QotD: Sticks and Stones

What's the meanest thing you've ever said to someone?

Hi, so, yeah, why not title this post "I am an evil bitch/bastard"?

As with most people, I've said a fair share of mean things but I have a very bad habit of holding onto anger and such and letting it fester and then when another is at their most low, I will spit it out at them with the most venom possible.  Should I get help for that?  Probably.

But, I will still answer this knowing that it is hardly the meanest thing that I've ever said to anyone.  It was said to a friend when we were all just sitting around ripping on each other.  Kinda like 'The Dozens' but with only one black person (me).  Anyways, my friend Roy was the recipient of this zinger:

Your mom knew you were gonna be stupid from the day that you were born so she only gave you a three-letter name.

It's mean.  I know.

QotD: The Last Time I Surprised Myself

When was the last time you surprised yourself?

This morning as I read this question, the dog had laid her head in my lap.  She indicated that she wanted to answer this question and so I am going to oblige her this one time.  While I will translate and type for her, it will still be in the first person so that you can fully enjoy her story.

Why, thank you for asking, Vox, as this happened just earlier today.  I was all alone in the house, relaxing before the two-leggers returned from wherever it is that they go all day.  They come home smelling like other people and other things, some nice, some nasty, but I'm getting away from the topic already.

Like I was saying, I was laying on the floor in the sun when I heard a noise come from somewhere behind me.  I lifted my head to see if anything was there, but alas, nothing but me and my fur tumbleweeds.  I laid my head back down, but just then a powerful stench struck my sensitive nose.  I sat up a bit to investigate this new smell.  As I sniffed around, I found that the smell seemed to be eminating from just below my tail.

On previous occasions when I have heard this noise, the two-leggers have often pointed at me and held their noses whilst saying my name in unfriendly tones.  And now, I realize what has happened.  I am the cause of this noxious odor.  I am surprised that this came from me!  I eat nothing but the finest in gourmet dry food — and sometimes some poop from the yard.  How could this happen?!?!  Maybe I am more ashamed than surprised.

I am glad she finally realizes that her farts stink.

QotD: My <3

Who or what do you really love?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind, I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Now Arlene took a-me by my hand, she said "Lonesome George you don't understand,
who do you love?"
The night were dark and the sky were blue, down the alleyway a house wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed, you should've heard what I'd seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine, just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet, got the goodtime music and the Bo Diddley beat
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me child, tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Thanks, George Thorogood and Bo Diddley

QotD: Hard to Say I'm Sorry

Is there anything you've done that you wish you'd apologized for, but didn't?

Eleven years ago, I missed a flight from NY to PA.  Because I missed that flight, my brother drove out to get me.  Because he drove out to get me, we both were not home when my father passed.

I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye, Dad.
