seven

More of the same, some more of that and then some redundancy scattered about.  To mix things up I watched the woman from housekeeping mop the floor. I said good-bye, nodded acknowledgement that the floor was now slippery, put my slippers on and very aggressively did an impression of an ungulate on a frozen pond.  Finale: bashing my knee open, filling PJ pant leg with platelet-skim blood.  Had to explain myself to no fewer than 6 separate stethoscopes. Good news is no more fever.  Save the one Dr Girvin gives me sans stethoscope (unless playing doctor.)

Moral of the story: dont own slippers, do own stethoscopes.

We got each other and that's a lot for love—we'll give it a shot.  Post other excellent JBJ lines to comments.

  1. Now I don’t feel so bad for being the only dumbass in the group this morning. After a few rounds of 90lb dumbbell farmer carries, I decided to move the barbell from the rack, in order to make room for some pull ups. I seriously underestimated how little I could rely on my forearms at this point. No biggie. Turns out, I can now catch a 45lb bar with just my two big toes, well, and with a little help from the knuckle directly behind the big toe. No breaks, no blood, just some pretty shades of purple. You know, just like the feet on the 318lb lady, with stage 7 diabetes, hoover-round-bound, cruising the frozen pizza isle in the wal-mart. That color. PaPa always said “if you gone be light on brains, needs to be heavy on muscles.”

    Anyway. My JBJ goes….
    There's a whiskey bottle empty sittin' on the bar. Billy get your guns

  2. So the cure for boredom was imitating Brian Boitano? You have three internet sources at your fingertips, nothing else you could think of to pass the time? I've heard if a few websites if that will help.

  4. Will try to locate: Also this: My daughter met a new friend today. She tried putting a saucer on Mirany's head; she dissented (wonderful use of semi-colon). Tried again, Mirany shoved her. Counter-smash to the face with the saucer. Later, with rules of dominance established, they shared Goldfish. Fight, always fight. "It's all the same, only the names have changed..."

  6. Transcending any virtue I can name, I give you:
    (since you're all #@$%ed up, Potter, this might actually make sense to you)


    Misery likes company
    I like the way that sounds
    I've been trying to find the meaning
    So I can write it down

    Starin' out the window
    It's such a long way down
    I'd like to jump
    But I'm afraid to hit the ground

    I can't write a love song the way I feel today
    And I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
    Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
    I sing this song to you, wherever you are
    As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

  9. Nice work on the knee....jackass!

    I picture it in slow motion with background music.....

  10. wow, so the bar;s been set considerably lower than previously thought. a John B. J. cut/paste is all it takes to render the dilaudid-ed one speechless?

    Kelly, I can't; in good conscience stand opposed to the j. mayer beef, and the cat thing was an easy pile-on. i'm lazy like that.

    CJ, sorry to hear about the knee. Pics? all in favor..."you gotta raise your hands!"

    2. Kinda wishing I was there to poke it and ask him if it hurts...

    3. I'm gonna be a girl here and say I do not want photos of the injury.

      re:the cut and paste, I liked each line better than the last, and then I liked the movement of the whole (into the outer reaches of frostedhairspraybrain) even better than the parts. If SeePotts was too easily impressed, let that balance one of his hardass moments (rare I'm sure).

    I think he already did.

    Now, are all kissing each other's asses? Post the pics. Cats don't suck; they just are. Angry little beasts, but they know who they need. Whose CIP? I've got Ativan, and happen to be out of work since December. Let's discuss.

  13. Potter Keep away from the houseKeepers.


    "I ain't got a fever got a permanent disease
    It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
    I got lots of money but it isn't what I need.....
    I don't need no needle
    To be giving me a thrill
    And I don't need no anesthesia
    Or a nurse to bring a pill(maybe some Ativan)

    Shake it up, just like bad medicine"...OR is it Magic Mouthwash??????

  15. Uh, calling out JAZ for a mucked up forgery. Don't know much about the Bon Jon, but I'll place my bet he does NOT possess the skills of improvisating.*

    Fear is the beginning of wisdom people; CJP and General Sherman have preceeded us in glaring down that black alley.**

    *note improvisational word form
    **note semicolon

  16. Exhibit Final:

    Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off-then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

  17. it's "fear of the Lord..."

    does a "call out" (new term to me) just mean poking fun? if not i'm confused.

    31 comments today, alright.

    i'm actually feeling a touch grim in the mouth, thankfully will be at sea on fri. taking sea bass orders now!
