7:43 Cry a little, pour a little Bud Lite on my living room floor muttering something about my Homies in Los Angeles
7:50 Get really pissed and worried where the hell everybody went
7:51 House Phone Rings
7:51 Wife is at Faydunaways and Family’s house eating a delicious Lasagna dinner asking why I didn’t join them.
7:51 Get pissed why she wouldn’t answer her cell phone, why she wouldn’t leave a message on my cell phone, why she wouldn’t try calling the house.
7:52 Think about delicious lasagna.

Real Korean men eat Popeyes.

By the way, does wearing the Viking hat help when fighting your spouse? During domestic squabbles, I've been wearing my sailor's hat. Not really working for me.

Damnit woman I just got over fighting and you have to go and post a comment about the manju fight which was totally all your fault anyway and I'm at work right now and I don't have my fighting hat here to wear while type-fighting you right now so I have a stupid napkin on my head instead and it's not giving me my normal fighting power. That Manju was ALL MINE!!!!!!! And I'd eat it all over again in a heartbeat!!!!!!!

Arrgrgrgggggg

PS: For our readers out there, yes there was a subfight within the cellphone fight over me eating all the Manju, which is like a ricecake thing.

Oh no! A cellphone fight and a manju fight?! That can't be good. What's this I hear about knitting?

between Sleepy fight and Snoring fight should be Makeup Sex to resolve accumulated tensions. But maybe that doesn't work if food is involved.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

...or maybe it's even BETTER because food is involved? Can manju have a creamy custard filling like nye wong bau or mochi? Makes for a yummy snack/body topping....
