hold the tantrum...for a while

The voice of reason spoke to me through the medium of Mr 747 yesterday.

I got to hand it to the guy – he's a sensible chap. Besides being hysterically amusing, (fuck he was on form on Saturday, Jesus. Hangover Humour obviously works for him, because he was just rolling out the one liners like it was nobody's business.)

Anyway, besides being funny, serious, fun, and loving any music with more than 3 000 beats a second (ie: Disko Kandi is in his CD player), he managed to talk me out of doing something rash and volatile yesterday. This is not to say I won't do it, but I'll at least sit on it a while and think about it first. "Don't get too tense...buy a caravan."
Ah.

But the nicest thing was he said he'd still back me up if I did do it. Bless. That kinda meant a lot.

(His workmates...Howdy hi. Stop chirping him.)

Also, when I was freaking out about my job status, he managed to throw in some positive reasoning about it. It's good to know – mostly because I'm very unreasonable sometimes so this definitely helps.

You know when you get hot-headed about something, and steam blows out of your ears and you think you're just going to explode if you don't actively do something, and your dogged-determination and fiercely stubborn nature makes you just the most unreasonable person on the planet? (I'm only unreasonable when I'm pissed off - generally I'm pretty sensible, I swear.)

I'm more content with life on a general scale than I've been in a very long time. Maybe it's because summer is here, the flowers are out, the music is good, and the gin and tonics are cold. I don't have many complaints right now, except for the usual like being overworked, Joburg traffic and I'm paler than a Scandanavian who's lived beneath the Earth's crust his whole life.

Morning Peas.

So let me guess... You're not going to tell us what it is that Mr 747 talked you out of doing?

Peas on Toast said...

Tyrone - put it this way, if I do do it, you'll know about it :)

Izz said...

Hey, I posted chapter one of my epic novel on my blog. Please check out it and once you've had a chance to read it, please leave me a small review comment. I will be posting subsequent chapters just to balance my view of this book.

Peas on Toast said...

Izz - sure thing dude, sounds great!

Revolving Credit said...

Ermm....spring is here, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for summer though!

Peas on Toast said...

Don't know what it's like is Slaapstad Rev, but it's sure fire hotazel here. Bring out the bikinis! :)

Revolving Credit said...

Bikini's hey!

Cool, post some pics!
Post some pale Scandanavian bikini pics, then you can post some more in late summer and do a comparison.

Did you ever get that gold bikini you were salivating about??

Peas on Toast said...

Rev - no, I had to settle on some bronzey ensemble that looks green after I swim in it. Buggeration.

Tell you what, if I lose the love handles and manage to absorb a tan in the Seychelles, I'll post a pic up of...my leg or something :)

Revolving Credit said...

Leg pic???

Which part of bikini pics did you not understand?

You gonna have to have at least some one ass pic, all coconut oiled on the beach and all that shit...someone sipping maitai's in the background.

Hey, maybe even some booby pic if you get the tan line thing right.

Peas on Toast said...

Ooh I know! This will be a peach:
How about a Guess Whose Nipple This Is? Competition?

Me, my mother's, my two aunts and my gran's?

I know it'll turn you on.

Revolving Credit said...

You and various members of your family all share the same nipple??

Kinda scary/freaky/turn you on type of thing!

Question: So who gets to take the nipple on holiday or have you got a timeshare roster alreadt drafted?

Does this nipple have a name???

Peas on Toast said...

The nipple is called...Eujiveniah.

Like that chick on Grey's Anatomy.
Apt, eh?

I'll send you a template of all the various nipples I see and you can guess whose is who. C'mon, it'll be fun.

Betenoir said...

here's what you do-

every time you get mad and want to kick somebody's arse, have sex. trust me, it's a great way to blow off steam, and also afterwards you'll be in such a good mood you will be filled with goodwill. if you aren't...just keep having sex until you do.

I have spoken, that is all.

Peas on Toast said...

Well now Bete, you're talking sense lady!

Positively terrific plan.
I most certainly will do :)

Revolving Credit said...

Read Bete's comment carefully!

You're going to give birth to a kid called Good Will...ROFL

Good Will suckling on Eujiveniah = Priceless!!

hahah...still trying to catch breath from laughing..stomach muscles really sore...hahaha

Peas on Toast said...

Rev - Goodwill sucking Eujiviniah.

I fail to see the humour, albeit you laughing hard and gasping at your desk is pretty amusing ;)

Revolving Credit said...

OK let's try this slowy...

"every time you get mad and want to kick somebody's arse, have sex. trust me, it's a great way to blow off steam, and also afterwards you'll be in such a good mood you will be filled with goodwill. if you aren't...just keep having sex until you do."

Peas on Toast said...

Rev, dude, I get it. I do.
Just giving birth to Goodwill isn't that amusing. For me anyway.

Spawn and me don't mix. :(

Revolving Credit said...

Spawn and you don't mix.

Then be careful of when
Sperm and you mix!

Peas on Toast said...

Thanks for the reminder Rev! :)

SheBee said...

Bloody insane, the lot of you!

:)

Mixing sperm and such... tisk tisk.

Peas on Toast said...

Sperm smells weird.

Revolving Credit said...

Shebee...be careful getting things mixed up.

You may end up referring to someone as the 'Sperm of the Devil'!

Then again, based on yesterdays' post, Satan does appear to be quite an influencial character in Peas's life...so who knows??

Revolving Credit said...

"Sperm smells weird."

Peas, have been been confusing coke with coc...nevermind!!

Peas on Toast said...

It tastes weird too.

Revolving Credit said...

You been licking those porno mag 'scratch-n-sniff' inserts, haven't you!

What do you mean by weird?
Don't all airline food smell and taste a bit strange??

Peas on Toast said...

And it sure as hell looks weird.

All in all, sperm is just downright dodge.

SheBee said...

Yup, a mixture of salt water and snot about sums up the weirdness in taste and looks of sperm.

Revolving Credit said...

For people who decry the weirdness of this substance, you both do seem to be rather well versed as to its olfactory and viscous properties.

SheBee said...

Oh I forgot to say it resembles mayonaise that's been left in the sun too long

:)


Or so I hear, Rev.

Peas on Toast said...

..Oh my God.

No more chicken mayo for me. The viscosity and olfactory qualities of the sauce will now just remind of great big pools of jizz.

Revolving Credit said...

So as long as you have it with french fries, you'll be ok???

Scenario 1

Peas: Dick-n-Chips please!

Waitress: Would you like to super-size that???

Peas on Toast said...

But don't you find mayo just smells weird?

Revolving Credit said...

Peas, but I though you were of French extraction???

So suppposed to be drolling at the though of mayo!

So Frenchman, many years ago invent mayo to con women into oral sex.

Now THAT GUYS was a fucking genius.
Someone should erect a monument to this bloke.

SheBee said...

Omg! And they use "eggs" to make it!

Siff siff siff!!!

Peas on Toast said...

The French are amazing hey.
The even coined the term "cassolet" for the pungent odour of a woman. All her bodily fluids and pheromones. Which should directly be "foul, minging women."

PS: A mayo statue?

SheBee said...

They could dubb it "Ye old Cross & Blackwell"

Vimbai said...

The Voice of Reason seems to be coming in all delectable forms and sizes these days! Methinks 747 is a keeper.

Eish, i am working on my summer tan as we speak, holidaying is lovely: need to go from sickly yellow to somc caramel honey shade asap.

Revolving Credit said...

Hey, in the state they have a Mayo Clinic???

Sounds like blowjob central to me!!

Peas on Toast said...

Mayo. Guys. Can't we talk about mustard?

Vimbai- I'd give my left ovary to be yellow now. At the moment I'm just blue :(
Yeah 747 can stay :)
