Schizoid Saturday report, see man:

 

What a (first half of) day, egad man.

At half-of-half-past 2 a.m., we heard a crash downstairs, oh brother man.

Miu had knocked over and broken something that someone was coming to buy in mere hours, :bonk: man.

We admonished miu and searched frantically for repair supplies, not particularly well-stocked we man.

We found ONE tube of SuperGlue, a small paintbrush, and a noncongealed can of walnut stain, wow man.

 

The glue was wholly inadequate, humongously heavy object man.

The stain was passably adequate but wasn't going to dry in time, si and no man.

We did our best and resolved to arise at o'dark-thirty to summon aid, truncated zzz for we man.

 

We arose after Many (2+1) hours of zzz, impaired we man.

Our repair-savior was sleeping in, zzz he man.

We managed to put off potential buyer for an hour, good man.

She then wanted to reschedule for afternoon because of a casa emergency, even better man.

 

Repair was made, Gorilla Glue man.

After letting it hardening for several hours, we thought that it would hold man.

However, buyer never contacted us back or responded to inquiry, no man.

We suspect that, at best, she was exhausted and frazzled, hope that's all we man.

If she out-flaked, we shall have to search for a new buyer, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Note, see man:  The above would never happen and has never happened with ANY Pre-Owned Toilet Seat*, unbreakable construction man.

     *order yours today, si man

 

Lunch was a few spoonfuls of Costco chicken salad straight from the tub, ingest we man.

We went out briefly, to Post Office, kids' resale place, and worthless GS, venturous we man.

Resale place took several of Mini-B.'s clothes, about half of the small batch brought man.

We made $Many ($2+2+1) + half-of-half a buck, successful Business Typhoon we man.

 

At casa, napped for a highly necessary hour, zzz needy we man.

Spent rest of day cooling our heels in awaiting noncontact from buyer, waste of time man.

 

Din-din was toucans of Chef B. Beefaroni + 2 Aldi "everything" bagels, ingest we man.

 

Party with the rubias in full gear at this writing, SWAT Team poised outside man.

 

On Sunday is Mama T-B.'s Many'th birthday brunch, chauffeur senior she we man.

Colonist version, see man:

"We're Two Guys, si man!

We eat WHAT we want WHEN we want, si man.

We fart WHEREVER we want WHENEVER we want, si man.

We leave the toilet seat UP, si man.

And, in this house, no girl can tell us what to do -- not even Mommy, no man!"

 

Bri'ish version, see man:

"We are Two Gents, verily, wot!

We consume any comestible of our liking at any time of the day or night, indubitably, yes.

We emit intestinal gas from our anuses in any place and in wanton fashion, true, certainly.

We leave in raised position the seat of the commode in the Water Closet, indeed, verily.

And, in our residence of habitation, no female can direct us contrary to our wishes of impulse -- not even Biological Mother, undoubtedly not!"
