It does sound like a fat man, tubby, chubby, bubby, hubby...ha, I'll hate it with you!

I hate singing Happy Birthday, but I so much more hate having it sung to me! In public is torture in fact. I refuse to be taken out to dinner on my actual birthday in fear that someone would be cruel enough to inform the wait staff! (shudder)

Jamie Felton (jamiefelton) Yeah, I agree. Terrible word. Maybe wives should just call their husbands by their fucking name.
This goes along with something else I hate which is when people shorten words in an attempt to sound cool. Ex: This girl the other day said "I really like your ensem." Meaning, "I really like your ensemble."
1) I fucking hate the word "ensemble" to begin with.
2) When she used the word "ensem", I felt like barfing. I could not even get over it to realize she was complimenting me. Instead, I felt like she had stabbed a knife in my brain.
3) I also really hate how my computer will not let me use the apostrophe key right now so I have to type out all of my contractions.

Michelle (ingenting) My worst birthday nightmare was my Dad taking me out to one of those restaurants where they have someone playing piano and singing in a corner. I was around 12. My dad had the guy sing me "Michelle" by the Beatles for my birthday. I have always hated that song. Before and since.

Uh, I was once engaged to this guy who had a thing for Elvis. He sang "Love Me Tender" to me in front of 150 people, acappella, in an Elvis voice...he never could understand why that was not the most romantic moment in my life (as I often sited it as the most embarrassing!).

By the way, I didn't know Elvis, but I HATE his music!


message 6: by Valerie (new)

Valerie My teenager's grandmother (paternal, thank you very much) wanted to have a Mariachi guy go to her high school on her birthday and serenade her with the song "Margaritaville" (her name is Margaret)...

I was practically torn in half. Part of me couldn't even believe she would come up with that inane idea and have the gall to actually think M would possibly enjoy it... the other half of me kept imagining M trying to crawl inside her desk due to the sheer horror of the situation. That was a tiny bit funny to me.

I guess you'd call that my mean side.


message 7: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (ingenting) Which probably explains why you referred to him as someone you were "once" engaged to.


message 8: by Valerie (new)

Valerie By the way, my hubby, uh, husband I mean, hates the word preggers. As in: The hubby got his little lady preggers.

Yes, that was the beginning of the end. He put the final nail in the coffin when he conned my friend Isabel into teaching him to sign (I used to go to school to interpret for the deaf) it, and he sang it to me again (this time in private) and signed it. As it turns out, as much as I hate being a "spectacle", it was worse having no one else around. The entire time he was singing I just kept thinking, "oh god, when he's done I'm going to have to say something...what the hell am I going to say???" Two weeks later I came back to Oregon and it was over. (Mind you there were other issues, I’m not THAT shallow!)


message 10: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (ingenting) He sang it AGAIN?! Sorry, but I'm that shallow.


message 11: by Valerie (new)

Valerie What DID you say??? (Also, I don't know that I consider breaking up due to a sign-solo shallow.)


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Val, I can't even remember to be honest, I think I blocked it out. We were driving back from Montauk Point and he just pulled over on the side of the express way in his brown Mazda and started singing and signing. I think he was trying to make up for the public humiliation, replace it with something good. I think he really believed it was "good", it was not! I'm pretty sure it was something along the lines of, "Uh...thanks...can we go home now? I think I should go back to Portland for a while."


message 13: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (ingenting) Don't forget "knocked up" or "bun in the oven." I hate those too.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah, I like "fatty", just call em "fatty"...they're already prone to crying!

Hehehehe...hehehehehehehe...hehehehe


Reads with Scotch how about muffin'top?


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

i like that one!


Reads with Scotch MY WIFE DOESN'T {:-/


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

That's because a "muffin top" is a (hopefully teenager) cubby girl with skin tight hip huggers and that lob over em! (Occasionally without a shirt that meets the pants, so you get to experience the whole shebang!)


message 19: by Valerie (new)

Valerie I don't think it's good form to tell your wife she has muffin top. At least you didn't add camel toe. (Did you?)


Reads with Scotch Hmmm... I guess that explains why I have been on the couch... I just thought it was a cute way to say " Hey babe! Your starting to show" Instead of, "Gewww! your getting a bit chunky don't you think?" }:-D


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh god Nick, this calls for flowers, chocolates AND a foot massage...you better get crackin lad!

By the way, the "Elvis Impersonator" as my family refer to him was named Nick...


Reads with Scotch |:-o Really, I Hate being associated with Elvis impersonators.... And I guess I deserve the couch...


message 23: by Kim (new)

Kim (kmdoubleday) You know what I hated when I was preggers? People who touched my stomach... on the subway, on the street...in stores...at bars (kidding) I had co-workers who wanted to put a red thread on my belly to ward off evil spirits... insane



message 24: by Valerie (new)

Valerie Nobody tried to touch my stomach without permission when I was preggers. Maybe it was that "touch-my-stomach-without-permission-and-I'll-kill-you" look I had on my face.

It was probably that or maybe they were just horrified by the thought that I had a huge muffin top.


Reads with Scotch I would have carried around a stick... I good WHACK! on the knuckles would stop that trash.


Reads with Scotch I suppose I really should call the misses and say something sweet...


The Crimson Fucker (tcf123) | -6 comments amy, HATING ON ELVIS???? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Sorry man, but Elvis was one weird dude! I realize that most ridiculously rich people have eccentricities, but this guy was above and beyond. As a kid, I loved his movies - Kissin Cousins - was a fav. Now, anything remotely connected with an Elvis song sends a shiver up my spine!


message 29: by Howard (new)

Howard (howardmittelmark) Gravid. Gravid with child.


Reads with Scotch Don't send the mob after me but who is amy grant?
