Pegleg Starfish

As you may know, T’s Mom and Pop were here in Houston visiting.  Just to re-cap here’s a little run down of the past week.  I’ve obviously been kinda busy; which is why I haven’t posted in 87 days!  I’d like to do an official public apology to the millions of PLSF readers out there.  I can call it a public apology and it will all be better right?  Like Micheal Richards (Cramer).  He gave a public apology and everyone forgot what a dbag he was. 

OK, the starting point is the party, we’ll go from there: 

Surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary Party (in Michigan):  Saturday, 14th.  It was announced that they would be leaving for H-Town for a surprise trip!  We like surprises!   

His parents arrived in Houston on Monday, 16th.

Parents left for Galveston, TX on Tuesday to stay at the San Luis Resort.  They had their room till Thursday morning.   

T and I drove down to Galveston on Thursday night and we all stayed at a nearby hotel/condo place.  The San Luis was booked for that weekend or we would have stayed there.  We had lots of fun, ate lots of food, collected lots of shells on the beach, took a couple tours, just did fun-touristy stuff. 

Saturday morning we all headed back to H-Town.  It was nice to be back at ‘home’ and just chill for a bit.  T’s Mom and I drove to a indoor mall.  I would call it a Mexican mall, but that might not be right.  OK, it was a Mexican mall.  All the sellers were Mexican.  T’s Mom was interested in purchasing some knock-off purses.  And don’t tell me about how horrible it is to support knock-offs.  Saturday evening we went to the Houston Improv.  T and I had never been there before, but it turned out to be a really fun time!  The comedian, Ian Bagg, was hilarious! 

Sunday morning his parents flew back to Michigan. 

Whew….

It was a busy week/weekend, that’s fo sho!  But lots of fun.  So much fun that I didn’t have time to blog.  But, I was able to get some good blog material considering I spent a lot of time with his father.  His ridiculous, annoying, loud-mouthed, vulgar, father. 

The particular story that I’m going to share with you all today features T’s Daddy-O.  It wasn’t really anything that his Dad did, but he is definitely the main character of the story.  Ready???

Thursday night we went to a restaurant (in Galveston) called Luigi’s.  It was pretty good.  The restaurant was a cute, little Italian place with brick and fake grapes everywhere.  After we were done eating, I wanted to have our waiter take a picture of all of us in this pretty archway in the restaurant.  Of course, everyone was all like “No…how embarrassing!”  But I talked them into it.   Our waiter was a nice young guy who I thought would be A. Smart enough to know how to use my digital camera and B. willing to take our picture.  I suppose any waiter would take a picture for his customers to boost his tip.  Anyways…he took two pictures. 

Here’s the first one:

It’s a little far away, but hey-we’re all in the picture. 

Since he was such a nice waiter, he decided to take another one just in case we didn’t like the first one.  Or someone had their eyes closed or something. 

Here’s picture dos:

Not too shabby.

After the waiter took our picture, he was all like “Here, let’s see how they turned out.”  And thanks to the digital camera we could do just that.  Thank you baby Jesus for the digital camera.  And the cell phone. 

We (including our waiter) all gathered around the tiny screen of my digital camera as I flipped the switch to viewing mode.  The first picture popped up.  “That looks pretty good,” I said.  I then pressed the button that I thought would take us to the second picture that he had so graciously taken for us.  Somehow I went backwards to the very first picture that was on my cameras memory card.  It was a simple mis-push of button.  Instead of going to the next group pic, I flipped to a picture that T’s Mom had taken of her lucious husband way back on Tuesday morning.  Normally that wouldn’t be a big deal, but when a picture like this pops up it’s a BIG deal.  Both literally and figuratively! 

*Note the following picture includes some nudity.  And by nudity-I mean the “Eww!” kind.  Not the ”Oh la la” kind. 

Avert your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I sincerely apologize to all of you.  But this was such a hilarious moment that I almost peed my pants.  Not because the picture of T’s Daddy-o is funny.  It’s not funny at all!  But because of the fact that our innocent, unsuspecting waiter was peering down onto the tiny LCD screen of my digital camera when this image popped up.  We were all expecting to see the cute, group picture but were greeted with an almost naked man. 

The waiter was immediately embarrassed and made his way far from where we were.  We immediately started laughing.  His Dad was laughing, but I don’t think that it was the same laughing as I was doing.  I think it was more of a “Did that just happen?  I’m really embarrassed!” type of laughing. 

T’s Daddy-O:  I apologize for exposing you to our innocent waiter.  And now the entire Universe!  You knew I couldn’t let something like that go without putting it on my blog.  :) 

It was just too funny.  I had to share. 

And I’m just going to throw this question out to any Male’s who may be reading this blog…Is it really easier to sleep if you have your hand in your pants and/or underwear?
