Home alone.

[trof]

She's left me again.
Miz t. is off with some friends to a Mardi Gras parade in Fairhope.
She really gets off on scrabbling in the streets and gutters for Cheap Chinese 'throws'.

Go figure.
I don't get it.
For what she's spending on gas and dinner she could buy a few bushel baskets of Cheap Chinese Trinkets.
But I guess that wouldn't be near as much fun.
:wtf:
Maybe she'll get some Moon Pies.

And bring 'em home?
I like Moon Pies.

Anyway...here I am...once again...having to shift for myself.
:-(

1. I haven't had a moon pie in years...

I'm gonna have to buy some, because I don't think SonOfGoG the Younger has ever had one...

2. An' a RC Cola. The Southern Ploughman's Lunch.

3. My dear trof!

I'm sorry you're having to shift for yourself, sweetie!

Perhaps it would help if you could think of something you like to do, that your wife doesn't approve of?

Anyway, she'll be back with her trinkets, and feeling all happy and stuff...

And she'll be happy to stay home with you again!

:hug:

5. I am not shiftless. I'm OK with shifting.

No, I'm just happy that she doesn't insist that I participate in things she likes but I don't.
Or get her nose out of joint about it.

She likes the symphony.
I don't.
She goes.
I don't.

My non-approved stuff has mainly to do with food.
I like crawfish.
She doesn't.
I like liver...chicken, calf's, whatever.
She doesn't.
She won't cook them, but she doesn't get all pissy about it when I do.
:-)

4. hookers and blow my brother

hookers and blow :D

6. You're thinking NOLA.

Fairhope, Mobile, and the Alabama gulf coast, is a more 'family friendly' celebration.
Never saw a naked tit in my life down here.
Ours is more 'subdued'.

Now...the Krewes themselves will get totally shitfaced and do all manner of depraved stuff at the balls after the parades.
But the parades are definitely 'G' rated.

9. well, you can at LEAST find some blow can't you?

that has to be everywhere!

[trof]

10. Naw. Meth is the drug of choice down here.

Rampant.

7. What the fucking hell is a moon pie?

/ignorant Yankee behavior :D

8. Oh god...a Maine-ah.

Early in the 1900s, while servicing his sales territory of Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia, Mr. Mitchell was visiting a company store that catered to the coal miners. He asked them what they might enjoy as a snack. The miners said they wanted something for their lunch pails. It had to be solid and filling.

“About how big?” Mr. Mitchell asked. Well about that time the moon was rising, so a miner held out his big hands, framing the moon and said, “About that big!” So, with that in mind, Mr. Mitchell headed back to the bakery with an idea. Upon his return he noticed some of the workers dipping graham cookies into marshmallow and laying them on the window sill to harden.

So they added another cookie and a generous coating of chocolate and sent them back for the workers to try. In fact, they sent MoonPie® samples around with their other salespeople, too. The response they got back was so enormous that the MoonPie® became a regular item for the bakery.
