Today is my friend Shaver's birthday. So I sent him my usual -- a completely inoffensive -- and utterly innocent -- text:
My thought? Everybody does the women popping out of the cake. Nobody does blog mascot Spooey popping out of a women popping out of a cake. Probably for good reason.
So, for Shaver's birthday, I'm bringing up an oldie. Many decades ago, Shaver and I worked at the same company in Kalamazoo. In my space was a dry-erase board, to which I usually scrawled Top 10 Lists. Looking back at a compilation of these list, Shaver remarked how mean some of them were, and how surprising it was they remained up on my dry-erase board without anybody complaining.
I think they just got used to my antics and ignored me. One of these lists Shaver dubbed "The Winner of the Nasty List Hall of Fame." For good reason. I apologize before hand, as I should.
Some background: Brenda and Terri were co-workers and Hot 'n Now was a (now defunct) Kalamazoo burger joint that specialized in super cheap burgers.
Here we go...
