'Potential'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
There was a Girl Scout outside the grocery store this evening. I didn't have a lot of cash on me, so I bought one box of my favorite, Samoas, which sent my husband into a plaintive, mournful cry of "Thin Mints" when I came home. (He's not a big fan of anything with coconut.)
Incidentally, Plei, I saw your husband on campus today, but just waved and said hi because I was rushing to make a bus connection.
that's too funny. I once greeted a box of Thin Mints with a plaintive cry of, "samoas".
tooooooo much wine, possibly too much fun. I never believed in such things when I was 20. almost 45 is different. I may have killed an entire weekend in one night. the cat is confused, he has no idea why we can't head to bed yet.I love Matt's friday night gig, but it might kill me.
omnis, I love Gabriel Iglesias! His Comedy Central special is really funny, and I saw him live last year. He does such fantastic voices.
man I still haven't seen a girl scout. I need samoas!
Initially I read this as samosas, and was baffled. (Well, no - approving, because, yay samosas! But also bemused, because girl guides don't normally make me think of samosas.)
Upon rereading, I have concluded that samoas must be coconut biscuits, though.
...really, I cannot adequately express my disappointment in the UK Guiding Organisation for their failure to do this whole biscuit-selling thing.
Fay, we were talking about this at work. One of the electricians is from UK. She was like "I was all for it, until I learned that the girls don't actually bake the cookies. Fuck that!". I guess it was funnier the way she said it. But it was an interesting discussion of Girl Guides vs Girl Scouts.
omnis, I love Gabriel Iglesias! His Comedy Central special is really funny, and I saw him live last year. He does such fantastic voices.His woman voices. UNCANNY. But it was funny!
OK, I'm off to bed. Really. Promise.
Fay, this is a Samoa (also called a Caramel deLite in some places): [link]
They KICK ASS. So. Fucking. Good.
I haven't seen any girl scouts this year. I'll have to ask Mom if any of the girls at her school are selling them when she gets back from Florida. I love both thin mints and somoas, can't choose between them.
I honestly don't know if I would be able to forgive someone for doing that to me. I could forgive someone backing out or telling me that they couldn't do it or even forgetting it...but I don't think I could forgive outright lies that led to me missing an opportunity.
I'm struggling with that quite a bit. He's been a great friend in the past; however, this is the 3rd time in a year he's screwed something up. The first 2 times he backed out of something and now he just forgot something extremely important, at least to me it's important. The last few years have been crappy for him (his father died, his wife had an affair, he got divorced). I can't keep making excuses for him, though. This time he really messed up in a major way.
I'm kicking myself. My friend wanted to do this for me. He ASKED me if he could do this! I had several other people I could have asked (ND was one of the tops on the list) and I gave this guy the chance and he might have screwed me over.
