Instant Karma
Friday, December 1, 2006
Karma has not been kind to me lately. Just this week, as a matter of fact, Karma kicked me square in the nuts.
I left work early in the afternoon on Wednesday to meet Donna's family at the airport. About 20 of us, in-laws, nieces, nephews, siblings, etc met there to greet my brother-in-law as he returned to Zion from his two-year Mormon mission. I tried hard not to remind the loyal Mormons in the family of the request by the LDS church to limit gatherings at the airport for missionaries because, frankly, I don't give a shit what the LDS church has to say.
If they don't care either, well that's just super. Though it does make for a good time to see them both defend AND reject the advice of their church to me at the same time. Cognitive dissonance is fun to watch.
Anywhoodles, after I left work, I'm told, a gathering of local bartenders began to assemble in the lobby of the building where I work. The whole event was sponsored by Budweiser and a co-worker, who happened to have done some work with the King of Beers, was acquainted with the event organizer. This friend of a friend made the generous offer to everyone in the office to help themselves to the open-bar and made an early Christmas gift of a cooler full of ice-cold Bud.
I had two slices of pizza and a Diet Pepsi while Elder Brother-In-Law invented new ways to avoid chastising me for my apostasy.

So sorry you had to miss out on that great event. Not that I know what fun beer is...
I wonder if they played any Garth Brooks at that event. That would make it pretty fun then...

...but in this case, specifically the lady's voice saying "kicked me square in the nuts," had me laughing.
Sorry you missed out on the beer and pizza. On a Friday, to boot. Sheesh.
Utah, oh Utah

I did my sexual teething on mormon missionaries, both those in action and those returned. Those are some horny boys!
Love your stories. I'll be visiting often. Couldn't seem to get the talky thingy to work, so I didn't get to hear the lady say she got kicked in the nuts. :(
You're AOK, Pete

Iconoclasm and creating cognitive dissonance are two of my favorite past-times.
You and I are going to get along just fine.
Hello Everyone
Ha ha...
Man, it is really fun to listen to the computer lady at Talkr say things like, "kicked me square in the nuts" and "anywhoodles".
Don't believe me? Listen for yourself.
