I was at CVS getting some wrapping paper, and there was a little boy in line with his mom. I leaned over and whispered, "I killed Santa." He cried and cried!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
But seriously...34-ish out, fired up the bike and went out until my [gloved]fingers started getting numb. I'm sure people in their cars were looking at me like WTF? Good times. First day of winter is first day I'm sick of winter.
This one is worth a smile.
what made me smile? went to walmart with a friend... said excuse me and accidently bumped into someone. he got pissy and said you dont have to be rude. i said "i said excuse me to be polite, if i wanted to be rude i would have just pushed through." he got all puffy and said he should take care for me. I said i would like to see youdo that... and took off my hoodie and rolled up my sleeves. he looked at me and said im sorry sir... its a hectic day. :-D
Seed that reminds me....last night I was at a bar, I swear it was a meathead convention. I was walking around with one of my friends, who's a pretty strong looking dude. He was literally standing there, and some half-pint dork bumps into him, and starts talking sh!t. I'm standing there smirking, because he couldn't do jack-sh!t if he tried. He finally realized he was in the wrong and apologized.
5 minutes later, we're walking through, and him and another guy bump into each other...other guy starts yapping away at him. It was f'n ridiculous. Sometimes Boston really does live up to it's reputation.
funny how most people back down once ou call their bluff... though with the kind of day i was having i was kinda hoping he wasnt bluffing... would have been nice to get some energy out...
oh and your post made me remember what my dad did one year... he did the same thing you did but in a grocery store. then he went home and hung a santa suit stuffed with hay from a branch in the front yard by a noose.... my mom didnt like that all to much
That's hilarious.
Except I really didn't tell a little boy I killed Santa.
Seed, In my youth, because I wore glasses (and still do), kids used to pick on me all the time. I fought them no matter how big they were, and I've had my share of bloody nose. But I learned early on that if you challenge them, they stop picking on you. Been that way ever since, and at age 69, I'd better 'wise-up' if I want to see my 70th. LOL But the truth of the matter is, all that period between my youth and now, I've never been in a fist fight.
i havnt been in a fist fist in quite a while myself... though im only 22... and that makes me smile
I went to the grocery store today (it's still Christmas Eve here), pushing one of my little Tico's in the shopping cart. We were in the produce aisle and had stopped in front of the carrots while I glanced through my shopping list. All of a sudden I heard a voice behind me impatiently and angrily say, "If some people would hurry up and move!"
I pushed my cart forward a bit, and turned around to see a middle-aged gent push his cart forward and start to pick out some carrots. He was evidently in a big hurry, and was in a sour mood. He looked at me as if I had slapped his wife. Mind you, I towered over him and could have easily approached him in the manner Seed did in his confrontation in Wal-Mart. ....and come to think of it, that might have made me smile.
I resisted the urge to say what I really wanted to say, however, and instead I leaned over towards him and said, "Merry Christmas, sir." He looked at me for a second, got a strange look on his face, and then very sheepishly he replied, "Merry Christmas to you. I'm sorry for saying that." I smiled back.
It made me smile to know that I had maybe injected a little friendliness into this stranger's day, and he was obviously having a bad day. And maybe he would pass some friendliness on to the next person who bumped into him.
'Tis the season.
Watching the little girl dog sit up on her hind legs like a prairie dog so she could hold paws/hands with Setanta. She loves her big boyfriend.
I watched Super Size Me and afterwards I told my parents I wanted a McGriddle for breakfast. Oh yum.
That's what they're called right? I never eat the egg or sausage inside. I hand that to someone else. I just loveloveloovve the pancake/syrup buns!
Totally superficial of me, but scoring big at the Jones New York and Liz Claiborne outlets in the Boxing Day sale made me smile huuuuuuuuuge.
Knowing I am back in my own home again!
i hear there's no place quite like it...
reading about jespah and eggnog made me smile
Watching a rerun of Saturday Night Live with Modest Mouse performing, and turned the channel and saw Modest Mouse performing on a local weekly rock show on Fox. Performing the same song at the same time on both channels.
I'd never heard of Modest Mouse before. Maybe a sign?
maybe... good band... good music ... bad lyrics.. thats just me though
Had a little flashback to Christmas with the hamburgers. mrs hamburger is apparently now 'almost 47'
so how old am I supposed to be?
Liked your story, Tico.
My daughter asked me to go with her to Ozzfest this Summer. I really couldn't believe it. I asked her if she was serious,... wouldn't you be embarrassed to go with your mother--?
Apparently not.
A very pleasant, *surprising* surprise. And, I've been smiling about it on and off all day.
(Been a LONG time since I've been to a concert.)
I drunk-dialed littlek(among others) today....around 5pm.
I'm good times.
