Gasted Of Flabber*: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Just to clarify, the Friday pics tattoo addition won't be until the end of the month. Thanks to everyone who has sent pictures in so far.

Courtesy of Keely at The Un-Mom, kinda like Spin Cycle, but not. (I've missed the last couple of Spin's because if I'm not motivated, if I don't have an idea right away, I'll never get it done. I've already apologized to Jen. She mentioned something about Sprite kicking my ass, but I'm not worried, I could totally take Sprite.) Unfamiliar with Random Tuesday Thoughts? It's kinda self explanatory. Here we go...

I was waiting for a call from my financial advisor today because he'd received my pension package from my old job and we needed to talk about what to do with it. I carefully explained to the boys that daddy was expecting a call and to please be quiet. I'm in the back room when the call comes in. Not two minutes later Liam runs in buck naked and squealing like pig. He thought that was quite funny.

That was just before lunch. And you know what lunch means around here. Surprise!

First grilled cheese man of the new year.

Supreme Leader just walked into the room rubbing her tummy. She started saying "pleasantly" which I finished off with "plump," 'cause that's the saying, right? So very very wrong. Apparently she meant to say "pleasantly warm," referring to the sensation in her stomach after sharing a bottle of Smirnoff Ice with me. Ice. There's the key word.

"Thinking of breaking my vegetarianism if only I could find some unicorn meat. I hear it's magically delicious!"

From Dave of Blogography who recently discovered that if you use Twitter, your tweets are "not only archived in several places, but show up in Google searches as well." Who knew?

A few months back I bought some plants for our aquarium, unfortunately we also got a snail along with them. Just one. Did you know snails can reproduce asexually? Forget rabbits. It's like a plague of locusts, only slower.

Saw a rerun of Bones the other day where they were boiling a head to clean the skull off and an eyeball floats to the surface. Sorry, you're not having breakfast, are you? Anyway, this leads me to thinking of an episode of Chuck last year where Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) is fighting with... hold on...


Ahh, pig tails and gun, give me a moment. Ok. So she's fighting some other girl and in the middle of the fight sequence does a somersault revealing a thong-clad bottom. It played on the eastern networks, but once it had hit the Pacific NBC had edited it out. Dear God, America! You're going to have a new president this month, can we get over the right-wing 19th century view of nudity that's inflicted us for the last eight years? And I say 'we' because it's not just normal Americans who've suffered, think of your neighbours. Horrifically disgusting autopsy scenes are ok, but not Ms. Strahovski's backside? Ten years ago we were watching Denis Franz's naked hairy ass on NYPD Blue! It's time for a change.


Conversation with Connor before bed.

Connor: Daddy, what's a valley-um?
Me: A what?
Connor: A valley-um.
Me: Where did you hear that?
Connor: At school. Mrs. _____ said it.
(Just for you, Vodka Mom)

Wow. This so didn't work out the way I'd planned. Better to write a post in one shot rather than leaving the computer every five minutes to do something else. Well, if you made it to the end of this train wreck I'll give you your money back. What? You didn't pay? Sucker! I just ate two minutes of your day and it was delicious. *burp*

*Not mine. Stole it from Toll of the Hounds, Steven Erikson.

  3. Yay for teachers on Valley-um. I was getting ready to go to bed but now I'm afraid I'll dream of Denis and his naked hairy ass and wake up screaming. Thanks for the great mental image.

  4. snail infestation huh?
    that super sucks.
    i shouldn't tell you that the only way we got rid of them was to move and empty the entire tank, should i?
    good luck with that ...

  5. So, what did Supreme Leader do to you after you made that horrible mistake??

    ReplyDelete
  6. Sprite says that if you make her a grilled cheese man, she'll forgive you. Don't take on the Sprite, man. She fights dirty!

  7. Hooray for grilled cheese man!
    Hooray for thong-wearing superchicks doing somersaults!

    Although I think I was looking down at that exact moment, darn it!

  11. Never ever say plump around a woman. Unless...no not then either.

  17. Really, snails are invading your aquarium? You can sell them on Craig's List and make a mint!

    *sigh* No one ever makes me a grilled cheese man.

    ReplyDelete
  18. you mean we didn't have to pay?? damn. i feel ripped off.. and a little stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Vodka Mom's got 'em all on valium, while she whoops it up with the vodka.

    ReplyDelete
  20. For the record, I'm not gay but I would totally switch for Sarah from Chuck. Have you seen her speak in an interview? She sounds so funny with her Australian accent.
    I made it through to the end and I dug the randomness that is your life. Squealing naked kids is just good comedy.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Aaaaaand that is why I live on the east coast. We cherish our hot naked ass on network TV, thankyouverymuch!
    PS- Her blouse is like, totally unbuttoned! (Um, I have a feeling you already noticed that.)

  22. 'Forget rabbits. It's like a plague of locusts, only slower.'

    HAHAHAHAHAH! Nice.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Damn, you crack me up. Magically delish uni meat. MMMM. And Connor, me thinks you and Ms. ____ would get along peachily.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I like the randomness....I think we all can relate.

    ReplyDelete
  25. So you're right, scenes of tortue
    and every other kind of sick
    crime is ok for the tube. But
    Lord protect us from seeing a
    naked body. I mean the body isn't really anything new, they've been around awhile. Up here in "snow
    to our butt" valley, we need clothes. In summer it keeps us from sunburn, other than that they just hides lumps and bumps.

    Dennis Leary, nah, no thanks.

    Also, did you know it was against all natures laws for children to be loud when you are on the phone!

    Keep the faith, spring will come and they can go outside for more than 10 minutes
    m.

  26. Random comment: have you noticed that you can't call one of those voice recognition numbers at the bank when there are kids at the house?

  27. Watched Chuck on DVD so didn't miss out on the 'GOOD' Stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Bones, grilled Cheese and ponytails! I knew I liked you!

    ReplyDelete
  29. YAY! Grilled cheese is back baby!
    I love random Tuesdays.

  30. Shit, is he in my class?? IS HE?????

    No, that would have been VODKA.


    I laughed out LOUD.

    And thank GOD you served up a grilled cheese man- I was having a damn craving.........

    ReplyDelete
  31. mmmm...I'd eat me some grilled cheese man! BONES and CHUCK are my 2 favorite shows. HA!

    ReplyDelete
  32. good golly I love Yvonne Strahovski but I am restricted from saying so because "Lois" thinks she looks like an old girlfriend of mine... I'm luck even get to watch Chuck.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I would like to see some people in a new food please. like say popsicle carvings. Maybe bagel men? Are you taking requests?

    ReplyDelete
  34. That was a fun post. Although now I can't remember anything except the valium part cause I can totally relate to that.

    Does that make me pathetic?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh no, this worked out just fine. Just fine, indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I adore Liam. J would have done the same thing. I'm talking exactly the same thing. But he probably would have blurted out something about poop, or perhaps some profanity, just to really embarass me. Kids!

    You're fortunate SL didn't kill you on the spot for that error. :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Pleasantly plump? Have you no sense of self-preservation?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Soooo...not all of us want to see a thong-clad woman's butt. Just an FYI.

    Also, I hope your wife thumped you for that comment and I don't mean in a sexual way. Just smacked you.

    You would have deserved it. :-)

Come on, sailor. I love you long time.
