Because frankly, there's not NEARLY as much to laugh about.
I can't remember when I've laughed so hard. Me, My Girl and Her Dad were on the couch. Her Mom was in the Big Leather Chair. Our tickle boxes got turned over. You know how when the harder you try NOT to laugh, the more you laugh, until you can barely keep YOUR martini in the glass.
After her Dad and I whipped their asses at Euchre, we retired to the living room. Her Mom asked me to turn it onto the weather channel at 8:30pm. Done.
For the next hour, she asked me every ten minutes why they weren't showing the weather in Destin, FL...their destination today. She's completely puzzled. We just kept telling her to wait, they'd eventually show it.
She didn't have all her teeth in. Itsch hard to keepsh them in whenshyoure drinkingsch.
It went something like this:
Swatsch thesh sweathsher goingsh to be in Deschtin tomorrow? Schwen are they goingshto schow it? (points 5th martini glass at the tv and shakes it) Drink. Repeat. Drink. Repeat. You get the picschure.
Trembles of laughter rock the couch. Her Father tells us not to laugh at Her Mother as tears roll down his cheeks.
Could it be because the Weather Channel isn't psychic? Damn Weather Channel.
Welcome to Nashville!

I learned to play Euchre because my wife's family plays. I even d/l'ed a program for my palm pilot so I can keep sharp just in case. We have been together for 9 years, so far I have not been asked to play.
I can relate to the laughing. I was at my sisters house a few months ago and we got all liquored up and called mom. My sister and I could not speak for the first few minutes we were laughing so hard, and eventually hung up without saying anything. Mom called back right away and it started all over again. I hadn't laughed that hard in a really long time. It is good for the soul!
Glad you had fun, welcome back to the real world.
Too funny! So did they ever show the weather forecast for Deschtin? Lol!
I'm so jealous! My Thanksgiving wasn't nearly as entertaining!!
I clearly need to drink more on the holidays. Not much laughter, but lots of stress. It was fun, but...martinis sound good! LOL!
Drinking makes every evening more fun.
Ha...Funny stuff. I hope your entire weekend was as much fun. Cheers!!
Thanks G-man. I love a good tear-streaking down your face, can't even remember WHY laugh!
Kelly: No, not really. Still haven't figured out WHY?!
Leighann: How can Thanksgiving with children or old folks NOT be entertaining!? You're just not tellin'.
Rockdog: Come on over next year. The liquor always flows!
Jay: Preachin' to the choir, buddy.
Matt: Yeah, we stayed liquored up!
sounds like fun times!! any time that involves martinis and the weather channel are rockin' in my book! Glad to hear you had a good weekend with the inlaws!
I can imagine...I get the "can't stop laughing" syndrome a lot...(at work)!
Peace
pretty funny schtuff....where is that place in florida?
On the British TV Show Coupling that would be called The Giggle Loop :)
Martinis, Jack Daniels and cheap wine improve an otherwise boring day.
Hahahaha I would have been biting my tongue so hard ;D
I had to give a drunk friend a ride today, and believe me your story was waaaay funnier than the one I'd tell!
The Weather Channel? I thought my 11 year old son was the only one addicted to that channel!
Martinis - the magical potion - good for so many ailments - even in-laws!
Martinis with Vodka or Gin?
Sounds like a very fun time.
My grandmother claims that the 11th commandment is "Thou Shalt Not Laugh at Thy Grandmother."
I think there may be a 12th one that would apply to this!!
Too funny!
I think I need a martini......
Diva: Don't assume! ;)
Odat: It's one of my favorite things. Happens too rarely tho!
Doggy: Destin...it's the Redneck Riviera!
Mistress: LOVE that! Perfect Description
Enemy: Amen!
Roger: That would be me. Did lots of that over the weekend!
Buffalo: Oh sorry, Dude.
Dana: Do we need to start a self help group?
Corky: Vodka and lots of it!
tickle box? I now am seeing three giant Tickle Me Elmos in action...thanks for the image.
Tini's make the world go round! I would not have made it through the holiday game of Risk with my two nephews (ten, twelve and LOUD!), neice, and brother in law without it! Near the end my bil and I would take turns being bartender to make sure we didn't ever run out!
And a tickle box is?
Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving. Drunken older-folks, the Weather Channel, and euchre. It simply doesn't get much better than that.
Well, that sounds alot like funny stuff at my Parents' house, except for the drinking-My parents don't drink... Except for Mom and that's only wine (sometimes for "medicinal" purposes). :)
Glad y'all had fun. Do you and the inlaws get along?
