Some of camera-ready (with the exception of D3 and one other regular that I won't call out here) attendees of Twin's 2nd Annual Tranny Transient Thanksgiving.
I love love love the Holidays. Well, I've always loved Christmas (Pity poor Perv. He's the original Scrooge that HATES Christmas and now he has to deal with me being annoying and humming Christmas songs during our commute to work, as I'll be in a chirpier mood right up until Dec. 26
th), and I've grown to love Thanksgiving now that I look at it as a day to give thanks and ignore its evil origins. There was a lot to be grateful for at Twins 2
nd Annual
Tranny Transient Thanksgiving, like the food,
James the Frequently Shirtless Chiropractor/Bartender's bone structure and strapping physique, 8 and Blow-Up sharing the same room while sprinkling sweetness and fairy dust through the air, and even D3 added joy to the evening (for the first time EVER) by bringing along a friend,
Rizzo-Worlds Prettiest Persian, that wasn't excessively hairy or ugly (also...for the first time EVER) and was actually fun and entertaining. That really helped blunt the trauma of me having to look at D3's unholy mug all evening long.
Popular Tobin stepped out of Twin's recycle bin and stepped up to carve the bacon-wrapped turkey.
The evening actually had a point of relevancy when we all went around the room to say what we were grateful for this Thanksgiving. Popular Tobin's speech was so moving I actually felt some real human emotion. It went a long way towards getting the stench out of the air from O.J.'s thanks (O.J. stated something like, "
Growing up I never knew any Blacks, Asians, Gays or Jews so this diversity is nice." ). From now on I'm firmly in camp,
Team-Tobin, for all the good that will do, and do my best to free him from the crowded recycle bin. Helping to further clear the air was Blow-Ups speech where she stated she was grateful, "
For Mik". Mind you,
Mik was home playing video-games at the time.
Twin and Tight.
I call
Twin's mom Tight because she is keeping it TIGHT! She is a walking-talking endorsement for Twin and should be trotted out whenever Twin has a new suitor. Don't worry. She's hyperactive so I think she could keep up with that dizzying pace!
You can see No-Nonsense Laura's spinach dip, which I hoisted from the office pot-luck. I passed it off as my own until the combo of someone asking me for the recipe as N.H.F. entered the room and hacked, "That Spinach Dip is making the rounds!" as he'd seen it the night before when I served some while entertaining Marja's brood.
I walked into the kitchen, saw this bread sculpture and asked, "
What the hell is that?" The persons in the kitchen (D3, Blow-Up and Marja) replied, "
Oh that's a sculpture of you!" I said, "
That's nice dear," and snapped this photo and swiftly walked out of the kitchen as I thought, "
That's one more thing to be thankful about. For not even in my darkest hours or gloomiest days have I ever had so little to do, or possessed so little common sense, to do something that absurd! Bless their little hearts."
And yours. Good Day.
Bonus Blogging: How Hyperactive Art Tight?
Twin's step-dad Omar Sherif, Kevin (you don't need to worry about who that is...yet),Twin, Beefy-Jon and Tight assembled on the courts. Baby don't mean to boast but my game is actually improving.
How hyper-active is Tight? Well, after it rained on Saturday the courts were still slightly wet on Sunday. A puddle here or there but still playable. This was not acceptable to Tight. Using only a raggedy beach towel from the back of my car, which she had to wring out with ridiculous frequency, she squeegeed the entire court while the rest of us stood there in amazement. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
