U of I shenanighans
On Friday, Liz (lj: mightyliz) and i took a much needed break from teaching our troublemakers and made our way downstate with her boyfriend Dave and Big A, the male Naumann.
The boys bonded in the front with off-key singing to every song ever written by System of a Down, and the conversation Liz and i had in the back went something like this:
Liz: Dave read an article about how the incidence of female bi-curiosity is increasing. Do you think that'll happen to males, too?
Nik: It's happening with females?
Liz: Well, you know, Nik, you've just been really slow to come around. I mean, I've been trying, and you're on the top of the list, but.....there IS a list.
Nik: ::sad clown face with drooping flower::
Liz and i did go closer this weekend:
On Sunday:
Liz: Can i borrow your deodorant?
Nik: Yeah. You could've borrowed it yesterday, too.
Liz: I did.
We patronized Dos Dos (Dos Reales: Part Duex!) and then hung at the Spruce Moose, but the best was yet to come: The Great Pumpkin Fest in Morton, Illinois. With pumpkins and halloween as its main concern, it seems to have been the town i should've been born in. After riding the tilt-a-whirl ("Left! No, right! Quick! Hurry up, damn you!") and the zipper (my very favorite carnival rides!), i feasted on pumpkin chili (yum), pumpkin baked beans (eh), pumpkin ice cream (holy crap yum), and a fried twinkie. That's right. My first fried twinkie.
"Why did you decide to fry twinkies?"
"Because we can!!!"
After our feast and a LONG time to digest it, we waited in line for the Zipper for the second time, only to discover that other people hadn't waited as long for their food to digest.
Nik: You might not want to stand so close. I think a quarter just flew out of one of those cages.
Paul: Huh. That would be vomit.
On the way back, Liz, Paul, and I squished in the back of Liz's compact Chevy and were serenaded by Dave's burps and Andy's quick wit:
Liz, about my hair: I love how you have two spheres. Your head and your hair in a bun.
Andy: It's like the moon orbiting the earth.
Liz: Actually, it's nothing like that.
Nik: It's like if the earth had a goiter.
Andy: Yes. And when the earth gets one, we're counting on you!
Stay tuned for nik v. goiter. Next on livejournal.
