ALrighty hardy har har so INebRiated that Cleaning for the Monther in Law visit tomorrow has now become FUN fun FUnNy!
After weeks of abstinence (no reason, just haven't felt like it), I'm indulging in a quite good merlot with dinner. Well, dinner's over but there's still wine in the bottle so I may as well finish it.
I freely admit that I don't know much about wine so I buy ones with interesting names/labels.

Yes it is! And good for what the breasts are attached to.
Wow, now that's a wedding story. Certainly, weddings can be odd. Once hubby and I sat at a table with the six or eight bridesmaids, all of whom were high on qualudes. Never tried them myself, can't even spell them right. Those girls were really messed up, though.
I had an awesome night. I did! For some reason, though, the only thing that I can think about is whether or not to try to find a word to replace "awesome" in that first sentence because my stepmother thinks it should be abolished from the English lexicon. And really, no other word works for me right now besides awesome. I used "kick-ass" in another thread, but really, it was more like awesome. :) I laughed waaaaay too much. It was nice.
Uh...and what did you drink, m'am? Clearly you drank something....:)
I was skimming the post titles just now and read this one as, "If you are inbred, post here."My eyes are taking shortcuts.

This was one of the unfunny, unhappy topics of conversation that came up last night:Missing woman found under mattress in Memphis motel
The conversation turned very serious for a bit as we discussed how this woman's body could've been overlooked by hotel staff or guests. Apparently they rented the room out FOUR more times over an almost two month period (January 27th-March 17th) before her body was discovered.
That is unbelievable. And very very disturbing.
Right?!! One of the guys in our group is a firefighter/paramedic, and he said the smell is noticeable after only a few days. Could you imagine what two months would do? Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't notice it long before then for that reason alone. But also, how could they not notice a body under the mattress? Surely there would've been a lump or disfiguration of the mattress that would've been, at the very least, visible or could be felt.
sounds like a case for CSI Memphis!

Although it was reported in Memphis, though, it was actually in West Memphis... West Memphis is actually in part of one of the most impoverished areas of the U.S. - the Arkansas delta region. That's the only part to this story that seems to make it make sense, although it really doesn't.
But that's exactly why this topic of discussion stuck around as long as it did - several of us, including myself, don't watch television/local news and those of us who don't watch television thought it sounded like an urban myth. Apparently it was all the papers and on the television, though.
Heidi, that's exactly what I thought - urban myth! I'm wondering if the body was wrapped in something, a tarp, or some other plastic, that would keep the smell contained and less noticeable. Maybe the mattresses themselves were covered in synthetic material, and created a seal?
I think I still have cousins in West Memphis.
You guys can google it if you want... lots of stories about it out there. I googled "dead body found in mattress Memphis."

Which tec..."I don't remember where it was reported, but apparently the box spring pad was on the ground and it was a double box spring... And although they didn't say anywhere that she was shoved down into the box spring pad, it made sense then, that someone might've torn away the top liner and put a large plastic bag with her body inside there... BUT still... surely they'd notice it wasn't as springy where her body was under the mattress pad. Regardless, your post is exactly what I said when we were talking on Saturday night, too. Some of the peeps who'd been following the story read the headline as literal.
Ok, let us put aside the dead bodies for a minute and talk about drinking. I'm thinking of getting drunk Sunday night. I have to plan ahead because I like getting drunk the night before I take a day off from working out. I will now check the beer thread for recommendations, but I have some Heineken in the fridge, so I may go with that. Anyone wants to join me drunk posting then, I'll be happy to have company....
I'm thinking about doing a little drinking tonight, in the safety of my own home. Not beer though, I hate beer. It's a rainy cold night, I may just have a Cointreau.
I'm having tea first, though. No sense in being crazy about this. :)
Mais oui, Cointreau, mon ami. C'est magnifique! And really tasty, too. Orange and sweet and strong. Good stuff! Those monks knew what they were doing.
I have had one. And a half.Accompanied by about six Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. The only REAL Girl Scout cookies!
They go together quite well. :)
That does sound like a good combination. So "about six" -- does that mean eight or nine?
Mod
That was Sally, not me, Larry. Are you really drinking, Sally? I've stopped for the evening, or at least while I'm still online.
Mod
Ok, first off, how does one drink this Cointreau stuff? Sipping? Shots? Keg stands?I wonder if that first beer carries too many expectations, Sally...that's an interesting question.
i went canoeing yesterday and the canoo tipped over. me being a bit inebriated might have something to do with it, or that i like to canoo with my feet in the water. it's not good for the balance of the canoo, but the water is so nice and cool, but not too cold in case the canoo tips over. there were some guys nearby to help me empty the canoo so all was well.
it was fun! that and bbq'ing and eurovision song contest on one day made for a perfect day.
Sally wrote: "canoo!!"It's the first part of 'canoodle' which, as we all know, is a quite pleasant way to pass time.
i wasn't talking about that kind of canoo.
did i mention we won and i had already been celebrating from the first minute? alcohol and football are a very good combination.
