The new funniest man alive

Let me tell you a story about my neighbors. I won’t give their names, but I will refer to them as Mikka and Chewy.

Mikka is a slender blonde mid-twenties medical sales rep and chewy is a 30ish something sales rep. They both went to an SEC school and are sports fans.

It’s been almost two years now since Mikka and Chewy moved in down the street. We were cordial early on but weren’t sure if we’d like them or not, them being younger DINKS with whom we might not have much in common.

Then, over the last six months or so, we started talking with them more and more and having them up for cocktails and daytime cooks on the weekend and such, and we’ve gotten to be fairly close. We’ve had some really good times with them and are glad we became friends.

Well, after the first few meetings, we got a hint about the real Chewy and his warped sense of humor, and I was thrilled. Chewy is willing to say hideously inappropriate things at precisely the right time, and he’s one of the few people that can make me laugh out loud.

Well, Saturday night we went out for dinner and drinks for GBD’s birthday, and then we headed back to the BIL’s place for drinks and a game of TMLSB bashing trivia where I am forced to be on the women’s team and GBD on the men’s because we often are opposite on the spectrum of gender specific trivia. I know a lot of chick stuff and my wife can be one of the guys better than about anyone else’s wife.

After that it was back to our house for late night messiness. We stayed up WAY too late but had a bunch of laughs, until finally it was time to go according to Mikka.

She looked at her husband and said something to the effect of “It’s really late and it’s time to go.”

Chewy responded immediately without considering who was there and said, “Young lady, you’ve just earned yourself a little anal.”

And she just shook her head with a sly little grin as if he’d done nothing more than told an off-color joke or had burped or something.

I nearly wet my pants laughing at that. I will do my best to document some more of his shenanigans.

p.s. After they got home, Mikka looked at Chewy and said “You can’t say stuff like that, or they’re going to think I’m a whore.”

Chewy replied “You have to be comfortable with who you are, honey. You ARE a whore.”

Just knowing her and that that conversation occurred has had me laughing all day.

oh the humanity

Last night I was having trouble sleeping, which is odd because beers and Mexican food generally put me into a coma by 9pm.

Actually, I had no trouble falling asleep, but I started itching on my arms and chest sometime around midnight. Then it was my stomach, legs (upper and lower), as well as my feet, back, neck and face.

Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and got up around 2:30am to have a look. I could find no bug bite marks or anything like that, but I was clearly having an episode of some sort. i then went benadryl hunting in the kitch. I found the cream which, didn’t work out well since applying it caused me to itch more since rubbing it on was kind of like scratching anyway. The wife came down and helped me find the liquid and ran me a bath of baking soda and water which is also supposed to help with hives and the likes.

So I got in the tub and CHRIST THIS IS COLD!! Turns out we had no hot water for some damn reason, so now I’m sitting in a tub of cold baking soda water waiting for the benadryl to kick in.

Oh, and then 2Doh got up for some food. Yay.

We watched dateline until around 3:30am when I finally fell asleep. My alarm went off at 5:10 like usual and GBD said “I don’t want you leaving yet. Just stay in bed a while longer and we’ll see where we’re at with this.”

I reluctantly agreed and went back to sleep…

UNTIL 8:30!!

My itching was gone but I was still in the clutches of a Benadryl fog which I fought enough to get to work by the crack of 10am.

A sidenote here. I now understand why so many people come to work late. It rules!! Getting here at 6:10am blows when you could roll in at 9:45am, go to lunch in two hours and then screw around and leave at 5pm. I may have to rethink my schedule.

Anyway, as of this writing I still feel a bit foggy in the brain which always irritates me. It feels like the back end of a percocet high. But hopefully I’ll be 100% when I get home to:

1) help with the kids
2) fold laundry
3) find my camera lens to be returned
4) find my camera battery charger
5) find my ring that got lost in the house sometime saturday night
6) anything else that comes up.

Whew. I think I’m gonna go lay down under the conference room table.
