Friday
1)Everyone has their own definition of hunker.
Urban Dictionary - a phrase used very commonly by radio announcers as hurricanes pass by. it basically means "hang in there" or "be strong."
A certain friend from Lubbock - the need to stock up on necessities to help her get through a storm including a case of beer and some smokes. (I swear I'm not making fun. I swear!)
2)I'm an old woman.
Seriously, I'm in bed and about to fall asleep when my doorbell rings. Being who I am, I saunter up to the front bedroom window to peep outside between the blinds. The whole time I'm thinking "whose car is outside and wants a piece of this." Instead I find three eight year olds scurrying across my lawn. My ego completely falls into the floor when I realize I just got pranked.
I speak with my dear friend originally from Lubbock and have her sit on the phone while I open the front door to see if there is a flaming bag of poo out there. No bag of poo. I think the boys were having a sleep over and decided to play a prank on the old lady down the street. The old lady being me. Boo.
Saturday
People from Houston have no fear - a Hurricane is coming up from Houston, and we might get 3 inches of rain and 50 mile per hour winds, but a table full of native Houstonians still shows up for brunch in Dallas to enjoy the humidity and mimosas.
Sunday
Vegas is not sin city - that would be Antartica. I met my old friend Paige for lunch with her husband. He is awaiting to see if he grant has come through for him to go to Antartica. He goes every two years usually for about 3 months to study seals. He likes being down there, and he loves his work, but he said socially he has issues. I thought this was because he was shy. I questioned about whether he would like lessons from me on making friends.
He gave me a look, and then went on to clarify his statement. He said no, his issue was that people get down there, and they seem to forget about the rest of their lives. Everyone is having sex. Everyone including many of his collegues who are married. There are parties every night and professors are sleeping with interns. Lab techs on lab techs. He said they did a study of it, and its called the law of 3000 miles. When you get that far away from your real life, you just forget about it.
Who knew Antartica was an orgy??

Colbert did a bit about this (oh year, no cable!) Anyway, I googled Colbert, condoms, and Antarctica and this story came up. Monday, June 09, 2008 Massive condom shipment arrives in Antarctica.
One of the last shipments to a U.S. research base in Antarctica before the onset of winter darkness was a year's supply of condoms, a New Zealand newspaper reported on Monday.
Bill Henriksen, the manager of the McMurdo base station, said nearly 16,500 condoms were delivered last month and would be made available, free of charge, to staff throughout the year to avoid the potential embarrassment of having to buy them.
The base only has a skeleton staff through the long winter.
"Since everybody knows everyone, it becomes a little bit uncomfortable," Henriksen told the Southland Times newspaper.
About 125 scientists and staff are stationed at McMurdo base, the largest community in Antarctica, during the winter months when there is constant darkness.
i need to move to antartica.
I know where our next vacation is going to be... =)
If it will make you feel better, I'll be glad to come over and "poo" on your porch.
