tollbooth comedy

We were out for a drive the other day and had to go through a toll booth. Ted said to me “Do you have coins,” and I got a 2 euro coin and gave it to him, and he turned and threw it toward the coin basket. Only he smacked his hand on the closed window and the coin bounced off into the footwell, which pretty well reduced us to hysterical laughter, because it was just so perfectly slapstick. Ted rolled down the window and tossed the coin in and…

In the meantime, I’m watching a bunch of rocket scientists prepare to land a spacecraft on a comet, because I live in the future and I can *do* that. Wow.…

So I just got done working and went downstairs and glanced into the living room as I walked by, and a shirtless Patrick Swayze was on TV, and I said to Ted, “Roadhouse?” And then I thought, and said to Ted, “Why have I seen Roadhouse often enough that I can identify it by those particular two seconds of half-naked Patrick Swayze?” and concluded (also aloud) that the answer was probably “Well, Patrick Swayze.” A few minutes later there’s a sex scene and it’s up against a rough stone wall…

I have since received several emails from readers and friends laughing at me for being surprised, but honestly, it was a lark, it IS a lark, I figured I should give myself FORTY-FIVE DAYS to make it work, when, jeez, I don’t know, maybe a week would have been enough. So I love you guys. At this moment, there are (technically) 7 kinds of fudge…

CE Murphy’s Fantasy Fudge

You guys are a bad influence. :) Enough people said “tryyyyy it” that I went ahead and launched a Fantasy Fudge Project page, which amuses me, at the least. (And, er, it’s actually already gotten more funding than I would have expected, honestly. You’re not only a bad influence but you’re wonderful. And funny. *laughs*) Ted and I actually sat down and costed everything out last night (there are advantages to being married to a professionally trained chef!) and while the early backer fudge is expensive, it’s actually a pretty…
