stories of yore

I went to acupuncture today. It was a pleasure as always. Though just before I showed up I experienced something I haven't dealt with in a few years. I was paying for parking when a small gang of uncivilized young men walked by. They were generally terrorizing people with their verbal wit. This one guy walked passed me and said to me that he had an exceptionally sized genitalia and asked if I would like to examine this further on an oral level. (only not as polite.) I was struck by a few things. One, being a woman is always something else and two, seriously asshole? seriously? This is what you say to random people? What an uncivilized piece of shit. I hope his Mother feels ashamed that she has produced that.
I was already late so I didn't have time to find a large blunt instrument with which to smack him and his stupid cohorts.
Gah...

Thankfully acupuncture relaxed me and put me to sleep. Though here is an interesting thing, There was a woman there getting poked with needles that I recognized. I probably haven't seen her in close to 8 years. She briefly dated someone I used to know. She stands out in my memory because she once propositioned me for a threesome with her and the guy she was seeing. I thought she was joking and said, "sorry I had a big lunch." It was later when her man toy (he was seventeen and she was thirty) and I were having coffee that he pointed out that she was serious. My oblivious nature is part of charm. I laughed and said, "well it was an honor to be nominated." I didn't go up to the woman and say, "hey remember me..." It wasn't the time and it seemed awkward. Still...amusing things to recall.

When I came home from needle-poking, I opened the door and this little voice said, "Did you get poked?" Senor Onion was entertained by the idea that someone had been poking me. (This is what Mr. Jenner told him) and then he kept asking to see the holes in my body where I was poked by needles. He would grab my arms and say, "where are the holes? You were poked." I couldn't disappoint him so I showed him how I could put earrings in my ears. "Look... you can put things in the holes in my ears." That blew his mind and satisfied his curiosity.

This evening, I am drinking cider and watching It's a Wonderful Life.

THAT EXPLAINS YOUR TWITTER!

And yes, that is amusing. I love little kids for the questions they ask.

Senor Onion will now tell a random person in the supermarket, "My mummy sticks needles in herself". Mark my words.

He already likes to point out to ladies if they have big breasts. So nothing makes me blink anymore.

I am in awe of your comeback statements Miss.
Too bad a cop didn't see those guys harrassing you like that. I don't know what I would have done/said!
I would be angry though.

Your son is so astute. Good thing you can appease him with your ears. Now he will think all people with earrings have had acupuncture. Which is kinda the truth, lol.

I would like to thank the movie, Dragnet for the "big lunch" line. It has served me well.

Unfortunately, a blunt instrument is the only weapon you can use on people like your 'uncivilized young men'....my first thought (and yours too, I bet) would be to zap them with painful yet witty barbs of sarcasm, but it would be wasted, cause they wouldn't get it.

It just made me so angry. Who the hell acts like that?

I think what partly made me so angry was the fact that they made me feel unsafe and mildly freaked out because they were a little too close physically. You know that whole, "ACK YOU ARE VIOLATING MY SPACE" thing.

I'm thinking from now on Senior Onion will be walking up to random people saying, "Sometimes my mommy leaves my daddy to get poked!" Right after his opening line about what big breasts the receiver of this information has.

Talk about a 1-2 punch! Those hoodlums will have nothing on Senior Onion when it comes to show stoppers!

Living in Munster has taught Megan and I a solid appreciation of good cider. Pear cider in particular.

How have you liked Munster?

It's a charming part of Ireland. The economy is about as appealing as day-old McDonald's food, but the people are nice and the alcoholic products first rate.

Sounds like a fun place.

Oh I think it is better to protect the guilty for the time being.
