Silence is Overrated

Sometimes work can be more than just a measly paycheck.

Sometimes there is some great blog material to be had (if you are nosy enough like me).

And sometimes it can be just a bunch of completely unsolicited crap spewed at you all day long.

But today was a good day as a co-worker informed everyone at lunch that her daughter, sadly, will not be in her Church Christmas pageant this year.

“Why not?” someone feigning interest asked in between bites.

C’mon like you would have cared either.

“Well" she explained "Because we received a newsletter home last week informing us that our Priest is gay”

Blog alert! Blog alert!

“Gay huh?” finally something interesting around this dry joint “What’s the old Priest-Out-O'-Meter up to this week?” I asked

Well someone had to be the first

“Ha ha. So funny” she eye-rolled.

Well I thought so.

Dry Bat.

“Well, you don’t hear about any Rabbis goin’ out and gettin’ gay

do ya?"

Apparently, I only open my mouth to change feet.

Careful don’t-want-to-offend-because-I-have-to-live-with-these-people-five-days-a-week- chuckles lightly chime throughout the room.

Grow some balls people!

Non-attending-pageant-of-gay-priest mom continues “He decided to send a newsletter home explaining everything so that there wouldn’t be any talk”

“And they won’t talk now???!!!”

Would anyone have had the ability to keep quiet?

“I’m not sure but I do know that we are not attending that Church any longer. I was raised in a house where Gay was not the way”

Hmmm…were her parents bumper stickers?

“That’s not to say that I don’t have many gay friends…” she quickly amended.

Can that statement be amended?

“Seems a shame that your daughter will be so disappointed. Can’t you just let her do the pageant this one year?” a brave soul asked

“But now he’s gay!” she gasps

Betcha anything he was gay yesterday too.

“And now he’ll be after little boys”

So, er, your daughter should be safe right?

“Who says that you’re automatically a Petafile when you’re gay?” Whoa...Go Accounting…represent!

I have got to eat slower

“Everyone knows that. Priests are known for that” Not-The-Way-Mom raised by bumper stickers declared

So all actors and congressman are Petafiles too? What about my hair dresser? OMG… cut with gay scissors!!!! I must go home and hide my male cats!!!

Oops, did I say that out loud?

“It’s what I believe and I don’t have to explain myself!” huffy might be the most appropriate word here.

Well I guess that’s what religion is all about right? .....What you believe?

Hmmmm….now how to get out of this lunchroom gracefully.

“So….how’s about those Jews making up their minds on how to spell Chanukah...”

I really am my own worst disease.

The Convenient Jew

When I don't want to send out Christmas cards or feel like decking the halls, I can usually explain it away by being Jewish.

"Do you go to Church?"

Nope, Jewish

"Wear a cross?"

Nope, Jewish

"Swallow?"

er....Jewish

When my husband looks at me like I've sprouted even more nose hairs because I can still crack up at Adam Sandler's Chanukah song I tell him "You just don't get it. I guess you have to be Jewish"

"For that your Jewish?!" He screeches

"Wow Honey, that was pretty good. You almost sounded like one of us. Next time a little more up-pitched on the "ish" part and..."

"You know what you are?" Man can he flare a nostril "You're Screwish!"

Screwish?

Do they get jewelry?

You'd think with all the burning exhales being emitted out of my husband's face our heating bills would be much lower.

"Why is it that I am always Catholic but you are only sometimes Jewish?"

Hmmm....he's got me there...or does he?

"O.K. fine. No problem. You want me to be Jewish all the time?"

mental silence

"Uh, no, not really" he mumbles as he leaves the room.

Score another one for the Screw!

So do you think Hallmark makes cards for Screwvous?

Eventually my mind will drain free of all the nonsense but until that time......

Who loves puzzles?

Remember the puzzles in the newspaper that gave you two words and you had to come up with the ...I think it's called synonym for each word....there's my third grade education hard at work for ya folks.....

For example:

For Weak Mind the answer would be- Lame Brain

For Bratz Doll the answer would be - Whore Toy

Which leads me to Led Richard.

A prize for whomever gets it first!..............tick tock tick tock

Led Richard..........come on you can do it.....

Ding Ding Ding!!! Whoo Hooo!!! You got it! .... Pencil Dick!!

I knew you guys would get it!

No this post is NOT about my husband...thankfully, he has a Pretty Parcel...tee hee

No, this post was inspired by the PNC Bank representative who denied us for a loan modification because he said we do not look good on paper.

I realize a small blogger such as I won't make many waves but I'll take a ripple of satisfaction wherever and whenever I can get it these days....

So let's see how good you look on paper Mr. Led Richard....did I mention he was from PNC Bank (did you hear me Google? PNC BANK...small and discriminating little bank here in the northeast)

Well Richard.....You've just denied customers that have excellent credit ratings and have never been late on a singe payment once in ten years. Who have paid early and are hard working employed americans and who, btw, are on their way to becoming a housing casualty statistic thanks to you and your kind.

In addition to us not looking good on paper, we were told to come back when we make more money. Sorry....I thought a modification was for folks who needed a hand. Didn't know you had to be rich to get help. Obama's government assistant plan? Nope...you don't make enough money for that either. Sorry, come back and try again.

Have you met our economy Richard? Or are you stuck so far up your own ass that you are blinded by the crap you are so used to spewing?

I've heard the ranters, read the ravers but until this moment, I have not experienced the pure satisfaction of taking public revenge. Whew! Feels good.

And I didn't even have to drink!

While I'm at it, let's call out the companies who have made tuna cans smaller and thought we wouldn't notice.

Hey, I kinda like this ranting stuff. I might try it again real soon!

For now, thanks for listening to your friendly blogger neighborhood Cashew Work.

And I happily leave you with this:

___- ___- __- _______ - ______ - ___ - ______ - ____!!!!!!

Aren't puzzles fun?

Crazy Cuts

Today I’ve been sitting around just thinking about all the bowls of soup that have been poured since the beginning of time which of course led me to me to the subject of cutting my hair...

Yup. Gonna do it. Can’t stop me.

Now that I have actually made the decision and the appointment…

My long hair is dead to me

I don’t talk to it anymore. I don’t curse at it anymore. I have ceased trying to reason with it. And I smugly ignore its’ hairy haggling complaints about how my daily ponytail is causing breakage and ruin beyond repair.

Dead to me I say!

What choice did it leave me? Where was the cooperation when I needed it?

Hair death is never easy for anyone. Nair never did take it seriously enough.

Heartless shaver hater bastards.

Well, hair’s to closure:

Dear Dead to Me,

Thanks for …..well… for being long.

I will always remember all the rough grabbing hair sex good times we’ve shared. It is unfortunate that we have not been able to come to an amicable agreement and that we must cut our tresses and side part ways.

I am setting my hairdresser free of the uncomfortable role of Miracle Worker that has been thrust upon her by my begging and crying request. She can no longer be weighed down by your needy long strand demands.

Shearly, you understand that treatment at this point is out of the question. We’ve come to far down the Miss Clairol path to fool ourselves any longer.

So in keeping with my newfound dignity and determination… I’ve decided to get a boob job.

They will be far easier to maintain in the years to come and will give my porn loving husband me great pleasure. After all, who will give a crap about my hair when I have a great set of cans?

It is my great hope that you will not ask my nipples to sprout hair in retaliation.

You are bigger than that. Or at least you used to be back in the eighties.

Yours fooly,

Somebody Stop Me

The Douche Movement

I believe that it is time for bowels to step aside and let The Douche Movement take over.

Nothing against a good bowel movement but sometimes a girl needs some extra cleansing.

Yeah, I’ve been drinking. Since when does anyone like a sober blogger?

So in this movement the blogger cleanses all feelings of angst and woe. Curses all enemies and fears. Name calls all those worthy. Bloggy slams all husbands. And then let’s the cleansing satisfaction seep out as any good douche would do.

In other words....your typical blog...Summer's Eve style.

Here is my weekly contribution to The Douche Movement:

“Oh honey" I purr sleepily "I’m so tired after eating all that turkey. How about you?”

“Tired from turkey? Now what cracker made that crap up?” He snorts.

“It’s true, there is an ingredient in the turkey called tryptophan and it makes you tired”

“So it couldn’t be that you stuffed your face so damn much and blabbed at the same time that your jaw is now suffering from acute exhaustion? It has to be blamed on a mystery turkey ingredient?”

GRRRRRR “Well yeah”….Anyway, what want are we doing tonight?”

Husband looks at his paycheck "Well let me check" dramatic pause …. "yup..Nothing”

OOOOOOLLLLLrightythen......“Well, probably a good thing….I heard on the news that there is a rapist out on the loose. We all have to be careful”

Mr. Perpetual Eye Roll says “Like there’s not always a rapist running around out there. Just because you hear about one on the news, doesn’t mean that there aren’t millions already running around out there. Does the weather man have to come on TV and tell everyone he has a dick or shouldn’t you just know certain things?”

Now could it be his inner machinations of working curiosity that manifests an unknown resentment of an even deeper manifestation of pondering, which secretly harbors ill will towards the stupid and lame brained?

Or is he just an ass?

There. Weekly Douche Movement completed. I encourage all bloggers to create their own weekly and unique douche movement in an effort to cleanse and revive the …..Palette.

Before you get all backed up and explode. Then you would have to join The Enema Movement and that is for the boy bloggers. What? They need to douche too!

Screw milk...Douching does a body good!

Now sing it with me....Summer's Eve makes me feel fine....

You know? I think I’ll drink more often.

Proud member of The Douche Movement how about you?

You see, all of these spectacular bloggers are extremely versitile. You never know what to expect from their blogs or their comments (and I so love that!)

Blogging has added ....meeting all of .....blogging means the.....I feel that I have gotten to....I'm so glad.....

Eyes on Your Own Paper Mister!

Q) What is worse than a cheating husband?

A) Why the rancid whores that cheat with him of course.

Now I’m not much for rules. For example, when my son goes over to visit a friend, I run down a mother-load of rules that would likely choke a rhino but the only rule that I really care about is that he doesn’t crap in someone else’s toilet.

But not much I can do about that one can I?

But there are some rules that should not be flushed as easily.

Last I heard, Not Cheating wrote the book on How to Stay Married and Not Kill Someone. It’s a bestseller in prison, I’m told.

Recently a new co-worker of about five months decided to shower me with the gruesome details of her cheating spouse. These cheat sheets come on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.

Now I love a good train wreck as much as the next guy but when there are kids getting caught in the tracks, count me out. Negative zero tolerance.

Q) Why did she choose to bestow me with this unwanted dirty load?

A) I must have added a little too much Please-Be-Sure-To-Vomit-Unwanted-Information-All-Over-Me- perfume.

I want off this train.

And I blame The Anti-Christ- Google for Cheaters Facebook. They started all this. She would have never found out about -not one- but TWO of his extrees otherwise.

All she had to do was friend a friend of a friend of his friend of a friend of her friend who friended hi…. and viola!

Cheating Husband and Bitches Palooza.

What happened to the good ole days when you just became President and just got plain caught?

Now showing in Car One-A lewd Facebook porn collage of piece one and piece two, respectively of course.

Car Two displays a an epic novel in process showcasing a mistress’s eternal patience and undying love -Until He’s Free…On my blog, I kid you not.

Are you listening Lifetime? Stop filling people’s heads with such asscrack plot ideas!

There are two-piece love letters ga-whore plastered all over this dirty train. And apparently, cheater husband and piece-one even go to therapy together once a week.

This cannot end well.

And I know way too much for an innocent (drama kills) co-worker bystander.

I could wind up calling in dead if I’m not careful.

Q) How bad could I get hurt if I jumped the tracks at full speed?

A) ?

Jane! Stop this crazy thing!!!
