HAPPY HAPPY TWEENER WEEK EVERYBODY!

I personally love tweener week. For those of you not familiar ..... tweener week is that week between Thanksgiving and Christmas when you can pretend ya got nuttin ya need to to anytime soon. I use that week to catch up on my gaming high scores and eat a lot.

Sadly Tweener week is followed by fading denile week, which comes right before, "Fuck me, I'm so screwed" week. This is generally the week you see people rushing around with tiny bald spots on their heads where they've systematically jerked out handsful of hair in utter frustration. It also happens to be the one week of the year that I develop....an honest to goodness, nervous tic. No matter how normal I try to appear as I speak to strangers, my eye jumps and twitches all by itself, creating great discomfort in the person I'm speaking to as they stand there trying not to stare.

Ah, well. Enough of the future. Let's get down and get funky man! IT'S TWEENER WEEK! WOOT!

What, you do not celebrate Fuck Me I am so screwed day? It has happened on more than one occasion that I am planning which store is open the latest on Christmas Eve so I can be shopping there last.

Happy Tweener week Crabs.

Tweener week sounds like a winner to me.

You crack me up!

GOOFY GIRL, you are always on the lookout to work on those highs scores.

Not to make this post about MEEEEE mememememe...but, Donnie had this SICK game he played with Big Kid when he was a little tiny kid. Trey couldn't wait for him to get home, to take off his nasty boots and 'check his tweens'. And then they sang this nasty little song about 'what's a -tween your toes? JEEEEElllly'. Thanks for the disgusting trip down THAT memory lane. LOL

Jodes, I'm comin over to see your post. LOL! Though I admit there's nuthin in the world better than Tweener Week. Cept spring.

barman, Would you believe one year I put off shopping for the MIL so long I forgot about her till Christmas eve, an hour before time to go to her house? I had to do all kinds of flipping and flopping to make that one work out. Just hang with me this year. I'll show ya screws up that'll curl your chest hairs. LOL!

Sal, 4 women??? Oh you poor man. You are screwed. Just enjoy Tweener Week while ya got it. That's what I do.

Sign, it IS a winner! It's the best ever. Ya just can't let yourself think about what's coming later. That's the whole trick to it.

Milky, you totally made my great Tweener Week all about you! I'M SO PROUD! And here I thought after all these years I hadn't rubbed off on ya but lookit this. You have learned well grasshopper.

Personally, I'd like the learn the jelly toes song. It sounds down right catchy and perfect for the Christmas shopping season.

I wish I was an Oscar Meyer® Tweener.

Zen, sometimes I wonder what goes on in your mind...then I back away...slowly. I have enough trouble with my own.

Milkmaid just made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

 

At 11/29/2006 4:37 PM, Blogger Crabby

Deb, she does that to me a lot. I keep a flask of mouthwash in my back pocket. It's really the only way to cope.

I, for one, am glad I am not the only person on the net who isn't done shopping AND wrapping. Hell, I've hardly STARTED.

Organization is for putzes.

When you live at Willowbrooke, dear, every week is, "Fuck me, I'm screwed" week.

 

At 11/29/2006 4:42 PM, Blogger Manny

People at work are the same way. I start reminding them in July that Christmas is closer then what they think, but they only shoot rubber bands at me. LOL

My only payback comes at tweener week when they are all still in denial and I'm walking around bragging that I am finished shopping and only have to wrap.

Duck and run!

Well, looky here. Granny's finally got herself worked up enough to cuss.

Hey Crabby, you got any brothers? I'm lookin to get laid.

 

At 11/29/2006 4:49 PM, Blogger Crabby

Manny, I'm thinkin it's time to give you a wedgie that runs all the way up to your nose hairs.
SOMEBODY STICK THEIR FOOT OUT AS MANNY RUNS PAST!

Shirley, welcome and YES! Matter o'fact I do have an adopted brother. Meet Barman up above.
Have fun bro!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I don't have nose hair.

Oscar Meyer Tweener AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

.........ahahahahahaaAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA!

Manny, you mustn't live in denile. We can't shave out what we don't admit we have. Go look up your nose. I'll wait.

Milky, I had a feeling Zen would get you with that one. LOL!

 

At 11/29/2006 5:06 PM, Blogger Manny

Found one! I have just added a nose hair trimmer to my list. LOL

Ah yes the fun weeks before Christmas when every CRAZY person is running around like chickens with their heads chopped off. Im a ah fuck Tomorrows christmas and I still have nothing. A quick run up to the "dollar store" is in order then maybe Wal-mart. Now I really hate shopping Wal-mart, But when ya screw around till christmas eve then your pretty much SOL.
Happy Tweener week!

Ahhhhhhhhhh so that's what Tweener Week is ;)
This year I am determined to get my Chrimbo shopping done early (like in the next week or two) because I hate jerking my hair out - I mean it's really sore when your fingers get caught in a pube!! :P

` Hooray for me and having nobody to Christmas shop for!! I'm only looking forward to college classes at ECC!

` BTW, Lou says that Tweener is a word used by assholes and that if you coach tennis, he will forbid me from being in contact with you.

Man.

Shit man.

I had no idea.

Look at me being all productive when I could totally be slacking.

This means I'm going to miss "Fuck me, I'm so screwed" Week too...

That is awesome!
Thanks for stopping over at the Castle. It is great meeting you. I hope you will come by more often.

I am so lost. Gifts who needs stinking gifts? Oh my loved ones...shite! Best I get shoppin'!

happy tweener week to you Crabby!
to bad I'm working all the time, but I get most of my presents online, so it shouldnt be so bad as in the years before, where the 22th of december was the great shopping day, hahaha.
no work from the 22th till the first of january.
thanks god for paid vacation time :)

*touches yer tweener*

Manny, I already had that nose hair trimmer on your list. LOL! I think Squirrel is getting you one too.

Gab, WalMart is the worst! I hate to even think about it but you're right. I end up there every year because I wait till the very last second. And I can tell you the last gift gets wrapped seconds before people get here. LOL!

Gareth, you're not supposed to tweak out the pubs, man! Just the hair closest to your brain........oh. Never mind.

Seequin, I don't know nuthin about tennis but tell Lou Tweener may be used by assholes but...trust me Tweener week...is a good thing. Lou just has to loosen up and enjoy it. He'll thank me. Not till long after Fuck Me, I'm so Screwed week but eventually.

Kept, it's a darn shame you're gonna miss, Fuck me, I'm screwed week but if it'll make you feel better, I'll have mine fully documented right here. You can live yours through me, while you relax, happy and smiling knowing you're work is all done. Damn. I'm getting depressed now.

lee ann, I will be coming back by. It's nice to see your smiling face over here too. Heaven knows I need more gals to help me deal with the ornery guys I get over here. LOL!

Josh, I know, man. I know. We are a people who put off things. How we suffer. Sayyyy, we should have our own song. Like one of those old negro spirituals. (I'm gonna get letters now, huh?)

Mone, on-line is the very best way to shop. I swear I love it. Grab a cup o'joe and just casually pick out this and that. It's a good time. Sadly, it won't work 100% for me this year. sigh.

Dzer, that is the best Christmas hat ever! I love this pic! It almost....almost...gives me the Christmas spirit.

We've got like tweener month up here in the frozen north! Of all the things I will buy the chaos isn't one thing I buy into. There's no real reason to freak out I've found. You can only do what you can only do and if that's not enough for somebody else then that's their problem. They'd better get to picking up the slack for you if it bugs them that much!

 

At 11/30/2006 12:54 PM, Blogger Crabby

Pete, well said! Now see folks, if you're out rushing around and you have to squeeze past a guy with a big red nose and gal scuffling along with DQ sprinkles melted on her coat sleeve...um...that'll be me and Pete.

Yeah thats right, I followed you all the way to Ohio, you teased me with the Pamper jingle, then went and high-tailed it back without nary a peep. Don't Be Cruel!!

G-Man! How are ya buddy?

To be honest, I really do sneak away and play my games during Tweener week. LOL!

g-man, I know. I'm a good singer, huh? ahhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha! Oddly, nobody but me and you seems to recognize that.

I'm a real passionate, thoughtful guy. Everybody gets $25 gift cards.
There, all done.

 

At 11/30/2006 6:31 PM, Blogger Crabby
