Oh, expletives can have positive connotations as well as negative, otherwise comedians wouldn’t use them so very much. They just depend on your point of reference.
What sort of neighbor-“hood” you reside in, literally as well as mentally.
I’m sure mommy and daddy warbucks are gonna offer more than just living arrangement suggestions. Rye’s gonna be hearing wedding bells ringing the moment he steps off his plane, and will be making a return trip in no time at all. Maybe he’ll be generous and pick up Randie and nice book or English mag at an airport concession on his way back.
I don’t particularly care for the expletives in humor… as far as stand-ups go. It requires less clever-ness on the part of the comedian. It’s a cheap laugh. I do like Eddie Izzard (as I am sure I’ve mentioned before, and he used a lot of “f” words in “Dress to Kill.” Somehow, when a Brit says it… it sounds… hmmmm…. different.
Ahhhh… Mum and Dad will be fun.
Welcome, Goeber…. My dad certainly had “choice words.”
Nice to have you back. Will look back at your belated replies in a moment. Family may have me making a Monterey trip in the coming week. Should 1st Friday fit in, I’ll be sure to stop by and hopefully say hi to Joe as well. So, a week ago or so, you mentioned dark choc dipping a variety of goodies for the upcoming cartoonery open house. Any of them pass the test of time and still around? I tried looking for chocolate covered bacon over the net for your area, since I mentioned it. Apparently there’s a place on the boardwalk (too far?) and Whole Foods is supposed to have some premium milk choc version of it at an equally premium price (really? premium and milk choc, together?). Anyhow, plan on seeing some if I make it to town.
Can I scream in someone’s ear?
I get to the train station two hours early to find that the train bteween Minnesota and Oregon has been cancelled due to a derailment west of Minot, ND(North Dakota)!
I’m back home and checking on flights to see if I can still salvage the Portland to Salinas part of the trip.
Joe… AAaaaa! Nasty weather strikes… and….parts of Salinas got snow! No kid! The temps are REALLY cold! It’s Canada’s fault! (no offense, my Canadian readers…) That weather system came right down from the north with a big ol’ Canuck sucker punch! Snow… in Salinas! Stay safe, Joe… and roll with the sucker punches.
Okay, Stick… (thanks for the welcome back… it’s nice to BE back).
I admit that I am intending to serve some Girl Scout thin mints at First Friday… because I LOVE them. As to what else is on tap?… I am not certain… But I will not disappoint you, I promise.
And yes, Joe… you could’ve been on a derailed train… THere’s a blessing in there somewhere.

Dad’s tend to do that. 🙂

Ps. I answered comments from yesterday, y’all. Sorry for the delay.

Homemade, anyone?

Joe,
I hear you. Ouch.
There is the bright side, you know.
You could have been on that derail in freezing-cold Minot.
