No intro, no chit chat. Just a collection of crazy thoughts coming your way in bullet points. That's what I like to call down & dirty Friday blogging.
* I'm hearing a lot about Black Swan. I can't decide if the reviews I'm getting make me want to see the movie more or less. Is "weird, messed up, kinky, awesome" supposed to be bad or good? I think I have to see it to decide for myself.
* The Mister has been wanting new golf clubs for a long time so I told him I wanted to get them for him for Christmas. He has been doing his research and didn't find the perfect clubs until this week. He brought them home last night and I've never seen a grown man so excited. He lined the clubs up and told me about each one, then put them in the new golf bag he got for Christmas. This was hands down the best gift I've ever given. I love seeing him so happy! I am however beginning to fear that he thinks it's okay for the clubs to live in the family room, rather than the garage. Uh, not so much mister.
* My favorite local dive bar is closing its restrooms for repairs for FIVE WEEKS. The alternative bathroom suggestions we've heard so far: 1) the single bathroom in the bar next door, which always has a mile long line, or 2) a port-a-potty. Shudder. This probably doesn't seem like a big deal, right? Just go somewhere else. Oh, but it is. This is our Cheers. My girlfriends and I (and the guys when we invite them) have been meeting there for years. When we walk in the door, they pour our drinks without asking what we want. If we don't show our faces around there once a week they get worried something has happened and alert the authorities. This bathroom situation is a major disruption to our routine. Looks like we're going back to our college Bladder Bust** days. (Did your college bars have this? Worst idea ever.)
* Why don't more restaurants have corndogs on the menu? It shouldn't be so hard for a girl to get a corndog. It just shouldn't.
Let's just end it at corndogs, shall we?
Hope you have all have a great weekend! I'm heading to Chick-fil-A in the morning to get my free Spicy Chicken Biscuit. After that, the world is my oyster.
**ETA: Apparently some of you were lucky enough to get through college without experiencing the wonder that is Bladder Bust night. Here's the deal. {Get ready, it's classy.} A local bar we visited on occasion in our early college days had Bladder Bust night on Wednesdays. You'd pay something like $5 to get in the door and the beer was free - until someone used the restroom. Once someone used the restroom, free beer was over. As you might imagine, using the restroom would make you a VERY unpopular person at the Wing Shack on Wednesdays. {Yeah, it was called the Wing Shack. For a while. I'm pretty sure it was about 7 more things before I graduated. Anyway, like I said, classy.} So, that's bladder bust. Free beer till somebody pees. God, I miss college.

What are Bladder Bust days? I don't think we had that at Georgia.
black swan in weird. it is a well acted movie, how about that. i can't say it was good, really... because it was totally mind bending and strange but in a good way.
Bladder Busters were the worst! Hilarious post. And I completely agree with the corndogs.
I really have no idea what to expect in Black Swan. I've heard mixed things, so I'll probably see it eventually. What are Bladder Bust days?? Ha! Corndogs gross me out to no end.
Bladder Bust sounds hilarious. Thank you for explaining!
Bladder Bust has seriously cracked me up!!
When I was pregnant I would go to the local restaurant and get me and my dad a corndog for lunch..he always looked at me like I was crazy, but was afraid to say anything I guess...I just slathered it in mustard and went on about my business...gosh I miss them. Why on earth did I stop??
Have I mentioned how much I love your blog?? It always makes me smile :)
Bladder Bust sounds insane - and I'm almost certain I would've been the one to ruin it for the others every single time.
Black Swan is definitely one of those see for yourself things - I've actually been meaning to google "Black Swan Interpretation" since I saw it Wed. b/c I'm still not sure I understand it. Acting was awesome. Plot was WAY kinky, crazy, and disturbing!
Bladder Bust sounds fantastic! Unless you are the person with the tiny bladder. Boo for them.
You didn't mention that the classiest part about Bladder Bust was the line of people using the bathroom in the alley behind the bar. Oh, to be 19 again!
I agree!! Corn dogs should be on menues at restaraunts!! Especially as a appetizer? lol
PS. First time eharing about "Bladder Bust." I definitely missed out!!
Bladder Bust? That's fantastic. I could have rocked that back in college! Late 30s? Yeah, not so much. ;) Have a great weekend!
I have never heard of Bladder Bust but think that is the best idea ever...and already started scheming ways to "beat the system" (like if you have to pee, you should just leave to save everyone else, right???)
I'd never heard of a bladder bust, so funny! I would never make it, I'm always the first to have to go!!!
I feel the exact same way about Black Swan, but I've decided it's a must see. Now I just need someone to see it with me!
We had a bladder buster place in Texas where I went to college. I knew a girl who seriously wore depends one night b/c she was so scared she would ruin it for everyone else. HA!
Anyway, I'm half in, half out on Black Swan but have to admit I'm curious!
you are crackin me up! I also wanna see Black swan, and have NEVER heard of bladder busters but that is really funny! I too, miss college!
