I almost died. It’s like 10 minutes long and you NEED to see it.

Wow.

I have a habit of writing down random and amusing things people said during a vacation. We spent from the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to this last Sunday (12/3) behind the Orange Curtain (and going to Disneyland) with Liplash and Rargirl. Here are some bits from that trip.

DRAMATIS PERSONAE:
Liplash (L)
Rargirl (R)
Verso (V)
Teh Scoot (S)

* (V)See? Key to the house, key to the car…(S) Key to the City? (V) No. (S) I protest. It was in the brochure!

* (S) THIS ceiling does not tell me the time. It is a problem.

* (V) My downstairs has nothing to do with my neck temperature.

* (V) I’m getting you a shirt that says ‘Viva la Downstairs’!

* (V and L, soaking wet in DECEMBER) THIS is love.

* (V) Closed for renovation? How long does it take to put a Santa hat on a Yeti!?

* (V) A lightsaber is a laser SWORD, right? (in trying to convince L it would qualify as a mutual sword for the vacation mutual sword purchase)

* (L) I am a…(R) Mildly narcoticized poodle? (V) Giving Verso Vicodin does NOT count.

* (V) You don’t get to be an Abercrombie Topless Parka Man without a VERY good reason.

* (V) Hey look a bear!

* (S) Oooh, look! The Matterhorn (uttered at every sighting from the freeway)

* (V) Breaking news: Teh Scoot’s downstairs is flooded. (R) With WHAT!?

* (L) All songs come back to sheepa. Even this one. See? (sings) Fuh-leece Baa-vidad…

* (V) Maybe they are just freaked out that you actually have other people in your car. (traffic commentary)

* (V) Yeah, it rocks the casbah, but does it stop the catbox?

* (L) Whatcha lookin at? (V) I need a gift for my friend. (L) Boy or girl? (V) Boy. (L) Gay or Straight? (V) HelLO, FRIEND OF MINE!

* (V) You know what would be awesome? Set your brother loose on SE Hawthorne with a camera crew behind him. THAT is reality TV gold.

* (V) Did I just break a law by saying ‘yonder’ in LA proper?

* (V) Now I know why LA has a smog problem, you give it away with a Senior Discount on Sundays!

* (V) I think I’d be scarred for life too if Oprah peed in front of me.

* (L) I thought that would get your attention-sex, violence, R2-D2 and C-3PO. (V) Or as I call it, Toosdee.

* (V) I can’t feel my butt! I’m gonna hafta sit on Rargirl’s puffs when I get home.

* (S) You know what I haven’t seen yet? Sonic. (R) Really? The only one in town is just across the parking lot. (V) Quick, say something else you haven’t seen!

* (V) It’s all a blur of ears and juleps.

* (S) Once again, it is time to disemjulep.

* (V) Doesn’t Dole Whip count as fruit?

* (R) Poor The Scoot, this must be HELLo Kitty for him…

* (V) I think it’s time to stop blaming Tom Bergeron and start blaming “Unaccompanied Minors.”

* (L) Splash Mountain Spirit Fingers!

* (V) Big Thunder my ass! This is Brokedown Mountain Railroad.

And now two haiku I wrote about LA driving and one about a place in Pasadena:

Concrete and headlights
Endless “rush hour” traffic
Welcome to LA
–
Bump Bounce Bump Bounce Bump
We’ll either make it home or
Tran will shake apart.
–
Poobah’s Record Shop
Look at all the Depeche Mode
Shit! I own them all.

So in a nutshell (and three pages of my Moleskine notebook), that’s my trip to Disneyland. (:

Rargirl, honey-

I believe the Rebel Yell you are currently in possession of belongs to Billy Idol. And FOR THE LOVE OF GORD I need for you to give it back. This is so confusing. I don’t think it’s heinous, but it’s NOT for him IMNSHO. OTOH, it did work for Brian Setzer, didn’t it?

More Here, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Anyway. If you get a chance, I think you should send his Rebel Yell back to him and try to prevent a tragedy on the scale of Regis The Christmas Album. Thanks.

Will they call the first one The Fellowship Of Vanity’s Mirror?

These are things I am desperate to know.
