I've been to more funerals in my lifetime than necessary. (My family is in the funeral business, not 'cause everyone around me is dying.) My rule on kissing/touching dead people is DON'T! All but one of my grandparents have passed on within the past 5 years and it doesn't matter how nice they were to me when they were alive, I ain't touching them when they're dead. Besides it's not like they can feel it. Furthermore, dead people never look like themselves what with all the caked on make-up, although I must say my Grandpa Joe was the best looking dead person I've seen in awhile. ~ TX girl (like you couldn't figure that out with the "ain't" remark)
I have a slight advantage, because I'm a girl, and so I can contribute to the female-only Waxing Off column. So if you're a female-type person, that's where I'd try to break in. If you're a male-type person, there's always the Black List, which is all reader-written.
It also helps if you have a crazy family and can tell stories about them.
You do write some funny shit. This weeks entries were great, i love the vagina necklace and the mammaries that look like socks with cue balls in them too. I walked in on my almost mother in law once, same scene, i had nightmares for weeks.
Did they ever call you Hubes when growing up, and did that ever get mutated into Pubes?

ReplyDeleteJen, how do you make it on the blacktable all the time?
ReplyDeleteShe's funnier than anyone, and better yet... it's all true.

No.
ReplyDeleteHah! Until now.
ReplyDeletePubs. But I'm pronouncing it "pubes" in my head.
