Tales From the Crapper

That's where I've been all weekend. Well, not really. Just seems that way. There I three things that will guaranfuckintee me a solid (?) couple of days on the crapper. 1) Chili, even my own concoction. 2) Lots of beer. I always drink plenty of beer, but I'm talkin' LOTS OF BEER. I did that this weekend. 3) Thai food. I could eat Thai food every night. Larb, Massaman, Tom Kha Gai...I could eat that shit every night. I love Thai food. But Thai food doesn't love me. Wanna guess what was I had to eat and drink this weekend?

That's right. Copious amounts of chili, beer and Thai food. And the occasional trips to the crapper are actually less frequent than I anticipated going into the weekend. What with the three points of the Bermuda Crapper Triangle on the menu. They are my own personal Axis of Evil. Except I am willing to engage in negotiations without any preconditions, unlike our current regime. I mean administration.

For those interested in this kind of thing, I made the chili (see yesterday's post), Gia's sister made the Thai food (better than any Thai restaurant I've been to) and the beer was made by the glorious beer elves that reside in the land of hops and malt somewhere over the rainbow. They work tirelessly to bless us with their sweet nectar. Oh thank you beer elves! We love you!

You know who else spent the weekend on the crapper?

The New York Mets.

Ouch.

You blogged about your bowels

Better than the crap I write.

(rim shot)

HA! a joke there! Just made that up! Ima funny girl!

Wait, now that I read it again, it isn't that funny. Maybe it would have been funnier if I would have said, "better than the crap you normally write." But that would be mean.

Well, whatever...

thanks folks, i'll be here all week, tip your waitresses!

But seriously Earl, light a match already!

Evyl - Don't they just?

Dr Zibbs said...

The trips were less frequent than you anticipated?..Looks like you need some help on your forecasting.

I hope you are feeling better. It's nice that you know someone who makes great homemade Thai food! I need to get it more and try some of the dishes you mentioned because I haven't had much but I have liked what I've tried.

Verdant Earl said...

Slyde - Nah...you were just boring me.

Dr. Zibbs - And I'm usually spot on with that kind of thing.

Teeni - Oh, I felt great. Crapping is a wonderful experience. ;)

Verdant Earl said...

Heff - I sprinkled some cheddar on top of my chili. Does that count?

Michelle - I'm only comfortable talking about poop within the semi-anonymous confines of my blog. In the real world...it freaks me out. :)

Lotus - What? I didn't go into consistency or stench. THAT would have been TMI.

Michelle said...

b.e. you disappoint!!!

Suzi Q said...

I'm with you all the way on Tahi food. I could eat it every day for every meal!

Verdant Earl said...

Michelle - of course I do.

Paige - I could also eat Greek food every night. Or Italian food. Or sushi. Or...
