Married Conversations: You'll Have to Answer to Your Own

UIM: "Sorry for stressing you out."
Frage: (deadpan blatant lie) "You don't stress me out.  My shoulders like to live up here by my ears."

Married Conversations: Go running for the shelter

Frage: "I did ask my doc to call in a scrip for Flonase, but I never heard back from them.  CVS just texted me I have a filled scrip.  I hope it's the Flonase."
UIM: "It would be weird if it was for something you never had filled before.  'We see you're married to UIM.  Would you like some Valium?' "
Frage: "Yes.  I'm going to sneak it into his food."
UIM: (mimicking mouth full) "This pizza tastes funny"
Frage: (narrator voice) "Which did not stop him from having 5 more slices."
UIM: (commercial voice, mimics holding up a product) "It's the Xanax crust!"  (wide fake smile)

Where do I go from here to a better feed than this?"

Married conversations: Case by case, we understand each other better

(As I load the items in the iGo car with items to put in storage...)
Frage: "Is that a guitar case?" (with the previous knowledge that we had ditched our respective guitars at various move times....)
UIM: "It's a rifle case with a Nerf sword in it."
(Long pause while UIM puts the rest of the boxes in the iGo car.)
UIM: "I understand the loop playing in your head: 'Why do I even ask him?', 'Why do I even ask him?', 'Why do I even ask him?' ..."

The most useless dice I own

I will always be too lazy to make this my epitaph...

 He has gone where
short-sighted management
and over-confident developers
may lacerate his heart no more.
He served maintainable systems.
Traveler, imitate him if you dare.

Nostalgia: I audio-taped this very performance from Bill Boggs' Comedy Tonight when it aired in the early morning hours on channel 5 (WNEW). [We didn't have a VCR yet.]

Something better than a stare....


 


 

Ominous cloud, little house.

I don't know how I came here tonight... I got the feeling that something ain't right....










"You're All a Bunch of WEIRDOS!"

 

Yes, if I bought this, I would absolutely paint the body to look like Sam the (American) Eagle, with over-the-top red-white-and-blue on his wings.

Aw, one of `em got loose again...


 

I'm really bad at getting pictures up in a timely manner.

Although, technically, this shirt is accurate any day of the year.

Enthusiastic nonsense, memed.

 It's the futhark era....



Unrepressed sarcasm, memed.

And sometimes, the sarcasm goes unrepressed...

If you have a problem, memed

If you have a problem....




A sentence I have spoken, memed.

My mom used to say...


Repressed Anger, memed

"Hearing her voice....


Exit, stage-thump, memed.

Exit, stage-thump


Para-nerds, memed.

Mea culpa...


 

Be careful...


 

I'm your one-stop shop...


 

I'm not trying to...



 

I'm trying to be social...


 

When you want to say....


 

Not an acceptable technique...


 

Yes, there was a point...


 

How can I...


 

Respect

 


Ommm


 

When you're on the bleeding edge...


 

Set in stone?


 

Your business depends...

(


I couldn't decide...)

Self-recognition


 

My faith...


 

We not only pay...


 

I'm just going to sit here...


 

... so I can explain exactly ...
