hawaiian stealth bottle
Originally uploaded by skatyb

So for some, you haven’t seen my random tweet about stealth hawaiian rum bottle. For others who have, you think i’m out of my mind. So here it is.

I came back from book club…shockingly not drunk and knowing that I can’t deal with watching repubs without some liquor. I decided to do rum and diet coke, but I couldn’t find the bottle!!! I looked everywhere. On the counters of the kitchen. On the bookshelf where the previous bottle of rum sat. On the weird circular metal and glass shelf/stand all the other liquor is on. But DIDN’T SEE IT. Totally panic. Mentally accused liquor store for stealing bottle of rum. Tried to figure out what other liquor to use with Diet Coke. Clock was ticking…old man mccain was speaking in minutes. tic tock tic tock tic tock.

Then I found it. Dressed like a hawaiian in a grass skirt and coconut bra. What did it think it was…the tequila Laura and I’d finished off a couple weeks ago in a binge of strawberry margaritas? It is clearly trying to woo the Absolut New Orleans. Don’t you see it flirting with it? Hussy.

• It is a good thing that the repub convention is only once every 4 years cause otherwise I’d become a raging alcoholic
• rum is much more effective in dulling the effects to RNC watching than New Orleans Absolut Vodka.
• That said, New Orleans Absolut Vodka totally rocks…mango and black pepper flavored…I’m completely obsessed.
• To most republicans McCain is invisible. It is all about Palin now. After the speech, luke warm applause for Cindy and John. Then Sarah walks out and the crowd goes wild. These people frighten me.
• If one is going to make random twitter comment about dressing liquor bottles in hawaiian garb, one really needs to take a picture before one gets too lazy to walk downstairs to take it. Doggie needs his last trip to the yard tonight, so I suppose there is still hope for those who think I’ve lost my mind. I haven’t. I’m just drunk. Book club + McCain = drunk.
• It sucks when your best friend the teacher starts school again cause she can’t stay up late to chat wiht you about how much the repub convention sucks.
• Operation McSame is being shuttered. My friend the Hillary supporter is totally behind Biden-Obama (the order she prefers to sees it). Palin sent her over the edge for good. I’ve heard that from other Hillary supporters as well. Obama + Biden - Palin= Supporting Obama.
• I’m a total math geek. What is with all the equations?
• BA Math + MBA - years of acting dumb to make people think I’m non-threatening + liking pi jokes too much = unavoidable geek.
• Time to bring the fight over the border to PA. I was going to go to the Red Bull soap box race in Manyunk, but now I think I’m going to volunteer with the Obama Delaware office to travel up to PA to volunteer.
• Best friend is now awake because of my drunken tweets! bye.

• I absolutely hate the phrase “out of pocket”. It is officially more annoying that calling something “nontrivial”. #

Week 15 August 27

This week’s box had the most awesome carrots. I expected Bugs Bunny to jump out of the box and start munching on them. Also in the box, Kale, Corn, Eggplant, Green Beans, Red Onion, Potatoes, and Tomatoes.

I’m now resorting to giving all my corn away to my coworkers. I cannot possibly eat or freeze another kernel of corn. And I have no idea what I’ll do with the kale. Maybe something with the eggplant?

Well, plugging Palin’s role as PTA Chairman seems to actually be one of the GOP talking points. Even McCain is using it. I’m speechless. It is begging to be a SNL joke. Speaking of…you think Tina Fey will be showing up occasionally this season? I can’t imagine anyone else impersonating Palin.

Also, check out JedReport’s John McCain’s Wandering Eyes video. I was actually going to mention this in my post yesterday but when I rewound the tivo it was pretty clear he’s looking at her speech notes. But my first reaction was “he’s checking out her chest!” Pretty sloppy of McCain. He’s already creepy enough without looking like a leering old man.

• Good party. took power nap around 12:15 and now plowing through email and blogs. #
• Fondue fountain not that much trouble to clean up. The key…disposable plastic tablecloth. #

One of McCain’s surrogates, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), just defended Palin on MSNBC by saying:

“When it comes to experience if you are going to give me a choice between a man who ran a committee in the US Senate and a woman who has been a wife, a mother, a businesswoman, a PTA Chairman, a mayor, and a governor, I’m going to take the experience that that woman has because of this: it is more well rounded, she has more life skills. Leadership is a transferable commodity, and women are experts at that.”

I almost fell off the sofa listening to it. I’m amazed Blackburn was able to keep a straight face.

Looking at her record, the only thing she’s bucked the party on is ethics. Labeling her a maverick is basically admitting that the GOP is the party of unethical corrupt aholes.
