2: Ah. Good Times.

You know, it's not all deep thoughts, bad days and internal torment here at LucyMarch.com. We've had some good times, too. And on this, the almost-last day of the blog, I thought I'd look back on those as well.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is #482: Vajazzled:

"How does a person come up with the idea?" I said. "You're sitting around, bummed about the breakup, you go to your craft table, you see the glue, see the crystals and BOOM, inspiration strikes? She couldn't have made a picture frame?"

"I think it was her friend's idea," Jenny said. "You know, going the extra mile for sisterhood.  Maybe there was wine."

"And really," I said. "I mean, you and I, we're close. We live together. But you have to be a very special kind of close with someone to say, 'I know you're bummed. How about I come over, make margaritas, watch Pirates of the Carribean and glue crystals to your mons pubis?'"

"I love crafts," Jenny said, "but I would not do that."

"Me, either."

We indulged a moment of contemplative silence, and then Jenny said, "Krissie would."

Ah. Good times. I remember that post with such fondness because it was the first time in a long time that I'd been able to write something that was actually funny. I missed that. Then there's #445: From the Latin, Vexare, which I also quite enjoyed. It was the first time I'd run out of topics to write about, and just started spouting choppy thoughts. This would happen a lot more often, but the first time was a lot of fun for me. I got hooked on elephants.

We're going out to dinner tonight. Outback Steakhouse. Never been, can you believe it? Been warned against the Bloomin' Onion. I hear there's enough calories and fat in it to put down a very large elephant. That said, it's a vegetable, right? How bad can it be?

Elephants are cool animals. I like them. They never think, "Do I look fat?" And if anyone says anything they don't like, they just blow a loud elephant raspberry. "Screw you! I like peanuts! I'm afraid of mice! I remember everything! I don't care what you think!"

You know, the Mythbusters did an episode once that proved that elephants are, in fact, afraid of mice. And they are a gazillion times bigger than mice. So I'm going to remind Jenny of that the next time she reminds me that I'm so much bigger than the bat that freaked me out. So… ha!

Bats are freaky, though. I mean, come on.

But my favorite of all, I think, was the set. #396: Who Said That? and its sister #395: Who Said That? Answers. It was so much fun to watch you guys guess. And those quotes have become household staples now, the sourdough starter of household memes. Ones that survive to this day?

I'm gonna have a piece of bacon and a chocolate chip cookie and get back to work. (Jenny, said without irony at all, but I busted out laughing and that was it.)

Agggggggggggggggggggggggggh! I slammed my fingers in the door again! (Sweetness)

I'm sorry. You're right, 'I slammed my fingers in the door,' isn't funny. But 'I slammed my fingers in the door AGAIN'? Funny! (Me. Which has now morphed into, "It's the AGAIN that makes it funny." I'm not the world's most sympathetic mom.)

That weed was a whore. (Light)

I-BLE.  HORR-I-BLE.  You have to say it all. (Jenny, who felt a little bad, because we were playing Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish one night, and it's pretty cutthroat here at Squalor on the River, so I took her Birdie Number Elevens, which are her favorite, not that she's ever refrained from taking Skunky Number Fours from me, which are my favorite. But anyway. She looked at me and said, "Your mother is a horrible person," with extended emphasis going to the horr so for a moment there I thought she was saying, "Your mother is a whore," and I just stared at her as if to say, "Really? We're going there, are we?" when she finished with "ibble person," and the next day, Light was calling a weed a whore. Every kid should be raised in this house, I think.)

I STUBBED MY TOE AND I STEPPED IN PEE!!!!!!!!! (Light, who hates it when we bring this up, but seriously, I still laugh when I think about it.)

So, what were your favorite funny days here? And please include comments from the Betties, because I know we've had some hilarious contributions from you guys. I just can't find them all so once again, I'm sending you all out to do my dirty work for me. Plus, this blog is late, and very soon, there will be harassment on Twitter. If there isn't already. Go to it, Betties! Let's remember the good times!
