A friend of mine was speaking to me today about an ancient relationship, and commented, "That was during my food-throwing years." I asked for further details. "Melons. I specialized in melons." "Canteloupe?" "Honeydew." "Are we talking the whole melon, or little melon balls?" "The whole melon; I'd usually crack it over their heads." Read More
fighting
my long term partner and i actually had a numerical system worked out....as in: "oh number 3 issue" or "that's a number 7 with a twist". This actually simplifies the moving through quickly because we've had that fight so many times and it is always the same so why waste precious time now...just identify and move on because it either never changes or changes so slowly it doesn't even count. The number system worked for many years....now it's just a deep breath, a knowing look and move on forward....
re: "The Number System"
I LOVE IT! It's like that old joke, where someone just says "27!" and everyone cracks up, because they know which joke it refers to. But then someone says "16!" and nobody laughs. When he asks why, someone tells him, "It was your delivery."
Bros before Ho Hos!
Jellyroll!
re: Bros
Chucho Van Den Born frequently pops up commenting on my work. His thoughts are always very thought-provoking and it made me want to find out who this guy is. I tracked him down to a doughnut shop in Cleveland, Ohio, where, in fact, he makes Jellyrolls from scratch, and has some sort of language disorder which allows him to only speak or write whatever is precisely before him at the time. It's fascinating. The day I visited, he was putting on his sneaker, and all he could say was "New Balance!"
Your article is classic cool!
I fight to win! In the event of a tie: Arm wrestling, Mud wrestling, or a coin toss works. Nice one-up man maneuvers on the cupcake. Forget cantelope. Go for the Watermelon! After it shatters against the wall (because it's heavy and your partner is an elementary school dodgeball champ), you get a blood and gore effect! It offers a a moment of pause and pondering. It's really cool except for the cleanup.
Watermelon advice
Duly noted. Staple guns have also been suggested today, as being a more direct approach.
Staple Guns?
What a way to get nailed! I'll one-up ya.
Play war naked!
Ammunition: Watermelons vs. loaded gun.
My bet: win-win
=)
gluten-free brownies
mushed near each others' mouths makes for delicious resolution
re; gluten free
With a name like Moishe Oysher, who could resist resolution with you? I'm ready to do anything for you myself!
As for Kelly's war declaration, I'll pass. I could see watermelon vs. canteloupe, but I have a personal policy to NEVER fight with office supply products. Except the occasional toner cartridge.
Why toner?
When you can poker?

You know who I am Bubele.

Of course, i should have guessed.

Better than brownies--more nutrition. Well-softened, slathered with syrup. Use anywhere on the body. Licking-tickling leads to rapid conflict resolution.
very funny
loved the post. I'll be tuning in again.
gah! love this, El. You hit
gah! love this, El. You hit the nailgun right on the watermelon!
