You've got to be kidding right? I don't know how I feel about this result.

A nice reader sent a clarification for the fucking frogs picture yesterday. Turns out they're toads. And there's no penile involvement either. Apparently, the smaller male rubs some part of the female to excite her into releasing her eggs, then he lets fly with the sperm all over them in the water.

I ordered some gifts for our cabin for the cruise. AND we got upgraded two levels for our balcony guarantee reservation. Woo hoo! Instead of sneaking the booze on like the last two times, I figured I'd just send some beer and wine to the cabin along with a fruit and cheese basket and pay for it before we go. We are so excited about this upcoming trip we could spit. We could hack phlegm even. I'm trying not to think about all the crap that MUST GET DONE before we leave because that makes me feel panicky. Butohmygodthere'salottodo, breathe, look forward to vacation. That's better.

The inlaws came by the other night and we seized the opportunity, since we had two witnesses, to write up a mini-will in our own writing. When we were doing it, I was going to write "bequeath" but then I settled on the more colloquial "want all my stuff to go to". Whatever, it's just to tide us over until we really do it. In case we're run over by a bus or something.

I love the moments before a trip. They are chaotic, but it's so exciting. The gift baskets sounds like a great idea.

I knew the frogs and toads have no penile insertion but didn't want t burst your bubble. Haha.
I'm not sure I would enjoy a cruise. I would get sea sickness. I don't like sitting in the sun. I get red enough from just mowing the lawn. I can't swim.
all of your stuff may go to spouse but bequeath your enduring love to Serge.
I know the Bible 100%. Yes, they served the Lord and not Turkey. Ed

I always suspected that you were a closet "thumper". LOL!

Java said...

So when is the trip? Are you beginning you panic too early, or is it just about right?

I thought I wouldn't like a cruise, either, but I was wrong. I didn't get seasick, and that helped a lot. I stayed out of the sun and never went swimming. There was a lot of other stuff to do. And I had a marvelous time having other people take care of me. That's a big theme with me right now...

I got 64% not bad for a lapsed Catholic!
Fucking toads?! I could handle it if they were frogs but toads? That's vile!

I am very excited for you! I think I'll take the boys on a Rosie cruise next year.

I am totally embarrassed about this, but I got 90% on that bible quiz. I blame my catholic childhood indoctrination ... but, I am shocked that I remember so much!

Patricia said...

I got 88% and yes, the competitive part of me wants to take it again but I won't.

When do you leave? So we can start preparing ourselves, ya know. Hey wait, I bet I can guess. It'll be in the middle of a cycle for me. Seems you're often on vacation when I'm waiting for news.

I think maybe you should take even more vacations :)

Good move on the Will; but you didn't need witnesses. In Quebec, a holograph Will (one completely in your own handwriting) can be signed only by you, and is equal to a Will in the English Form (commonly called a lawyer's Will) which can be typed, but must be witnessed by two persons.
In either case, if that is your only Will at your death, it will have to be probated.
To be kind to the survivor, get a Will done by a notary (which does not have to be probated).

You left the Chalet Suisse coupons to me in your will. Right?

Birdie said...

100%. But if I didn't get that score, my boss would have something to say.

Those toads don't know what they're missing.

Instead of hacking phlegm in your excitement, eat oysters. Same thing, in my humble opinion.

Now I'm all nervous about your upcoming trip, because it might mean we won't be hearing from you. They have internet, right?

GayProf said...

I would rather not know how much I know about the bible.

Instead of smuggling liquor, couldn't you just sneak me onto the cruise with you?

dpaste said...

Duh, I should have remember the bit about the eggs and the sperm. I am an embarrassment to grade school biology.

I got 95%, which is pretty damn good considering as a Jew I've only a passing familiarity with the New Testament. And there was a lot of it on this test.

I have to do up a will with Keyron too. Not that we've got a hell of a lot to worry about but it would put to an end any bullshit on the part of my father.

That said, I learned when I drafted my business contract that the use of and/or clauses is quite significant in legal circles.

Phronk said...

Oh, so toads mate similar to how porn movies lead me to believe that humans do.

Doug said...

It wouldn't let me take the test. It said, "We know you don't know crap about this, so why bother?" And no, Dr. Seuss wasn't involved.

lol @ Phronk! I was thinking along those lines, too. Sick, sick people, we are.

95% and no worries; it's more what percentage someone twists the context and meaning that disturbs me.

In the more important topics... I'm very envious of you two and covet that trip you're about to embark upon. I'll have to look for a an opportunity to take an excursion upon the seas myself sometime.

Aweee ya lucky, a cruise....sheeesh, no rest for the fortunate...*winks* I wont wish you a wonderful time I already know it's a sure thing!!...hehe
A will prior to a cruise? Do they have buses on big boats?

A Lewis said...

Hallelujah! You're the first person who has scored less than me on the Bible quiz....I had 88%. And I was a good church-going boy for many years. And now I know why I gave up female-male sexual relations....it's that "let the sperm fly" thing that did it for me.

David said...

Well, while I'm not sure about the questions, I did get 64%.

Some where way to easy, but I guess while I no longer go to church, I've retained some of what those penguins tried to instill in me when I was a kid.

Butch said...

I got 74% on that Bible knowledge test. Not bad for an heathen.;-)

Your cruise sounds wonderful. We've never gone on one but, who knows, if you have a great time we might change our minds. ;-)
Have a wonderful holiday.

Greg said...

Are you kidding me? "Hootie" was one of the four choices for "swallowed by a great fish?"!! Oh, lordy, I got an 87, and an embarrasingly gushy assessment. Fun quiz...anyone else find themselves running through lyrics from JCS, Godspell and Joseph and the Amazing...Dreamcoat to find sort the answers?

Not to contribute to the stress, but when is the Bon Voyage date? Great idea with the gift baskets. I hope you sent some chocolates, too. (No corndogs, though.)

Lyvvie said...

54% from the damned Atheist. Nothing is more snore-worthy than memorizing a book.

Does this mean you are going to take over saying those Rosarys that I promised my blog readers I would say? Please?
