It was a senseless, tragic, accident. She fell and couldn't get up. By the time they found her she had drown in her own drool. The, dear, dear, woman. How she must have suffered. If only she'd had one of those medic alert necklaces with the button on it. Sadly last months contest did not have a cash prize so I couldn't loan Gramma the 50 bucks "and" get my new camera. Life is so unfair!

What can I say about my Gramma? Most of us referred to her as, "The Gripper". She had terrible bouts of constipation due to her passion for various yellow cheeses. Consequently she left quite a noxious trail behind wherever she went. Some of the family shunned her because of that rotten egg smell. But not me! I loved my Gramma. I always rubbed mineral oil on her bloated tummy and gifted her with many dried prunes, while she sang Beautiful Dreamer just for me.

I was fortunate to be with Gramma when she passed. Her last words to me were, "Win one for the Gripper."

Oh, how can I even think about that blogger interview contest now? What will I do with all these left over prunes? I mean after all, it's only 50 DOLLARS. So what if I'm unemployed? What does it matter now that gramma's gone?

But, it was her dying wish. And as bloggers everywhere are my witness, I will fight to win this for, "The Gripper". God bless her!

Now go people. Go and VOTE! GIVE CRABBY A THUMBS UP and when you do comment loud and clear.....THIS ONE RIGHT "HERE" IS FOR THE GRIPPER!

Sorry for your loss and looking forward to your win.

Barman, I have half a bottle of mineral oil left over. Do you want it?

Lime, (sigh) I don't know how you can laugh at a time like this. Well, at least we can take comfort knowing that Gramma is now farting in heaven.

Justacoolcat, I'm looking forward to that win too. I'm gonna buy grandma a headstone and use the 50 bucks to have a nice longhorn colby engraved on it. Isn't that nice of me?

You should be on one of those cheesy soap operas, like General Hospital. You'd make a good New Carly.

I could so play Carly in my sleep.
'scuse me. I'm in mourning now. Besides, I have to go dig the hole to bury my gramma in since I don't have $50 for a proper funeral. (sniff)

You are entirely shameless! :)

So I can't visit Milky's page any more because of that Absolut man. He is almost a dead ringer (sorry about the "dead" reference while you're steeped in grief) for my boyfriend, whom I miss terribly! I can't look at that picture! Make me all mushy and my knees give out from under me. (Okay, I don't use my knees much when I'm sitting, but still.. it's uncomfortable!) and NOW I have to see that damn guy right here!

*Teri runs away screaming!*

Cat, want me to paint a mustache on Milky's absolute guy? Give him a wig? I can hook ya up.

Do NOT touch my Absolut Man.

I mean it.

I just gave 15 Minute Lunch 38 thumbs up.

 

At 8/24/2007 4:24 PM, Blogger Crabby

Oh yeah, well I just gave your absolute man a big fat wedgie. And I painted a booger in his nose too.

 

At 8/24/2007 5:36 PM, Blogger barman

Crabby, I bet a pot belly would look good on the Absolute man too.

Oh and you know your facts are not adding up above Crabby. It must be because you are grieving so much...

barman, pssst...was it the wedgie part? I kinda blew that one since he's nekid. I momentarily forgot since I only have eyes for Bob.

(yes. I am sucking up to Bob.)

` Haaaa haaaa haaaa! Crabby, that was the most insane thing yet! Shameful advertising! I like the use of fake tears!

` BTW, speaking of deadness, I was dead and naked and buried underground at the same time last night, then dug up and humped by a necrophiliac!

` I'm not kidding!!!! I'll have pictures up on my blog soon.

You're just wrong.

sigh

 

At 8/24/2007 6:31 PM, Blogger barman

No, no, no Crabby. You said ...

She fell and couldn't get up. By the time they found her she had drown in her own drool.

Later you said ...

I was fortunate to be with Gramma when she passed. Her last words to me were, "Win one for the Gripper."

See what I mean... it must be all your grieving.

` I think I died by cutting my wrists. What do you think?

` BTW, I am laughing again at the post. It's too funny not to!!!

Seequin, fake? sniff sniff. SOB!

Nick, I excel at eulogies. I'll do you up real nice.

Gab, Blogger's word...I will not go gently into that good night.

Barman, Oh. That.

In fact, I'll make a whole new post about it.
