Last week was supossed to be a great time for the blog.
Mostly what I do for a living is put new products in kitchens. So, after the first week or so in December...it get's a little slow.
"Oh yeah...we can really do something with this...come on back first of the year."
"Come back and see me after the First...we gon be makin' some changes. This'll be great."
"Etc."
It's 'bout pointless to leave the office during the last few weeks of December and I was ready to sit. I had a list of topics to cover...
Fininsh explaining why Joe Strummer made a terrible Punk Rocker
How the adamparsons can't tell the difference between Collards, Turnips...and Cabbage. Really.
The literary genius of Satellite of Love
How y'all have utterly failed me this year in coming up with the definitive take on Memphis
I wasted Monday playin' Microsoft Pinball...it happens. Then, inexplicably...there was an appointment. Then a ride with...and anther appointment. on Friday. I never work on Friday.
Then my Daddy showed up...and I was home and there was a fire. Christmas shopping and a couple of Bowl Games. More Christmas shopping. Then I broke down and ate somebody's stocking stuffers...now I have to go back out for more Christmas shopping.
Anyway....
P.S. I'll be back in the office next week and we will discuss the adamparsons' outrageous characterization of the Collards.
Thanks, EF. A very merry Christmas to you, Martha and The Boy.
ReplyDeleteThank you ma'am. And Merry Christmas to you and yours.
DeleteThanks for not pointing out all the spelling errors in this post. Just because I'm awake at 3:30am doesn't mean I should get up and try to write on the computer.
DeleteSpeling mistaks? Wat speling mistakes? :-)
DeleteHappy Christmas E.F may the festive season bring plenty of joy and 2013 be a good one!!
ReplyDeleteRight now the festive season has me so flummoxed I thought it would be a good idea to get a coffee from a drive through stand in the Walmart parking lot. Don't ever do that on Christmas Eve. I could've driven home brewed my own pot and come back up here in the time it took me to get out of that lot.
DeleteMerry Christmas and happy new year to you ma'am.
Merry Christmas Mr Bartlam! I'm looking forward to all these things you're going to tell us about, teasing us with these snippets. Collards?! Wtf's a Collard? We have Collared *Doves*, which are kinda Christmassy somehow, but I couldn't compare them to turnips or cabbages. I'll resist the urge to google that one and await your revelation.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile... have a great time! And thanks for everything.
Thank you ma'am for coming by...and, Merry Christmas to you.
DeleteWe'll get it I promise...there's no way I have any appointments for this week. If I do it better be in New Orleans.
A very Merry Chrisrmas to you and yours - and many thanks for an enthralling year of blog posts: please keep 'em coming!
ReplyDelete(We're not just divided by a common language - there's collard greens and hominy grits to consider.)
Merry Christmas to you big man. You've had some good one's over on your's lately. I've been lurking without hope of settling down to comment.
DeleteThat's right collard greens...they are such a localized delicacy that I have a hard time getting them anywhere outside of the old West Florida Republic...it's all Turnips up here.
Now do you mean Turnips or Swede man? Sheesh, I have professionals on the case, qualified botanists... your just pullin' this crap out your arse.
DeleteYou ain't getting another merry christmas, you'll go gettin ideas about yourself.
Keep diggin' that hole...you're gonna burn your butt on the molten core of the earth.
DeleteAsk your botanist about the Mustards.
Happy Christmas Bartlam, and hope it had all the brassica any madman could desire.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you and the Fword and Godzilla.
DeleteWe save the brassica for New Years..for money...and black eyed peas* for luck.
*Like the beans Heinz puts in a can for adamparsons' breakfast I'm sure.
