That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My uncle Phil always introduces my aunt May (no, really) as his ::first:: wife, to keep her on her toes. Of course, they have been married like 25 years and she just rolls her eyes 4evah.

When people tell my mom that she's too young for children in their 40's, she likes to say that they are my dad's by his first wife. She just neglects to mention that she IS his first wife. Cracks me up every single time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And I was just grousing to my minion about the lack of close, cheap Indian at current workplace. Feh.

Heh. I live just off Devon (aka the Sari Strip).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My dad always called my mom his bride, which I found rather charming.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, I'm glad your dad's not an asshole. My HS bio teacher, on the other hand, was a grade-A jerk, and I had an even lower tolerance for that kind of humor then than I do now.

Oh, I totally get the thing where you hate a person for a ton of reasons, so you hate everything they do.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It wasn't even a bad week for me. Just long. And now I'm stuck on the Friday afternoon stretch on the help desk, which is almost always dull. Hence the tag change. Images of a Barney parody getting clobbered with an anvil is at least bringing me a small amount of amusement right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think the week should be beaten with sticks....

Concur. Let the week-beating begin!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My father just calls his wife by her name. Or he calls her our mother. She does him the parallel favour.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. I live just off Devon (aka the Sari Strip

My cat is a Devon Rex, so I have this weird association between cats and Indian food in my mind....

This is one of the game options on the Animaniacs computer game, btw. Emmett was just playing it this weekend. Every time the faux Barney gets clonked with an anvil he giggle gurgles "Whoa ho ho, that hurts!"

I have not liked this week. I need a weekend like last weekend, and for next week to be healthier and less work-annoying than this one.
