i know there are certain phrases that i picked up from my parents that no one will say anymore in like 20 years

it just occurred to me that i've never heard anyone but my parents say "tap mac" when they mean "hit the ATM," and it's my natural instinct to say that. i'm sure there are other things, but that one just hit me because i just said it to my friend.

I'm with ya. I say tap mac all the time but no one ever knows what the hell I'm talking about. Not just the tap part either. They don't call them mac machines anywhere else.

I learned "tap MAC" when I started college but it seems to have gradually fallen out of favor.

Trading Jack Wilson and Freddie Sanchez must have been the straw that broke their back

Too soon?

Ditto. First couple of times I got the "Huh?" look when I said it, I thought THEY were clueless, the last time was such a deer in headlights moment, I realized, other people just don't say "tap mac" any more. So glad I'm not the only mac tapper left.

I think my tomatoe plants know how to read a calendar. All through late July the perfect green tomatoes refused to turn red, despite all my encouragement. Suddenly, it's August, and they're going from green to red in massive quantities. Who needs tomatoes?

Trying to catch up on a week of BSG and news/economics reading is making me go cross eyed.

Still getting used to living on the beach, I can't turn around without walking into a girl who is a legit 8. This is good. This is also very, very distracting.

I've used the phrase "in over my head" in 100 different ways since making this move. One of those contexts was in such an off the charts, too good to be true situation, that I haven't told anyone about what happened in fear of being called a liar.

Starting what should be a decent paying bar tending job on Thursday. Paying 10/hr to train for the first day, then it's 100 guaranteed per shift no matter the traffic with the potential for more. Provided I can get enough shifts, that will probably take care of the bills.

how many naked parties have you attended?

by **kruker** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 01:01:55

Duets, no full fledged naked parties. I haven't crossed that boundary yet. Although the pool at the resort may meet that criteria. Girls are always tanning in various states of undress and plenty of booze to go around.

You have to tell us now.

I just replied to a work email chain with the single word

HA

I restrained myself and omitted the "/ek"

I once responded to a work e-mail chain with "Unsubscribe," which didn't have the intended effect.

My work shoes squeak down the hall like the mating call of a duck.
