I think it's time he learned...

By


I was fighting with the BiblioChild3 for dominance of the comfy chair.  Things were going as planned; I was only paying partial attention to the battle while the rest of my attention was on focused elsewhere when he cheated. The little shit bit me.  Granted he was pinned, inverted, and out of options but that’s just…..not cool. 

He knew it was out of bounds too because he ran upstairs giggling the entire way knowing that I wouldn’t spend the energy to chase him. Instead, I attempted to shake him to his core with a masterly use of linguistic threats.  

“You cheated you little booger!” 

I’m no Shakespeare but I can deliver the goods when necessary. 

 He responded with <giggle giggle giggle>”That’s what you get.”<giggle giggle giggle>

“You had better not come back down here or I will give you a proper Charlie Horse.”

He broke into a new fit of giggles as he ran upstairs.  2 minutes later he was already itching to come back down. Making it to the landing, he asks “Dad, what’s a Charlie Horse?”

    Did you tell him Charlie is Sarah Jessica Parker's cousin? All in all though I think we are just starting to get old, some of us more so than others. I know you might be using the phrases you did to limit the amount of verbal abuse the child has to suffer, but I caution you to watch yourself. One day it may creep into your general vocabulary. I'll tell you what though, if you ever end up calling me a little booger I will slap you, just to get you back on the right track.

    Today I learned that the term Charlie Horse is not longer hip. It's a wonder that I can hold up my pants....

To the whiney lady at the bar last week.

By
OK I get it; you’ve been waiting to place your order. I know that I have been helping the cocktail servers, dinner servers and the manager, ignoring you in the process. I apologize that I helped the person closest to me after making 15 drinks for a table in the restaurant, I was not aware that you arrived before he did. I understand that the other bartender has ignored you as well because he is stuck at the other end of the bar where 10 other people are shouting at him. I’m sorry it has taken me 5 minutes to get to you, even though the first thing out of your cake hole was “I’ve been waiting for 15 minutes and you helped that other….yadda yadda…” But…..if you are going to bitch and moan about me being busy and wasting your time on your friends birthday when it’s your turn to buy rounds, you had better make damn sure that you know what you want to when I ask. I even apologized to you while sliding that square paper napkin in that magical spinning fashion to rest just below your seco

I never understood ‘Business Casual’

By
Let me start out by stating that I hate, hate, hate business and business casual dress. I feel uncomfortable, stuffy and self conscious all day long. There are some people who tend to do well in slacks and a button down shirt. For example, FCJ seems to be very comfortable in the monkey suit that he has to wear to the office and if I remember correctly has been known to wear a similar costume when not in the office. Others like Captn. Punc. have only to don dress pants or slacks (I still don’t know the difference) during special events that require him to do so (i.e. he was told to do so). I believe the last time he had to wear them was during his wedding and I strongly suspect he had on jeans underneath. As for myself, the first thing I do when I get home is go change into something more to my liking, usually used-to-be blue jeans or lounge pants if I am not planning on going out again. If biblioWife isn’t near the path from the front door to my closet, she doesn’t get a kiss unt
