cuz yer gorp's broke

I talked to BellyRub this evening. He said he'd been feeling low. I sent him an email today that he said made him laugh really hard. It went like this:

It looks like she's wearing one of the pac man ghosts for a shirt. Very shapely and flattering.

If you're a barrel.

This is the ghostly sweater in question. I believe the wearer and location have been sufficiently obfuscated. Do note the resemblance to the little PacMan ghost who was blue. She wore a flirty little skirty in the cartoon. It reminds this girl of that little outfit.

And the barrels who would wear it.

So I called BellyRub. We had a good laugh about the PacMan thing. Then, as we were talking, we started to not be able to understand each other. It has something to do with laughing so hard we're coughing like old smokers. It has something to do with cell phone static. It has something to do with us often being unable to understand each other.

I was saying to him that something at the community center, the uh, "yeah, well, they're calling it a boiler...that's the same as a furnace, right?"

"What? What did you say? Gorp?"

"Boy-uh-lur. That's what I said."

"Oh! Boiler! I can see gorp out of that!"

I'm giggling like a fool now.

"Speaking of gorps..."

I'm giggling louder now.

He chuckles, "You know that car that mom used to have? That red Honda?"

"Yeah, how old is that, now?"

"It's a 94. Well, it's gorp's broken."

"Oooh."

"It's broken ON."

"Oh!"

"You can imagine me on those 23 days of ninety degree weather driving around with the windows open, radio blasting."

I'm giggling again.

"I was going to a concert with a bunch of guys. I said I would drive." He starts laughing like an asthmatic. "So five guys pile in the car."

"You did _not_ drive to the concert!"

"I totally did. I was such a jerk. And laughing all the way. With the gorp on high."
