Random Thoughts, the Sequel

[spup1122]

My grandparents have a shirt list for those of us grandkids who are between 13 and 30. We're all on it for various reasons.

My sister -- has a tattoo
Me -- Democrat
One cousin -- spent entire trust fund paying off credit cards
Another -- Party girl... dropped out of school to start working for a major corporation

I asked my aunt about it last Feb. She said, "Oh honey, we've all been on it."

My dad told me that when he was getting his degree in mass communications and working in radio, they told him the only people who went into radio either wanted drugs or girls. Since my parents met while my dad was on air, I suppose he wanted the latter.

So far, radio has netted me one girl and no drugs. But, it's been less than a year.

My family's crazy...and they suck, but at least they have social skills. They're gracious, if nothing else. My ex's family amazed me with their lack of basic social functioning. One of her brothers is this big fat fork who scowls at the floor and doesn't speak or make eye contact.

irish: Honey, I don't mean to find fault, but Matthew really freaks me out.
former girlfriend: Why?
irish: Well, he doesn't make eye contact or speak. He scowls at the floor. Where I'm from, the next thing after that is going to the pickup to get the shotgun. It unnerves me.
former girlfriend: Matthew doesn't like guns.
irish: That's only mildly reassuring. He looks like he's fixing to change his mind about guns. The antisocial stance is there, it's just a matter of it finding its natural expression.
former girlfriend: That's just how he is in public. He's really shy.
irish: John Wayne Gacy, Mark David Chapman, John Hinkley- all shy.
former girlfriend: He's sweet. He likes to shop for his daughter at Target.
irish: He thinks I'm a communist. And he knows I'm from the city.
former girlfriend: You should give him a chance.
irish: If I decide to give him a chance, that might be my last decision.

Lots of dinners, plenty of movies, not a whole lot of sex. She felt very guilty about her sexuality. That was a problem, to say the least. Multiple orgasms one minute, guilt-ridden the next. Those fundamentalist assholes really got to her.

jesus christ, could you imagine feeling guilty about multiple orgasms?

I really like Oatmeal Cream Pies.

I know that was the most random thing on earth, but it is the random thoughts sequel thread.

I just don't get it. Newspapers want to move in the direction of being 24-hour newsrooms ... YET ... YET ... they want to progress toward that goal with smaller staffs. More work = less staff. How does that make any sense?

Have you noticed that the word quality never comes up in these do more with less discussions ...

I know that was harmless Spup, but your post made me gag as it brought up memories of a certain Songbird post on this very same thread ...

Yes, Jesus Christ. She thought JC would not approve. I pointed out that the clitoris is proof that God wants women to enjoy their bodies, but she wasn't impressed with my amateur theology.

P'shaw. Yawn would throw any female offspring down the nearest well. Only strong, male, God-fearing children for him. Unless they're gay, then they get the hondo treatment.

 

[writing irish]

Yawn and her folks would have great time talking about what geniuses Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich are. A tremendous relief to never have to deal with them again. The thought of marrying into that family was inconceivable. Yawn really should move to the town I just moved away from; he'd have a semi-permanent boner from all the Republitards spouting James Dobson's latest assertions.

did she at least gobble the goop?

On that subject, I think I'll be as silent as a German-American, Western Great Plains farmer dude.
