Throwing Little Thought Pebbles at Your Windshield Since 1996
Joan: We have a real treat today, everyone’s favorite Pokemon, Pikachu!
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Joan: What?
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Joan: I’m sorry, what?
Pikachu: Pika?
Joan: Is this a joke?
Pikachu: Pika! Pika Pika!
Joan: Um. Right. Sure. Okay.
Pikachu: …
Joan: So there you have it…Pikachu! Thanks for stopping by!
Pikachu: [mumbles] Pika.
So I was asked to leave a NorthEast Airlines flight yesterday because my outfit was too revealing. I know that normally I do wear pants, but it was pretty hot yesterday, and plus, I got tar all over them after I finished my shift on the road crew repaving Harvard Street.
I didn’t think anyone would mind because I had pulled my shirt down, but the flight attendant, the pilot, two passengers and the guy who wears headphones and holds those red sticks to tell the plan when to stop all asked me to leave the plane and put on something more decent. They did offer to give me a stapler and a pile of luggage tags to see if I could fashion something myself without having to leave the gate area, but I ran out of staples and the little strings on the tags were tickling me.
So I missed my flight, which was going to the Arctic Circle. I’m really bummed, because I was going to try to take some photos. I haven’t really added much to my flickr album lately.
Let’s see. Probably time to do that post where I try to make my life more exciting. I should post about something that could never ever ever happen in real life, certainly not to anybody I know.
So this morning my dog discovered a naked bank robber passed out by my pool.
What do you think, too unbelievable?
Way to go, Buchholz. We’ll try to give you a little room, and not be too harsh if you falter a bit in your next start, but we are looking forward to VERY GOOD THINGS from you. Okay?
I’ll even forgive you for being called up so that there was no chance I would see you start at my first Pawsox game yesterday. (Holy crap, what a great place to see a game. Even though we got creamed by the Scranton Yankees. Even though our seats were in the middle of the row and the people on the ends didn’t have a firm grasp on the art of letting people by.) Next year we will definitely grab more tickets earlier in the season. And I can’t say that the fun of the day didn’t have anything to do with the family we went with – thanks P, L, A and C for a lovely day!
Junior (and the other two boys) got the Pawsox team baseball cards, so we have the Buchholz card front and center today.
