Naomi James (goodreadscomnaomi_james) | 54 comments Well put me on a griddle and flip me!

J.J. If you don't write about them I don't know what I'll do. This is just too good...but not...though it is.
After all the triflin' craziness of the past week with these um....females, ya'll find out that the one sister is a fugitive AND they have the unmitigated gall to pull the race card??!!

(throwing up hands)

I'm done! I give...I've thrown in the towel.
Where's Alan Funt b/c ya'll must have been on candid camera. ROFL!

Vacirca Vaughn | 294 comments LOL...naw, where's Ashton Kutcher? This was definitely from that show Punk'd. This whole thing reminds me of an old Chevy Chase movie...like his National Lampoon's movies...y'all remember those? These characters, um I mean people, would definitely fit in. Yeah, for sure. If not Chevy than one of those John Candy flicks.

Naomi James (goodreadscomnaomi_james) | 54 comments I agree, and I used to love those Chevy Chase movies. Plus John Candy's, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles had me in stitches.
"Those aren't pillows!" ROFLMHO!!

JJ,

If I were you, I'd watch Punk'd and check youtube regularly for the next few weeks. lol.

Vacirca Vaughn | 294 comments LOLOLOL you know what? I just can't take it. These skeezers (yes I brought it back) have no business on You Tube or My tube. It's a wrap. Let them stay where they are at. For real. And these chicks had a fight in a pharmacy... and didn't clean up.

Funny thing is that if these two women did have a reality show and acted the way they did on this trip, they would be instant celebrities...ain't that some mess?

Naomi James (goodreadscomnaomi_james) | 54 comments Sign of the times, ya'll. Sign of the times. Those skeezers (big ups Vacirca LOL!)would be RICH acting a fool on a reality show.
Could you see those two on a reality show? After one popped her broken nose back into place, and the other straightened her spandex skirt, they'd go on a shopping spree at some place like Versace.
Instant television success! ROFL!

The season is over, yet one of the women asked: "When is the next practice?"

Um, we just finished nationals ... when clues were given out, were you out of town or what?

The son who played with my son (so tricky without using names) wanted to stay the extra day so he could be with his buds. His mama did the "I'm gonna count to three if you don't get in that car!" She counted: "One, two--YOU'RE GROUNDED!"

Dysfunction junction, what's your function ...


message 57: by Vacirca (new)

Vacirca Vaughn | 294 comments LOL Dysfunction junction...

J.J., whatever happened to the coach? Did he ever apologize for his foolishness? Thank you for cleaning up after him?

And, if you ever decided to turn this story into a movie, who would you cast to play these characters...I mean people (the two skeezers, the coach...you?)


message 58: by JC (new)

JC (ainathiel) It's complicated is too little to explain all that. Also if you write it all out and down; are they sick/sad pathetic or funny pathetic.

This may not be applicable but one or both is somebody's mama.

I often feel the characters I write are mine and mini aspects of myself. How do you analyze and rate creeps you personally don't like?

The coach never thanked anyone, as far as I know. One of the other coaches took a picture of him, and you might be able to see a picture of him online by now. He said he would post it under "F-ed Up in Myrtle Beach."

Coaches are so nice, aren't they?

Anyone who would play these folks in a movie would be committing drama suicide. They'd have to be in disguise and use false names. I can hear an actress's agent now ...

"Do I have the role of a lifetime for you! You get to be foul-mouthed, cruel, stupid, foolish, random, drunk, high, beaten, irresponsible, hateful, wounded, and hideous! If you take this role, you'll never work in movies again!"


message 60: by Vacirca (new)

Vacirca Vaughn | 294 comments I still think the entire story reminds me of one of those Chevy Chase National Lampoon's films.

I was trying to picture these characters in my mind. But your description did the job just fine!

LOL@ the use of: "cruel," "random," "beaten," and "wounded."
