alrescate: (Dork)

I'm perfectly happy knowing I'm one of the biggest dorks of all time. Today I had to go to the post office for work. When I got to the window there was a *Can't-Tell-You* sitting there. I keep looking at it because it automatically made me think of *CTY*. The postal clerk saw me looking and asked if I needed some stress relief as she handed it to me. "Just squeeze it." Oh my word. It was perfect! "Where did you find this?" I asked the lady with some delight in my voice. She got it in Tulsa but it was from a chain store we have here in town. At lunch I ran out and went looking for one. I found THREE!!! They weren't too expensive either. Whoo-hooo! So now I get to send one to *CTY* and keep one for myself. I plan to mail it as soon as I figure out what to mail it out in.


Am I a big dork or what? I got this same sense of elation after finding [profile] dawni's Sharpies too.

Awww sweetie, no need to explain. Everyone knows that "Dorks" is just Skrod spelled backwards. It's a phase. You'll grow out of it. You have such a pretty face.

But I must admit, I am curious as to what you squeezed in the post office that made a postal employee smile. But your story did give me some relief about your dorkiness...

...you see you said you found THREE and you are keeping one and mailing one. Now a TOTAL dork would know what's missing fromm that equation... you didn't eat one did you ?

I wondered if anyone would notice about that third one. *grin* That one will be in the mail soon too. I know at least three people, perhaps four who would get a kick out of this item. I might have to keep my eyes open to see if they restock it. I can't wait to see what *can't-say-who* says when they get it!

Oh, do you really think I'll grow out of my dorkiness? It seem like I've been waiting to grow out of it for a very long time....

You're far more mysterious than dorky - what is a CTY?

Sorry...I was using shorthand for "Can't-Tell-You." I was just being lazy!

Don't listen to Bill! You never grow out of dorkness, your merely evolve into a geek.

yep, and then you can stand proudly at my side as we bite the heads off of live chickens for a crowd of on lookers.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wildflowers...

Sorry. Heard the unofficial dork theme song and couldn't resist joining in. (And WTF is a CTY?)

I cut down trees. I eat my lunch. I go to the lavatory. On Wednesdays I go shoppin' and have buttered scones for tea.

*grin* Glad someone else recognized the unofficial theme song.

Oh, and CTY was lazy shorthand for "Can't-Tell-You."
