I saved a little bird today. I named him Chirpy, Jr.
After that crazy ass storm with the blue-green sky and the sheets of blowing water, I went out on a jog. On my way back home, two blocks away, I nearly stepped on the little fellar who was sitting in the middle of the sidewalk wet, dirty, and shivering. He could barely keep his eyes open. I brought him home, put a warm washcloth on him, and brought him to the U's Wildlife Rehab facility. By the time he got there he was full of pep, so he'll be fine. Good Karma for me.
Outside Surdyk's today I saw this middle-aged gentleman loading 3 cases of Molson Canadian into various bags and pouches hanging from his bicycle. I have to only imagine he was an alcoholic who lost his license in a DWI.
I had good Nepali/Tibetian/Indian food with Colin in St. Paul in the presence of Buddha. I liked one of the waitresses.

Hey Christy, seeing as you keep lurking round my hood, you should take me out for lunch sometime. I promise to be a good date.

No way, that's some scary shit. I'd be all "uhh, errr, mumble mumble..."

What the fuck is going on here?

Hrm.
What if the U took us both out? They don't seem to be reading all these reimbursement receipts I've been submitting..

Hum... I don't think THAT'S it... I was wearing a vintage bowling shirt. Oh, and thanks for defending my honor, Zach.

that reminds me of my favourite toast!
June 22, 2005 @ 02:24:18
Christy (monster)
the one that ends "come on 'er?" that one's my favorite, too. i never remember the whole thing, though.

where did you learn that one?

Umm... Grade school?
Just kidding, I'm pretty sure it was while I was in California. Theresa and I used to hang out with these terrible guys, and they'd do that toast all sleazy-like.
It was a little demeaning and definitely gross, but the toast was clever and it made me laugh HARD every time. I wanted to remember it, but by the time they pulled it out, I was usually too drunk to remember my own name.

Oh, and sith, xopl.com is not an acceptable place to invite me to lunch, but I will be in your neck of the woods (same place i was yesterday) 11:30-12:30.

I'm afraid I'm at the other job today. Hows about Friday (or 1ish thursday)?
June 22, 2005 @ 11:56:45
sith33 (#999)
Ok, I lied. Thursday is no good either. But friday...

"by the time they pulled it out, I was usually too drunk to remember my own name."
You didn't really just say that... did you?
June 22, 2005 @ 13:54:24
Christy (monster)
Friday maybe. But didn't I say you couldn't ask me to lunch here?
Zach: shutupshutupshutup. Or, go fuck yourself (you can insert your own inflection)

It was bound to happen. At least this way we can skip the awkward "mutual respect" phase...

I got 8/10, too. I think I've played something like that before. Except I think I got 3/10 that time.

P.S. This comment thread was HILARIOUS!!!!!

True! Also, as it turns out, that toast is also my friend Pete's gf's fave, too.
"To getting on 'er, to staying on 'er, and if you can't come in 'er, come on 'er." It should probably be yours*, too.
*to no one and everyone in particular.

I asked about it originally in this thread because it was our usual toast in London. I can't quite remember if it was Amrish or Cole who taught it to me.

Hm, that seems about right.
