Merry Christmas to all my VJ friends.  And you too, TBoneTX.

 

Sad news to report.  They are still here.  My wife's daughter and her husband and the two devil children.  Thought they were headed back home yesterday, but it turns out they must have been planning to stay here all along.  Even brought the kids "stockings" to hang on our fake electric fireplace, and had the kids gifts they ordered on Amazon delivered here.  

 

Don't know why I spent any time cleaning the house before they came as it is ten times worse now than before they arrived.

 

Another day of drinking straight ahead.

 

Guess I could head over to my daughter's house.  The four week old twins are no problem.

Thrilling Monday other-half-report, half-see man:

 

Cousin Mini-B. highly appreciated our Thread Laundress skills, launder threads proficiently we man.

Had to return the stuff in a large plastic bag, but we kept the wrinkle-prone stuff on top, proficient we man.

 

We were struck that Cousin Mini-B. is the second Ecu (ex-Mrs.-T-B. = the first) who has removed below-waist items similarly, to wit man:  underwear wrapped around one inside-out pants leg, efficient for removal but not for warshing man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. invited herself over to watch a movie with us, self-invite ex-she man man.

(The acute excuse was that she needed to pee, still no water at ex-her man's casa man.)

It was right at din-din time, of course man.

Din-din was to be bagged shredded lettuce + hot dogs, Two Guys din-din man.

Fortunately, bagged salad was ample for Many (2+1) eaters, perceive we man.

 

Mini-B. had salad of lettuce, tomato slices, and croutons in Ranch dressing, ingest wee man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had salad of lettuce, tomato slices, and croutons in raspberry vinaigrette dressing, ingest ex-she man.

We had salad of lettuce in raspberry vinaigrette dressing, ingest we man.

Everyone seemed highly pleased, ingest all man.

 

Mini-B. then had 2 bun-length hot dogs with ketchup & mustard, ingest wee man.

We then had 2 bun-length hot dogs with ketchup, ingest we man.

The entire culinary production earned a Two Guys high-Many (high-[2+2+1]), si man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was lobbying for popcorn the entire time, obvious ex-she man.

The viewing choice was more episodes of Young Sheldon, excellent man.

Many (2+2+1) bags of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys and ex-she man man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had a smaller bowl, sitting noncontiguously man.

She managed to scrape the entire heavily salted top layer into this bowl, shameless ex-she man.

Ex-she man questioned why we were eating Many bowls, uneducated ex-she man man.

We looked at her like she was crazy (= no comment man) and said, "This is standard Two Guys practice, see man," si man.

 

After the entertainment, a rousing and raucous game of mini-hoop basketball occurred, participate we and wee and ex-she man man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. softly lobbied for the chance to take a shower in our casa, enough freeloading is enough man.

We donated some bottles of water, do it like you did in Guayaquil when young man.

We should have said, "CTR (call the Rojo) even though he lives nearly an hour away," si man.

(What's the purpose of having a Rojo if one can't use a Rojo's bathroom facilities, huh huh huh man?)

 

Watched late TV news with Mini-B., see we and wee man man.

Explained how Jewish anchormen often volunteer for Christmas/Easter duty, act of kindness man.

Mini-B. actually kept his nose out of his phone for the entire newscast, unbelievable man.

 

Mini-B. zzz-ing, exhausted and well-gifted wee man man.

Party with the rubias under way, cavort we man.

If we feel better on Tuesday, shall visit Mama T-B., stuff to give and get man.

Bun length is correct, BUT...NO KETCHUP ON HOT DOGS.  EVER.

Si, man, except 2 out of 2 Ecus have shown this proclivity, inexplicable man.

We know from Many years of experience that then-Mrs.-T-B. wasn't always in a hurry, si and no man.

Cousin Mini-B. is as taciturn as they come, so hurry doesn't fit his profile either, si and no man.

We tentatively conclude that Ecus are somehow bred or trained to remove clothing thus, si man.

Ketchup is one of the major food groups, see and si and :bonk: man.

And exactly what would be substituted for it*, huh man?

     *in Poland, they put strawberry ice cream + motor oil** on hot dogs, oj tak

     **weight = Many W Many, oj tak

For Many reasons, couldn't do anything that's lurking in your mind even if we'd wanna'd, no man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. hadn't had a shower in 2 days, and the Rojo lives nearly an hour away, that's what to say man.

And everybody ends up sweet-talking us in general, Mini-B. and ex-Mrs.-T-B. chief among them man.

 

We asked if ex-she man had brought her own towels, hadn't man.

This was quite enough reason to deny any request, see man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. knows that we go aysheep if eventual Sunday laundry loads are unexpectedly increased, si man.

She would therefore not press the matter of using one or more of our towels, no man.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

This is the Many'rd consecutive day that we didn't leave the casa, interesting man.

 

Mini-B. and we both slept in, tired Two Guys man.

We are still under the weather, enough already with lingering cold man.

 

Lunch for Mini-B. was a PB&J sandwich, ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was onecan of chili*, ingest we man.

     *bought at a previous ES, financially savvy we man

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. then took Mini-B. to visit Mama T-B., visit senior she man ex-she and wee man man.

They gave her a foto-displayer into which ex-Mrs.-T-B. had loaded Many,000 fotos, all of Mini-B. et al. from birth through present man.

We siesta'd while they were gone, desperately needed zzz we man.

 

Mini-B. returned with a $Many bill from Mama T-B., financially lavish senior she man.

Mini-B. promptly traded it to us for 2 video games bought with our credit card, transactional wee man.

Video-game sales are almost as lucrative as are Pre-Owned Toilet Seats**, $i man.

     **buy yours today at a handsome 0.0000001% discount off full retail, $i man

 

Din-din was the following, see man:

 -- bagged nuked parrots & keys, ingest Two Guys man

 -- Many (2x2x2) air-fried fish sticks each, ingest Two Guys man

 -- one-Many'th (1/[2+2th]) of FST cherry pie***, almost ingest Two Guys man

      ***which Mini-B. almost didn't get unless he finished his parrots & keys, threaten we wee man man

We were both too full to finish our pie, much food man.

We finished ours anyway, intrepid proficient we man.

Mini-B.'s went into the refrigerator for later, ingest later wee man.

We proved that we were Two Guys who could stuff ourselves until we were about to be sick, whee man.

 

Movie night was postponed because of no room for popcorn, handle this later Two Guys man.

Mini-B. played other games with amigos while we took Siesta #2, re-zzz we man.

 

Mini-B. has been waiting for Many (2+2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2+2) -- hours for his new game to download, impatient wee man.

It will apparently be ready right before a late bedtime, conflict envisioned here man.

We will do our best to act fatherly in this instance, Go To Bed On Time Or Else man.

 

We have a doc caucus on Wed., investigate swollen foot man.

We will therefore finally leave the casa, non-hermit-like we man.

Party with the rubias between now and then, cavort we man.

Addendum to Thrilling Tuesday report, see in addition man:

 

Mini-B. asked for and received his leftover-from-din-din pie, supposedly hungry wee man.

He is now bouncing off the walls and singing punked-out versions of "Jingle Bells," sugar-overloaded wee man man.
