We had a get together last night that turned into a meme party. Our friend Erica, whose husband is currently in Afghanistan, said that she and her husband have this running agreement:
“We each created a list of 5 famous people who we are allowed to &@$! should we ever have the opportunity.”
I, of course, was intrigued. “With no consequences?” God, could such an agreement actually exist between husband/wife/partner and/or partner/wife/husband?
My sister-in-law, Cristina (who speaks with much less of a Romanian accent than my wife) asked, “What do you mean &@$!?”
Erica: I mean &@$!
My wife, Alex: Anyvone?
Erica: *nods while sipping her wine*
My brother-in-law, Chris (who just moments earlier had heard how I had dated his wife before leaving her for her sister): Anyone?
Erica: *nods while nibbling on cheesecake*
Me: Well, who’s on your list? And don’t forget that I’m semi-famous.
Erica: *giggles* Sorry, the list is full. It’s Harry Connick, Jr. and George Clooney.
Alex: Vait a meenute. I teenk you said you could &@$! five men?
Erica: Harry occupies spots 1-4.
Alex, Cristina: *raise eyebrows knowingly* Ohhhh….
Erica: So who would be on your list, Alex?
Alex: Let me teenk about eet…
Erica: Sure, take your ti—
Alex: *interrupts* Matthew McConahunk, Veel Smeeth, Brad Peett, Hugh Jackman and Ben Steeler.
Me: *thankful she didn’t mention Zach Braff* Ben Stiller? Well, that’s one I suppose I could agree to…
Alex: I’m just &@$!ing vith you! I mean to say Zach Braff.
Me: *thankful I’m nearly complete in my intoxication* The Bastard won’t lay his hands on you!
Erica: So who would be on your list, Brandon?
Me: Well, I’m not sure. Juliet Binoche is really the only one who comes to mind. But I guess I’ll add Zach Braff to mine as well.
Cristina: Really?
Me: Well, you know, sometimes you just gotta say &@$! it. Might as well see what all the fuss is about. Besides, I feel like he's already &@$! ing me by maintaining a blog. &@$! er.
