I was out yesterday. And I will be out today. Shopping...shopping, hauling bags bigger than me. Eventually lips parched, pits damp, throat raspy, I WILL head for water or 7 up anything wet. Soon after it will happen, as it always does.

The bladder being a viscious betrayer, will scream out, GOTTA GO. GOTTA GO. GOTTA GO, RIGHT NOW! And I'll have no choice but to obey.

I'll juggle my bags, overcoat, and purse to get into the bathroom without knocking children and/or old people unconscious. Then......the horror begins. I'll open a stall door, eager to obey the hateful bladder and the toilet seat will be sprayed with urine so yellow it looks as if it's wearing a mustard mask.....on I'll go bumping into things, to the next stall, where inevitably I will find a nasty brown smear across the seat. and so it goes....worse and worser.

On this new day of shopping I pray.....for a fresh seat. Only that and nothing more. Surely, surely, this is doable?

I totally feel your pain, I hate going to public restrooms.

Whats the problem here? Those floors look very clean. Have you ever seen the inside of a mens public restroom? It's like slogging through the Okeefanokee!!

OMG.

Can I just say that one (of the three million) things I hate about living where it's cold is the damn juggling of winter gear and that stiff feeling you have when layered to death with shirts, sweaters, coats, etc.

And THEN to have to balance and NOT touch the seat while shopping? Bloody hell...

Depends undergarments

jodes, it's the worst. And really bad today because I had another reaction to my allergy shots. Ay yi yi! I mean.... ho ho ho.

g-man, that cuz that restroom came right off of google images. I'll take my camera tomorrow and give you a treat. LOL!
PS. I have been in the men's room. Once by accident and once because I offered to paint the one where I worked. GADS! what a rathole! It was 10 miles past icky.

Kept, I could not have said it better, bloody hell!

Milky, the question isn't if yer on the list, it's are ya under naughty....or good? LOL!

Helen, after today, Depends are looking awfully sweet to me.

People, I have officially given up. The human race is NASTY! I know how the urine happens, one squatter creates the next squatter, yadda yadda.....but somebody explain to me....how exactly those brown streaks get spread across the seat?

And how about the non-flushers? I mean...COME ON! how long does it take to flush a john?

Today I actually saw a nice looking, really well dressed girl come in, do her thing, put on lipstick, and walk right out with no thought at all to washing her hands. ICK!

According to my blog roll nobody is updating...for like 3 days. I smell a blog roll blunder. How many of you have updated?

 

At 12/12/2006 6:57 PM, Blogger barman

Crabs, the only reason I am updating is I am using the Blogroll Ping page. From that page you tell it the name of you blog and the address of it and it marks you as updated. Not sure what the page is but it is above the links on my page if you are interested.

Sounds like you need to carry a wee battery operated pressure washer.

It never fails. Every single time. And I hate it. I can not believe that people are such pigs. Now I wonder how they would like it if after they do this they were hit with the terrible attack of I gotta go now!?

Public restrooms can be such a turn of of all fun you had.

 

At 12/13/2006 3:00 AM, Blogger Mone

I dont know about that blogroll ping thing, I have my list in bloglines and I'm not really happy about it. Some sides are just marked with attention signs, but I havent figured out how to correct the problems... And I still havent found out how to connect the linklist on my side with the bloglines feeds.
Jeeezz, I'm uneducated!

They took us inmates to the mall to see Santa as if we were some petulant children (I swear to god that Mall santa had some coal in his pants for me) and Ruby Dean lost her balls in the handicapped bathroom

 

At 12/13/2006 8:55 AM, Blogger Crabby

Barman, I may give that a look. I do see one update today on the blog list.

Pete, that's an excellent idea...and a blow dryer!

Gab, that would be such sweet justice! LOL!

Mone, public restrooms are the worst! Even in the nicer places that offer seat covers. Don't feel bad about being techie challenged. I'm right there with ya.

Iris, Ruby has balls? er...I mean...had balls. LMAO!

 

At 12/13/2006 9:51 AM, Blogger Crabby

ooooooo. Was that you over there, Ruby? Sorry. I'll send them back. I was gonna give them to Milky for her Christmas gift but, that's ok. I'll think of something else. It was just a weak moment.

 

At 12/13/2006 10:43 AM, Blogger MilkMaid

Thanks Crabs, I have more than my share of balls in this household.

Petulant?

 

At 12/13/2006 11:18 AM, Blogger Tumbleweed

Word 4 the day........squat!

 

At 12/13/2006 1:52 PM, Blogger Iris VonKornea

Petulant... it means IRKSOME AND IRRITATED, do you know anyone like that?

I do.

Speaking of losing balls, my daughter Peter is going in to lop off his balls next week, though they are not the type that would fit on Ruby Dean's walker.

I swear to God he's trying to give me a heart attack, what with doing this during the Advent season.

I smell Ethel's Nativity scene starting to smolder.

He should at least wait until after the celebration of the birth of baby Jesus is over, shouldn't he?

Lansakes, I need my pills.

` EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! Well, just be grateful you never lived with a guy named Ron. He would get brown splatters everywhere and never clean it up!
` Also, he left garbage on the floor and his body hair coated the bottom of the bathtub and clogged it all the time. I'm not kidding. I'd see it all the time when I was over there.
` And so the unfortunate guy who shared the bathroom would have to clean up all that.
` Also, he would not wash the dishes very well and just put them away for people to discover, hopefully before they started using them, the crusty gunk all over.
` Eeeeeeew!

` BTW Crabby, at least you have MONEY to go SHOPPING. I have a special kind of money called MINUS money, and a lot of it!

Or you could just stand up on the toilet seat and aim French styleeeee. Maybe that's just me that does that *scratches head* :/

French Style?
That reminds me of a poem!
The french they are a funny race
They fight with their feet
And fuck with their face

Milky, I do believe we both have an over-abudunce of balls in out houses...no wait...Smilin George doesn't have balls. We left them with the vet. That just leaves bob and possibly Webby but...I can't see his.

g-man...psssssssssst. Don't get her started on definitions. If you knew Iris like I know Iris....sayyyyy....wasn't that a song?

Iris, Peter's surgery is next week???? I better order flowers. What color ya think?....pink?
PS. Dubbin just peed on Ethel's nativity scene, the wires shorted and they're having a hell of time putting the fire out. Mr. Hinkleshire says Dubbin has to go! I explained Dubbin is a guide dog and by law can NOT be taken off the job. Now....we just have to find him and get him back ON the job.

Tumble, I don't have enough leg to squat. I'm 5'1 and a half, if I squat, I'm sitting. LOL!

Seequin, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Now see, this just goes to show...be careful how you choose your roomies.
PS. Actually what I have isn't money, it's bob's credit card. ahhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha! Can I help it if it follows me around?

Gareth, it's not nice to poke fun at the aimingly impaired. I got nuthin to aim with. OOOOOO, you got a poem dedicated to you below. ahhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha!

Maya, I rarely send fan mail but I must say, this may be one of your finest works. LMAO!

 

At 12/13/2006 7:14 PM, Blogger barman

Crabs, you just need aiming practice. On second thought, maybe you are better of not knowing how to aim. Webby has big balls even if you can not see them. That and a prick ... oh wait, I think I ment that Webster was a prick. Something like that.

Whew, I'm so glad for Maya that Gareth is not French.
I don't know of any 'English' Poets. Did they have any?
I do know a 'British' saying though..
Balls, said the Queen
If I had em, I'd be King!

Don't they have ass gaskets in Ohio, or has waxed paper technology not risen to that level there yet??

Umm Galen .......

The Bronte sisters
William Blake
William Shakespeare
William Wordsworth
Rudyard Kipling

Yeah I think you can say there are English poets lol.

Thanks for setting me straight...
But I thought Wm. Wordsworth Longfellow was American.

 

At 12/13/2006 9:28 PM, Blogger Iris VonKornea

Oh please. Hinkleshire is always trying to get rid of the dog, but you know what he hates worse than the dog? When I sit outside his office and moan incessantly.

I feel some moaning coming on.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Oooooooooooooooooh. Ooooooooooooooooooooh.

Maybe he's confusing cramping,,oooooooooooooh. With passion,,aaaaaaaaah!

so glad I'm a guy .. heh

 

At 12/14/2006 8:36 AM, Blogger Unknown

Galen I think you might be thinking of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who was indeed American (east coast somewhere I believe).

 

At 12/14/2006 8:55 AM, Blogger Iris VonKornea

g-man, it's been so long for me in the passion department, my innards are turning to dust and I'm constantly trailing sand from my britches.

It's not cramping either. Its called being an annoying, bitter old cranky bat. My daughter Peter locked me up in this shithole with nothing to do but think up ways to manipulate everyone around me into doing my bidding!

Oooooooh, ooooooooh, ooooooooooooooh!

In retrospect, I wish my dear sweet Horatio and I had had more children, other than my swishy son, because I think at this stage of my life, I could have great fun guilting all of them out and pitting them against one another.

 

At 12/14/2006 9:03 AM, Blogger Iris VonKornea

Oh dear heavens.... horrible news! My brother in law, Bing Walkowitz, just had a massive corinary! He's dead!

Oh sweet Jesus!

Can you believe my daughter Peter is still going to lop off his balls anyway! My sister Irma Jean is going to be relentless about him missing the funeral.

This is not a merry Christmas.

LMAO! I can't believe you guys are all over here playing while I'm suffering like a booger out there. LOL! C'mon...you guys know you wanna go shoppin with me.
