A night at my house
Aug. 19th, 2006 07:34 pmChris is cooking some form of jambalaya, with cheddarwurst, pepperoni, cubed ham, pasta, and just about every kind of spice in our cupboard. So while he's doing that, I call my mother:
Me: "Hey, we saw the owl again last night. Stood at the window and watched it for about ten minutes."
Mom: "Where was it; on the clothesline again?"
Me: "Yeah."
Mom: "That's so neat."
Me: "I know. Hey, what's the kid doing tonight? Ask him if he wants to come over and watch a horror movie about a demon coming out of a Ouija board."
Mom: "Okay. Hold on, your father has to tell you a horrible pun."
Me: "Oh no."
Dad: "So Devin wants to make sure I don't eat any of his Doritos, and he crunches all of them up inside the bag. So I say to him, if that bag breaks and some of the contents fall onto this recently spilled coffee, what will it be?"
Me: "Do I even want to hear this?"
Dad: "Flakes on a stain."
Me: "That is just not right."
Dad: "Devin said he's going to kill me."
Me: "He would be justified, and I might come over to help."
Dad: "And then, because I don't know when to stop, I asked him what it would be if he bought a package of Hostess Ding-Dongs and dumped them in the sink."
Me: "Cakes on a drain."
Dad: "Very good."
Mom (in the background): "What's another term for Peking duck? Drakes on a flame."
Chris (calling back a few moments later after I've explained all this): "You're very sick, you know that? I married into a twisted family."
Mom: *laughs*

Snakes on a Plane
Aug. 18th, 2006 10:13 pmSo. Much. Fun.
My younger brother thinks it's the "best movie ever". Then again, he gets a new one of those every week or so. ;-) Chris and I both enjoyed it. Not one for little kids (one lady brought a baby in. The kid was extraordinarily well-behaved, though, so ah well).
And now I'm going to get some sleep, and try to convince my body that no, it is not catching a cold. Rrr.
