Lorraine Says: The Breakfast of Champions

I had a twofold mission this weekend: 1.) Spend as little money as possible and 2.) Spend as much time in my pajamas as possible. Number two really came into play after I slept like poop on Friday night. (I'm not sure poop sleeps but I think if it did, it would be really crappy sleep.) (Hahaha.) (It's Monday. That's the kind of shit you'll be getting today.)(Shit. Get it?)(Hahaha.)(Okay. Done now. Promise.)

I'm convinced that you all like us well enough because you haven't been shopping with us. I'm pretty sure that if you ever went shopping with Rox, Penny and I, you'd hate us within about... oh... 10 seconds.

Maybe that's why Jeezy brought us together. Maybe we're destined to be best friends because we're the only one's who play the "what do we need game," try on every nail polish in the store, and know that the answer to Roxanne's question "know what this'll go good with?" is always "with tights."

Roxanne and Penny convinced me to come out of my cave and watch them as they shopped at our favorite outdoor mall on Saturday afternoon. Penny had all the money, Roxanne had all the energy and I just kept chanting "'Jamma Day! 'Jamma Day!" because I wanted to be in bed that bad. But for the few hours that I was with them and not actively celebrating my self-proclaimed 'Jamma Day, I pretty much laughed non-stop.

Rox: Which one guys? This guy or this guy?


Lor: Um. That lighter one. They're basically the same thing but that white guy looks more mature.
Pen: Yeah, the blue guy would laugh at a penis joke, and this guy wouldn't.


Usually, I drive everywhere, which means that in my two-door car, calling shotgun has basically become a bloodsport. When I'm not driving, Penny does which means that shotgun is supposed to be played by Roxanne and I. But, I kept noticing her not even trying. She'd just climb into the back seat.

Lor: See how much she loves me Penny? She just lets me sit in front. Wait...how come you don't call shotgun?
Rox: It's just... really not fair. You suck really bad at this game. Really bad.
Pen: Playing with you is like convincing a kid on the short bus to play along.

-_-

Thanks guys.

Pen: Guys... it smells really bad in here. Seriously. Did one of you fart? *rolls windows down*
Rox: NOPE.
Lor: No, omg, I promise. I didn't do it!
Rox: You smelt it, you dealt it!
Lor: You denied it, you supplied it!
Rox: You denied it too, you idiot.
Lor: Um... yeah, I know but I was just trying to think of all the rhymes I know!
Pen: Circle, circle dot dot, now I got my cootie shot?
Lor: Circle, circle, square, square, now I got it everywhere. Circle, circle, knife, knife now I got it all my life.
Pen: I don't get if you had it all your life why you had to keep... Wait. Guys, I think the smell is outside. I think I'm letting it in.
Rox: GOD DID IT.


Anyways, we ate a little and shopped a little and I didn't spend my monies! Rox and Penny didn't want to go home but at this point, my eyes were tearing and I was begging to be let into pajamas. Actually, I started begging like the Spanish chick in "Ever After." Remember the scene? Where Prince Henry is about to marry her and she's walking down the aisle crying all "No, por favor. No te cases conmigo."

Rox: It bothers me that in that last scene, when he goes to "save" her, he butchers her last name when he proposes.
Lor: I never pay attention to the last scene because... well... I just can't help but notice his package the entire time.
Rox: YES! OMG, YES.

That wasn't your shoe I was hiding in there. I'm just really happy to see you.
 And these are the types of conversations we have when we're bored/lazy/hopped up on Starbucks and also bored. Anyways, we all went home. Except that Rox ended up not in pajamas on 'Jamma Day. She ended up going out to shop some more solo.

Lor: I'm rewarding myself for straighting my hair by counting my nail polishes. This is a wild Saturday night.
Pen: Your lifestyle is so exciting. How do you do it? Teach me?
Lor: I'm afraid it's unteachable. Some people are born with this gift. I thought about showing up to Rox's house in 'jammas but she's totally out shopping again.
Pen: She's still shopping?! Like for real?
Lor: Super totes real. She's like a gold medalist Olympic shopper. She's the Michael Phelps of shopping.
Pen: She should be on the cover of a Wheaties box dawgs. That's impressive.
Lor: Hmm... does anyone actually eat Wheaties?

Now, since we were joking throughout the messages we were sending back and forth, my last question may appear to have been a joke, but I assure you dear readers, it was not.

I'm pretty sure I know nothing about it because all the cereal I eat is high in sugar and low in anything that would make you likely to put an athlete on the front of it.

My cereal would more likely feature leprechauns, unicorns, and fairies. My cereal is often in the "family" section of cereals, so that I feel judged for eating it even though I'm not actually buying it for a "family." So, I posed this question to my friends.

Does anyone actually eat Wheaties?

Penny: Nope, never. Why would they? Wheaties is not exactly an appetizing name.
Lor: Mights as well be Plain-ies or Meh-ies.

Rox: People with no taste buds. -_-

Sara Nipples: They just keep them around so sport stars no one cares about can be featured somewhere besides Sports Illustrated. And the new boxes are scary as shit. Google a picture. It looks like the athlete is saying, "You're gonna get raped, bish."

So.

Does ANYONE eat Wheaties?

All I'm saying is that if I'm ever an Olympic gold medalist in like... chocolate consumption or nail polish ownage, don't put me on a Wheaties box. You can put me on a Count Chocula box though.

Hope you all had great weekends. Answer my question about Wheaties. I like all of your faces.

I love your face. I hate Wheaties. I don't even know why. They never did anything to me. I think it's their egotistical attitude and smug/creepy appearance. Like a over confident creepy "Italian" guy, who thinks he's the shit cause he orders his cologne online from Italy & he's tan, when in reality he is from some small town, has a small dick, and his last name is "Smith". I hate that. & fake Italian guys. & I also have no idea where that came from.

Penis.

I don't have an anology worked out, but I don't care much for wheaties either.

Sara said...

OHMYGOD, so many things to comment on!

Wheaties - I'm going to have nightmares for weeks about the face on that Wheaties box. Not only does he look like he's saying "You gonna get raped"... he looks like he's going to enjoy it, damn it.

Ever After - HIS PACKAGE. Okay, so I always thought that penises were in that mound-like shape when I was a kid (ahem, 16) because that movie is all I had to go off of.

Penis Jokes - ALWAYS. FUNNY.

"Mights as well be Plain-ies or Meh-ies."

FUCKING BRILLIANT.

However, I love Wheaties. Sorry.

I definitely used to eat Wheaties when I was a kid, so I could grow up to be strong like Michael Jordan. I guess they didn't really work.

And ew, I am not a fan of the new boxes. Bring back the orange box!

beanditch said...

OHMYGOSH, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who couldn't take my eyes off of his package!

I totally read comments and comments on comments. I don't like things to be left open-ended. Also, I have no life.

I don't think I've ever tasted a Wheatie in my life, but I did almost buy this back in the day. http://bit.ly/hZo9Pr
I was a little more than obsessed.

I admit that I eat Cracklin' Oat Bran, which I'm pretty sure is only reserved for the oldies over 70 years of age who have fiber issues.

Penny Lane said...

that is a hell of a lot of nail polish,


but the blue guy would deff looks like the type to laugh a t a penis joke. The white guy uses discreet innuendoes.

Traveler@large said...

I'm not trying to be the envios type but you, Pen and Rox really have something special.


Jamma Day should be a national holiday. Let see if we can't get a three day weekend promised to us, real, real soon.


Also a heart felt double yuck to Wheaties and all of its off-shoots....frosted flakes, I'm lookin at you.

Roxanne and Lorraine said...

Fool - Rox and I had a conversation about you like last week because she was really curious to know what dick swapping was. I'm sure now, she will appreciate your penis on our comments. :) Thanks for the analogy. I hate this Smith guy almost as much as I hate that box of Wheaties.

e.f. - The analogy is bonus. Thanks for casting your vote though. Civic duty complete.

Sara - Hahahaha. Oh 16 you was so sweet and innocent. What happened? Jaykay, jaykay. You're totally still sweet and um... stuff. You would totally buy the blue shirt and you'd tell penis jokes to each other.

Kev - Congrats on being like 1 of 5 people in the entire world apparently. What the hell?

Alexandra - Hahahahaha. Thanks for testing out the theory though. If you'd grown up to be strong like Michael Jordan, I'm sure Wheaties would have no problem selling to everyone, even with the new and improved Rape boxes.

Stacey - ME TOO. I could watch Kerry Strug's vault right now and still tear up. Man, I want me that box now. ;)

Jennifer - I don't even know what that cereal is. Do they place those next to the adult diapers?

Penny - Double entendre . I loved saying double entendre in school. I'm pretty sure it was my go-to test answer.

Erin - I'll petition the American and French governments pronto. If I am successful, perhaps you can use your Jamma Weekend to come visit Pen, Rox and I. Magic. <3

So far only one actual admission of like for Wheaties.

Just as I suspected...

I try to stay in my pjs as long as possible every day. My schedule is something like this: wake up in PJs, put on "real" clothes, go to work, exercise, shower, put pjs back on, have dinner.

JUST ME said...

Any cereal that could be switch with sawdust and have the person eating it not notice doesn't count as food.

I eat Frosted Mini Wheats. I also buy peanut butter cereal for a snack. And cheerios.

So obviously, the check-out counter girls think I have 3 kids at home.

It's been a long day, and I read "I slept like poop on Friday night" as "I slept like poop IN Friday night." And I was thinking that that was kinda dumb choice, but I also find you kinda impressive. Since you didn't sleep IN poop, I still find you impressive however, because you didn't sleep in poop. It's kinda a circle of logic.

I change into jammies as soon as I get home, even if it is only for a half hour.
Jammies rule, penis jokes rule.. but wheaties, they certainly do not.
