Telling a guy in a wheelchair to “stand up” far surpasses “potatoe” anyday.

Asking Chuck Graham to stand was pretty insensitive, which is probably worse than saying Roosevelt was on TV.

No problem at all

Oh, and Grimmie, thanks for reminding me of the correct spelling of “enthralled.” I’ve always deep ended on the kindness of stranglers.

And that’s what I was apologizing for. Hmm…

No, I was ouching the visualization of taking a tongue to a bandsaw.

I think Mr. Depp puts his ego on an altar.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:01:03 +0000

Ouch.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:00:23 +0000

Yeah, that’s it. Not that I’d know anything about alter egos or anything.

By: pittypat

Wait, what?

Oh I don’t know. He made oogly boogly eyes at me in a NY cafe once and all I thought was, “eh, too petite.”

Oh, I can be jealous. I didn’t used to be jealous much, but lately it’s reared its ugly head for me. Not too terribly bad, though.

Everyone’s girlfriend should be enthralled by
Mr Depp.

Grimmiekins, when you want to use your alter ego, you gotta make sure to change the e-mail so you get a new avatar.

By: pittypat

pittypat — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:54:10 +0000

Oh gosh I’m sorry I got you confused with someone else whose girlfriend is entrolled with Jonny Depp.

It happens when I’m being deliberately confrontational.

Or trying to pun.

By: Grimmiekins

Grimmiekins — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:50:30 +0000

Pardon? Me? Bitter?
I’m afraid good sir i have no idea what your talking about.

By: pittypat

pittypat — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:50:01 +0000

At that rate, probably the safest bet is to stroll on over to said bandsaw and take care of that loose tongue problem once and for all, you terrible terrible wanker of a husband!

By: pittypat

pittypat — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:45:47 +0000

Huh. I figured I was the only one that formed little gobbets of spit at the corners of my mouth when trying to respond to froofrou.

By: froofrou

froofrou — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:43:24 +0000

I missed that memo too, but it’s still fun to pull on Hubby when he’s not paying attention. The little gobbets of spit that collect at the corners of his mouth as he tries to salvage an answer are worth it, hehehe.

But I’m not evil or anything…….

But I bet you’re still bitter

never understood jealousy

i take my girl to johnny depp movies so she can drool over him.

i myself enjoy his acting

By: viking gal

viking gal — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:19:01 +0000

Ouch. Nevermind. Maybe muttering under the breath with the bandsaw running IS a good idea!

By: viking gal

viking gal — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:17:57 +0000

Did I miss that lesson in the ‘how to be female’ program? Along with ‘toenails must be painted at all times’… Dang, sometimes I wonder if I really AM a woman!

By: viking gal

viking gal — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:16:56 +0000

That’s just too bad. I think everyone has the right to look, as long as they don’t touch!

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:36:29 +0000

Ah, but when one of her boys are on TV or movies or whatever, it’s perfectly okay for her to drool. *sigh* Double standards abound.

It took several years for me to learn these lessons.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:18:32 +0000

In my younger, stupider days, I would fall for stuff like “Do you think she’s hot?” The answers to that question still haunt me to this day. “Your girlfriend is on TV.” Oh stop it.

By: eddiepscetti

eddiepscetti — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:17:27 +0000

I’ve also learned that I don’t have an opinion (even though I may be asked for it).. If I do have one, it’s muttered under my breath, outside, with the bandsaw running.
-
Nod yes or no.. it’s the safest path. As my dad taught me, “Happy Wife, Happy Life.”

By: eddiepscetti

eddiepscetti — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:14:43 +0000

“Oh, you look nice in that!”
“I’ve worn it before and you never said anything.”
“When was the last time you wore it?”
“Last year.”
“Oh, well last year you were a bit chubbier.”

I don’t think we need to explain what happens next..

I’m an extremely laid back kind of gal, and I generally don’t do stuff like that. Especially since the hubby is good to me and for me and all that jazz. But every once in a while I will pull that particular rabbit out of my hat and turn a comment about the TV program we’re watching into how he just called me a fat cow just to keep him on his toes. I think all women must have an evil gene in them.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:12:21 +0000

And don’t tell me you women folk don’t set us poor men up with that kind of thing! There’s no way to win when THAT happens.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:10:02 +0000

Yeah, that’s about right.

By: eddiepscetti

eddiepscetti — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:09:24 +0000

Yep, that’s pretty much it.. and you would think that I would have learned all of that in my first marriage, especially since she was psychotic! But no, it’s like my brain did a reset when I said I do. Like I said, now I just nod yes or no..

By: froofrou

froofrou — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:07:08 +0000

Oh Eddie, you should know better than to try to explain yourself to a woman! We’re masters of taking an innocent compliment about our clothes (“You look nice in that today”) and turning it around to emasculate you! (“What, so you’re saying that on every other day I look like crap?”)

By: eddiepscetti

eddiepscetti — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:04:15 +0000

I used do that too, but in my case it usually pissed the wife off because it came across badly. I would then make matters worse by trying to explain what I really meant. I have since learned to keep my mouth shut and just nod yes or no.

By: froofrou

froofrou — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:03:42 +0000

I feel bad for Gibbs more than anything. The man is a terrible press secretary to begin with, and then he has to clean up after Biden, Obama (sometimes), and basically explain away everything that has been said by telling people what they actually meant. He’s in over his head, especially with Biden.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:00:01 +0000

*sigh* As someone who also has terminal foot-in-mouth disease, I feel for the guy. I know what it’s like for everything you say to come out horribly wrong, no matter how benign or good the intent actually is. If he’s anything like me, then he probably means something totally different when he says something goofy.

By: bitter troll

bitter troll — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 19:49:09 +0000

bitter troll think biden guy is really a muppet….

would explain very much alot

By: froofrou

froofrou — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 19:35:25 +0000

I saw a cartoon one time that illustrated it perfectly. You see Biden giving a press conference saying that you shouldn’t fly because of swine flu, and that you should run for your lives from anyone who sneezes. The next panel has Gibbs saying “Well, what Vice President Biden MEANT to say is that jogging is good for you.”

pittypat — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 19:29:55 +0000

I agree with you Eric. I see him as impulsive, which is a lousy quality under the lights, but it’s not the worst problem …
