i went to a friend's house yesterday. earlier she had walked downtown and had a beer at a restaurant outdoor cafe. there were some 20-something guys dressed up...some as hippies some in disco garb. they were having a party and were desperately seeking a disco ball. my friend's husband had one...plus some other party lights. they bought them and invited friends to their party a few blocks away.

some things are just too serendipitous: they'd looked everywhere for a disco ball, and it was pure chance my friend was there and overheard.

so my friend and i walked by later. they were outside and invited us in to see the lights, and offered us a beer. nice kids. and their costumes were freaking awesome...i had my phone why didnt i take a picture?

i pride myself on being ageless...as much a kid as the next guy, but i felt a little old! but oh they made me laugh and i made them laugh (dancing to a disco song in their disco room) and i hope they had a grand old time.i suspect by the time they were really getting going i was home watching a movie (arsenic and old lace, even) in my jammies. :)

another thing:

ran into a good old buddy i've known since jr hi. we were talking about the 30 yr class reunion coming up and he said he might not go because his life is kind of screwy right now. i said i know t
whatchoo mean, just loss my job. why he asked. a difference of opinions you might say, i said.

he says (sarcastically): what? you've never been opinionated! and we laughed and alughed.

Thats always fun.

lol - that too.

Mildly amusing me today is (once again) Rugby League.

There was a Big Game last night. There were fisticuffs involved.

Full story, with video of the "vigorous discussion" at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-0...cident/4736284

That's at least three punches to the face. Penalty? One week's suspension - for the swinging arm in the tackle, not what happened afterwards.

More fun quotes:

They're all thugs. You know that right?

On Hiway 99 in Tigard, OR there is a rotating sign...

laughing at Him right now - he calls it Origins of the Species series - Cromagnon vs Neandrathal ...

*snicker*

I got finaid for the summer

You should be able to swim like a mofo now! Awesome news.

Yeah, didn't go to my twentieth for same reason. Didn't make my thirtieth because my husband couldn't make it. Really wanted to show him off too....like, "Look at me...I'm normal now" lol

LOLs, more mild amusement from Rugby League.

State of Origin, game two, round two.

The governing body announced a crack-down on fighting. I'm not sure any told the players (or, at least, told them using enough crayons and finger puppets that they understood ;) ).

This time four players were given ten minutes in the sin bin for fighting. Both coaches agree this is "ridiculous" or "silly".

Game three in a few weeks. :boxers:

It's a cold rainy winters day. I look out my window to see the oval across the road, where about 40 otherwise sensible adults are running around a muddy field chasing an oddly shaped ball. In pouring rain. And wind.

They look happy. Silly sods.

Grapes anyone?
 

Yeah I've got this guy whose back yard lines up with mine. He says he's a philanthropist/art collector/ whatever, but he's too busy to mow his grass. Last year he bought a rider mower which is great only that he cut the grass twice the whole year, driving the thing at 45 mpr-had it up on the back wheels one time. Now he's got these grape vines all over, I mean it's like a horror movie-they're into everything, including my black walnut tree. He's never home, probably out scouting the next crystal ashtray, so anyways I'm out there with anything I can to pull that vine off my trees. Now who's the nut?
