Ed and Hank

Not really a Valentine's Day post...

(But the following did take place on Valentine's Day between 6 p.m. and midnight.)

Note: It may have been Valentine's Day, but Hank had God and country on his mind. (Ed not so much.)  And, yes, Hank is still supposed to be on a break...

Disclaimer: Hank told their story to Annie Proulx. Jack and Ennis

Don't think I've ever commented before on your story - and it wasn't because I didn't enjoy it. Just that I don't comment a whole lot, because of too little time and too much to do. But I absolutely MUST speak up with a big old "Bravo" for all of this. Love the whole take on the narrow-minded concerns of the superreligious - the ones who see only the evils of sex, love, and "perversion" and turn a blind eye to all the real wrongs of our ailing society.

Thanks for a big laugh and lots of thought provoking conversation.

Glad you're enjoying Ed and Hank. And yeah, them bible-thumpers really drive Hank crazy sometimes. (Of course, according to Ed, Hank's already half-way there so they've got a pretty good head start.)

big fun

[ellenlj]

and love the tender lover revealed whenever an upset Hank melts the veneer of grumpy Ed

and greasy and sweet and stomach-turning - why, I've made the same pie!

LOL! My condolences for having made the same pie. Ugh.

And yeah, Hank knows he's pretty damn lucky to have Ed there for him, he let's Hank rant and rave when he needs to, (like you all do too), but knows how to... uh... distract... him too. (Or to paraphrase the Dixie Chicks, Ed knows how to keep the world at bay for Hank.)

Note to self... don't read Ed and Hank while babysitting. I got a whole lot of "What you laughing at Gramma?" and "Can I read it too?" and "Well, can you read it to me?" and "If it's funny why can't kids read it?". I had to cause a mysterious laptop crash and then sneak back in to comment.

LOL! Always happy to make you laugh!

Maybe Hank should write a completely G-rated children's version? Although I think a lot might be lost in the translation. And Hank knows absolutely nothing about kids.

Amen to all of the above.
Poor Hank seems to be a bit down and I can't blame him he is
absolutely right. Sweet Ed got him good and tied up and got him good. I said that already. I guess Ed made Hank forget the ugliness of the world for a little while, well not the world exactly just some of the mean minded inhabitant's in it.
Its a great day for me when ever you all show up.
Thanks and you have a great weekend.
Hugs

Thanks, Torry. (Loved the "Amen".) And, yeah, the world wears on Hank sometimes, but Ed definitely knows how to help Hank forget about it for a while (and work those frustrations out at the same time. :) ) Hope you have a great weekend too!

I love it when they talk about politics.
I love it when they talk about food.
I love it when they whatnot.
I love things like "Idea is ta get her ta trust us, Hank... Not drive her 'way."
And maybe I'm just hungry, but the pie doesn't look so bad.
No worse than some Sumerian stuff I know.
Which by the way may perhaps instil some real fear of God (one or more of them, Sumerians had plenty in store) into those bible-thumpers.
I'll better stop here now and go back to laughing my head off.
Thank you for not-posting again!

"zuuuuuuuuuul"

[not_hathor]

Don't generally see that kinda behavior from a major appliance.... yep, those Sumerian and Mesopotamian deities were real big inta' 'smitin'....

Re: "zuuuuuuuuuul"

[myeyesaintblue]

Who ya gonna call?!?

(Mazaher, in case you haven't seen the movie, the answer is: Ghostbusters! P.S. and the major appliance was a possessed refrigerator.)

Re: "zuuuuuuuuuul"

[mazaher]

"Ghostbusters" as in "When they ask you whether you're a god, *say yes*"? =)
BTW, talking of refrigerators: did you ever realize they are the practical proof that nothing is faster than light? (Try opening the door *before* the bulb lights on...)
