Random Tuesday: Ceci n'est pas une lune

Because Canada is a bi-lingual nation.


You'll either get that or you won't.

randomtuesday

Holy Hannah Banana, Batman! Has it really been two weeks since I've done a Random Tuesday? No, has it? I'm not really sure. Whatever, let's roll.

My Mom got in a car accident this weekend. She was waiting to make a left and a lady in an SUV pulling a U-Haul rear ended her. After hitting Mom and pushing her car forward, the SUV pulled a hard right to keep out of oncoming traffic and messed up the car's front end as well. Just cause my Mom has that kind of luck. Oh, and On-Star, why did my Mom have to push the button and get ahold of you?


The lovely Miss Grace got this over the weekend. How cool is that? If I didn't already have my back done...


Stop squinting. It's from this.


Geeze louise, it's like I need Cole's notes.

When Supreme Leader left for work yesterday, Connor was upstairs. He blew her a kiss and told her, "a thousand hearts are coming out of my kiss." He's good. He's very good.

Ten songs iTunes played while writing this:

Oh, wait, there weren't any. GIVE ME BACK MY DATA, BACK UP DRIVE!!!

No, no, I'm good. Really. Go on over to Keely's. Enjoy the carnage.


PS. My Mom is fine. Sure it may take the kids awhile to get used to her bionic head, but they're young, they adapt well.

  1. That tattoo is incredible, is she getting it colored in? My sister is covered, I have none cause I'm a huge chicken.

  2. "You either get that or you don't"????

    You serious? You flippin' language snob.

    OK, fine:

    Tumi pagal ar ami jabo, Cap'n!!

  4. Miss Grace's tat and your tat rival each other on coolness

  5. Holy crap! That tat had to hurt like a mo-fo. I have a tiny christian fish on my foot (just in case marking your body IS wrong, like my mother harps, I figure I'm covered...) and I bitched for like a week about how badly it hurt!!

    Connor: That kid is gonna go places (likely without you though, after he reads this blog)

  6. Wait, what are Cole's notes? Some dude named Cliff writes them all here in the US. Maybe they're related?

  8. I'll bet your back is adorned with Tom and Jerry. I'm right, right?

  9. haha @ Mo!

    But really, she had to push the button? According to their commercials, they alert all firefighters, police, and paramedics within a 50 mile radius when you crash!

  10. I think I'm going to enjoy the French/Benglai banter that will go on between the Cap'n and Miss Braja. I won't understand shit but I'm gonna enjoy all the same!

  11. that tat is awesome!!!!!
    Glad your mom is okay, I had some mom issues over the weekend too...no fun

    ReplyDelete
  12. But, of course, you speak fluent Bengali, don't you?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I don't know what it means, but all of a sudden I'm a bit turned on.

    Damn the Language of Love!

    (glad to see your mom is doing well - nice On-Star.)

  14. Wait, you guys don't call them Cliff's Notes? Canadians! humpf!
    (Kidding!)
    Glad to hear your mom is okay. Looks like a nasty accident. :(

  17. それは月でわありません。

    Bilingual that, mofo!

    Of course I haven't taken lessons in months so it's probably wrong, but I'm proud of my ability to screw up in two languages.

  18. Your son is brilliant. But then again apple trees don't grow oranges. It's in the gene pool daddy!

  19. That back Tattoo is wicked!!!!

    You also forgot to mention that our mother crawled out the passenger door to console the crying lady that hit her!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think my mom has a bionic head sometimes. She can talk SO MUCH I dont know how she fuckin breathes! lol

    ReplyDelete
  21. Very cool tattoo!!
    The On-Star commercials clearly show that you will hear from them if you get in an accident!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That tattoo ROCKS!!!!!!!

    I WANT IT!!!

    oh. and I get it. Did you even have to ask?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ok, I understand it, but I don't get the joke. I must be slower than the average Canadian.

    As for the tatoo, the only one I've ever seen even come close to that cool was on a piano mover. He had Edward Gorey's Gashleycrumb Tiny's on his back.

  24. About the Death Star en Franceis: Whuh?
    About the tattoo: Ouch
    About your mom's auto accident: Hope she feels better and hope the other guy's insurance has good BI.

  25. The tat is awesome! Happy to hear your mom is ok. Nice to have you back participating in RTTs... we missed you... well, at least I did.

    My BFF's kids tell me all the time, "Tata, I love you more than I love myself." Teach him that one!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ceci n'est pas une comment.

    That tattoo is insane. In a good way.

    Hope your mom is OK!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Whoa! I just came from your sis's and heard about the accident. But now that I've seen the car pic-- yikes! That shit is SCARY. Glad she is well!

    The tat pic looks painful~~~ and that's putting it mildly........Wah! I'm a baby.

    ReplyDelete
  28. And how long does it take to get a tat that large and intricate, anyway?? Who the hell has that kinda time?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow that is some tattoo. Very different. I am not in to tats but that so fascinates me.

    ReplyDelete
  30. That tattoo is amazing! My friend has his whole back done too - a fire dragon starting on his arm and covering half his back and a sea serpent on the other arm crossing over to cover the other half of his back - he's braver than I am lol.
    And I'm glad to hear your mum is doing ok; I'm sure the bionic head just needs breaking in!

    ReplyDelete
  31. No, it's not a moon. It's a small space station because that short-range TIE fighter couldn't be that far out on it's own and WTF happened to Alderaan?

    Oh. Sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ditto on the Tat. Cool, or should I say 'Wild'?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oui, je sais. C'est Le Death Star.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm glad your mom is ok cuz that car is messed up.

    Ouch, that tattoo still looks pretty raw but I knew instantly what that was from, one of the best childrens books ever.

    ReplyDelete
  35. That tat rocks. I'd never do it but I can definitely admire it. Watch that boy of yours. He's going to show you up.

    ReplyDelete
  36. wow, that takes some nads to get a tattoo that HUGE!

    i wanted to gouge out the tattoo guy's eyeballs when he was doing my wrist.

    andy:)

    p.s. glad mom is okay...wish i had onstar.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Glad to hear your mom is fine.

    Jenny's tattoo is awesome! I've thought about getting a much smaller one, but I don't know what of and my aging and sagging skin is telling me it might not be a good idea anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  38. That is a wicked cool tattoo. You know, Captain, you inspired me with your tom-tattoery and I got one myself when I was in Phoenix last week! Yes, I did on my ass. I don't know how you endured the 30 days and nights of torture on your back! Pain must be your friend.

  39. greeting from your "Bionic Mom"
    Whee, it's fun to be able to move
    your head in a 360 degree circle,
    a little dizzy at times, but worth it.
    Hurray, we got a courtesy car today, now we just have to bite our nails waiting to see if car is written off or the million $ fix up.
    By the way, too cool tattoo. If my
    skin was younger, I'd get one.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Come on! Now I have to go dig up my hs French book and dust it off. Show off.
    I'm glad your Mom is ok, but if I didn't know that, I would guess a hospital visit or worse looking at that car.
    Your Mom has a sense of humor, doesn't she? Bionic head?
    That tattoo is a work of art. I won't get a tattoo, too chicken, but that doesn't mean I can't admire them. That hurt though, didn't it?
    Connor is going to grow up to be a ladies man. I just have a feeling.
    Cole's Notes = Cliff Notes?
    Lovely, OnStar.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wow. That tattoo is brilliant! And who cares if your back is already taken? I bet we could come up with another spot for it. Like wrapped around your thigh. (Oh, Lordy, wouldn't that smart on the inner part, though. *sharp intake of breath*) What about the derriere? What about a mini-version on the back of your neck?

    Alright, enough. Your son IS really good. I felt my hear melt just a little at his words. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Glad Mom is okay, that tattoo looks incredibly painful and you're son has some serious game. So young and already the perfect ladies man.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh your poor mom! Glad she's OK - what's up with OnStar??

    Cool tat - apparently I wasn't brave (or cool) enough to have my whole back done, just one shoulder blade. ;) Wait - did I miss a post about you having your back done?? LOL at mo - Tom and Jerry? ;)

    I'm with Casey - who's Cole?

    Happy RTT a day late! :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Holy crap that looks like it might hurt, but is wicked cool. Crap, my five years of French have failed me. Stupid US education system. I's don't know wut it sez.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'll be she had to sit still a long time to get that one done. Maybe someone could tattoo your mom a new wheel for her car.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I got it immediately. My husband would love that one.

    And my son is obsessed with Where the Wild Things Are. But I don't think I'll get the ink just yet... Next week it might be Curious George again.

    ReplyDelete
  47. My crappy French pulls through! That's funny.

    Wicked Tat! I stopped over at Grace's and told her so. Thanks for sharing that one.

    Happy to hear your Mom is okay! Did she get a bionic eye too, or just head?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Who was the genius that thought that a big round moon would be an imposing galactic weapon?! LMAO!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I want a bionic head! No fair. Glad she's okay though.

    "Getting" that doesn't make you a bilingual snob, just a bilingual NERD.

    ReplyDelete
  50. 53 comments NICE!! Did you see that hollywood made a movie out of the "where the wild things are" I am curious what kind of review it gets. It looks kinda blah.

    And ON STAR DID NOT CALL FOR YOUR MOM!!!! This is awful

    ReplyDelete
  51. That tattoo is totally worth all those angry red blotchy patches. Let the wild rumpus start.

    Glad your mom was okay, that's the second car accident I read about today. Thank goodness for that bionic head technology.

    ReplyDelete
  52. She's the queen of all wild things!

    Glad your mom is o.k. but yikes! Scary!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yeah, if you want OnStar to actually DO anything, you have to pay extra for that. So, I hope you didn't install Onstar in your Mom's new bionic head - you went with LoJack, right?

    ReplyDelete
  54. That tattoo is wicked and your kid made me swoon because of what he said! Can he teach mine?!

    ReplyDelete
  55. That's no moon! That's a freakin cratered car. Jeez ... good to hear your mom's alright.

    the thousand hearts, fookin' priceless!

    blessings!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I got a tattoo of my face on my chest, that way if somebody ever cuts my head off, they will still be able to identify me without having to get fingerprints...

    ReplyDelete
  57. That is so cool! And looks so painful....I've never seen a new tattoo (I don't think) it's so red. How long would something that big take and is she going to get it colored??

    ReplyDelete

Come on, sailor. I love you long time.
