| These guys are talking to themselves while talking to each other but they don't have eyeballs. So it all makes sense. |
Have you ever had a conversation with yourself, but with someone else at the same time and not at all on purpose?
Me too!
My column in today's Douglas Budget is all about how I am *not* having a stroke or a mental breakdown. Yet.
You should go there and read it and like it and hold it and touch it and squeeze it and be its best friend forever and call it George.
Or you know. Just read it.
Also? When not having a mental breakdown or a stroke, I make sandwiches that look like mice.
That sandwich rocks! And, maybe it's the angle but it's huge!
ReplyDeleteThe Tumbleweeds like them big!
DeleteI hate it when I find myself in one of those conversations where the other person is actually talking to someone else on the phone. Especially during job interviews.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything more soul destroying than applying for a job or is that just me?
DeleteI'm going to have to do that soon and I reallllllllllllllllllllllly realllllllllllllllllllllly don't want to.
Really.
That sandwich is so cool. I imagine you have all the luxuries of home in that truck.
ReplyDeleteYes! If by luxuries you mean 2 weeks supply of underpants and all the faux-animal sandwich making materials you could need, then we are the Donald Trumps of trucking!
DeleteThat sandwich is cool! I'm sorry but I thought it was an armadillo at first. I'm not very good with food animals. I mean with food that looks like animals, not animals that are food. I might be over-thinking this...
ReplyDeleteIt does have an armadillo kind of vibe. Maybe it's a mouseadillo.
DeleteOnce, Himself picked up a baby armadillo that was walking through the woods while we were hiking, (why don't animals hike?), and it screamed like a banshee and when Himself put it back on the ground, it ran into a tree. So maybe I have a mental block when it comes to seeing armadillos in sandwiches.
Sounds like the armadillo had a mental block - how can you live in the woods and still run into trees? Dumbadillo.

Delete...and I just read your column. I totally agree, I think it's so unfair that it's the responsibility of the non-phone person to figure it out. Either A) we need to come up with a universal signal that the Bluetooth users must use so we all know when they're on the phone (I propose the signal could be a pencil in the eye, but I'm flexible) OR B) we should all wear headsets, so if you find yourself in an accidental non-conversation (a "nonversation," which is a word I think I just made up) you can just act like you were on the phone, too.
ReplyDeleteP.S. sometimes my comments on your blog are longer than the posts on my blog. But just as poorly thought out.
I fully support the pencil-in-the-eye signal. And nonversation. We need more better words.
DeleteYour PS in invalid because:
A: your comments are effing funny
and
B: your blog is effing funny
That is all.
I'm glad you agree with the pencil in the eye thing, because I was lying about being flexible.
DeleteP.S. thanks and effing ditto! ;)
ALSO, I just remembered that I once made a sandwich that looked like Ross Perot (potato chips for ears). So I'm pretty sure that makes us best friends.
ReplyDeleteHa! Also, also your Ross Perot sandwich explains your penchant for chart making.
DeleteBFF I'm in! Unless we have to do a spit handshake or blood oath, or do each other's hair.
Saliva and blood are completely optional. Girly rituals like hair styling and toenail painting are off limits. Pillow fights allowed only when the target is a bluetooth user and the pillowcase is full if old doorknobs. :)
DeleteYou had me at pillowcase full of old doorknobs!
DeleteLove this! This topic has been done, but not with the crystal clarity and immediacy you bring to it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe! My crystal ball helps bring things into focus. It's also a good weapon.
Deletecool sandwich.
ReplyDeletemaybe that's what you can do...a side acreer, you know, when you retire from trucking. custom subs. sharks. gators. mice.
ok...gotta go read your column now...
funny stuff stacey. i know what you're talking about too....i still can't get used to people 'talking to themselves'...but really on the phone. what phone? where is it? that little ear thing? guess i'm behind the times.
DeleteThanks Laura! I don't know why he had to make the effort to wave me over and start a conversation with me if he was on the phone with someone else. I think those ear things make people think they can handle more than one conversation at a time when in reality all it does is make those they are speaking to feel unheard. And in my case, mad!
DeleteI wonder how much money is in animal sandwich making, I'm looking for a job!
WOW, is all I can say about this and the sandwhich!!!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? My talent is *pretty* awesome.
