Thursday night my niece was being inducted in to the Junior National Honor Society. The whole family went to see her. She has this core group of about six friends that have been friends since kindergarden, and five of them were participating in the ceremony, so I knew quite a few of the kids.
Anyway, as the ceremony begins, the kids all take their places up on the stage, and one of Shay's friends is sitting in the front row. She had on a very short dress and black boots. Let's just say she didn't exactly look like she was being inducted into the Honor Society, more like the dishonor society. So, I lean over and whisper to my brother (afro), who is taking a picture with his cell phone, "wow, Z looks kind of like a hooker up there"....he turns to me, aghast and points to what I thought was his cell phone. Turns out, it was the smallest video camera I'd ever seen. And, I just did a voice over. Great.
I'm pretty sure I ruined my niece's video of her induction. I actually said the girl's name, and it's a friend of hers, so there's no denying it. And, while everyone else agreed, and some commented on the outfit after the ceremony, I'm the only one you can hear on the video, immortalizing it for ever.

I open mouth and insert foot on a regular basis. It comes from being observant and forthright....at least that's what I keep telling myself.
Your brother can edit that out with editing software on his computer, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Your niece may agree with you --that her friend looks like a slut. Your comment will be funny 20 years from now.
Did Afro LOL? Does he ask about me???
REspighi,
I love your picture . . did you take it? Where?
oh i so did that once at a bridal shower. my sister in law and i were bitching about how long it was taking for the bride to open the presents. it was truly ridiculous. we were saying stuff like.. what the fuck is she gonna do with 50 sets of towels?????? who needs 4 irons?? we bitched non stop.
there were 200 women at this shower. she had enough shit for 60 brides. suddenly we realized we were sitting right in front of the video camera.
she ended up divorced anyway,so i really don't care.
i do stuff like that all the time, but i think we all do. most of the time, i take stock of the environment around me and the key phrase to stfu is "Remind me to tell you that story i've been promising to tell you when we're in the car...." Oddly enough, no one ever asks wtf we're talking about. Just saying the phrase lets us know to bring this moment in time up on the way home.
This is The Nagual speaking.
Jenny Jenny Jenny...let's have a little talk about being forthright.
Your icon is a stone lighthouse and your favorite book is "what shall I put in the hole".
We have alittle saying down in Texas about that. "If there's a goat in the chicken coop your fritters are prolly burnin".
It aint just a river in Egypt baby.

This is the Nagual again.
Do you have the number of the girl from the video....and/or a copy of the tape?
Mavis and I would like to see it.
i snorted at the Dr Phil take-off (I can't stand Dr Phil)
Nag, you're cracking me up.
Bravo!
Oh, sorry Emma, he didn't ask about you. I'll drop a hint next time.
Hee hee . . .
I have a niece named "Shay" as well, interesting.
I once had my cell phone start ringing during a wedding ceremony --during a serious moment when everything was silent. Oh, and my cell phone played the theme from the Exorcist. :)
Thank you for the giggle. And I love Spidey's story, too.
This is a Special Bulletin from the Nagual News Network.
I have just acquired the Legned of Bruce Lee, The Young Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee: A dragon Story, and The Chinese Connection (starring Bruce Lee) for fifty cents a piece.
That is all.
Wow...you can have a Bruce Lee marathon. Sounds like fun ~~0~~0~~
This is an Update from The Nagual News Network.
Byline: tragedy.
Apparently the chinese have found some guy named Bruce Le and put him in movies about Bruce Lee. Of the aforementioned titles only The Chinese Connection has the real Bruce in it. But it alone was worth it.
Highlights- this movie is about Bruces hatred of japanese people but due to his spiritual transendence is also a perfect metaphor for republicans/democrats. (In this film the republicans are portrayed as the japanese).
1) Bruce formulates the Jap Wail Bang Fu fighting style specifically for the Japs.
2) Bruce visits the Dojo of the japanese who have poisoned his Master and returns the sign they have given his dojo (reading 'sickly asian men'). He beats on everyone in the dojo, breaks the glass from the sign, tears the banner in two pieces and makes them physically eat it. then he goes into the foyer and pounds some of the awards they have on the wall. Then he exits through the front door randomely beating on anyone who comes within his reach.
3) Bruce is at his peak in the use of Rabid Panda martial art sounds in this movie.
4) Bruce kills the poisoner of his master with a Liver Death Blow.
5) Bruce accidentally kills the OTHER poisoner of his master after screaming "Why did you kill my teacher" punctuated by 7 "why's" and seven Liver Death Blows.
6) Bruce dons 3 disguises.
7) Bruce hangs three people from lamp posts on two separate occasions.
8) Bruce eats real barbequed wombat while camping in the graveyard.
9) Bruces love interest is named Skank Ho
10) Bruce commits suicide by cop at the end of this movie.
Emma, the picture is of a lighthouse on Petit Maan, or something like that, off the coast of Maine. I was busy being seasick on a whale watching cruise when I took this.
