I hate that I missed the president's speech last night. I was watching reruns of Operation Repo instead. Had it not been for that then I more than likely would have been watching The Food Network. I somehow neglected to add "the speech" to my things to do list. More noteworthy things were going on that took precedent over listening to the prez...e.g., reading Tiger Woods' jokes.
Yesterday afternoon I was hanging out with a friend. We went to lunch, spent a little time together and I actually went with her to buy a few things she needed. After dropping $50.30 on lunch [gun to head], we drove on over to a dollar store.
I made the classic mistake by pointing to an item and asking, "How much is that?" Duh. It's a "dollar" store. Get it? I don't think that I've ever been to a dollar store where every item was actually a dollar. I don't get out enough. Anyway, we came back to my place for a little while then left again.
The weather was great i.e., rainy and chilly so we drove around some, and I took her to a pastry shop for coffee...too bad it wasn't a "dollar" pastry shop. Then we walked a couple of blocks to a really cool, old fashioned book store. It's a quaint locally owned shop that always has homemade fudge on hand.
I had to leave about 4:00pm to pick up my roommate so I called it a day and took her home. What began as a get together for a cheap lunch at a fast food crapper ended up costing me about $65 for the afternoon, and it was worth every damned penny too! So that's what I did. How about you?

So this friend wasn't a friend with benefits? After all 65 bucks is 65 bucks.
I didn't watch our warlords speech either. We don't have television. We are so lucky indeed. I couldn't take seeing that face every five minutes.
Glad you had a great afternoon. :)
Sandee: Don't have television? I suppose with a computer at your fingertips you really don't need one. Hours that I spend watching t.v. has dropped dramatically in the past five years or so.
Hmmm... "spent a little time together"...at the dollar store, I mean. I'm happy for you!
now there appears to be a gap in your story. Went back to your place for awhile then left again. Hmmm.
And I'm a little upset that there is no fudge being passed around here too.
The Obamassiah made a speech???? Like, with the prompter and everything???? And I missed it??? How will I ever get through the rest of the week... oh wait, didn't "they" say a week in advance what he'd be saying? I do believe "they" did... oh well, no big loss... on to real news... how was the fudge, Don?????? Hmmmmmm?????????????
You spent $50 on lunch for a "friend" who regularly shops at the dollar store? That's just effed up dude. I don't mean to seem judgmental but...huh?
And inquiring minds are ready to tell you that afternoon delight should last longer than just a "little while". I'm just saying...
So um, when you went to your place for a little while, what did you actually do?
nonamedufus: Yeah. She was on my computer looking at her FaceBook acct. and I was washing some clothes.
Ann: The fudge was great. It always is although I only get down there about once a month.
Tattoo Jim: Fudge was great, and like you, I already heard the essence of the whole speech a week ago. I understand it was a pretty lame speech too.
David: I don't know where she "regularly" shops. Kind of doubt it's the dollar store. She is frugal though. More so than me obviously.
Mike: Told Tiger Woods jokes to each other. What else was there to do?
Those are indeed some great tiger jokes! LMAO
Well, while you were out lunchin' and lolly-gaggin', I was sitting here trying to think of ways to beat Dufus to the punch. Sad, huh?
It's not a mistake to ask how much things are at a dollar store.
I do it for fun.
Keep going up to the same guy over and over again with different items and, using a fake accent, just ask:
'How much dis?'
Hours of enjoyment.
The BoBo: Some of those were hilarious. Never thought I'd say this about Tiger, but poor, dumb, bastard! Hehehehe.
Me-Me King: Hell, schedule your post to publish at 12:01a.m. the day you want it to.
Moooooog35: Hey Rod...sad, but you're right. It's funny as hell.
