Make Me Laugh Monday – Frosting
Before I begin, I should probably mention… I am going to can MMLM. *winces*
I am getting “performance anxiety”. This doesn’t mean I am going to quit “funny”… no… I will never quite “funny”. I’ll quit “funny” when I quit breathing. I just have found I am not able to be the funny I want to be on a schedule. Also, the Mr. Linky thing is a pain and… yadda, yadda, yadda…
However, today is Monday, so I’m gonna post my last “official” MMLM post. SO… Awhile back I confessed to you all that I have a certain shirt I do not wear in public. In the comments, most folks encouraged me to wear it out. Today, I was feeling lazy and maybe I was up for a bit of a social experiment. Besides, it was early enough in the day… so I knew not too many folks would see what I wore:
Friends I did it. Did. I ran out real-quick-like to grap donuts and coffee for the fam. Basically, I wore my jammies in front of my Public. I’m classy that way. Though I wear t-shirts and yoga/sweat pants to bed, so… yeah.
I walked into the coffee shop and placed my order. I went to the little coffee shop in the grocery store that I frequent all-too frequently. The gals recognize me and ” know” me in a “I don’t even have to tell them what I want cuz they already know what I’m gonna order” sort-of way {a mocha with a splash of raspberry thankyouverymuch). So, the gal who was taking my order is one of the gals I “know” the least. She’s a sweetie with a delightful smile, but I think her personality leans to the shy-side. Who knows. It is entirely likely I am scary and she is not actually shy… perhaps I need to tone down the glitter… I digress…
But today, I walked up. I placed my order. She looked at my rack shirt. I believe she winced. She looked away and then looked again. She may have been worried I was thinkin’ she was checkin’ out mah rack. I will not expand on my opinion of mah “rack”, cuz there’s not much to expand on… *ahem*… I digress – again…
She stepped back.
Yeah.
I don’t think it was becuase of her work, I think it was because she was concerned about MY line of WORK.
I strategically pulled my hair back. I really wanted her to discern that there was an “F” not “P” in front of “ostitution”. She kept trying not to look, but… I felt so bad for her.
Then I kept wondering, “Should I just say something, should I just saysoomethingshouldIjustsaysomething??!!
I thought, “OhMyHeck! I have a nose stud and pink stripes in my hair. She thinks… she’s gonna think… What is she thinking? SHOULDISAYSOMETHING?????!!!”
I think I should have said something. SRSLY.
I have no idea. I just know next time I go in, there is a pretty good chance she won’t want to touch my money. Who knows where it came from…
See what happens when I listen to you!

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

R.I.P. MMLM
Oh, I LOVE that shirt! I’m laughing that you did wear it out, I’m not brave enough, but hilarious!
I am saddened by the end of MMLM. I need to find another outlet now – one that is not as fattening as frosting from the can.
Love ya!
awesome shirt…i’m sure you will still mmlm…just like you do every other day!
I am sad you are quitting MMLM! I love this!
Well,here’s a funny little story in honor of the last MMLM post.
This morning I was cleaning up as usual before I make breakfast and I happen to look at my hands. They had glitter on them. I have NO idea where glitter came from, I didn’t have anything with glitter around. Weird. I ask my husband “Where did this glitter come from?” and he replies “I don’t know, Did you touch Jenny?”
Hellfire! I go away for one lousy camping trip and no more MMLM?! Nooooooo!
I join the crowd of people sad to see MMLM go bye bye but I know that it’s hard to be funny on demand – even for someone with your massive talents.
Thanks for the giggle Jenn…looking forward to discovering giggles on random days – well, actually, with you it’s most days! Great shirt!
Girl.. you wear that shirt around me and your sure to get a five spot tucked in your pants…RAWR!
It’s good if she won’t touch your money, as long as she gives you the goods. Next time, though, PLEASE pay with a $100 bill. I dare you.
Bummer. I had a MMLM post waiting for two weeks, you didn’t do one last week so I was waiting for this week! I guess I’ll just post it anyway! I’m a bit sad about it but I can understand trying to have something funny for the same day each week. I wasn’t able to do it every weeks so I can imagine that sometimes it can be difficult. You are funny most days anyway! Thanks for hosting it as long as you did. You are brave (I think I’ve said that before), I wouldn’t have the nerve to wear that shirt. Too bad you didn’t have a hidden video camera, it would be funny to see the reactions!!
Here is my funny monday post… on tuesday. What exactly is frostitution?

LOL! I can picture it clearly in my mind.
YEAH!!! You wore it!! Love this! Social experimentation is da bomb fa realz!
btw, did you by chance happen to come across one in green that does have a “P” in front of the rostitution??? Jus wonderin..
I totally would’ve said something. But that’s only because when I get really nervous I tend to start talking, a lot, and fast, and use my hands to make really emphatic gestures. And then end up saying something stupid and wish I had just kept my mouth shut.
Yea, perhaps you were right not to say anything.
Cupcake Royale ROCKS. Hell, Cupcakes are spot on for rockingness altogether.
Where’s my Jenny? It’s been two. whole. days. Are you busy writing on that *other* blog?
I got my package with the book and the GLITTER!
Thanks girlfriend…love the packaging. You have SUCH style.
