Good things come in small...

Me and Renee have a conversation.

Me: "OK if Im going to take Ava to MermaidSwim, can I go see Godzilla Sunday morning"?

Renee: "Sure.  Go crazy.  I’ll give you money for popcorn".

Me: "I wont need it, as you know, I will shake my maracas for the hot girls behind the counter and they will give me free popcorn".

Renee: "So long you hold out for a large bucket, its OK.  Don’t give it away for a small".

Me: "Large Bucket"?...Im confused… are we still talking about popcorn…or vajayjays'"?

Renee: "Popcorn".

Me: "Good, it was a little confusing there. With vajayjays, I thought smaller was better".

One ring to rule them all.



The true definition of marriage is a relationship in which you always have 
someone nearby to ask you if you know what the fuck you are doing.



This is why we can't have nice things...

I felt it was time that people at work recognized how great I am… and I was determined to show them even if it meant voting for myself as employee of the month.

So I created this award, printed it and hung it on the door of my office…





…and then I left my desk for 20 seconds and this happened…





Jealousy is such an ugly thing, isn't it?

12 Steps? That's nothing...

Original process:

Client issues an order to us.

New job is created by Jon.

I see the confirmation email.

I log into Quickbooks by entering my username (Studly J. McHandsome).

Create PO.

Issue to client via email.

Total elapsed Time: 3 minutes.


New Process:

Client issues an order to us.

Jon lights some candles and prays to the Gods of Accounting that they will grant his wish.

Marge ignores him.

I see the new order and ask Jon if he can create a PO.

Jon give me “the look” and points at Marge’s office.

I cry a little bit.

Marge chuckles and accidently spills some Skittles down her boobs.

I send client order to Marge and ask with great humility and respect how I can pretty-please with sugar on top... get a Sales Order Number generated.

Marge says I must choose from the following three challenges, if I complete one, she will issue the new number:

1. Must get thru an entire day with using the words Orale! or referring to Hilaleah as the crappier version of Opalocka.

2. Must find a vintage 1977 phone book from Encino California in mint condition.

3. Must provide proof that all the bad things in the world are because tall people keep marrying short people. *

I choose Number 2 because it seems the least likely to result in tremendous pain via a chancletta to the head.

I go on CraigsList to find the phone book.

I get distracted on the site and end up accidently soliciting sex from a midget in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While I have him on the phone, I tell him about Marge’s theory on short people. He agrees, he says that short people plan to eventually take over the world but for now he agrees to ship me the phonebook.

Two weeks later I get the phonebook to Marge.

She creates the Sales Order Number.

I log into Quickbooks using my username (Tremendous Lee Largewang).

Create PO.

Issue to client.

Total elapsed Time: 19 days.


** In the scientific community, this very important theory is known as the Jaramillo Midget-Giant Repose Conjecture.

Hole in One?

Saturday Afternoon
Going to play mini golf.

The place is packed. We get up to the counter...

He: "Are you here to play in the arcade or mini-golf"?

Me: "Mini-Golf".

He: "There's a two-hour wait".

Me: "The only way I'm waiting 2 hours is if the holes Im trying to drop my balls into are attached to a real live woman".

He: Uhhh.





Just because...

[Run]
Run.. (Run..) D.. (D) M.. (M) C.. (C)
Rock.. (rock.. rock..)
For you! (for you.. for you..)
Fresh (fresh.. fresh..)

[Run]
For all you sucker MC’s perpetratin a FRAUD
Your rhymes are cold wack and keep the crowd cold bored
You’re the kind of guy that girl ignored
I’m drivin Caddy, you fixin a FORD
My name is Joseph Simmons but my middle name’s Lloyd
And when I’m rockin on the mic, you should all applaud
Because we’re (wheelin, dealin, we got a funny feelin)
We rock from the floor up the ceilin
We groove it (you move it) it has been proven
We calm the savage beast because our music is SOOTHIN
We create it (relate it) and often demonstrate it
We’ll diss a sucker MC make the other suckers hate it
We’re rising (suprising) and often hypnotizing
We always tell the truth and then we never slip no lies in
No curls (no braids) peasy-head and still get paid
Jam Master cut the record up and down and cross-fade

[Run]
Because the rhymes I say, sharp as a nail
Witty as can be and not for sale
Always funky fresh, could NEVER be stale

[D.M.C.]
Took a test to become an MC and didn’t fail
I couldn’t wait to demonstrate
All the super def rhymes that I create
I’m a wizard of a word, that’s what you heard
And anything else is quite absurd
I’m the master of a mic, that’s what I say
And if I didn’t say that, you’d say it anyway

[Run]
Bust into the party, come in the place
See the first things come, the music in your face
Girls on the walls, some on the floor
With the DJ named Jay with the cuts galore

[D.M.C.]
So listen to this because it can’t be missed
And you can’t leave til you’re dismissed
You can do anything that you want to
But you can’t leave until we’re through
So relax your BODY and your mind
And listen to us say this rhyme - HEY
You might think that you have WAITED
Long enough til the rhyme was STATED
But if it were a test it would be GRADED
With a grade that’s not DEBATED
Nothing too deep and nothing dense
And all our rhymes make a lot of SENSE

[Run-D.M.C.]
So move your butt, to the cut
Run amok, you’re not in a rut
Each and everybody out there, we got the notion

[D.M.C.]
We want to see y’all all in motion

[Run-D.M.C.]
Just SHAKE, WIGGLE jump up and down
Move your body to the funky sound

[D.M.C.]
Side to side, back and forth

[Run-D.M.C.]
We’re the two MC’s, and we’re gonna go off
Stand in place, walk or RUN
Tap your feet, you’ll be on the one

[D.M.C.]
Just snap your fingers and clap your hands

[Run-D.M.C.]
Our DJ’s better than all these bands
HUH!!

[Run] We got all the lines
[DMC] and all the rhymes
[Run] We don’t drop dimes
[DMC] and we don’t do crimes
[Run] We bake a little cake with Duncan Hines
[DMC] and never wear the vest they call the Calvin Kleins
[Run] Cause Calvin Klein’s no friend of mine
Don’t want nobody’s name on my behind
Lee on my legs, sneakers on my feet
D by my side and Jay with the beat

[Run-D.M.C.] - (ad libbing to fade)
Jay Jay Jay Jay Jay Jay..
We don’t.. we don’t.. we don’t stop!
