and here's something
weird: my place
in Humor 3-space

Monday, November 24, 2003
 
The lady on the phone just said "happy holidays!" to me, which gives me the willies already without the added twist: why the non-denominational holiday wish for Thanksgiving? Like maybe I celebrate some alternate Jewish version where we thank God for saving us from the ignominy of foreskins? Customer service people have gotten hypersensitive to the point of non sequitur. When I sneezed the lady said "may your higher power bless you, or do whatever your higher power (or powers) do in the event of a sneeze, unless you are an atheist, in which case I sincerely hope you aren't getting a cold." I was so scared that I smashed the receiver through the front of my monitor and sprayed the sparking mess with Lysol until the can ran out.
     Still, the empty phrase puts me in the mind of hideously awkward gatherings of people, and oh god the stupid fucking ten-year high school reunion is this weekend, and Jackie is pouring the guilt on like hot razor juice, begging me to go with her, because otherwise "it won't be any fun." Whaaa? The fuck? We see each other every wiggidy week. WHY WOULD YOU GO IF IT WOULDN'T BE FUN WITHOUT ME? But she managed to soak her parents for the $70, so her logic goes: if you have ten drinks it's a fair deal. I'm like: dood, I don't drink, and since I don't want to see most of these people anyway, I definitely don't want to see them in a compressed 4-hour marathon to drink the ticket price in cheap hooch at what looks to be the tackiest restaurant in New York. Oh god.
     Or do I? It could be fun, especially because I'm pretty sure I won't see them again for ten years, and I could do or say just about anything. I could grope people, vomit on the dance floor, or fill my pockets with silverware. No. I think I shall play Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in my underpants all weekend. Look! I have a sword! I'm a magical, acrobatic prince!
     I may muse further on the reunion tomorrow, but after that I will not post until next Monday. I should have something frothy for you by then. Happy Thanksfortakingmyforeskin!

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
