The New "New Guy"

Please say hi to the new guy Arde.

He has made his appearance with this statement when we were generalizing about Persian people.

"I don't know what swarthy is, but it sounds cool"

Arde, here is your definition.

swarth·y (swôr'thē)
adj. swarth·i·er, swarth·i·est
Having a dark complexion or color.

Salty Cones Revisited

Overheard earlier today.

Gigi: Yes, cones are salty
Michelle: You mean not the sugar ones that are not sweet?

Wow. It seemed funnier when she said it.

Is it real or is it digital?

Gigi once again reminded me of this blog by what she recently said.

Gigi: What are you holding?
Greg: Michelle's VSDA videos
Gigi: So they came in?
Greg: (pause) yes.
Greg: Is this the same thing as when you asked if the size of the burrito in front of me is the actual size of the burrito?
Greg: Do you think I should blog this?

This is somewhat understandable since Michelle got the tracking information earlier that morning. I guess it could have been someone else that ordered it and got their delivery first.

First born or Oldest

If faster or less time wasn't bad enough we have another entry into the public ridicule forum.

Alex: Are you the first born?
Gigi: Yes
Alex: So does that mean you're the oldest?
Greg: That's going into the blog.....

We can blame this on Alex getting his finger smashed in the van door this morning and him being seriously drugged up from that.

The New Guy Arrives

Alex, the new guy has joined the club. He was looking at Gigi's magazines, Everyday with Rachael Ray and Real Simple. Quite the observant one, he notices that Rachael Ray is on the cover of every one of her magazines. He then proceeds to ask why she's on every cover. Um.....maybe because it's her magazine. I wonder who is on the cover of Oprah's magazine. I'm thinking maybe Dr. Phil.

Not to be outdone by last friday's comment, today he was looking at Gigi's Mookie. For those of you that don't know Mookie, he's black and white, has 4 legs, horns......you guess the animal. Alex, the new guy says that it's a pig. This is the same guy that at lunch mentioned that when he was younger his dad kept goats, chickens, peacocks, rabbits, wombats.........in the backyard. You would think someone with this extensive knowledge of farm animals would know the difference between a cow and pig.

More Than Meets the Eye

It's been a while since my last post. I have to admit that I forgot about this blog. It's a good thing that Gigi did not forget about it.

Coincidentially, Gigi is the victim of this post. While at Senor Fish, I get my burrito before she did. Maybe because it was 100 degrees outside and we were in full sun. The heat rays may have distorted her view or something. Gigi looks at my burrito and asks, "is that how big the burritos are?" Being the nice and understanding person I am, I refrained from the sarcastic remark and replied, "yes, this is how big the burritos are." I then proceeded to tell her that what I really wanted to say that was not so nice and quite sarcastic. Feel free to comment on how you would have replied to the question.

Mixed Metaphores

What do you get when you combine the following phrases?

At wits end
Beginning of the end (demise)

You get the End of My Demise. Sister, are you an immigrant?

In the future, you may also combine the following phrases:

You’re killing me.
You will be the death of me.

Combined, it will become:

Have you finished killing me?

Thank you. Carry on.

Well Endowed or Helpful?

Michelle was talking about when they went to Vons.

"The Northern California store managers were well endowed and willing to help us find what we needed...."

Gigi and I both heard her say well endowed, but she's trying to claim that she said welcome, but that doesn't fit into the sentence. Come to your own conclusions on what she was thinking about and what she was actually trying to say.

Back, back, back and forth

After mocking Gigi for being able to count, when faced with the fact that he was not talking behind her back but rather he is in front of her, Chris came up with this gem.

"That's right, my back is in front of you"

When faced with the facts rather than going with the standard approved method of a bold faced lie, Chris opted for confusion. Way to go!!!

another winner

These things seem to come in doubles.

When you have rainbow sherbert, you have to have it in a cone, right? Only kids get rainbow sherbert and kids always have to have ice cream in a cone. Although technically it's sherbert not ice cream, but that's another discussion and it's not funny.

So Gigi is getting rainbow sherbert today and is not getting a cone because according to Gigi a ice cream cone is salty. Salty...... I don't know what kind of ice cream shops she's going to, but if her cones are salty that's the wrong kind of cone she's having.

Faster or less time?

Sharon is the winner of the day while talking about corned beef and cabbage.

"I put in my cabbage after the meat since it cooks faster. Well, it doesn’t cook faster but it takes less time to cook"

So it doesn't cook faster, but it takes less time to cook. How silly it is to think that it cooks faster, everybody knows it takes less time to cook........what?!?!?! it's the same thing? No way!!!!

Then, after saying that when we cook the corned beef in the crock pot and start with hot water, Sharon asked what else is there. Um, hot water? This caused Chris to blast Dr. Pepper out of his nose.

#2

I didn't expect to have another entry so quickly. I guess Jim didn't want Ruben to feel lonely.



Please support the company by seeing our new movie Meet the Robinsons on February 16th....or if you can read March 30th. Please note, Jim was pointing to the picture when he said "16th of this month". Jim, the Public Ridicule Commission salutes you for your complete disregard for the annoying things called details, accuracy and correctness(ness).

Today's Winner

Ruben, for his complete disregard for our new home. Left his Diet Coke in the freezer overnight, only to have it explode and make a mess and to have to be called out by Janna to clean up the mess.

To add insult to injury, he remembered that he left the offending beverage in the freezer before leaving last night, and did he let that affect his appointment with the freeway traffic? NO!!! Carry on you brave soul. The Public Ridicule Commission salutes your boldness.
