Thank the Baby Jesus…

by rachaelgking on November 24, 2008

B and I spent the last 48 hours getting wasted on our couch. I am incredibly hung over still drunk.

AS SUCH, here is my last Friday afternoon in a nutshell. It’s an exceptionally funny twisted convo I had with Katherine of Who Invented Roses, who is so effing hilarious that I believe she will be able to replace me as Lemmonex‘s daytime gchat partner when I move on to my new job.

So here you have it… (the “Performer” comment having been inspired by this post)…

DISCLAIMER: If you are in any way religious (i.e., offended by the mocking of religion- all in good fun, I promise!) PLEASE don’t read this.

Katherine: I’m a performer

LiLu: everyone’s a fucking performer

i’m not speshul anymore

Katherine: eCrush isn’t

he’s a Doer

LiLu: hmm

alright then.

Katherine: the two of us sound like a great sexual combination, actually

a performer and a doer

LiLu: hahahaha

thank you baby jesus
for bringing me friends
as effed up as me in the head

Katherine: baby jesus is benevolent and merciful

or so sister mary told me before she smacked me with a ruler

LiLu: HA

that whore
immaculate conception MY ASS

Katherine: zactly

mary was just horny
understandably
who isn’t?

LiLu: for sure

but don’t insult joseph’s intelligence

Katherine: not unless he was horny too

LiLu: i think she stepped out on him

with GOD
i guess joseph can’t even really get mad about that

Katherine: Ha

I would just tell joseph: J, some things, well, they’re just bigger than yours. I mean you.
probably would shut him up

LiLu: and he’d be all, you said size doesn’t matter!

Katherine: yup, I would tell him something about lies being the devil’s work

and perhaps this is the biggest one of all

LiLu: hahaha

Katherine: you know, I once was asked in an interview if I could go back in time and video tape anything, what woudl it be

and I was all, “Jesus’ conception. Because Mary was really a whore.” Thank god I didn’t want that job

LiLu: did you really

Katherine: yes, I did
but now my soul is doomed

LiLu: you just became my personal hero

Katherine: the guy was a prat

and the interview had gone south long before

LiLu: well the thing about soul-dooming and such

is i’m pretty sure if you splash yourself with holy water and say the lord’s prayer when you get your AARP card, you’re good

Katherine: How about every time I renew my drivers license? Just to be sure?

LiLu: that’s probably a safe bet

worst case you’d end up in purgatory
as long as you hadn’t killed a hooker since then
actually, isn’t that the lord’s work?
never mind

Katherine: I’ve always said the fun people are in hell

LiLu: i always say, that’s where my friends will be drinking

Katherine: Ha!

is it bad that I envision heaven as sort of an old technicolor movie? Cute but campy?
and why are we talking about anything mildly religious?

LiLu : are there bowler hats?

Katherine: bad ’60s updos

LiLu: and POCKET WATCHES

there must be pocket watches

Katherine: LOL

I was thinking more along the lines of togas
must tie into the greek and roman gods

LiLu: is it bad that when you say toga

i think WINE

Katherine: I think gladiator and orgy

so no

LiLu: i think because i think of the greeks

thus mythology
thus dionysus
FULL CIRCLE

Katherine: i got the logic

one halloween, when I was about 12, I went as bacchus
my mother was not happy
it was a sign, really

LiLu: HA
in the midwest no less
you are a pioneer my friend

I don’t even need directions to hell. When I die, it’s just going to suck me down like a tractor beam.Pass the tequila, please…

When people say toga I always think of this weird movie I saw where everyone was fucking, vomiting and eating all at the same time…wearing togas.

I have no idea WHEN I saw this movie, but suspect my mother put it on for me.

2 Katherine November 24, 2008 at 3:33 pm

We’re on the Hell Express. No stops, no questions asked. Just a straight shot to a fiery inferno.

If I bring vodka, do you think they’ll at least issue me a fan?

3 FoggyDew November 24, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Eat, drink and be merry, because you can always use the Catholic “Get out of Hell Free” card. Just say, and mean of course, “I repent,” right near the end. Dogmatically that takes care of most of it.

Except the dead hookers, you’re on your own with that one.

And Lem, that movie sounds a lot like “Caligula.” If it was, your mom’s got some serious ‘splaining to do.

When I was little, I wanted to be a singing, car-tampering nun a la the Sound of Music. It’s been a long, slow decline from grace ever since.

5 brookem November 24, 2008 at 3:59 pm

haha, i love it. mimics many a conversation of mine on gchat.

6 LiLu November 24, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Lemmonex: Thank her for me. Your haphazard upbringing has assured me that I will always have a friend.

Katherine: Sure. If not, there’s always sexual favors. Worked for Mary!

Foggy: I’m Presbyterian, technically. I’ll just hold B’s hand and ride his coattail into heaven, like time travel.

Fearless: Grace is boring. And it smells like mothballs.

Brookem: We are kindred spirits, my dear.

7 fiona November 24, 2008 at 4:51 pm

I’m Presbyterian too! Any chance of hitching a ride with you and B? I would fit nicely into your suitcase.
Oh wait, you’ll have all your booze in there…need a plan B

8 Doug November 24, 2008 at 6:11 pm

So, say you go to hell. Say we’re all there right along with you. Is it still hell, if you’re with all your friends?

9 f.B November 24, 2008 at 6:52 pm

you’ve been all over the great baby jesus in a bunch of posts lately like, well, like soiled swaddling clothes. thanking him for the sleep timer, telling him to “take that!”…

and it’s hilarious.

and it’s socially appropriate.

and i love how you balance thanking the great baby one day and then teaching him hard life lessons about the mom he never got to see, the next. it’s like an E! True Hollywood Series.

this blog kinda has it all.

10 LiLu November 24, 2008 at 6:58 pm

Fiona: We need to figure out how all that heaven-y stuff works, I guess…

Eh, I’ll do it tomorrow.

Doug: True story, my dear. TRUE STORY.

f.B: You’re right. I’ve totally been talking him up- I figure now he owes me, right?

How DARE you call me socially appropriate! Take it back!

11 rs27 November 24, 2008 at 7:39 pm

I have the shortcut to hell if you don’t want to wait in traffic.

12 Liebchen November 24, 2008 at 8:11 pm

Ha – so your “immaculate conception my ASS” totally reminded me of a quote from Saved!

“I know this is wrong, but do you ever wonder if [Mary] just made the whole thing up? I mean, it’s a pretty good one. It’s not like anyone can ever use virgin birth as an excuse again.”

Valid question…

13 LiLu November 24, 2008 at 9:20 pm

rs27: As long as you can give it to me in Dunkin Donuts terms, like “Turn left at the 2nd Dunkin, go right at the Dunkin with a drive thru.” That’s how we Massholes get anywhere.

Liebchen: Oh, Saved- what a great film. The snark was rich in that one.

14 f.B November 24, 2008 at 10:03 pm

he owes us all.

15 Kate November 24, 2008 at 10:10 pm

We’re all going to hell. I mean seriously, here we are, hanging out our dirty laundry on the internets. Does it get worse than that?

16 Kristin November 25, 2008 at 12:18 am

Your day made my day better.

17 fattylumpa November 25, 2008 at 2:48 am

Lem, that’s really creepy.

Liv, I would like to say “Wow” or “Ooo” but I can’t. Because I distinctly recall this one time where we had a normal-to-above-normal-volume conversation about orgasms….in a shoulder to shoulder crowd. At lunchtime. In a sandwich shop. On a weekday.

18 little miss optimist November 25, 2008 at 4:40 am

Lol. All the fun people are going to hell anyways. It’s okay, 95% of the world will be joining you and ready to party it up when we get down there!

19 LiLu November 25, 2008 at 2:52 pm

f.B: In baby Jesus’ name, Amen.

Kate: True. We are such klassy ladies…

Kristin: Glad to do it :-)

FattyLumpa: The funny thing is, I can think of about 5 instances that might be what you’re talking about…

LMO: I’m glad we’re all in agreement! What a party!

20 Alexa November 25, 2008 at 4:22 pm

all this baby jesus talk made me think about talladega night and the baby jesus prayers.

most excellent.

21 LiLu November 25, 2008 at 4:25 pm

Alexa: I may have watched Talladega this weekend…

MAY.

22 Maxie November 26, 2008 at 4:43 am

If there’s no booze in heaven I don’t want to go.
