my proof of this is that my grandmother came to thanksgiving AND christmas dinner totally wasted on valium wearing all black and sunglasses (she used to be a model! she's very jackie o.) and she also squeezed my friends head and said 'you look like brad pitt! thank god there's two of them'. and then fell asleep on the couch with a gin and tonic.

everyone else has better holiday stories than me. my relatives are so very rarely that cool.

 

[minxnim]

well, i guess she sort of has to be like this to make up for the years in my early childhood where she used to tell me stories about suicides and totally ruined my life, ya know? gotta have a balance.

for x-mas, my uncles (dad's side) went in the basement and had a putting tourny... while they smoked pot.

I can't wait to be old. I have my daily workout regime all set -

8AM - 12 PM Sit on porch eating/sipping iced tea/shaking fist at young whippersnappers

12 PM - 3 PM Drive around town at 10 mph

3 PM - 5 PM Sit on porch eating/sipping iced tea/shaking fist at young whippersnappers

5 PM - ? Peyote

 

[deadair]

sounds like a great plan josh...

when do you eat though?
or are you just hooked up to IV's at that point?

 

[avi]

josh that made me laugh out loud in my empty office

my plans pretty much the same except for adding lots of booze to my diet and hosing kids off my lawn

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

you'd see I'll eat from 18-12 and 3-5 if you'd read the frickin schedule!!

i thought that ment you would be 'gumming' at your tea... not eating something to go ALONG with the tea.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh that actually makes sense. but no, I will be eating. puddings and various baby food products most likely.
