hah I have to illustrate everything. I do this by hand on bar napkins. I’m awful so they always end up being some sort of vegetable with arms and legs and a face wielding weapons. the Paint computer program is my true medium though. It lets me really express myself in ways that words fail. angry with broom is the guy who works at the bar that had to clean up all the broken glass that resulted from my friend’s tumble. Friend is fine which I didn’t know until much later. We went to another bar so my clumsy friend from Cleveland could watch bazeball. I cheered loudly and wildly for both sides. But I still wasn’t as loud as the IM-A-WHITE-45-YEAR-OLD-MAN-WITH-A-DEEP-LOUD-VOICE-THAT-GOES-TO-SPORTS-BARS-AFTER-WORK-THAT-CLAPS-LOUDLY-WHEN-I-THINK-SOMETHING-IS-FUNNY-OR-WHEN-MY-TEAM-SCORES-IM-SO-LOUD-AND-IMPORTANT the bf is from Finland which I think is a reasonable thing to tease him about. So he is always represented with a flag from the motherland. ---

Ah, after I posted and went away from computer, I had a sudden epiphany about where “Angry, With Broom” would fit in. Sort of obvious, really. Me is thick. I had some notion that the flag might be Danish but, well, ignorance fought, and I suppose I was _roughly_ in the right area. 🙂 Wishing you a mellow happy QUIET time next time you go out. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=lobstermobster] yelp is a website with bar and restaurant reviews. being sexiled is when your roomate is having his girlfriend over and plans on having sex all over the apartment and tells you that you have to leave for a while. You get exiled. [/QUOTE] I thought sexiling only happened in college, when people shared one room. I can’t imagine telling someone to leave the entire apartment. As for angry guy with broom–yeah, I can see why he’s so pissed. Assholes falling down and knocking over glass are obnoxious. ---

And about my friend falling down, he didnt have to be so angry! Sometimes, occasionally, things can get out of hand. ---

Funny Finland story: My daughter and I went to the UK for a visit. We went to Durham and took a tour of the castle and uni there. Our guide was from Finland. At the beginning, she asked everyone where they were from. We “won” the round, seeing that we’re from near Chicago. The guide got very excited and said, “You’re from Illinois! I’ve been there. I went on a foreign exchange visit one summer to Macomb in August. I got off the little plane I had flown from Chicago and I fainted from the heat.” We chuckled over the heat and all the corn. and now back to the thread… ---

I am a little concerned. You seem to have lost weight in this photo. It’s not healthy. If fact everyone in the photo seems too skinny. ---

What neighborhood was this in? I wanna make sure I stop in when I go home to visit… ---

“Aging Vietnam Veteran Transexuals are Impossible to Please?” Totally false. You just have to remember that they don’t have a clitoris, so you have to concentrate your attentions on…oh, um…never mind.
