>Snippets, Vol. 2
>-Dumbest exhange ever:
Successful Executive (to my husband and me, after we’d gotten engaged): So, I hear you’re getting married in Scotland. Have you set a date?
Hubs: Yes, July 4th.
Successful Executive: July 4th, eh? Wow. I guess you scheduled it so there’d be fireworks there afterward.
Me: No, there won’t be any fireworks.
Successful Executive: Why not?
Me: Because it’s in Scotland.
Successful Executive: (dubious silence)
Me: …They don’t celebrate the Fourth of July in Scotland.
Successful Executive: They don’t? Huh.
-I love the handicapped sign beside the word verification in my comments section. Every time I get a particularly difficult string of letters, I hit that button, but so far, I haven’t gotten any help…
-My friend Tim (whom you might remember from this post) wrote this not long ago and I laughed my head off. As I remember, he was nearly arrested during our college days for shanking a man outside Jittery Joes in broad daylight, so his story is not as surprising to me as you might imagine.
-Sometimes when I mean to type a smiley face like this 🙂 it comes out like this instead :))
Then I quickly fix it, because I don’t want people to think I have a double chin.
This picture was sent to me by the lovely author of the blog known as Sitting Still, after she read my Little Merskank post. Ostensibly, this Ariel doll blows bubbles. But I think she might blow a few other things, too.
No wonder I got a Google search for Little Mermaid boner yesterday.
-I’m having lunch with Busy Mom tomorrow and I can’t wait! I haven’t seen her since soccer season ended. Woo hoo!
>Yes, Ariel seems to have that “other things” shaped mouth. Wonder if she does shots, too, the hussy.
>you funny grasshopper.did you know that Ariel is actually based on Allysa Milano? No sh*tting yea. That’s me, full of stupid triva learned from too many days of being unable to find a damn job.
>LMFAO @ the double chin laughing.. but i would do the same thing! HA!!!i love the idiot exec.
>You had a Jittery Joe’s? Where you are, or the one in Athens, GA? I used to go to JJ in Athes ALL THE TIME, I even had the sticker on my car. It was two doors down from the Forty Watt, and oh, I have so many good memories there.
>Dude, I laughed so hard at all of this, I really did.
>JRM, are you SERIOUS? I LIVED at Jittery Joes. I hung out with everyone who worked there. Wait. WHO ARE YOU?
>Ah yes… The Little Merskank … She should not be an honorary member of the Disney Princess Club. The others … they can hold their own. But any woman who is willing to give up her VOICE … what an idiot. She obviously wasn’t thinking about the future … all that nagging for Eric to take out the trash … telling him to get his dirty boots off the coffee table … what a twit.
>Summer of ’96, there were four of us. We were in almost nightly. Bought Drum and hand rolled our smokes… Me (skinny brunette), Thomas (cubby blonde), Tony (long haired brunette) and Mary (short haired blonde).Then each couple got pregnant, and we fell apart.
>We’re going to have fun!!
>I would bring my computer and liveblog it, Busy Mom, but I think that would be over the top.JRM, I was in Washington that summer doing an internship. I graduated in December of 96. That was my least-loafingest time, though, because I was finishing up and trying to be all newsy. Still, I bet we knew some of the same people! Small world!
>Wow, you just can’t get away from that slut the little mermaid, can you? And who’s this idiot who thinks there’s gonna be fireworks in Scotland! HELLOOOO! Fourth of July, American Independence. Not Scottish! Did they ever have independence, even to this day?
>Oh, wait, maybe I was thinking of the Irish! That damn brogue they have always confuses me!
>Double chins?? (LMAO. :))And that IS the dumbest exchange ever. Doesn’t it suck when you find out that dumb people make more money than you?
>Dare I say that I watched fireworks on the forth of July in St. Andrews, Scotland. They had them for Americans staying at a hotel there. We were living there at the time and walked across the West sands to watch them.Not too many people showed up, though. Still, it was a dumb ass comment for the executive.
>Wow, that exec is really going places, huh? Say hey to Busy Mom for us!! Oh wait, I can go do that myself!
>HA HA! She is a Merskank. Double chin smiley. HA HA. Yeah, that handicapped sign doesn’t do anything.
>Altogether a hilarious post! RE:Successfull exec. Sadly, some of the smartest and most successful people I know have no common sense whatsoever.
>Ariel just likes to play that damsel in distress thing. The slut!My husband has a thing for Kida from Disney’s Atlantis which is fine because I think Milo is hot in the cute geeky way.
>OK, is it wrong that the Little Mermaid gets me a little hot? Especially if she’s wearing a Catholic schoolgirl skirt with fishnets.Is it just me?
>Ariel’s body was half way up my screen when my daughter walked by and SCREAMED: Mommy! What’s the Little Mermaid doing on your computer?!?! She’s sooooo beautiful!Thanks. A. Lot. 😉
>gosh, ya’ll, mermaids are sort of people, too!
