overheard

written by Jana October 25, 2005

Last night:

“I have a student who’s really cute. He’s not doing well in the class, but he tries really hard.”

“Should I be worried that you think your students are cute?”

“He’s not that kind of cute. He’s like wookie-cute.”

“Wookie-cute? [insert really pathetic imitation of Chewbacca that sounds like a howler monkey w/hemorhhoids]

“No, No, No. Not wookie cute, _ewok_ cute. Like a teddy bear.”

“Oh. Yah. Big difference.”

As one who was involved in this conversation (specifically as the One Who Sounds Sometimes Like a Howler Monkey With Hemmaroids) this dialgoue seems sanitized compared to the original. Jana omits:

1) the fact that the participants were naked,
2) the greater context of this conversation (it was part of the pre-sex pillow talk),
3) there was much hard laughter, including multiple snorts from both parties, and
4) there were further comments about Jana’s aversion to hairy backs.

Shoot, we both spelled hemorrhoids, wrong. But it’s fun to say, and you don’t get to say it much.

Unless you are an MD with a colon-rectal specialization. (Would that be a colonary emphasis?)

Way. Too. Much. Info. Quit bragging about your sex lives.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
