WYR Wednesday: Lara Croft Was Asking For It

by rachaelgking on August 5, 2009 · 74 comments

So…

I love you guys. No, really. You were absolutely amazing yesterday- I can’t thank you enough for all your words and support. It felt like one Southern gramma big bear hug, and I honestly can’t find to tell you how grateful I am to have all of you, and this little world.

One comment in particular brought a little “No I am NOT crying I was just cutting onions!!!” to my eye… maybe because clairemontgomerymd is a mama, (btw- read my favorite “Mary” story of hers here, it is PRICELESS), but also because she just put this whole bloggysphere thing we have going on into words so damn perfectly. Check it out:

dear mrs. lilu,
blogging is kind of like one big never-ending cyber-slumber party. we’re all playing extreme truth or dare while we laugh and cry together but when asked what we’re doing, the answer is always ‘nothing’. eavesdrop a little, but turn away with a knowing grin that we’re all going to be alright. especially lilu. your daughter rocks. she makes a lot of people’s days much brighter. she’s genuine and brilliant. you’ve done raised her right. we love her and we love you for sharing with us your baby girl. now wipe your tears and make her buy you something pretty for being the best mom ever! seriously – take advantage of this opportunity.

See? SEE??? Isn’t your heart, like, a whole lot warmer now??

*sigh of contentment*

All right, now that that’s over, let’s get on with the gross stuff! (Sorry, mamakins)…

But it is my girl Maxie‘s Would You Rather Wednesday!

wyr

So, would you rather…

A)  Get caught masturbating by (on) your friend’s mom…


Grandma’s BoyMore amazing video clips are a click away

or…

B)  Catch one of your PARENTS masturbating? [video clip redacted for all of our sanity]

Think about that…

Hate me yet? xoxo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Housekeeping: Maxie and I have had to change the date of our wedding, due to the fact that I am an idiot and double-booked a weekend.

All my best friends are SHOCKED right now, let me tell you… this is their surprised face:

amused

Anyhoosits, the festivities will now be on Saturday, the 17th of October, rather than the 24th. Everything else shall remain the same. Except that you have one week less to buy us shit that we will then have to incorporate into the ceremony somehow.

Just kidding.

Maybe.

Um, as someone who’s heard my parents having sex (A little pre-TMI for you)…I’ll pick the first one.

And now I have the change my entire October schedule around for you. I’m a busy woman you know! (Lies. All lies.)

You’ll change it. And you’ll LIKE it.

I forget if you are the bride or groom. If bride, shame on you. You have been planning this for years.

Also, you should have checked the college football calendar. That is Maryland’s homecoming. As a man trying to cling to what’s left of my youth, I’ll be boozing it in College Park early in the day. I guess I could come to the wedding afterwards all out of it.

Oh, definitely come afterwards! I don’t think we’ll even be starting til 8 or 9 or so.

3 Jules August 5, 2009 at 9:14 am

I’d SOOOOOO rather get caught than catch my parents. ICK!!!! Although my parents had my sister when I was 18, so it was pretty evident that their sex lives were alive and kicking…..

Immaculate conception!!!

I dont know that I could live with the embarassment if my parents walked in on me. I think I would rather walk in on them & hope to god I dont get traumatized for life

Your friend’s mom! Though I don’t know if that makes it better or worse…

11 Kellie August 5, 2009 at 10:01 am

Yikes. As someone who accidentally walked in on my parents doing the freaky deaky together and survived, I figure if I’ve seen that then I think I could survive catching one of them doing the nastiness alone. Although I’d rather not obviously. But being caught by one of them would be quite mortifying. I think I’d rather have one of them mortified and me just grossed out. :)

Also, I’m leaving for Sturgis today and I’ll miss you honeykins! ;)

Nooooooo!!! Bye, sweetheart! Have a blast! Don’t forget to get a tattoo with my name on it :-)

My parents had three children. I am sure they only had sex three times. Any other thought than that about their sex life would scar me for the remaining years of my life….

Life scarring is bad. Definitely only 3 times…

I agree with PQ, I’ve heard my mom and stepdad (which for some reason is THAT much worse than my real dad) having sex many o’ plenty o’ times.

I’d rather be caught.

I am so glad I’m not in that club.

You double booked on the weekend of your wedding, and then decided to change the wedding date instead of the other plans?!?! What does Maxie have to say about this? [note my incredulous tone]

thanks for the shout out. and thanks for still being YOU – parents and masturbation was a GREAT follow-up! (really, could you not give your mom just a week’s reprieve at least?) i’d rather do the catching because i hate to be interrupted.

Get caught by a friend’s mom. I think that’s the opening scenario for approximately 345,789 pornos.

I really hope you made that number up.

ahh, about your comment- GOOGLE about heating up plastic!!

I actually just googled it and I found a lot of sites saying it was not accurate or harmful…so there are mixed studies and feelings, but enough to scare me!

I think I’ll stay blissfully ignorant…

29 Narm August 5, 2009 at 11:43 am

Rather get busted with my chicken in my hand.

Now if it was walking in on THEIR parents masturbating I would definitely take that. I’ve seen pornos that begin that way and we all know art imitates life.

Interesting how all the guys went right to that.

I’d rather not get caught even though I have to witness a terrible thing. At least I can force them to buy me stuff as part as my mental recovery or something :P

Oooo, tricksy! I like it.

32 RandomMusings24 August 5, 2009 at 11:53 am

No contest. I would rather catch my parents again. Although the only time I did I was too little to know what was going on, but if I lived once, I could live twice, right?

I’ll be partying it up at my bachlorette party for your wedding. Sad that I can’t celebrate with you, but at least I’ll be there in spirit and booziness!

Boooo! Next time, for sure!

I think you’ve come up with a would you rather that I just cannot answer.

However, since my dad is almost 59 and my mom is 57, I’m pretty sure that their genitalia has long since shriveled and become completely useless so they cannot actually do anything remotely sexual.

Oh, I’m sure they could surprise you…

42 Vegetable Assassin August 5, 2009 at 1:17 pm

I’ma going to have to go with B there ma’am. Option one is too embarrassingly icky to contemplate and the second one, while nasty, gives you ample opportunity to whip out a gold one liner or at least use the nasty event as future blackmail material when playing your folks against one another. No? Plus then you can make THEM pay for your therapy.

NOW you’re thinking. And now you’ll have that gold one liner ready. You are WELCOME.

48 Jena August 5, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Um, I’m pretty sure my parents don’t even have “junk”, so catching them would be kind of difficult. And disturbing. Plus, being caught by a friend’s mom always has bow-chicka-bow-wow possibilities. Or I could play it off as something else, like checking for… no wait, that’s worse.

Lose-lose, isn’t it? :-)

49 Cheddar August 5, 2009 at 3:05 pm

As a result of my lack of shame, I’d rather get caught. I agree with Cassie, I can avoid my friend’s mom forever but not my parents. And I think they’d get sick of me giggling/gagging every time I saw them. I mean, seeing the magnet for some lube company on my dad and stepmom’s fridge in high school was enough, thanks.
