Interesting happenings this morning at the Mutt:
- I go “Glen Ross isn’t here this morning, but we’re gonna check out this hill that he named ‘Blame Hill’ earlier this year.” Then I saw Glen Ross right in front of me. Then I was informed that Zoolander, not Glen Ross, named the hill. Meh, good start.
- There is never traffic in the neighborhood ITG. This morning, our Merkin Time Bomb was broken up by 17 passing cars.
- Good mumblechatter about the cars with frosted windshields almost running us over. “I didn’t know Elmwood had speed bumps put in” “What are all these nerds doing in the middle of the road?” “That sounded weird, like I ran over something, like DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH”
- Our work at Blame Hill was cut short by a homeowner. He comes out shirtless and says something like “guys, I’m all about working out, but you’re waking up my dog and now my kids”. Then someone says “Clearly you’re NOT all about working out, or you’d be out here with us”. It’s time to get up for school anyway, but we respectfully move on.
- Blame Hill and John Holmes Hill both suck.
- Deuce was complimented multiple times on his form during Merkins.
- Deuce was then complimented on his near perfect form while doing pickle-pounders and making eye-contact with anyone that would look. Not weird.
- And finally, I was given a gift that I cannot unhear, unsee, or give back. Wanna know what Buschhh calls a phlegmy loogie you spit on the ground? An Oyster. You’re welcome.
Love this group. Go spread love and good vibes during all the Holiday craziness and commercialization. You could be the bright spot in someone’s otherwise terrible day.
Hugs and Kisses,
