alert border patrol
I have a mere handful of hours to go before I begin an early and life-saving long-weekend.
For I do reveal — I am invading the United States of America this weekend!
Your esteemed narrator is heading to the glorious and heavily-wooded state of MAINE for an Indoor Ultimate tournament.
Whoooo! ORONO! WHOOOO! SEVEN-HOUR CAR RIDE! ROAD TRIP! FIVE PEOPLE! ONE CAR! ROCK THE HOUSE! YIPPEE! YEE-HAW! WHOOOOooooOOOOOoooo…
… ooooo…
[Cough.]
What?
Orono is not on your Top 5 vacation destinations list?
Pfft.
I’ll be spending most of it either:
- Sweaty
- Out-of-breath
- Mildly inebriated
- (What’s the opposite of “mildly”?)
- ALL OF THE ABOVE
I ask you… WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL HOLIDAY?

cookies
March 8th, 2007 at 11:58 am
And THAT’S what pit-stops are for.
I got it covered, lady…
But that’s some good thinking. You keep it up!
March 8th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
You’re wife’s not going, is she? She hates sweaty, out of breathe, drunk Jasons.
March 8th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
No, she’s not.
The whole 7-hour car-ride with four people she doesn’t know didn’t appeal for some reason…
It’s perplexing.

Tunes! Lots of good tunes!
March 8th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
And bubble-wrap!
March 8th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
I’ve actually (cough) been to Orono.
Your cookies of choice should definitely be Oreos if you’re going to Orono.
March 8th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Pop! You need lots of pop!
Diet Coke, Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc.
March 8th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
Slim jims, Corn nuts, iPod.
You’re going to participate in Ultimate ________?
I was thinking Ultimate frisbee - but I can’t imagine this is the prime season in Maine for that kind of outdoor sport.

And a couple of mannequin hands sticking out of the trunk!
March 9th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Howdy Sweeny, just sidling by to see what’s going on over in this crazy house.
will be absent from our local games this weekend? Yessss, that means me and Booyakasha might stand a chance for the play-offs. Doubtful…… but this gives me hope.
Kick some Maine coon cat ass over there this weekend Sween. Hah, does this mean all the “semi-decent” players
If time permits, grab some of that yummy Gonong chocolate in St. Andrew’s for me, and don’t forget to lock the doors when you role in to Calais.
Oh, by the bye, how’s that ‘crotchel’ chafing?
See you on the floor.

Suldog: The tunes were plentiful!
Mabel: The bubble-wrap was absent!
Karen: The cookies were sold-out!
Zeus: The pop was Mountain Dew!
g-dog: The sport was INDOOR Ultimate Frisbee!
Suldog: The mannequin hands were replaced with real live hobo hands! We’re now wanted fugitives!
[Pause!]
Not really!
But exclamation points are fun!
1loneranger: The crotchal chafing is JUST FINE! Thank you for asking!
