So I just gave the guy a phone call and engaged in the awkward palaver we've got going.<BR/><BR/>Hallmark can go suck it.M.

Ha! Get it? 'Cos our dad is tall? And it subtley hints at the fact that maybe we shouldn't take his advice? Because i don't even think giraffes live in jungles.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639492593003031259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113092406021807714.post-55227258393120866802007-06-15T14:24:00.000-04:002007-06-15T14:24:00.000-04:00Just got back from CVS, where I went to grab a car...Just got back from CVS, where I went to grab a card to mail, so that I could plausibly claim the delay was due to the mailroom fuckers at NKSP. <BR/><BR/>There sure are a lot of cards you can't purchase if you're dad's in the big house:<BR/><BR/>1) Humorous cards about beer. (No beer in the slammer.)<BR/><BR/>2) Humorous cards referring to your dad's penchant for gardening/lawn care/fishing/playing sports. (Seems like adding insult to injury.)<BR/><BR/>3) Sincere cards about what a good role model your father is, and how you hope that someday you will be able to attain what he has attained. (I'll bring my own salt & pepper.)<BR/><BR/>I settled for a card making a crack about how many bathroom breaks we took during long roadtrips as kids. It was the best I could do.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703827215039177341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113092406021807714.post-32016380874654465112007-06-15T04:21:00.000-04:002007-06-15T04:21:00.000-04:00you can always blame the mailroom...i have a list ...you can always blame the mailroom...<BR/>i have a list of "unauthorized items" they sent when they returned one of my letters; i will email it to you.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639492593003031259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113092406021807714.post-53760383738841852042007-06-14T23:18:00.000-04:002007-06-14T23:18:00.000-04:00Fuuuuuuck.Also salt and pepper.
