I choose to be happy.” Norman Vincent Peale.
Have a great day everyone!! Count your blessings instead of your problems.
Linda – Just clicked your name and got your site. (Duh, Daisy….drink some more coffee….). I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. And I already see a pair of daisy earrings with my name on them.
I can give a shout-out to your site for our readers (on Facebook, etc.), if you are OK with that! I’m assuming you have a FB page?
And Diane – Amen, girl. Amen.
I sympathize that you have to share a closet with your husband. My husband’s stuff is all in the other bedroom.
And if you guys have a Chick Chat in Indy I AM SO THERE.
Yes, chick chat, please!
Diane: Totally agree. And recently I heard something that has been sticking with me… We are all just one heartbeat away from eternity.
Daisy: Speaking of vintage, I was on Etsy one night this week and since I love glass I was search through some old glass jars and bottles and when I saw two of them I immediately thought of you!! Check them out:
http://www.etsy.com/search?search_submit=&q=daisy+pint+fruit+jar&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US
They may not interest you but I love advertising stuff and when the branding is a name I like, I like it even more! In this case, you are the first person that came to mind. Even though I know your name isn’t really Daisy.
Have a blessed day!!
You guys croon soooo much better than Obama!!!
I think we need to put Daisy to work with some Hoarders!
At the very least I need to put her to work with my daughter….
After the bar crawl IndyChickChat tour, if you do get in a rented RV America 1995 Class A motorhome…..
1. Get a driver, all rock-star Chick tours have a driver, plus that keeps you safely in the back with no salt (ugh!) margaritas flowing
2. Stop a the California border. Turn around. Head back to America. California is a lost cause.
3. Head back to Vegas or Reno. Will meet you there…hehe.
TimP: California is a lost cause?
You mean like Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine…I could go on and on.
Oh and TimP you want to meet in the land that repeatedly keeps voting in Harry Reid?
You two would SO make a gazillion dollars in clubs doing Chick Chat! Years ago (1995?) a couple of moms from the San Francisco Bay Area took their friendship and laughs on the road and became very successful. They were called The Mommies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mommies
Come on, Chicks!
Margie
green eyed girl – SO THOUGHTFUL OF YOU. I’m ordering the first one IMMEDIATELY. And, FYI – I am an etsy junkie. I seriously have an addiction. I’m going to need an intervention soon, actually…..
Love love love. Thank you for passing along!!
Laurel – I get physically uncomfortable watching that show. It gives me the heebies, and I’ll be honest – I want to punch a lot of those people in the face. Not because they’re mentally ill, mind you, but because a lot of them are just plain lazy and messy and are BLAMING IT on being mentally ill. Yeah. Those people I want to punch. With gloves on, of course, followed by lots of antibacterial lotion.
Daisy: So agree. Saw a snippet of that show where people were throwing things out, and grandma was pulling stuff back out of the huge bag thing they were using,and trying to take it back into the house. It was so sad and made me a little sick. I won’t watch it. A commercial for one of those episodes showed a woman sleeping in a bed being used as a litterbox by her cat. Blech.
Also, I agree with a poster on the other video thread, these are way too short.
Daisy: Yeah after what we watched last week that was enough for me. I agree…most of them need to be punched or institutionalized.
But you rock regardless!
Laurel, can’t agree more about the lost coast. Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, what’s up with the Pacific Ocean anyway? Glad Alaska avoided this plague of weird. I’m living in the Last Days of the Late Great State of California, we’re responsible for, Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Brown, that mayor of Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, Van Jonze, the Ruckus Society, Occupy Oakland, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz…..I’m hard on my state, but really, I’m hard on the 2 concentrations of powerful population, the Bay Area and the LA basin. Get in the Central Valley, or the Sierras, or the Sacramento Valley, and you’ve got some insanely good, hardworking folk just trying to make ends meet with hard work. The good news about California? Darrell Issa and Kevin McCarthy.
And Vegas? I was just there for an industrial composite’s convention (overnight was all I could take)…Sure it sucks because of Dingy Harry, but…Laurel….it’s Vegas!.
Must admit Mock was very cute with that Musk Rat song “….candle Liiigght!” ha-ha ,that sh*t cracked me up, I can see she is quietly rocking a little voice there too. Alright Y’all keep em coming.
