Only in Georgia?

Okay, this isn't going to help our fine state's reputation, but it's funny.

My sister and her family moved from the southern suburbs of Atlanta to Tybee Island last year. Tybee is ... well, it use to be the alternative Spring Break spot for those college students that didn't want to travel to Florida. It use to be small.. undeveloped. I'm not so sure anymore.

My Brother-in-law was a [ahem] barber. Not really sure how he came up with as much disposable income as he seemed to have. Drugs? Gambling? Don't know. Now he sells golf carts for a living so people can scoot aroud the island. But that's another blog.

They have two daughters, 12 and 17. Kaylee and Jessie.

(Finally, the amusing part) Jessie decided to bring her boyfriend up from Tybee on a recent visit to my mom's house. Imagine our surprise when he asks "Hey, how come you have a picture of my cousin Caleb hanging on the wall?"

I hear banjoes... they're everywhere.

Yup, he's one of my sister-in-law's nephews. (No blood relation, but still.)

Time's Arrow

"Pulled along in the tender grip of watches and ellipses. Could we please turn around?"

The Earth has circumnavigated its ellipse 43 time with me on it as of today. {insert Anthony Michael Hall singing the Beatles birthday song ala "16 Candles" here.}

Or how about:
"How whole years refuse to stay where we told them to, bad dog, locked up whining in a word or a misplaced souvenir. How the past chews on your shoes, and these memories lick my ear. "

(Dude, I stole your dog... picture)



Forty three years. Gee, I thought I'd feel more grown up by now. More secure. More confident. Fewer demons. Well maybe next year.

Oh, that sounded morose. I'm really happy. Very happy.

Free Beer

I can see it now... a bunch of guys sitting around after band practice...
"Why don't we name it "Free Beer"? When they put it up on the marquee, people will be lined up to get in."
"Or how about "Naked Chicks"?"
"Something more sophisticated... "Naked Ladies"!"
In unison, "Bare Naked Ladies!"

And so the band of quasi-geeky boys from Canada got their name.

Years later, they are doing the song for the opening credits of "Chicken Little". And being promoted on the Disney channel.

So there I was, half listening as the teen hosts of the Dsiney kid show introduced a band as "BNL". Hey, I know that voice. "B - N - L...that's the Bare Naked Ladies."
Censored.....Sold Out. Say it ain't so.

Lest we forget:
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

My turn

I guess I'm an artistic (autistic?) klutz. And a voyeuristic one, at that. And less than stellar intrapersonal skills. Go figure.
