[Editor's note: No one has ever asked FWG where he was when Kennedy was shot.]
But if Michael Jackson's death is the Kennedy of my generation -
[Editor's note: Not very likely. Half of FWG's friends are cheering, "The PED is DEAD!"]
- then I will not forget where I was. I was on Facebook chatting with Cap'n Vino. Here lies the transcript, forever immortalized:
FWG [is off duty ‘til Monday night!]
coincidence? obviously not.
Cap'n Vino [Wow, Farrah and MJ on the same day?]
I've never really been into it myself, but who am I to judge?
FWG
been into what?
Cap'n Vino
duty.
ok, I clearly did not get enough sleep.
FWG
I was talkin bout MJ and FF
Cap'n Vino
ok, now your comment makes more sense.
add Ed McMahon to the mix and there's your 3.
FWG
what about the leblanc guy?
Cap'n Vino
Patrick Swayze is wiping his brow, I'm sure.
who?
FWG
whatever
Cap'n Vino
matt leblanc? joey from friends?
FWG
no this guy was 81 and died yesterday and the newspaper ppl thought that was significant
and he was canadian
Cap'n Vino
oh, romeo
FWG
tada
Cap'n Vino
but he wasn't in entertainment, so apparently he doesn't count.
FWG
he probably watched TV
thats entertainment
Cap'n Vino
I don't know...a guy named romeo...he was probably more into reading shakespeare
FWG
u win
Cap'n Vino
excellent. it's all about winning
FWG
THIS JUST IN...
rod has emailed cottage response
Cap'n Vino
und?
FWG
he only has one vacation day left
what a loser
Cap'n Vino
and I guess he's not willing to take a leave of absence for the remaining 6 days?
you told him there'd be booze right?
FWG
friggin guy's back and forth between his office and Dallas office all the time
he should just tell each office he's at the other
Cap'n Vino
that works for me. he could go into town every couple of days and make a call. problem solved.
FWG
presto
Cap'n Vino
I'm growing basil...I could make that
oops...presto. never mind
FWG
I'm lost. what's the word I'm looking for?
Cap'n Vino
map?
FWG
something -esto
Cap'n Vino
manifesto
FWG
pesto?
thtz not it
is it?
Cap'n Vino
basil, olive oil, pine nuts? yep, pesto is it.
FWG
okay. dunno why it became so unfamiliar to me all of a sudden
Cap'n Vino
it's a funny word. I say we call it presto from now on.
FWG
I'm in.
and a one item pizza is called pepperonli
Cap'n Vino
I'm having a hard time saying that one and I'm nearly sober.
FWG
PEPPER... ONLY
CINCH
oops - cappslock stuck
Cap'n Vino
stop yelling at me!!!
I think the I at the end threw me off
if I were to have a one topping pizza, it would probably be mushrooms.
we could call it mushroomi
FWG
not in my house you wouldn't
but you're at the shop
Cap'n Vino
I am so
FWG
you are so
Cap'n Vino
what did you call me?!?
FWG
So.
Cap'n Vino
I see.
I'm sending off a message to my friend jeannine to see if they are available.
FWG
bravo
Cap'n Vino
I crack me up.
FWG
yeah, that word 'available'
Cap'n Vino
What are the chances that you guys have some vacation time available Aug. 29-Sept. 5? We've rented a cottage up north with our friend FWG. Stacey (our wedding photog, and Plonk's gay cousin's ex-wife) was due to come along but just bailed.So FWG and us decided to take turns asking people who would be fun to see if they are available. He got first dibs, but his person only has one day of vacation left. Our turn!You're my number one! (of course, if you guys can't make it, I'll be telling all my other picks that they were number one, but you seriously ARE my first pick.) It is such an awesome place. This is our 3rd year there. It's the only cottage on the lake. VERY PRIVATE. No hydro. Propane appliances and lights.Anyhooo, let me know if you guys are interested.ciao baby.
there...sent
FWG
Nice.
All your previous picks were busy, I guess.
Cap'n Vino
ya, pretty much.
I'm hooked on this damn bouncing balls game!
FWG
sounds painful
Cap'n Vino
it's not a real hook
FWG
ew
Cap'n Vino
I'm getting a hand cramp from playing so much
FWG
i think i've heard enough
did you guys ever meet my friends tim and aaron from Florida?
Cap'n Vino
yes, many years ago
FWG
they've talked about wanting to visit this summer. They may be my next proposal if Jeanine ixnays.
Cap'n Vino
sounds groovy
FWG
did u just say groovy?
Cap'n Vino
no, but I may have typed it
FWG
oh yes - there it is.
Cap'n Vino
yes, I've just browsed the transcripts. I did, in fact, type "groovy"
FWG
would you call the cottage wheel-chair accessible?
Cap'n Vino
well, there's a ramp to get in, but I'm not sure about door sizes and all that.
getting to the beach could be a chore too
FWG
acknowledged.
Cap'n Vino
why? who's in a wheelchair?
FWG
Frank of "Frank and Jeff"
awsone fellas
aw-SUM, I mean

Cap'n Vino

Cap'n Vino

Cap'n Vino

I made it all the way to the end, and I was entertained all the way through. Am I easy or just sleepy?
Part sleepy. Part easy. (sleasy?) okay, nevermind.
OMG! People still say, 'later gator.' I was styling my hair like a young Farrah Fawcett when I heard the news of MJ. -- Austin Girl
I was walking home from the market with my second born daughter, when my oldest called my cell to tell me "Mom, guess what?"
"What."
"Micheal Jackson died."
"Yeh, ok."
"No really. He died."
"I'm coming home now."
"You don't believe me? It's all over."
"Whatever, he was just a weirdo celebrity. I'm on my way home now."
I DIDN'T believe her, because she has a weird sense of humour, and when she tried to "convince" me she was laughing. I suppose she was laughing because she knew I didn't believe her, but oh well.
I got home, and she showed me on CNN, and I went "OH. Gee."
Anyways, that was where I was, lol.
So, where am I on the "Invite to the Cottage" list? I'm available. ;-)
I was more upset about Farrah than MJ, truthfully.
