Burgh Sucks Like a Dyson in Texas

Jump to Comments

*Peeks around corner*

hello?

Anybody there?

HI!

Burgh here.  Yeah, The Burgh.  The one that AFF spends entirely too much time saying is funny and that the real funny chicks that were in charge earlier in the week talked up way more than necessary.  You know what happens when a bunch of people say you’re funny and go and build up big expectations?  Life grabs itself the most ginormous straw you’ve ever seen and sucks every last ounce of funny out of your brain.

Hear that?  That’s the sound of life burping on my funny.  I’ve heard it tastes like chicken when it comes back around the second time.

So, I’ve spent the entire week trying to think of what I would write over here.  At first, I was going to endlessly mock Southerners and some of the crazy things they make their kids wear.  But then I remembered that time I kind of sort of but not really inadvertently assisted someone else in proclaiming that jon-jons were grounds for your kid not liking you in a few years.  When I kind of sort of but not really did that, I wound up with a box full of Dora stickers and temporary tattoos in the mail.  The only thing I hate more than Dora is my 2-year old walking around with a semi permanent tramp stamp featuring good old football head.  Lord knows what AFF would do to me if I really let loose on some wardrobe malfunctions of the toddler kind.

My next thought was to provide a sort of list of rules for Puppy.  You know, a helpful guide to not getting your ass kicked by AFF.  I was going to suggest things like frequent manicures for himself, shopping at Tiffany’s at least once per month, and sending Calla Lillies each and every Friday.  Then I remembered that time I sent a set of nail clippers down to Texas especially for Puppy.  He might just find a way to come to Pittsburgh to gouge my eyes out with those nail clippers if I don’t leave him alone.

I thought about doing another one of my favorite kinds of posts, one of those ones where I go shopping for stupid stuff like creepy dolls.  The thought of AFF being stuck looking at a freaktacular baby doll on her very own blog amused me for at least ten minutes.  The only problem was that I would have had to look at all the dolls in order to get them posted here.  My brain still hasn’t recovered from the last time, so I decided that wasn’t a good option either.

In honor of AFF’s trip to the happiest place I used to work at, I briefly considered sharing some of the many, many, many stupid things I heard people say while at the House of Mouse.  That would have made for a long post and would have included wondrous statements like “I need to return these socks, please” (mind you, the guy was taking them off of his own stinky feet as he said it) and “How do I get back to the monorail” (said while standing in a part of Disney World that has no monorail service), but I can’t be sure that she won’t come back home yapping about how some ignorant Disney Cast Member refused to help her find the Tweety Bird t-shirts.  In the interest of not pissing off the ones I love, I figured I better not go there.

So, I’m left with nothing.  My funny has been sucked dry and I’ve got nothing worthy of this blog.  Good thing AFF will be back in a flash.

Sorry that I suck, AFF, and WELCOME BACK!  (It’s your turn at Scrabulous, by the way.)

  • Snot laughs over here . . .

    OK, two-year-olds with tramp stamps, gouging eyes out with nail clippers (OUCH!), Freaktacular dolls (yikes, I still remember that one–in my nightmares), and sweaty socks?!? Clearly your funny is in full form . . . even if you don’t see it.

  • Funny even when you think you aren’t. :P

    I must be the only person on the planet that can’t figure out Scrabulous. I swear I really am reasonably intelligent.

  • That was pretty funny for a non funny post. You know blogs are no place for modesty!

    And me? I still giggle at the thought of Puppy opening those clippers!!!!

  • If that was you not funny, I think I have to wait until I’m not pregnant and practically peeing in my pants anyway before I read any more of your stuff.

  • bwahahahahahaaaaa….

    you win. :-)

    Hahaha. Fantastic. Just fantastic.

  • I thought you were very funny :)

  • I thought it was an unspoken rule that the Jon-Jon episode was never to be mentioned again. And I’m not being fooled into clicking on the doll link. Scarred for life over here!

  • You know you’ve arrived when you’re ask to guest star! Not bad for someone who’s lost their funny!

  • Your funny is definitely not lost. I am very glad that you did not post the evil doll pictures, I finally stopped having nightmares about Chucky.

  • I’m thinking that the next time AFF goes out of town she won’t be asking for her so called friends to be blogging for her.

    And to bring up the jon-jons, freaky dolls and nail clippers all in one post is more than most people can handle.

  • Tramp stamp! My mother was telling me about her co-worker’s tattoo “right here” today and I couldn’t remember the name for it! Thank you! A little late, but you know …

    I hate the Mouse. Sorry AFF. Lived in Orlando way too freakin’ long. But I hope you had a good time!

  • HILARIOUS!!

    H, you and I are on the same schedule, right? Missed ya!

  • Ha! I’m dying with the Dora tramp stamp!

  • haha.
    At least it is a dyson!

  • WTG Burgh *s*

  • I do remember hearing about the Jon Jon episode.

    This has been a fun week. Great hosts, but we miss you AFF!

    And I did believe it when it was said that you never sweat. You look too cool in your pictures. You round collar, pearl bedecked woman, you.

  • Pretty freaking brilliant non-funny post.

  • Hilarious! OMG that doll, thanks for the nightmares of the demon doll!

    It has been a great week of guest posters but ready for AFF! Can’t wait to hear about the house of mouse!

  • Vewy, vewy funny!

  • I wish my non-funny posts were this funny!
