The Festivus Thread
OMG, Pip and Bev, your stories are really the genesis of the blackest of comedies.....and who doesn't love the occasional one of those? I'm thinking screenplay. Please consider.
That said I do feel for those 2 boys from Seattle. Would serve their so called mother right if you did absorb them into your family. Trust me they won't care if they don't get a $50 gift card. Just steal them and possibly even yet make friends with their fathers. Your brother will likely have something in common with them soon.

My BIL calls my home to see what is served for dinner so he can match his wine selection. We go out to dinner at a BYO and he places his order and THEN goes to get wine. EVERY SINGLE TIME he comes back with White Zinfadel. WTF???????
He berated a waiter who offered Sea Bass as a special. Going on and on about endangered species. Waiter was an Italian man who didn't really understand much of what was being said and frankly didn't care!
BIL sent make his TEA - no prepared properly. REALLY??????????? It's tea....and WATER!!!!!!!!

Airing of Grievances is too much fun.Pete (Mr. Marcia) wrote:I say we move on to the feats of strength.
Makes me feel better about myself to have everyone pick at the scabs of discord.
Wanna know what REALLY sucks and will make me the winner of this thread. Yesterday I was diagnosed with what may be an ulcer. The initial treatment to determine how bad it is? Nexium and NO BOOZE! I have to do the holidays sober!
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi...you're my only hope

Holy Cow Bev! I know some real fruit loops and he sounds like he ranks right up there.bevm wrote:He's just such a douche bag! (I'm sorry! But that's the best terminology I have). I just found a birthday card for him with a little girl with her finger up her nose and it said, "Celebrate your birthday with your usual style and class!". He didn't even know I was making fun of him....Moron.PA Girl wrote:Oh, I don't doubt that one bit. Bad behavior is his way of controlling the situation by playing the victim. He can make everyone else look "bad" as in "see, they think they are better then me because they don't hog down shrimp and don't wear headphones at the table" which, of course, you are better then him because you don't act like a fool.bevm wrote:I'm convinced he does this stuff on purpose so my mother won't want to come here for Christmas...
Oh, and one year he chucked a toy at my nephew and hit him in the forehead. Made him cry and bleed so he's banned from my brother's house. So guess who's left? That's right me and Crash and a shitload of alcohol...
should that happen, expect me to go on a Hunter S Thompson-esque bender when this is over. I'll go midget hunting!augie wrote:I want to hear the airing of grievances if, after the holiday season is over, pip's doc tells him that it wasn't an ulcer after all, and that laying off of the booze was an unnecessary precaution.
IT GETS BETTER!
So...my parents are taking the child to Disney. It was also forecast to snow here overnight.
My father picks her up yesterday and wonders aloud if they should get a hotel near RDU to avoid the 12 mile drive
"When did you lose your balls" I asked. "You grew up in NJ. Drive in it"
"Well...I know. We should be OK but I can't leave the dogs anyway"
"Leave the dogs where? You're leaving at 5:00 in the morning as it is. what difference would it make if you left at 10PM to go to a hotel"
"You know how I am. I need another night with them. they're like my children"
Yup...they're like his children. Having blown it on their 2 human sons, my parents adopted 4 dachshunds. Empty Nest much? Yup. So now they have 3 children (one died last year and there has been talk of how hard it is to outlive your children and that we should never have to experience such loss) who eat their own crap. the 2 human sons are developing into alcoholics.
Meanwhile...the plane went back to the gate to add more fuel and to await de-icing.
Is it time for feats of strength or should I continue?
