As the wife of one of those men and the best friend of the other, even I am disturbed by this. I shouldn’t be but I am!

Don’t just sing Bohemian Rhapsody, you gotta bust loose some Fat Bottomed Girls and I’m in Love with My Car.

Can you sing The Bohemian Rhapsody better than the Canadian drunk? What does Tunch think of the singing?
Suffern ACE
Bicycle. Bicycle!

I know which song you can sing when you are

But who does the Brian May air guitar?

14 walks for the cubs. 12 for the brewers. And we’re not done yet.

Nah. One VDMAM would be much sadder.
To all my friends!

@Suffern ACE: Not that it matters in this battle for bragging rights over 2nd to last place, but that’s 14 for the cubs. 6 for the brewers. Was adding up strikeouts. I am sorry for being wrong on the internet

@schrodinger’s cat: I was singing a little while ago and one of my cats glared at me and got all agitated. Everyone’s a critic .

Sounds fucking hilarious. Video plz. kthx.

Hahaha. Thanks for the laugh. I was traveling today and sometime between taking off in Atlanta and landing in Memphis, my best friend’s mother died. I turn on my phone the second we land, and that message pops up on my screen. And I just start bawling there in first class. And I’m a wee bit mortified about the whole sobbing in public thing. Luckily I had kleenexes in my purse. And I had to call my folks and let them know, because they were good friends also. I’ve known her for almost 40 years. And I still haven’t reached my friend.And it’s Mother’s Day Weekend. A few weeks ago she was diagnosed with either frontal lobe dementia,or brain cancer,and a cracked spine causing a psychotic break,and breast cancer. So yea, we knew this was coming, but not this quickly.
I missed my first flight home today because I got lost in Newark in a not great neighborhood, looking for a gas station. And I decided to pay Avis 9+& a gallon to fill the damned car up, and I have no idea if my boss will approve that charge or if it’ll have to come out of my pocket. My favorite, most comfortable bra broke when I took it off. There’s only 3 beers in the house. And I managed somehow to lose the business card of this really attractive attorney I met last night at dinner. And can’t remember his name. He wanted to take me to dinner next time I’m up there. Did I mention he was attractive? And there’s only 3 beers? (Yes, there is wine and booze, but I wanted beer!)
So thanks for the laughs John Cole and Tams! I really, really needed them. And I love Queen. And I want the artichoke carbonara recipe please.

Obligatory.

For those who haven’t already seen this viral video, and since Queen is mentioned, check this out…the first few minutes are a lot of fun, and it stars a real parrot.

If you haven’t seen this, John and your friend, it should give you a good chuckle.

And just last thread I told you that you were winning.
Scotch, or what?

This is getting disturbing. But I’ll assume this is all a part of “the project.”

At least it’s Queen, Cole. Queen rules.

Well, at least now I know where my husband is.

I knew there was a new thread! Video, or it never happened, Cole. Also, Tunchie, too.
@Dee Loralei: So sorry to hear that, Dee Loralei. My condolences to you and your best friend.
@Yutsano: I love that fucking song! And, yes, it’s apt for Cole.
@eemom: Left you a link in the last thread.

@asiangrrlMN:

This is normal behavior. If you tackle your next door neighbor and forcibly cut off his hair then I’ll be worried.

Expect some enterprising soul to organize a small movement any time now to have people show up at Mitt appearances wearing wigs made to have long blond hair draped over one eye.

@Dee Loralei: For the missing business card problem, the state bar association will have a list of all its lawyers. Go through it until you see the right name. This will work best if it’s a small state with not too many lawyers.
For everything else, I send you good vibes.

I’m picturing this, John Cole, times two, right about now. Jump to 1:37 in if you don’t want the set up.

Saddest thing ever? Only if it’s followed by a heartfelt Whitney Houston tribute, featuring “Saving All My Love” and “Greatest Love of All.” Clothing optional.

You could have omitted “drunk.” This was clearly understood in context.

C’mon over to my house on a Friday night and you will see very drunk middle-agers dancing their happy asses off to “Shakedown Street”. Any time, Cole.

For Cole’s sake, I was hoping the co-worker was female…

Hilariously sad, not pathetically sad.
JoeShabadoo
The only sad thing is if you aren’t one of the ones singing.
There are few things sadder than someone who can’t even cut loose after drinking and bring themselves to sing something like Queen.

@Dee Loralei:
damn if you didn’t channel some 21st century (female, of course) Travis McGee. hope you felt better after.

Seems to me–with the joy of the earlier open thread list of a fab dinner–that as long as you sing MANY songs along with that wonderful troubador, that your night doesn’t sound sad to me at all–it sounds fun and delicious and memorable.
Freddie–we hardly knew ye. Thanks for all the great songs scored so insanely memorably that they haunt my dreams.

No. The saddest thing ever is watching middle aged rich people try to dance to Cee Lo at a function.
Which what what I got paid for last Saturday night. (Don’t ask.)

please let there be video please let there be video

It’s seriously the saddest fucking thing ever.
Saddest? Maybe not the awesomest, but I’d say it falls on the awesome side of the scale.
Might not be a spectator sport tho
