The happyhaunts' Rooms Without a View! Chapter 'o soup ~ Pg.40!

[ZZUB]

It's bigger than the E which sits perched precariously on Spaceship Earth. For the time being.

I got to read two installments as once which was even more amusing than studying the list of ingredients in Sweet and Low. This, however, made me laugh, "

B/c although we are Irish... we have the LUCK of the Kurds

Besides being an all too clever joke, that you capitalized LUCK put me into a COMA.

"Mellyman! What do you want?" I called over. "Winter."

This was also hilarious. Good show, Mel.

Based upon the recent threads which have long since ceased to be (if ever) about trips to Disney World, I have concluded the rules about idle chit chat on the Trip Report Board have either been abandoned or forgotten. Therefore, let me tell you about my lunch at Costco.

First of all, you're asking yourself, who goes to Costco in the middle of the week and in the middle of the day? The answer is ZZUB. ZZUB and several dozen near dead senior citizens. Not the happy eldies, mind you. But the angry set. The ones who won't return your smile. But instead glare at you as if you just suggested partially privatizing Social Security. And six or seven military types. In fatigues. Which made them hard to spot in the frozen foods section.

It was hot in the Costco. Or maybe I was overdressed in my shirt and tie. But we needed some stuff and I was in the neighborhood (NOApplebees), and didn't want to have to schlep back over there after work. Also, and here's the real reason, you can get a hotdog and a coke for a duck fifty. That's just smart eatin' right there.

So I picked up a case of Charmin (had to see that coming) and a few other things. And bought me a dog and a coke. I go to sit down and I'm trying to be considerate and get my cart out of the way. I ask this lady of advanced years (NOMel) if she'd mind if I put it behind her. She glared at me like I had just Kelly Ripa'ed her. Which I hadn't. I took her angry silence to mean that she was voting for Hillary! and left my cart there. After I finished my dog, I moved my cart and thanked her. She kicked me with her liver spots.

I LIKELIKELIKE you.


Then, again, I mostly don't.




And, you gave me a glimmer of hope when you said, "I finished MY DOG"!

NOSchmutt.



But... I don't think you really meant it the way I was hoping you meant it.



Thanks for pooping. By. With your busy life et all!



Cheers, Melly!!!!!

WE KNOW who Disfan 3 is!


Or do we?


Anywho... I'm also glad I mad her thigh-high leather stilleto boots go up and down!


Melly.

 

[LaLa]

And I'm not kidding EITHER.

Mel, I am DED at these LAST two chapters, chick.

DED!

You're bringin' THE funny back. And bringin' it back good. Maybe it's all the random capitalization. The Elvis riffs. The nasty Britney jokes. Whatever it is, keep it comin', GIRLFRIEND.

You're ROCKIN' it, Melly!

And oh yeah. I saw THAT. And I think I'm offended. IT WAS THE SWEET TEA!

It was hot in the Costco. Or maybe I was overdressed in my shirt and tie.

Or maybe it was the toupe. I imagine those suckers really hold in the heat.

If so... you haven't seen me smile.



Heh heh.

Now, that's some great trip reporting!

Hi Haley

 

[LISAMWDW]

Yep, some great trip reporting!

 

[ncseric]

NCSERIC is on ignore for inappropriate use of my screename.

Woohoo... I got mentioned by ZZUB! I can die happy now. TFI.

 

[kindakrazy2]

Loving it Mel!

 

[LaLa]

Woohoo... I got mentioned by ZZUB! I can die happy now. TFI.

For the record, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. TFI. You may be on Ignore now, but before long, he'll be personally attacking you for the misuse of words (or is that Chappie?!), calling you a Redneck (even if you clearly aren't), shortening your screen name because he can't be bothered to type out one more measly letter (maybe he's afraid he'll misspell it? multiple letters strung together seem to confuse him), and giving you full disclosure on his latest bowel habits (oh wait, he already does that!)

In other words, I think I'd rather be Kelly Ripa'(E)d than mentioned by ZZUB.

OR WOULD I?!!!

It's "Kelly Ripa'(E)d!" !!!!


Babygirl!

Got it.

Used it "correctly" this time around. I think. And here's a lil sumpm sumpm for you. It's PB&J. Although PB$J IS more appropriate, considering you bought it on Disney property.

Keep it comin, Melly!

 

[ZZUB]

I LOVE POTATO SALAD!
I've been Kelly Ripa'd by my love for it on more than one occasion b/c I ordered it instead of the fries only to discover it was assembled in a foreign country and shipped here under less than properly chilled conditions. But I love it and keep going back.

Hi YAK. Didn't mean to snub you earlier.

Other foods I love:

the Wedge
Devilled eggs
Swiss Cake Rolls (both cold and room temperature)
Frosted Cherry Pop-Tarts
Frosted Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tars (but that's really more a dessert)
Hot dogs
Yoo Hoo
Sweet Tea with lemon
Mashed Potatoes
Baked Potatoes
Potato Salad
Hash browns
Home fries
Tonga Toast (duh!)

Yup. I'm a healthy eater.

 

[HaleyB]

Zzub what about

Potato au gratin?
Tater tots?
and
Curly fries?

Hi Mel. You are FOFF(nof) these days, nice to have you back.

 

[HaleyB]

My old siggie. Just because.

Silly Joke Thread

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

I see what you're up to, ZZUB.

And therefore: Allow Me(l). To wander even further away from your abysmal and life-shortening diet choices. Allow me to wander...

North. As it were.

And... tell y'all a little bit more about myself and the happyhaunts.


I call this pump fake chapter: Mel's Camping Tips


With step by step photos. For your instruction.

And viewing pleasure.


Or not.


Step 1 ~ Get some camping gear. A tent will do. And a canoe. Fishing poles. And axe. Lifejackets. Food. Drinks. Maybe some chairs. If you're going to a campground. If you are going backcountry camping. Forget most of it. You'll be carrying it all. Bring water. And toilet paper. More than you think you'll need.

Of both.

Dress in your oldest clothes. Rips and stains are fine. You're not goin' to the GF! Then pack up. Lift your canoe and tie it securely on top of your dirty old van:

Making sure you've chosen a hairdo for the occassion that you'd never want to be caught DEAD in. On the Dis.

Step 2 ~ Since we were heading to a campground. Make sure that one of the adults hitches the trailer to the van. Properly:

Making sure to check your electrical. Is Okey Dookey. What I mean by this is that when you hit the brakes in the van... the brake-lights on the trailer go on. And when you signal left in the van... the trailer ALSO signals left. Also check the same thing with the RIGHT signal. B/c I can tell you what happens when you don't. When you signal LEFT in the van. And the RIGHT signal on the trailer goes. It ain't pretty. And it can be dangerous and costly.


Step 3 ~ Drive North:

Don't speed. B/c you're hauling weight. Of significance. NOZZUB.


Step 4 ~ Note to your husband that the canoe on the top of the van is swaying back and forth like your drunken Uncle Oscar. In his lawnchair. Just before he flips over.


Get out on the side of a busy highway. And with transport trucks whizzing by at 120 km/hr. Literally rattling the bones of your dirty ol van. RE-TIGHTEN the canoe. On the top:

Now that the canoe is more stable. Kick back.


Hold camera firmly in one hand. Extend arm up and away from self. And take 100 pictures of yourself. Tryin' to look cute. Or...in MY case... YOUNGER!


Dump 98. Of them.


Keeping two that you can handle looking at without shouting at your shoes. (Which should NOT be stilleto heels. For THIS kind of outing. TFI.):

Oh. Here's the SECOND...errrr... keeper:

Hot it ain't. But... the teeth are real. And so is the broken nose.

Step 5 ~ Arrive at campground. And set up your site. Making sure your beautiful bride does most of the work.

This doesn't work in MY HOUSE. bTw. But... I've tried and tried. It's the downside of being too manly. He expects...INSISTS... I pull some serious weight. NOZZUB. B/c we have three kids along. And there is LOTS to do.

Before the fun starts.


If ever.


Heh heh.


Step 6 ~ Building a fire. Go get some firewood. B/c you're not allowed to burn trees or brush in the campgrounds here. Not even deadfall. Unless you're backwoods camping. You must go to the park office and purchase your firewood. Along with your Refillable For Life Mug and Pal Bucky. The beaver. And a trading pin set.

If you are a happyhaunt...you send your stronger spouse to do this heavy lifting.

That'd be Me(l). TFI.


Select your wood. Making sure there are one of THESE little beauties on the bag:

If there is: SCREAM LOUDLY. Like a little girl. Dance around. Swatting at your arms, legs and upper torso. And wet your pants. But... just a little.

Haul four bags of heavy wood back to your dirty van. Sweating and swearing. When you drop one nearly on your toe.


Head back to the camp site.


Step 7 ~ Chop this wood smaller:

Even the bag of kindling must be chopped smaller. In order to make your fire more efficiently.

Get to work.

Have your beautiful bride sit back, open a beer and take a few pictures. Of the occassion:

Make sure to light a cigar. As well. And give plenty of unsolicited tips on the chopping of said wood. That you're NOT ACTUALLY DOING.


Step 8 ~ Success! A beautiful fire for the whole family to enjoy:

There.

Now then... thanks for stickin' with Me(l). If, in fact, anyone actually HAS.


I'll be back in just under a week to add to this tripe. For real.


The happyhaunts are going North. AGAIN. I know.


But... I'll be back.


And if I have the ACTUAL luck of the Irish. I will be adding another pump fake chapter entitled:

Mel's Camping Tips ~ How to Gut a Smallmouth Bass. With pics, pics, pics!


Cheers, Melly.

Catch y'all on the flip! Side.

 

[celerystalker]

Thanks for the tips! They are very appropriate as I am going camping tomorrow!
Yes, it's 97 here this week.
Yes, we're taking a 2 year old.
Yes, it's a church trip so I think the drinking will be forbidden.
Yes, we're idiots.

 

[nicolemarie]

Keep rollin' it, Melly!! Have a great time this weekend...
