I,too, have withdrawn my patronage from several places of business. But, I really like the way your mother does it much better! Such drama! Such poise! I can hardly wait to be treated poorly again!!

Doncha think "little pieces of peach and lesbian" would be an awesome name for a punk band? Maybe it's just me.

I love the visual of your mum storming out of a restaurant, etc., etc. She and my mum should go shopping together. (Mum's siblings call her "The Countess" if that helps).

"There would have been a loud explosion and little pieces of peach and lesbian everywhere if we had."

This caused perfectly good water to be spewed onto a perfectly good keyboard and monitor. I'm not sure any of it will be perfectly good now. You just can't say these things and not expect spewage to be involved. FerNORma'sSake.

Hope you have a great day and have fun tomorrow night!!!

OMG, and...I'm laughing, I'm laughing. (delivered in the tone for "and we're walking,....we're walking..")

Anne is hot shit. It's her birthday, so she can name punk bands anything she wants. And that IS a pretty good name!

Very cool on the bike! Have fun at Stitch & Pitch...it seems impossible NOT to have a blast.

Hey, TMK! Can you fix the damn thing so it remembers me? And while you're at it, fix Stephanie's too, huh? The comments thingy, I mean. It hates me. It tries to pretend it doesn't remember me. Damn Macs. Oops. I bet I just overstepped my bounds, eh? Sorry. I love Macs.I really do. Some of my best FRIENDS are Macs, even!

Actually, I was thinking the peaches and lesbians would be the band name and the entire phrase would make an excellent album name.

What should the song list be?

Norma: Sorry to tell you but Ryan's blog remembers me AND my Mac. I'll have to post something over at Yarnharlot and see if her blog remembers me.

Let's see...are your running OSX Panther or Tiger? (I'm using Panther 10.3.9) Have you updated Safari to the latest version for your OS? (1.3 v312) Did you check the little box that says "Remember info?" ;-) (Sorry, that one just had to be asked!) And if you're on a PC, could *that* be your problem? :-)

(Yes, before anyone mentions it, I am a Mac geek and cult member.)

TMK

Well...don't I feel important. THe comments things remembered ME, Norma. I feel spay-shule.

The "little pieces of peach and lesbian" is priceless....I had imagings of the aftermath...Small boy to dad: What is that stuff dad?" Dad: "It's pieces of peach son..and...and...well,...it looks like lesbian. Don't touch it."

I am SO JEALOUS I want to go to the bookbookbook party so bad I can't stand it. :(

Norma, in TMK's defense, she has nothing to do with whether MovableType remembers you or not. It seems to be a hit 'n' miss thing. Sometimes I'm remembered on some MovableType sites, sometimes I'm not. I sympathize!

Er, Anne, my mother has been busy trying to Withdraw Her Patronage from the Great Restaurant in the Sky for ten years now, so I'm afraid your mum and she aren't going to be doing any shopping together any time soon. At least, I certainly HOPE not!

Stalker Angie, my apologies for the spewage but, remember, TMK and I are still recovering from YOUR description in YOUR blog of YOUR house as an insane menagerie, so fair's fair.

Laura, practice makes perfect. The most important thing is the cold, slitted eyes and the nose way, way, way up in the air.

The Lesbian Peach Explosion. Nah, sounds more like a funk band to me...

I'd go see them play, if only to see Ryan and TMK in those funky spacewalker platform shoes ;-)))

I love the "I withdrawl my patronage." Much more classy that a good cuss out like I tend to find myself in the middle of.

Can't wait to see you at tomorrow at Safeco Field! I must warn you all in advance. I'll be working on a pair of the BRIGHTEST lime green socks ever to be seen. Blinding.

Withdrawing patronage is way more dignified than the simmering I do with retorts thought of 3 days after the fact. I was avoiding the K store as a statement and then Bonne Marie showed that way cool bookcase that I can't live without. Now I have an excuse for going back. They really need to know I'm withdrawing my patronage or the statement is just pathetic.

I've exploded egg all over my walls (and ceiling) before when I put them on to boil and forgot about them. They were pretty tricky to clean up. Do you know if 409 works on the peaches and lesbians or will hot soapy water suffice? It is good to know these things ahead of time.

Actually, no, Laurie, you have to use a special product called LesboBeGone which, of course, is only sold in the most exclusive stores.

I'm glad to hear that there are some peaches left. The Betty Crocker cookbook (blue spiral bound, methinks) has a phenominal peach crisp recipe & it gets elevated to orgasmic if you use fresh peaches. I'll fish it out & email it to you. That will be worth little pieces of peach & lesbian. Oh, yeah.

1.There is absolutely no way I can type what I was thinking about the peaches. My mother would be ashamed.
2. I cannot believe my visit is worth a mention. I'm honoured and so excited that I'm almost typing lewd peach things for your entertainment.
3. I was forced to Withdraw My Patronage from a certain home renovation supply place (A) which happens to be across the street from another home renovation supply place (B). For the 6 years since I was compelled to do so, I have very significantly added insult to injury in the following manner.
Every time I need something I make a full list. On my way to the store B, I stop at spurned store A. I enter, ask to speak with the manager, wait patiently for him to come from the bowels of the lumber or screw department..then neatly present him with the list of what I am NOT BUYING at his store.
Then I go to store B and purchase my items.

It helps keep the hate alive.

I am so glad Stephanie did not type her lewd peach remarks. I might have had to withdraw my patronage from this blog.

I didn't really *think* TMK had any control over that remembering thing, but I had to TRY, dontcha know? I've tried whingeing over at Harlot's place, too, to no avail. Here's my theory, and this is what I was referring to: I think if you guys' blogs eminate from Macs, which yours and Steph's do, the comments will not remember us PCers. Just a theory. Coz really, it's just yours and hers that do it, and I know you both use Macs. Highly scientific, I know, but.....

And don't be scaring me with that frickin' Safari mumbo-jumbo, neither. Coz I don't know what you're talking about....except I've heard Stephanie use the same damn word.

And yes, *loudddd sigggghhhhhh* I did plug in the computer and YES I did, about 5,1777.99999 times, check "REMEMBER THE FRICKIN' INFO."

Think I better go have some motherwort tea, or maybe something stronger. I feel some wykked sperytis coming on. (translation: bitchiness)

I CRACKED up about Lisa's "don't touch it," comment!!!!!!

Thanks, ya'll. Now this monk will never, EVER get the phrase "Lesbian Peach Explosion" out of his head. The Allman Brothers had the album "Eat A Peach", and The Presidents of the Untied States of America had some stupid song about peaches, but neither comes close to imagining the 70's glam set for the LPE.

Having known Ryan's mother, tho, that part made me laugh the loudest. She was the worst Anglophile, probably crying herself to sleep most nights over the fact that she wasn't actually born on that Fair Isle. Imagining her "withdrawing her patronage" in a feigned, haughty huff is so funny.

BTW, Ryan and TMK driving to a trailer park and sleeping on an air mattress under a comforter whilst digesting food prepared for them, and the dishes cleaned up after them, by one of their mothers : camping :: SafeCo Field : any properly evocative name for a site where alpha males clash in contests of athletic prowess.

First and foremost: Sue is sitting here cackling and snorting hysterically about lesbians and peaches. The comments only made it worse. Frankly I'm worried that she will break into a fit of giggle every 5 minutes for the next few days. Her best response to all this? "'little pieces of peach and lesbian' would be a great yarn color dontcha think?"

My response of course is to remind you that if you are a card carrying lesbian (and I am not, but I know several *hint hint* who are) you should know of the lesbian short film with lucy lawless in it called "peach." THEN the sentence takes on a WHOLE new meaning.

Oh. My. God. I'm crying, I've got a stitch in my side AND I'm late to the peach party! I've got this delirious mental image of TMK pounding out a bass line in her garden hat. Of course the hat is pulled way down low like the pictures of late. And she's wearing one of her old sparkly choral performance blouses. And Ryan's got them sparkly blue nails back. Ahem.

(Though, I must confess that I truly detest peaches. I know, I'm sick and wrong. I also detest bananas.)

Oh yeah, and it's a skosh funnier, methinks, if it's "LesBeGone". Although why me's thinking about this is a little hard to fathom. But it reminds me of an idea I had some time ago for a similarly-themed talk show called "LesbiHonest". But, you know...ahem...I rarely think about such things. Ooh, look at the time! Off to Mongol Khel (see blog for explanation).

You are going to kill me. Lesbian Peach Explosion?? Ohh, my side...

There is also a now-defunct all-women band, "Swamp Mama Johnson" (which at least one of which were lesbian as I recall and with a huge lezzie following at any rate) with an album entitled "Peachfish stew".

I am dying, absolutely DYING to hear Harlot's naughty peach comments....

Well Ryan, since I've had to withdraw my patronage from those exclusive-type stores, if you and TMK ever come to visit I'll have to feed you out on the back deck. I make a killer blackberry cobbler that could tempt one to eat until they explode in bits.

I truly will never look at a peach the same again.

You're too funny. I laughed out loud a few times reading this, but my favorite chuckle is thinking about being 'a fly on the wall' watching you guys bicycle...
