sentence saturday.....eventually

i'm not sure how it happened.

the weather was in the 70s all week, and i was finally going to celebrate by wearing shorts today. i shaved my legs and everything, just so i wouldn't scare small children with my long, lustrous leg hair. (did you hear that? that was the sound of my sibling cringing.)

anyway, i crawled out of bed about 45 minutes ago, chased down an appropriate short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and the new bouncy adidas, gathered up my laptop and headphones, opened the front door, and ........very quickly shut that door, dropped all of my worldly possessions, ran into my room, and put on about three more layers.

i'm not exactly sure when or how, but at some point while i was sleeping, it got cold.

now, before my comments fill up with various cracks from folks up to their spleens in snow, let me point out that south carolina is the first place i've ever lived that experiences the fluffy white stuff maybe once a year- if we're lucky. in fact, i'm a big fan of snow....which is one of the myriad of reasons why i spend each christmas in maine. i love flopping down in the snow, i love attempting to make an igloo (sibling and i have never quite worked out how to do it properly, but i still enjoy trying.) i love snowball fights...unless i'm getting my ass kicked. i love sledding, though it's just not the same as when we were little and did it on the hill in the cemetary down the hill from our house in maryland. most of all, i love catching snowflakes on my tongue (except in heavily polluted cities- those kinda burn a little, for some strange reason.)

in short, i like snow.

here in south carolina, when it does snow, you'll find me either snickering at the folks who are clearing out the bread aisle because half an inch is in the forecast, or else swearing up a storm in my car at the ones who are so absolutely scared of the white stuff that they feel the need to drive 20 mph......in the fast lane.

that said, i'm not sure how it happened, but i've become a little bit of a weenie about the cold.*

i mean, i was a little chilly in the 10-degree weather in wyoming (that was on a warm day). i was more than okay in maine, where it was a lukewarm 30 degrees, which did not necessitate the donning of a coat. so why is it that the 40 degrees this morning left me shivering- even after i threw on a thermal long-sleeved shirt, wool sweater, flannel-lined jeans, winter parka, 20' scarf, and three pairs of gloves?**

so, while i thaw out, how about taking part in this week's edition of sentence saturday? our first word this week is xiqek. scroll through the comments to find yours- and don't forget to leave a nonsensical word for the next in line. (or, online, technically)

oh- one other thing this morning- if you click on that link above my picture between 10am and 3pm (eastern time) today or tomorrow, you'll actually hear me on WNOK, playing music to blog by....or something like that.

*my apartment doesn't count- i'm paying the electric bill, and i'm a little cheap, especially since even with the heat off, the bill usually costs me an arm and a leg. i'm beginning to wonder if perhaps SO is recharging a car battery or something in the closet.

**okay, i might be exaggerating just a little. so what?

OOOH! do i get to start things off?? hmmm, do i make the first word? okay: Wnok

Upon opening the door and feeling the full effects of the cold front that passed through during the night, Duff's knees immediately began to wnok together uncontrollably, waking her s.o. out of a peaceful sleep.

brico was too pervertarded to notice the first word this week was supposed to be

xiqek

Well Lance picked up on Duffs condition right away he was going to fly up to Carolina however he caught the end of his mr Happy in his zipper, now he has to go for an emergency xiqek to have it removed.

bricotrout said...

once again lances addiction xiqek has effected his mental state and he forgot to leave the next word causing a flawless sentence saturday to come to a grinding halt.

I am sorry that I cannot keep things rolling, I feel into a smork after the procedure, I have to tell you though it added an inch to my day.

Crackturds

bricotrout said...

lance has obviously been smoking way too many crackturds as of late. along with his xiqek addiction it is amazing he remembers to put the landing gear down and rear flaps up before tryin gto land.

Brice had a reaction to stepping outside of the house and remembering he forgot to wear underwear yet again, he quickly grabbed the spare pair as he was not going to get caught smockgruding around the grocery store. Though the ladies love him for it.

Nippoopalator

bricotrout said...

On his around the world solo flight journey, Lnace had made it 2/3rds the way across when at an overnight stop off east asia he forgot to empty the nippoopalator. the extra weight caused him to run out of fuel 150 miles short of his destination. search crews looked for years for his wreckage. urban legends of the pale skin man who shoved his ass in natives faces roamed the islands for ever after.

Brice sent out a search party looking for Lance, years of hard work and dedication kept Brice looking for the pale skin man, then one day he walked into his own sneak attack, and was facebutticamed and the world laughed as the Buddhist felt that special spiritual connection with another mans ass.

We all wondered about the missing presidental blogger that was shut down by blooger international, then the rumours of being pervertarded broke and we all knew, he had found his own Monica, and The Gap sales soared.

After 25 painful minutes on the toilet, I stood up and looked down into the bowl that was speclimiful of crap.

Advances in genetic science have led to the creation of celleartrout, a kind of fish that you can store with the wine.
