Carlos is the Absentminded Professor, always has been. Yesterday
…YESTERDAY … he said to me:
“I need you to drive me to the statehouse at 10AM because it’s
World AIDS Day and I’m speaking.”
“TOMORROW? You never told me about that and I have to work.”
“Tell ‘em you can’t work.”
“At the last minute?”
He blustered about how he thought he told me, he was sure
he told me, he knew he told me …. did he tell me? No, he did
not, but luckily I have a rapport with my boss because I’m so bloody valuable,
that I was able to get the day off, though I will be doing some work from home.
Then … yes, there’s more … I get up early to take Carlos to
Columbia and I’m turning on the water to take a shower. I’m stooped over the
tub, feeling the water come out of the tap and get hot, and as soon as I have
the temperature correct, I turn on the shower … except Carlos had cleaned the
bathroom yesterday and when he put the handheld shower head back, he turned it
slightly. So, as I turn the shower on a huge spray of icy cold water—it’s
29-degrees here this morning—spewed out onto my head, down my bareback and
across my bare ass.
Oy, the screams. It is gonna be a long cold drive to
Columbia. |
The Tweet of the Week is absolutely right. Trust Elon Musk not to understand that.
ReplyDeleteSo simple, yet Musk and the Right don't get it.
DeleteWell, thank goodness you have a flexible work schedule! I am definitely NOT watching the Great American Family Channel anytime soon. (Even before reading that quote it would be unlikely.)
ReplyDeleteYes, work does bend quite easily to accommodate schedules. I'm grateful for a job like that.
DeleteThe Oz bit is too funny. Bure is coming to realize that those people who watch her (channel? / network?) are quite diverse; alienating some of them will make success difficult. Lyndsey's vote on the marriage act was expected.
ReplyDeleteI loathe that idea of "traditional couples only" and then saying you love everyone. If you loved everyone you'd show everyone.
DeleteDo you suppose Carlos left the shower head that way purposely? No. Not Carlos. Right? He couldn’t have done it on purpose. Hmmm...
ReplyDeletePoor Meh-meh Oz. He won’t be able to serve any more crudité. It'll be veggie trays for him.
Don't put THAT idea of Evil Carlos in my head! =)
DeletePoor Oz. Twice a loser.
We've all been there: "I'm sure I told you that." Leon does it to me frequently...but chances are that I was either 1) in another room, 2) thought he was talking to himself, 3) I was deep in thought planning dinner so wasn't paying attention
ReplyDeleteAll three could fit the bill with Carlos and me.
DeleteDon't forget "Springtime for Hitler and Germany" from the Producers and then just about everything Wagner wrote! But it's only the song from Mel Brooks' film that has a real tune and of course the whole film was complete satire. Most of Wagner is eminently forgettable.
ReplyDeleteI need Fascism: The Musical!
DeletePerhaps you need to speak to Yeah or whatever he calls himself?
DeleteHmmmmm .... not Ye.
Delete(Carlos) (Tuxedo)
ReplyDeleteand hope you warm up Bob!
And the Tweet of the Week - spot on!
xoxo :-)
Slowly warmed up!
Deletexoxo
Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love when people literally read Elon for filth on 'his' platform. So good.
And I totally agree with Tuxedo, of course. Kitty's on to something. As for the RFMA, let's hope it's not just a band-aid. I'm sure SCOTUS is gonna gut Obergefell. They're catering to the Candaces out there.
And yes, I'd let Trevor hit it. I would also let Mr. Hunter Sr. hit it, if Junior is otherwise busy...
XOXO
This whole "Elon brought back Free Speech" slays me. My speech has always been Free, but the right's Hate speech perhaps caused the problems.
DeleteI might like a triple play with Senior and Junior ....
When Cochise county declared they weren't going to certify the election result for their county, the governor elect who is still the state AG told them she'd bring suit against them. Then showed them in the state constitution that their county's votes would not be counted thus giving the House seat held by a Republican to a Democrat. No impact in the larger scheme of things, but that's really what tipped the needle over to "We will certify this election."
ReplyDeleteRules are rules.
DeleteOh, Carlos. What are you gonna do with him? I know: Love him.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Love him, yes, but make him pay for the ice bath? Probably?
Deletexoxo
Oh, Bobulah I feel for you about the shower. Married 47 years and I still forget to check the placement of the showerhead after Balder Half has used it. Oh, the face splashes I've endured!
ReplyDeleteBroderick Hunter Sr. is sexy as hell! He looks a little like the actor Steven Williams, who is also sexy in my opinion.
Trever Noah is a cutie pie. I think he was more attractive when his hair was cropped close to his head. His accent makes up for it.
Jon Cryer's tweet is on and to the point.
This is the first time Carlos has ever moved the shower head out of whack, and I nearly whacked him.
DeleteHunter Sr. is quite quite a handsome fellow.
Y'all know I love me a smart funny hot man with an accent!!
Aunt Pitty Pat....Lindsay Graham will never support gay issues because he is a self loathing and miserable closeted sex deprived queen...so he is taking that out on the community!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can just imagine the shrieks from the shower!!!!!! Poor Carlos, always in the doghouse...loved deeply but in the doghouse.
HAHAHAHA Kari Lake. Must be infuriating when your own party shoots down the crooked way you want.
The shrieks may have caused the neighbors to pause and think about calling the police!!!
DeleteKari Lake, AKA Thing 45 in a dress, deserves being dubbed a loser ... cuz she is one.
Oh no...my comment aren't going through again. It seems to be your blog and dispenses all the time. I tried yesterday to comment to no avail.
ReplyDeleteSixspence's blog I meant.
DeleteI've been checking the spam folder every day and putting those comments marked as spam into the published category. I did that to one of yours today and actually had one of my own replies to a post on my blog marked as spam!!!
DeleteAnd Trevor Donovan-90210-https://www.instagram.com/trevordonovan/- is getting shit for his working partnership with The Great American Family Channel.
ReplyDelete"I feel people should be and believe what they want, as long as they are kind and accepting of others. For those of you who have followed me since 90210, you know my heart and character. No matter who you love, no matter what your race or religion is, you matter," he told Variety.
I guess a gig is a gig and your character and creditability should not matter. He is in the same camp as M. Pence.
It's easy to say "you know my heart" but when your ass is taking a check from a homophobic company, it's all BS.
DeleteHope the drive to Columbia wasn't too bad. =) I have had similar shower experiences like that but the one that almost killed me is when Mrs. Shife shaves her legs with baby oil and forgets to tell me. So I will hop in the shower later that day and almost tear my groin from trying to catch my fall in the shower because it has been turned into a god damned slip-n-slide. Good riddance to the Cameron family. Big bro Kirk is a turd as well. Take care, Bob.
ReplyDeleteLuckily it was jacket and scarf and glove and knit cap weather so I was warmer than warm while down there today! But I thanks my lucky stars that Carlos has no use for baby oil in the shower!
DeleteYes, those Cameron's are something .... else.
Trevor Noah is definitely not my type of guy. Smart funny and clever but no...
ReplyDeleteMore for me .... =)
DeleteRe: The original issue... oh, I would dance beneath a disco ball with that one all night long... sigh. Yazz. And then it would be nothing but Chante' Moore and silk sheets when we get home. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat was sweet of you.
But the award winner? Your take on fascism. That's a meme that needs spreading, darling. I laughed so hard.
As for YE? What in the world. I am thinking some publicist is having a good laugh at our expense. Don't you? This nonsense is manufactured... that simply doesn't naturally occur. Kizzes.
Well, a quick Google search turned up Broderick Sr. and I knew you'd like to see him, so ... done deal!
DeleteKanye is mentally ill and off his meds and no one's taking care of him, but he doesn't get a pass for that.
I would hit Trevor Noah with one of my ham-sized fists for the lazy remarks he made about the election of Rishi Sunak in Great Britain. There was no racist reaction that I noted. In fact Sunak's Asian heritage played no part whatsoever in his rise to power. As for Cleverdick Noah, he should build himself a great big wooden boat, stuff it with animals and sail off into the sunset.
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear what he said about Sunak, but Trevor is sailing off into the sunset ....
DeleteFrom now on, always check the position of the shower head. I live alone and I still check the position of my shower head!
ReplyDeleteThat is on my list now!
