Back Fence PDX Day!

Posted on | June 25, 2008 | 9 Comments

It’s Back Fence PDX Day, so click on over to check out this week’s story. The theme is True Colors and I can’t wait to see what people do with it. I was thinking about a story when I was in junior high and I went to a school whose colors were maroon and gold. And we had to wear tiny junior high gym shorts with our names written in marker on them. My last name was really long and I had to write really small on those horrible maroon shorts. And it was junior high, and I was a pale brunette in the land of tan blonds. Any brown-haired girl who has ever read a book will tell you, those gym shorts were the worst thing to happen to our self-esteem. If I could burn them, I would. And I would use the gym teacher’s hair to set them on fire. And yes, the hair would still be attached to her head.

For this week, The Underblawg writes the story of a family and that moment when you do want to be with Dad, and you don’t. If you don’t read The Underblawg, you really should. Talk about telling stories…

And, because I believe in too much good stuff, like I also believe you can never be too rich or too thin, and that a fancy car = a worthy human being, check below. The Melissa Lion Cooking Show: Episode 3 is up and running.

    OMG! OMG! You talked about us and daneeatsvegan!

    Thank you.

    Um…okay…I don’t want to be an asshole or anything but I’m pretty sure that meal was not strictly vegan.

    I mean, those hazels are really going to miss their nuts.

    I saw it! I had to let the video sit for 20 mintues and then watch it again but it worked and it was well worth the wait.

    My co-worker and I were laughing out loud and trying to cover our mouths so the others wouldn’t hear us Enjoying Life for 3 minutes.

    Ken: Did you work it out? I mean, did you get it up?

    Kristen: I’m excited.

    Apollo: Our first act as the blogkettes is to kick that bitch’s ass.

    KK: I think the capocolla, which is cured ham, is not vegan. But I’m subverting the dominate paradigm, you know?

    Kristen: Glad I could help.

    OK… so you mentioned me, and you mentioned my blog…. but what about how my belly is made of entirely of gold, you never mentioned that.

    I’m not mad… just disappointed is all. The worst thing that you can do is to lose the trust of someone you care about. You’re on thin ice young lady… watch it.
