Settin' the place on FIRE!

It's a guarantee that when my girlfriends and I all get together, we have a good time. We've got story after story, and those stories have led us to nicknames and many inside jokes.

This past Friday, my mom & I hosted our annual cookie exchange and the usual gang of girlfriends came over.

My BFF, Melissa, came in bearing gift bags and asked us to open our special gifts. We knew it was something she made, but you could have never prepared me for what I was about to pull out....



She made us each a pair of slippers.....pad slippers. Pad as in Maxi-pad. They were custom to each of us. For instance, mine said "Snarky".

We howled with laughter, and didn't pay much attention to the candle on the table and the over abundance of tissue paper. Look closely in this next photo .... you'll see the glow of the flame and some tissue which appears to be much too close.



This is the photo I caption: DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!!

Yes, the tissue caught on fire.

And yes, the flames were probably a good 12 inches high.

And yes, it burned straight thru the tablecloth.

And while we're at it, yes, flaming tissue came at me and singed my shirt AND my hair.

No joke. I have some evidence:



After we extinguished the flames and calmed ourselves down, we went on to have a fabulous night.





I really couldn't ask for a better group of friends. I love you gals.

Merry Christmas to each of you!!

Moose Knuckles & Ice Cream

So it's no surprise that I'm a HUGE NKOTB fan and that I've seen them 4 times since last October. It's also no surprise that I love taking pictures, and what better things to take pictures of then those 5 Bad Brothers from the Beantown Land?

The last concert I went to was at the end of June. I took a whole load of photos, but never did get around to uploading them or viewing them all on the computer. Sure, I reviewed them on the camera itself, but we're taking a 2x2 screen here....

Imagine my suprise when I come across the money shot. So I did what any other blogger/Twitter whore would do .... I twitpic'd it.

And my fellow Blockheads took to that photo like flies to a fresh pile of ... yeah, they REALLY liked it. It was RT'd (retweeted for those of you born yesterday not familiar with Twitter) countless times and the views continued to increase.

Imagine my surprise when I was reviewing my @replies and came across one from JON OF NKOTB!!! While my heart nearly exploded right out of my chest, I attempted to read the HUNDREDS of @replies that were coming in at an alarming rate.

The views on that photo skyrocketed and it's still cruising through cyberspace. It's currently on it's way to almost 20,000 views.

What was this photo you ask? I will simply say MOOSE KNUCKLE.

Fast forward to this week, while I'm driving home from work, having a phone conversation with my BFF. She explains that she was getting caught up on Twitter and had no clue what the heck I was talking about in regards to the Moose Knuckle. She said she thought maybe it was a new flavor ice cream.

And while I'm laughing at her, I tell her, "Yeah, you can find it right next to the Padussy flavor...."

Foto Friday

So, this isn't exactly Foto Friday, moreso along the lines of Film Friday - but this is too good to pass up.

My BFF has recently contemplated what underwear would be appropriate to wear during some doctoring. She wondered .... do you let it all hang out and wear a thong? Or do you cover up with some granny panties?

During a recent shopping excursion with my mother, we found the perfect solution!

So, I did what any other good BFF would do. I tucked them into a small gift bag, wrote a little poem and presented the new gift.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Well, this video must be worth 1,000,000.

Just kick that monster's ass!

The end is classic....

"Oooooh"

Reminds me of the classic line in Christmas Vacation when little Ruby Sue mentions that the dog was nervous, and "Shittin' bricks". When Clark tells her that she shouldn't use that word, she replies "Sorry. Shittin' rocks."

Bluuuuhd!

This cracks me up!
Kids are riots!
Seriously!

I am going to start filming mine just in hopes of getting a gem like this video....

While We're On the Subject of Laughing...

A comment on the last video I posted was in regards to the mom saying "Do it again" .... this is another reason I have loved that giggling quad video since I saw it years ago. The mother's accent, and the babies' synchronized laughing made it perfect.

Something like this too....really, the whole premise is kind of -- well -- dull. But, add in the accent and that it's two freakin adorable kidlets, well, that's true humor right there.

Things that make you laugh

To this day, this still makes me laugh my ass off....

This doesn't even look like you!

My bestest girl, Melissa and I went out to Gameworks on Saturday night. We got there prior to them kicking the kiddies out, so we were carded again at 9pm to make sure we were old enough to still play.

I hand my license over, the chic looks at it, thanks me and hands it back. Melissa hands hers over and the chic is looking at it.

And looking at....

Finally she says "This doesn't even look like you..." You know, as if my friend here handed her a phoney ID.

I'm all like "Well, she did just get her hair done this morning" while I'm chuckling....

Finally the chic says something like "You look so much younger now!"

ROFLMAO!!!!

I said to Melissa later -- as if someone who wasn't of the legal age of 21 would hand a fake ID over trying to pose as a 37 year old?!?
