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.
nope you can be sexiled at any point in your life. 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.”
Damn I miss the city! I haven’t run into ONE aging Vietnam Veteran Transexual with PTSD and boundary issues since I left.
Lots of aging Vietnam Veteran Transexuals with PTSD and no boundary issues, of course… and lots of Civilian Aging Transexuals with PTSD and boundary issues, sure… But you hit the motherlode!
What neighborhood was this in? I wanna make sure I stop in when I go home to visit…
And, to me, that makes sense. Add me to the list of people who appreciate your illustration and story. I’m not going to have to go to MPSIMS to read more, will I?
That’s how you know she wasn’t lying about being in Macomb.
“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.
