Moonspun Spins

I am playing hooky (with GB’s permission) from work today because I wanted to keep treading water and not drowning in my academic work. So I am home having a pretty productive day thus far. But I had to pop up and say hello!

If you have not gone to the website for Very Demotivational Posters, you must! Add it to your reader, I promise you will be highly amused and appalled several times a day. Like yesterday I sent this one to RP and told him I was glad that THIS was NOT what he looked like. For comparison, here is a post from last summer with a pic of my ‘buff’ hubby playing volleyball.

Anyway, so I was taking a break before delving into working on my final project on the Civil War and I saw today’s picture. And laughed aloud, sent it to GB and realized it reminded me to two things.

First, the picture, please check it out now…it will only take a second and what I say afterwards will make sense if you see it….

Go here now.

Great. So when I was in high school and college, there was a $1 movie theatre that we went to, because well, movies were $1! And it was called the “Flick” Ok…so given the picture can  you imagine what my cousin JB and I called the theatre. Yep you guessed it! The “Fuck” theatre. And when I think about it now I sit here giggling to myself  thinking of us making plans. JB: “Are we going to see blah blah movie?” Me: “Sure! Where is it playing?” JB: “The Fuck” Me: “Great! Are you coming home first or should I meet you at the Fuck?” (JB worked across the street at a grocery store). JB: “Meet me at the Fuck”

Let’s say you knew someone whose first name was Lisa. Imagine said name on a gold necklace worn around her neck. Yea, that baby looked like it said “USA”. Now think about how self-conscious you are in junior high school. How long do you think said girl wore the “USA” necklace? Right, not so long…

Happy Friday!
