I Need The Weekend

Lots of grilling tonight, more bbq every day following.

Oh, and lots of wine.

What are your plans?

Yeah, it's weak but I am so &*%#$@^ tired of all the sheeeet coming out of our Political Leaders these days that I just want to crawl into a hole and hide.

So I will, for the next three days.

You're welcome to join me.

Happy Holiday Weekend to you dear Mr. Bingley! I hope all in the U.S. will enjoy a relaxing and happy break. Meantime over here I'll be watching BBC to keep track of those slippery Political Lieders.

(But their make-up should be bang-up considering what they spent on it, right, Ave?)

You should tell the people that you wear a Kiss The Cook apron and one of those puffy hats when you grill. The crowd would be so big you'd have to sell tickets.

Uh-oh. Open tag.

I'm afraid it would be even bigger if it said "Kick the Cook"...

Hello THS! Hey, let's coordinate our visits to Bingley next time. How much box wine do you think he'll need to lay in for this great event? Sadly, box wine of such quality is just not available here.

Oh, darling SIL, would I not LOVE to?!?!?! A pallet-load would suffice for starters. The perfect plan, BUT...is he M.A.N. enough to withstand the onslaught?

I'm S.M.A.R.T. enough to change all the locks on the house and draw the blinds.

Or drink myself blind.

I had a feeling your grill would be going this weekend! Tomorrow morning I'll be on a train to DC to see younger sister--and we'll grill at her house. I'm bringing sweet/salty mix and some other crunchy mix that hopefully will survive the trip.

Much easier to get booze down there. They have it in supermarkets and such. :)

I'm grilling myself.....first of the year! Mmmmm......grilled steak!

You're grilling yourself?

Dude...

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 22, 2009 04:20 PM

That sounds very civilized, Kate!

Have a safe trip!

I'll be grilling this weekend too, but I won't be grilling myself. I did that once and it hurt.

On saturday evening I'll be at Zanies comedy club for a double bill of "Otto and George" and then John Valby. Sunday is reserved for Terminator; Salvation.

A box of Vella's Cabernet Sauvignon will sustain me for the entire three day weekend.

I just opened up a new box of the Merlot, Guns!

Dave, that's what separates us from lemurs: we learn from our mistakes.

You always seemed to me like the kind of fellow who should be fried, not grilled.

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 22, 2009 05:55 PM

I have to be civilized, Bingley--these are people she went to college with. . . must get the f-word out of my system before I get there. Funny how they have no probs with drinking, though. :)

Posted by: Kate P at May 22, 2009 07:21 PM

I'm hoping the Cabernet will be as good as the Merlot.

Posted by: Gunslinger at May 22, 2009 07:44 PM

It is. :D

Posted by: Gunslinger at May 22, 2009 08:45 PM

Haha...great minds think alike. Just teasing, Jeff.

I've never been fried, Mr. B, but back in the day I did get baked once in a while.

"John Valby"

Dr. Dirty?!?!!?

I profiled him for our local communist weekly a while back. And it turns out Ebola already knew ALL about him.
