TRUE ???? TOO

Darlene had a
big blowout birthday party, and I think she must have friends from all over,
cause Rendon don't have that many people. She said there were 800 people, but
I'm pretty sure there were 801 people there. Luma took the blame/credit for
dropping the birthday cake on the floor, but she gave Darlene a choice of
Chocolate Cheese Cake, Oatmeal Cheesecake, Strawberry Cheesecake, or Cheese
Cheesecake as a replacement.(Something about a 2 for 1 sale on cheese). I guess
Darlene don't like cheesecake cause she said she'd rather scrape the original
up off the floor. The cake tasted fine and wasn't in the slightest gritty.
There was music, and Chester ( who says he doesn't have any rythm) danced with
most of the women there, some of whom agreed that he don't have any rythm.
Tammy was absent
from the festivities, and her excuse was that she would have had to perform her
famous "ladder" dance, and she was afraid someone would look up her
dress while she was on the ladder, and even though I told her she could be starkers
underneath the dress, and as long as she didn't forget to wear her "Lone
Ranger" mask, nobody would know who was on the ladder. Of course if she
danced often enough that folks could remember her steps, she might have to
switch to a Zorro mask to keep her identity secret.
When last we
spoke, I related an "egg tossing" event that took place a t Bella
Vita. I know that some of you are really skeptic, but the egg toss actually did
happen. Here is the rest of that story.
After breaking
the egg I tossed to/at her, Tammy came out of the kitchen, holding yet another
egg in her hand. She stopped at the end of my table, and said: "Was it
Burt or Jim who threw the egg at me?" I was going to "man up"
and admit that Jim did it, but when I raised my hand for permission to speak,
Tammy took that as an admission of guilt, took one step forward, and brought
that egg down, forcefully, on the top of my head. I was expecting to feel goo
running down my neck into my shirt collar, and down my face into my mustache. I
stayed remarkably dry, and gingerly began feeling the top of my head. At that
point. something bounced off my nose and landed in my coffee. I fished it out
with my fork, and it was a piece of mushroom. Further exploration into my hair
revealed Onion, olives, sausage, bell pepper, jalepenas, cheese, Sunflower
seeds, almonds, peanuts, grapes, and a partridge in a pear tree. This was all
fresh stuff, just like Luma serves from the kitchen. Turns out that Tammy,
meticulously cut a small hole in an egg, drained out the egg, washed the shell
out with a scrub brush, rinsed it out twice, dried it thoroughly, then finished
up.
As I was paying
up at the register, I noticed the LAST item on my check, and the notation:
1 EGG-SHELL
omelette-NO CHARGE.
