Knuckle Draggers

So, I'm sitting in my office this morning talking to Climber. From our office we can hear the guys out on the line. My team is funny because they constantly give each other a hard time, and no one ever gets upset.

They're yelling back and forth, and we can hear every word they are saying. But the only words they are saying are: "Yeah, right!!", "WWHHOOAA!!", ""Tear It Up!!!".

I will translate:

"Yeah, Right!!"---Used in many of the same ways "Dude" is used. Hello, "Yeah, Right" Are you going home?--"Yeah, right!!", You want me do do what?--"Yeah, Right!" Are you Crazy?--"Yeah. Right!"

"WWHHOOAA!!!"---- This means that someone has just done something stupid, or just got slammed in a joking matter.

"Tear it up!!"-- This means someone just bumped into something with a forklift, or damaged a box.

I hear this yelled a lot.

Anyway, Climber and I are listening to this and he makes the comment that my crew is one step away from communicating with grunts, "ug's", and "ooga-booga's".

Not long after that, they were coming up the aisle for break, and Knucklehead looked at Beanie and started grunting at him.

They couldn't understand why Climber and I were laughing so hard we had to hold our sides.

Than again, maybe you had to be there.

Corned Beef

My partner-in-crime at work and I were talking about restaurants the other day, and I mentioned a pub that he and I had gone to just north of Chicago last fall. It had the best corned beef sandwich I have ever had.

We were up there to go through some training for work. My partner-in-crime, who I will call "Climber" because he has a goal to reach the high points in each of the 50 states, told me that sandwich was nothing that I should have gone to this deli or that deli here in Ohio. I said great, lets go. He then informed me that they had all closed down.

HUH?!?!?!? Then why tell me about them.

I asked him if there were any still open, and he said none that he knew of. Sheesh, get me worked up for a good corned beef sandwich, then tell me I can't have one.

I told him that he was like a girl I used to date, all talk and no action.

He just laughed.

Which brings me to the topic of this blog. Why can I not find, in a city this size, a decent corned beef sandwich. I thought it was bad in Colorado Springs, and I thought getting closer to the east coast it would get better. But no, it got worse.

I guess all the good deli's were all replaced by sports bars. Not that I mind good buffalo wings once in a while, but what about just a plain old good sandwich place.

I know, it's not the most socially relevant topic, but dammit, when I want corned beef, I want corned beef.

And Now A Word From Our Sponsers.......

Hi.

Do you know me? I'm a world famous blogger, but when I travel, people don't know who I am. That's why I carry the American Express card. Don't leave home without it.

And now we return you to your regularly scheduled blog.

-------

Sorry, that just popped into my head as I sat down to type this.

I actually have to write about something else, and maybe get the perspective of a female reader, or two.

Just so you know, this blog maybe rated at least PG-13. I normally don't write about sex, but I have questions. If you want to avert your eyes, now is the chance.

My wife and I have a somewhat diierent sex life. Don't worry, it's not kinky, alternative or anything like that. It is more about how we go about it.

We almost never have actual intercourse. This is due to 4 contributing factors.

1) We will not risk her getting pregnant again. She has 4 large fibriods that make the chance of a birth defect extremely high. We did not realize this, or her OBGYN did not explain it to her properly before La Nina was born. We got lucky, but we do not want to push our luck. It will take a coplete hytrerectomy to get rid of them.

2)She cannot take birth control, bucause when she has in the past, it has cuased severe migraines. After she stopped, they all but went away. She still takes atenenal to help, but hey have, for the most part, stopped.

3) Latex, as in a condom, really iritates the membranes...uh...down there.

4) We cannot afford to have me fixed, yet. I have no problem with doing it, as it would keep her from going under the knife, but money is a little tight right now.

We do find other ways to please each other. I have become an expert with getting her to "achieve" with my hands and mouth. She is good as well.

My question is this. She tells me it is enough for her for now, but despite Saturdays call, she isn't in the mood very often. Is it really enough? Does she get disappointed that we can't go for the gusto?

I am okay with it, because I know it is best for our circumstances. But how is it affecting her emotionally?

I want to make her happy in everyway possible, but I just am not sure she is happy with that aspect of it.

If this doesn't work, I will try "Dear Abby"
