LQTM

Well, since I post all of my zingers against, I decided in the spirit of making my blog fair and balanced, I'd post Mike's latest expenditure of wit...

See, Brian. I told you that you didn't make up the LQTM (Laugh Quietly to Myself) online abbreviation!

I really hope at this point you're full of excitement that you think you've proved Brian wrong in that he made that up when in fact if you recall I was in the car on the night of this discussion and did say I had never heard that before.

I hope you forwarded the last message onto Brian to prove your claim cause that would simply make you look foolish.

Get it together STM!

Itinerary Amendment

Well, while we wait for my mother's backlash against Ann's last comment, I thought I would make a quick amendment to the itinerary.

On Saturday, June 10th - Friend Day
- the BBQ is actually Brian's birthday party BBQ
- it will be at 6:30 pm, since that is after the golf tournament Brian's in that day (keep em crossed that this will also be a golf tournament victory party)

Brian would like me to note that he hates my blogsite and doesn't have time to defend himself on it.

Sweeney Todd

So, here's a trivia question for ya.

What was the name of the Barber of Seville that was also the name of the opera featuring him?

Picture this, you're at bar trivia night, you're in second place with 51 points. It's the last question where you can wager up to 25 points. Your team name is "America's Next Top Models," which you have cleverly shortened to AN-T-M. The last question has been asked, and although the obvious answer is Figaro, Mike insists that he knows this one, because the little girl in the movie "Jersey Girl" had done a play about a barber in the movie. There Mike sits, staring intently at the table, willing the name of the barber to configure in his mind. At long last, he screams, "I've got it!" He furiously scribbles "Sweeney Todd," and wagers 25 points and like lightning runs the piece of paper up to the announcer - so sure that he has won it for AN-T-M.

Although, you are distraught at all your hard trivia work being trashed in an instant, you decide it was all worth it, when Mike, with eyes ablaze, crumples with just one word from the announcer... Figaro. You watch as the horror of what he has just done consumes his face, and realize you can rag on Mike for the rest of your life, just by singing

Sweeeeeeeney Todd, Sweeney Todd, Sweeneey Todd, la la, la la, la la, laaaaaaaaaaa to the tune of Figaro.
