Family drama

[Lefty]

Oh yeah, we call them sodas too. After all, they are made from carbonated or soda water. It makes sense.

Nothing like a big thick wiener and a refreshing beverage!

[Lefty]

Especially if we find that big hot tasty wiener on Soi VC. Nothing beats the taste of a hot wiener from Soi VC in your mouth. Maybe we will get Kahuna to spring for them again. He likes buying our wieners for us.

[kahuna]

You got it big boy...The next time we are all three together...The wieners (also know as a
frankfurter, frank, hot dog, or weenie) from the Soi VC hot dog, frankfurter, frank, weenie, weiner
lady are on the old faggy guy...

Will that be going to or coming from Sunee...

[Lefty]

Heck let's get one going both ways. I like going both ways anyway.

I too was raised in a large Irish family.  Damn near all Irish until the Uncle brought home a French women from the Korean war and his sister whom brought home a German man.

 As for all the drama and nightmarish stories I've heard,  I honestly can say I only remember drama of any magnatude  was when my cousin married some hot shot New York attorney.  Needless to say she moved to New York and She became much too sophisticated and high society to talk to us poor white trash.

 But eventually as years past she is back with us and talks just like old times.  She is still married to the same man.
 And her mother,  the french women, she had a spell of drama.  she said Our family was a bad influence on her husband and she did not want us around.  He played along a bit and then laid down the law with some compromise I am sure.  They too are still married.   Fregg'n French folks are to blame for everything.  

My cousin was drafted by the St. Lous Rams.  He played two years became an alcoholic.  He became so ashamed of himself he disappeared for about 8 or 10 years.  He was living in (-_blank-_blank-_)  He establish a construction company with an estimated value in assets and liquid capital of over 300 million dollars and yes of course,  he wakes up every morning at 4:00am and drinks a beer before he even piss's.

 Other than those three episodes  not a whole lot went on in our family that was mean spirited.  My family and I had our set backs but it never came to taking sides or calling each other names.
Maybe it was me who kept the whole family from getting into conflict over differances in opions etc..etc..
I say it was me because I was the worst of the Lot.  Only four younger than me.

 I think I kept the whole family busy worrying about me, I was always stepping in something.  Either blowing something up, catching something on fire (with no intent to harm. all in fun. and no, no harm ever done)  , pay-back for some disrespectful jester or deed.   Fucking around with some ones girlfriend.   Not too many places to hide out when your uncles are the Cpt. of the Fire dept. and a county sheriff and aunt a doctor at John Hopkins.

 The one thing I will give my family,  no matter what stupid action one of us did, (mostly it was me.)   if we heard some one talk shit about one of us you got one fucking warning to shut up.   If ya' didn't ?  You got Ricky, Michael or Freddy.   Those boys would go in out numbered with never the attitude;  " What If ? "  Fuckers had balls of steal.  What sucks was if I asked for their help they'd say yes But I had to lead out front and take the biggest or strongest person there.   They would say;  Its your fucking problem, do you want help or what ?  Then you take care of it and we'll go with you. Never in my life have I weight more than 135lbs.  

 Ahwww,  the good old days when you could solve your differances with a fist fight and not go to jail for flipp'n 15yr's.

 And from the stories my aunts tell  us boys and girls as we got older, our dads were even worse than we were.
 I moved away to the other side of the country so we don't see each other too much anymore.  I lost about 10yrs with them not even speaking on the phone a lot.  I was working as an Aviation designer for Boeing until I go so burnt out I was creating excusses for them to fire me.  After I quite I got back to family again.

And all is well.  Most of our discussions have the tones of;  I can't believe we've come so far.
In comparison, even with some of our personal set-backs ?  I couldn't have designed a better family with a magical wand.  Not one of us leaves or says goodbye on the phone without saying I love you/Miss you.

sorry for the spelling peeps.  Y'alls know I suck at it.  So before you make fun of it,  i spent the money for my spelling lessons on aviation design school so you bastards could fly safely.  And if you still persist I'll get
Ricky, Michael and Freddy after your ass because they spent their spelling lesson Money on boxing lessons for people who don't like my fucking spelling O.K. ?

 Goodnight bitches !

(PigDogg @ Mar. 23 2010,11:47) a grinder is what I think we more civilized people call a "sub", although

shockingly enough, in parts of Vermont, I've seen them sold as "Italians",

Strange, I never even realized I'd raise a few eyebrows with the "Grinder'' line, but it's true that that word is a strictly New England thing.  As in "I am going to D'Angelo's to get myself a LAHGE  grinder and when I get there I will PAHK my CAH'' ...don't you guys know how to talk??

   True story....I was driving in southeastern Vermont one day years ago, jonesing for a Grinder/Sub/Hogie/Hero/  whatever they are called. Saw a small pizza shop on the side of the road with a neon sign which said  "Pizza and Grinda's''; and spelled just like that!  
Ya, we don't say our "R"s around here, same as Thai's don't know how to say ''Apple''.

It would have been funny enough on a hand-printed board outside, but to actually have "Grinda's'' on a permanent Neon sign, the same way it is pronounced and spoken in these PAHTS??    Perfect!!

Or when you could do a spot of breakin' and enterin' on summer vacation and the Cops would just tell your parents and you'd get a belting. No charges, no Welfare people locking the parents up either..

Glad the Grinder mystery has been elucidated.. Although in most parts of SEA a Grinder is known as a LBFM. Especially a 'juicy' one

[JaiDee]

Guy, are you a Yank or a Brit? Or??

I can't tell from your posts....

[guydesavoy]

Bit of a mix JaiDee. Born in Australia of Anglo-Euro trash stock...but moved around a lot  

Speaking of avatars, I remember the good ol days when Mean Joe Greene was with the Steelers, and Staubach reigned in Dallas...loved them Cheerleaders too
