lol. my text meltdown was never seen, since she ruined her phone. instead she got a fairly reasonable fb messenger exchange.

you should post the transcript here.........you know, for our amusement.

 

[Osaurus]

I have a funny story about Port I might share...might

 

[DA RAIDERS]

it cool, keep it to yourself

 

[El Floppo]

I was not drunk.

But maybe, just maybe, my phone won the night.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

"Plop 'n bake" sound gross to anyone else?

Just me?

 

[Ignoramus]

I can even begin to figure out what word you were going with here.

Rhymes with anoos.

 

[GroveDiesel]

So my buddy's daughter was super sick last night because she has Celiac and accidentally ingested some gluten somehow. I was curious enough to do some research and it turns out that my wife has like 90% of the possible Celiac symptoms. There even seems to be a link between Celiac and MS (which my wife also has).

This would not go over well. My wife is the Carb Queen.

 

[krista4]

Krista's making me sad. I thought people who didn't have kids just hung out in the house naked every Monday night. I mean, WTF? I can pet a homeless cat and make cookies on a random weekday. I never would, but I COULD.

Oh, we were naked all right. That's why it felt kind of creepy to be circling the parking lot.

Should be fun when she gets her new phone and all those messages get delivered.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I like port or bourbon or a nice sambuca in lieu of dessert at a restaurant too!

I assume all of them call me out as a drunk, but probably a fancy drunk.

Yes. And out of a decanter.

That is pretty fancy.

I've been meaning to ask - do you actually own a parrot?

No, I was at a wedding on Saturday where a guy brought his parrot.

I was on an island on Lake Superior...my wife's family has a place there and we go fairly often. So when locals have weddings and stuff we are frequently invited. There's a guy on the island that has a parrot that will show up from time to time at outdoor events or the outdoor bar. Just about everyone on the island has a goofy pic with that parrot on their shoulder it seems like.

Decided to sneak into my daughter's archery class after work tonigh so I could see my little Merida in action. There's 8 kids in the class, four targets setup in the cafeteria. So they rotate between coloring at the lunch table and taking turns shooting six arrows at targets about 20 feet away. These kids are all 1st graders. The "teacher" is college student who works for the Afterschool 3 hours a day. She is bouncing between four kids/targets with two on each side of a 3'x3' beam (e.g. when she's on one side she can't see the other two kids).

Now I grew up country and if you had a BB gun or a bow (sometime between 6 and 9), first thing you went down to DNR range with your buddies to learn hunter safety. You just didn't get to use your gun or bow until you knew what you were doing. And 45 years later I can still hear Mr. Miller: "Always always ALWAYS think about where you are pointing, your gun/bow is DOWN RANGE. It is never off to the side or behind you..."

I look over and the two boys beside Chloe are loading up their bow sideways. Thankfully they don't draw until they are kinda sorta pointed toward the target. Around then I realized Chloe is pushing her now string. Wait, wat...**fling*** tink tink tink tink. She was holding the bow BACKWARDS and literally shot the arrow over her shoulder, 180 out from the target. Thankfully no one behind. The harried Afterschool aide was oblivious. I picked up the arrow. "Hey, is it OK if I work with my daughter a bit? OK thanks."

I'll be leaving work an hour early next week to volunteer for the archery class.

Have to admit I'm disappointed the cheesehead and foolio crowd didn't weigh in here.

Related: I may have to order safety glasses/goggles for the archery class. Somebody got a link to a bowhunter supplies website?

Do they need to be that specific? We got the ones we use for shooting at Home Depot.

That just need to prevent arrows from entering the eye socket. We actually have a Home Depot by the Flatiron on 23rd Street, I'll start there.

So it's okay to bring parrots to weddings?!!

This wedding featured:

-Aforementioned Parrot

-Ping-Pong (and me gambling on ping-pong...down $5)

-A pair of lesbianed DJs who are super cool

-Bath tubs outside filled with beer

-Trips to the street to drink fireball directly from a 1.75L (killed it)

-Girl that drank fireball with us being unable to walk, but somehow not passed out (had to carry her to vehicle and into her room/bed - I was a gentleman)

-Then...it all moved to the bar

I don't want to be at a wedding that won't let me drink with a parrot on my shoulder.

My parrot is usually my "plus one" unless I decide to bring the boa constrictor.

Exactly how I would have imagined it.

We have a multi-parrot owner in my building. But these are 20-something year old birds losing their feathers, not let's go to the bar birds. He likes to take them to Central Park to hang out at the Sheep Meadow.

I'm getting my hair cut, which means I'm reading trashy magazines, which means I just learned that Mariah Carey spends $46,000 a year on spa getaways...for her eight dogs.

Hard to understand how so many celebrities go broke.

 

[El Floppo]

There's a thread for it... but I'm too lazy to find it.

Kids, right? They say stuff.

fer instance... 3yo Floppinha as taken to saying "whobody" lately. "whobody ate my cupcake!" match that with this face, and welcome to just how tightly wrapped around her little finger she has me.

7yo Floppinho, out of the blue marched into our room and said to my wife- "stop wasting my potential"- and then marched back out. he's older, and not as cute, so screw him.
