I've been trading ideas with intriguing men, and I...

This weekend I was lucky enough to get to spend a ton of time with Eric’s friend Steve. I really love this guy and we get along really well. We spend most of our time making fun of stuff. Today for example a truck passed us and as we were driving to a movie and we only got a glimpse of the bumper sticker. This is the conversation that followed.
(After we got our first glimpse)
Eric: “Does that say ‘Pist Control’?”
Jeff: “So what the hell is a pist?”
Steve: “And extending that, why do we have to control it?”
Eric: “Pist….maybe pest control?”
Jeff: “I thought it said pist.”
Steve: “That’s what I saw.”
Jeff: “And was it just my imagination or was the picture under it of a shark eating a mermaid.”
Steve: “Really…..I thought it was a weasel in a firefighter’s jacket.”
Eric: “Well at least the guy is making his point clearly.”
Steve: “The funny thing is the standard of deviation between what we saw makes it so there’s no plausible middle ground.”
Jeff: “Maybe it’s a mermaid in a firefighter’s jacket eating a weasel.”
Eric: “…while riding a shark.”
Steve: “Or it could be a mermaid in a shark costume wearing a firefighter’s jacket balancing a weasel on her head.”
Luckily the guy parked his truck in the same lot as us so we walked over to have a look at the bumper sticker.
(On the way to the truck)
Jeff: “I bet it’s going to be a shark attacking a boat which contains a mermaid and a weasel in a firefighter’s jacket.”
Eric: “It’s going to be lame.”
Once we got over to the truck the results of our inspection were predictably lame. The title of the icon was “pest control” and showed a shark eating a seal. Now I could start on a tirade of abuse against this “it’s the seals fault we killed all the fish” mentality but I won’t.
(As we viewed the sticker)
Steve: “Well….”
Jeff: “That’s lame as hell.”
Eric: “What did I tell you.”

man, this weekend really was a blast. i love, too, that our irreverent cynicism really knows no bounds. nothing is safe, least of all pastors and nonsense hymns.
