Self-Important Guy on Cell Phone: It's my understanding she's taken up tango instead.
Followed by sounds of silence, brief cogitation, then:
Moose: She's taken up tango instead of . . . yoga?
Goose: . . . knitting?
Moose: . . . bomb-making?
Goose: . . . blogging?
Moose: . . . a lover? (Or, lovah, as Carrie took to saying during her brief fling with Aleksandr Petrovsky.)
Followed by snickering, snorting, then silent reflections on the fact that July is, I swear to dog, National Cell Phone Courtesy Month. Hang up, people! It's a walking trail, not a phone booth!
Amen, Rox! I mean the trail has those cool herons, the occasional deer, the babbling brooks, and lots of cool people on it -- why yammer on the mobile?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, thanks for the belly laugh, Rox. And I've been thinking--don't you think that Malia should wear that peace tshirt to a Maryland women's basketball game? Just sayin' . . . .
WHA--? WHAT? NO, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. WAIT A MINUTE. I'M GOING TO MOVE OVER HERE. (Um, 'scuse me, I need to stand over here.) NO, JUST SOME IDIOT READING, RIGHT IN THE SWEET SPOT. OK, YEAH. I CAN HEAR YOU NOW.
ReplyDeleteOH, GAWD! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. NO, REALLY? BUT YEAH. SO WHERE ARE YOU NOW? OK, WELL I'M RIGHT UPSTAIRS. SEE ME WAVING AT YOU? YEAH. SO COME ON UP. AND WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT THAT? 'CAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. I MEAN, WHAT DO WE NEED A NATIONAL CELL PHONE COURTESY MONTH FOR? OH WAIT, I'M LOSING YOU. (Um, 'scuse me. I need to stand over here.) GAWD, IT'S NATIONAL CELL PHONE COURTESY MONTH--DON'T YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THE COURTESY TO MOVE FROM THE BEST RECEPTION SPOTS?
(What's that? Oh, yes, that'll be all. Um, yeah, credit card. It's here in my purse somewhere. Just a sec.) YEAH? OH I'M JUST GONNA FINISH PAYING FOR THIS, AND I'LL MEET YOU RIGHT OVER THERE BY THE COFFEE.
Love this post, thanks Roxie!
ReplyDeleteAny chance, Moose and Goose, for an exchange on Sotomayor?
EI
Hey there, EI -- Long time no see! We've missed you 'round here.
ReplyDeleteWe should get something up on Sotomayor, shouldn't we? We look forward to having a wise Latina woman on SCOTUS, and we are having immense fun watching Republicans try not to alienate the two or three remaining Hispanics in the party. We just wish a few more of the un-wise white dudes from the right side of the bench would give up their seats on the court. They scare us!
Good to connect again —
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say about Sotomayor?
She stuns me! with Liberty!
Hail Latina!
And how about Sotomayor vs. Rogers in chambers, fireworks.
