The Birth of VUBOQ as Re-Enacted by Gay Bears, Part I

In a recent email conversation with David, I realized that I have never explained the origins of my name (or if I had, I've forgotten, so you're just going to have to read it again, kittens).

Without further ado, I give you a new Weekend Serial:

The Birth of VUBOQ as Re-Enacted by Gay Bears (and a virus or two)

Part I: The Cast of Characters (in order of appearance)

The role of VUBOQ will be played by:

Jesus Christ (aka Buzzy)

The role of the Ex-BFF will be played by:

Syphilis (which is surprisingly fitting)

The role of the Ex-BFF's friend (whose name I have forgotten) will be played by:

birthofvuboq 004
Mononucleosis

The role of the SuperCute Shop Assistant Manager will be played by:

birthofvuboq 002
Muhammad (aka Buddy)

Stay Tuned next week for Part II: The Dinner

    Oh, this is gonna be good! I can tell. Last time we had a story featuring Jesus Christ and Muhammad it was very good. Mononucleosis and Syphilis look like shifty characters.

    Damn! I'm with Anon--you can't leave us hanging until NEXT WEEKEND!!!

    A long time ago I did a post on the characters populating my head. Why, oh why didn't I illustrate using stuffed animals?

    And all this time I assumed you got the name from your parents.

    Mononucleosis is cute. My daughter names all her stuffed animals after STDs.

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
