Happy Holidays
So there I was, sitting in my kitchen. Once again caught in the dilemma of how many bowls of Corn Flakes I have to eat to equal one bowl of Total. When all of a sudden, my phone begins to vibrate. “Mom, stop texting me from the other room.” I initially thought to myself. Much to my surprise however, it wasn’t my mother. It was my old childhood best friend sending me a text message.
Now, you must know, that somehow over the years we have developed a love/hate relationship with each other. All we do is constantly put each other down. Or bash on each other’s sports teams. All in fun… most of the time.
On this day, my friend, Rob, wanted to inform me of a trade rumor in which he more than likely has no reliable source at all. In fact, he probably just completely made it up.
Rob Queener:
Braves are going to sign roy halladay and matt holliday.
But instead of starting any unnesecary sports banter, I responded with a joke.
Here was my joke:
Austin (Me):
And then Madonna for her song, ‘Holiday’.
Rob:
And then cameron diaz from “the holiday”
Austin:
And then they will pick up Kris Kringle from free agency.
Rob:
And then the easter bunny from waivers.
Austin:
And then they are moving their franchise to Holiday World in Indiana.
Rob:
In which the stadium will be named after their newest sponsor: holiday inn.
Austin:
They want to build a winning team so they can qualify for the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.
I know this might possibly be the most pointless post we have ever had, but heck, who doesn’t love a text message conversation with as many “Holiday” references in it as possible? I know Chevy Chase does!
