Sure is Monday...

There's a country song called Sure is Monday by Mark Chesnutt that sums up my weekend and how I feel today. Here's the quick list of what went down:

  • Drove to Rochester, NY to celebrate a friend's birthday (Ray)

  • Ate at Country Sweet Chicken & Ribs

  • Drank most of a bottle of burbon with pals

  • Went to terrible strip club

  • Slept past noon

  • Went to state park to go swimming in natural body of water an hour away from Rochester

  • Saw one of the strippers from the night before there with her kids (didn't think they left their coffins during the day...)

  • BBQ'd with Ray's mom

  • Drank more burbon

  • Went to Karaoke; sang horribly

  • Drank Jack and Pepsi all night...singing seemed to improve

  • Ate a garbage plate, a drunken rochester signature meal



  • Slept

  • Went to Ray's mom's for one of the best goddamn breakfasts of my life

  • Took a 'Garbage Plate Dump,' (a signature move of anyone consuming one), but not at Nick's. Expose as little skin as possible in Nick Tahou's, and certainly not your genitalia.

  • Drove back to Boston

  • Got stuck in traffic

  • Discovered the gas cover no longer opens

  • Figured a way in there through the trunk

  • Arrived home at 11:30 PM

"I had a ball Friday, Saturday, and SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, but it's all over now and it SURE IS MONDAY."

I have a CD by Butch Walker and there is a song on there called
# 1 Summer Jam. check it out.
There's a line in it that goes something like this:
i like to think i'm a pretty slick guy but something in the sunlight between your thighs turned me into mush with a certified crush on you and oh what a fool I must be so far away from my world, so won't you come back Sunday, everyday's a monday.

I love that song on Mondays.
# 1, it ain't country
# 2 It's catchy and you have to really read his lyrics to understand him.
# 3 as an added bonus, he's kind of hot
Ps. My FAVOURITE songs on this CD are called Lights Out and Race cars and goth rock

'Took a garbage plate dump.'

That's poetry, man.

Ben said...

Yeah, the dump looked sorta like the picture of the plate I just put up there. Except it burned more coming out than it did going in. The 'in' was the good kind of burn.

The 'out,' not so much...

I also went to Rochester and back to Boston (with a detour to Canada) over the weekend. Were we in the same car, by chance?

The garbage plate looks sooo yummy. I can't believe it is on wikepedia. How funny...

Ben said...

Gigi, it's the most ridiculously wonderful drunk food ever invented. It comes with a mighty price, though.

Sara said...

Kristi said...

Oooh. A garbage plate. That brings back memories. I only had one, once, but I never forgot it.
