[ZZUB]

We went to see Cars yesterday afternoon. I'll tell you about it. Because I can. Not because you're interested. Just skim for your name. That's what George W. Bush would do.

First of all, I haven't been to the movies in forever. You know the last movie I saw in the theatre here was Finding Nemo? That was 3 years ago. So you might imagine my surprise when I stroll up to the box office only to discover that it now costs more to go to the movies during the day than it used to cost to go at night. Am I getting old? Is this a sign of old age?

I finish signing over the title to my car to pay for the tickets and we walked inside where we were immediately assaulted by an elderly gentleman trying to force people to join the Regal Club. I said, "No thanks, Jack. I'm already a member of some freaky internet fraternity with strange rules and secret meetings. The handshake is a bear to perform when you're on a laptop." He looked chagrined but pointed us towards our theatre. He evidently doesn't work for Disney. If he did, he would have pointed us to the combination snack bar and gift shop. No matter, my daughter was in tow and we were not seeing any movie unless she got her Skittles. She has a pavlovian thing with movies and Skittles. Also: swimming and apples and daddy and wild victory dances. Go figure.

As it turns out, I didn't have enough cash for the ridiculously large sized bag o' popcorn (inappropriately named "medium"), the drinks and my daughter's Kids' Reel Pack with the essential bag of Skittles. My wife gave up her engagement ring and one earring.

Having avoided a Seinfeldian moment at the snack bar, we entered the auditorium where finding a seat was only slightly less difficult than logging on to the Dis today. We finally found three together and parked ourselves and began to munch on the expensive buffet I purchased with a hardship withdrawal from my 401(k). Having not been to the movies since Bill Clinton was impeached, I forgot about how obnoxious previews can be. These were mostly benign until they showed the preivew for How To Eat Fried Worms, which was one of my favorite books as a kid. Go figure. The preview was unnecessarily vivid. Worms. Alive. Dead. Boiled. Fried. Squirting worm juice. Exploding. I could feel my stomach churning. It was like reading an installment of LaLa's Trip Report. Or my time sheet. I had to put down the popcorn. That's right, I could feel it coming back up.

No I did NOT pull a ZZUB.

But I thought about it.

And I thought, "Oh crap. I'm gonna ZZUB!"

And I hated all of your for putting that thought in my head.

But the movie was great. Go see it.

Sheridac: happy anniversary to you and yours.

Mel: the last two chapters of your Trip Report are some of the funniest stuff I've ever read. You are being wasted here.

Mr. Silly: "And then they came for the innuendos." That was so freakin funny. I continue laughing to myself about it. You are one funny, silly man.

ODG: I fear I was rude to you yesterday. I was in a mood, a rage even and none of that was your fault or your doing. In my anger I said somethings I just shouldn't have said. I have asked God to forgive me, but I need to ask you to forgive me as well. I am sorry.

To the rest of y'all. Peace out. Word. And other cool things that none of us are cool enough to say in real life.

 

[HaleyB]

The preview was unnecessarily vivid.

I saw a movie last night too. Thankfully they did not play the
Worms" preview, I saw it when we saw "Over the Hedge" and thought of you, Zzub.

I almost pulled a Zzub when the played the preview for the Miami Vice movie. The preview was unnecessarily vivid. And the music was all wrong.

Out. Back late.

Having avoided a Seinfeldian moment at the snack bar, we entered the auditorium where we got mugged by the seat saving incident scene. Scores of adults with tiny head bobbing up and down next to them were scattered throughout the theatre. Yet we could not find three seats together amongst this sea of strange faces. Lots of coats adorned empty seats. I found myself walking up the aisle asking, "are these seats saved?" One woman said, "I don't know whose coat that is. Just throw it on the floor and take the seats." Me: "Uh, no thank you, ma'am. We'll keep looking." Yeah, b/c I want to come back from the potty and discover my jacket is on the floor and some dirtbag and his family have poached our seats.

Z!

Nice to see ya around. Thanks for giving us the low down on your night. I did the LaLa while I read it.

And because we are taking the kids to see Cars tonight, I'm sure I will think of a certain weak stomached friend when the gross worm preview comes on.
And maybe pull a ZZUB or two myself in your honor.

SHER : HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL: I just gotta say it. YOU ROCK. Like you know what. And you know why. I think.

BORG: (((((((SLAP))))))))))

Okay, remember me telling yall about our triple date last night? With our friends that are so cool? Well, we pulled up to their house last night and my BF's husband had a stretch Hummer waiting. To take us to eat at a steakhouse. You heard me. A stretch Hummer. We got to the restaurant and had a private room for just the six of us. We all had a blast, reminiscing about old times and laughing very loud. No silent shaking for me last night. They are the only people we know that go to Disney more than us so we seized the chance to talk about our favorite destination and our upcoming trips. My best friend took her last chemo treatment the day our son was born so I have always felt we both kind of got a new lease on life that day. We've been through so much together and we have always been really close. But unfortunately, over the years life has kind of gotten in the way and we don't spend as much time together as we should. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of things, we seem to forget just how priceless really good, true friends are. So last night was really great. It was good times indeed.

Plus the Heimlich was never performed and nobody ZZUBed. And you can't ask for any more than that on a date, right?

 

[HaleyB]

No fair, I can not edit.

They always give Zzub special treatment around here.
