Days Of Wine And Biscuits

Yesterday I talked to a dear old friend. Her voice took me back to those halcyon days of High School…

Those days of my dazzling portrayal of Ali Hakim in Oklahoma!, awkward teenage sex, and bottles of Boone's Farm.

In order to protect the identity of my friend, I will drop the “N” from the front of her name, and just refer to her as, “Ancy”.

In addition to school, Ancy and I shared many an hour working together in that bastion of haute cuisine, known as Hardee’s.

Cool things always happened there.


Fryers catching on fire…My friend Alan losing his eyebrows while trying to light the grill…stock room sex.

Two of my fondest memories include my friend Ancy. Opening up with her on the weekends was always a hoot.

Ancy was in charge of making the biscuits due to the fact that she was only slightly taller than the prep table.

Watching her make these biscuits was disturbing. She kneaded the dough in a hail of flailing arms…

Captive inside a haze of flying milk and flour, she gyrated to the Muzak, contorting like a diminutive whirling dervish.

When it was done, there she stood. Her entire body covered in lukewarm dough, and two inches of a flour based glue.

Ancy looked like a Paper Mache project gone horribly wrong. But by God, we had biscuits.

I also have a very vivid memory of a couple of us picking up Ancy and stuffing her into the commercial ice maker.

We got the entire upper half of her body into it.

The distinct “chinking” sound of freshly made ice bouncing off of her forehead is with me still.

I feel sorry for Ancy too.

It seems any woman I went with in the past, wanted to kick her ass because they thought we were having sex.

I don’t think Ancy and I have ever kissed, let alone shagged. And, how could one want to hurt her anyway?

She is five foot nothing and adorable, like a Troll Doll only much cuter, having blonde hair, and sporting actual boobies.

Go Figure. Some people just don’t realize that members of the opposite sex can be just friends.

If I come across ol’ Ancy, I’ll get her picture so you can “meet” yet another friend of Matt-Man.

Speaking of pictures, tomorrow is Half Nekkid Thursday, and I will be putting out for you.

In addition, since tomorrow is Schmoop’s Birthday and because Dana has shamed her into it, Schmoop will post one as well.

Until HNT,

Cheers!!

Wow...I am in shock...you actually didn't do the "nasty" with Ancy! That must have taken some real dicipline for you...what a gentlemen you were.

Thank You for stopping by my blog. Much differnt than yours...lol...hope you enjoyed your visit.

Smiles,
Kimmie

Lu' said...

Amen to the opposite sex being able to be just friends. If that weren't the case I know I'd have gone less places or my hubby would have had to drag his ass with me to those places. HHNTE :) Don't you think the diminutive stature is hot. I think short guys are hot when not sporting the ugly short guy complex. Ah, I like short, average or tall. First time I saw my ex-boss I thought now there is a tall drink of water, mmm mmm mmm.

Unknown said...

Yeah, I am so sure 'Ancy loves being compared to a troll doll. Us short women always do you know. I bet you and I would have made great pals....you reminded me of many pals from my high school days, but did you have to remind me of The Boone's Farm wine?

Liz Hill said...

I think men and women can be friends without 'doing' each other. That doesn't mean the thought might not cross one's mind every now and then. I just think that some folks recognize that friendship is a pretty fucking cool thing in and of itself.

Schmoop said...

Kimmie: All blogs being different is what makes it fun. Nope, no Nasty with Nancy. Cheers Kimmie!!

Lu: Well sure they can be friends. And yes, Short Man Syndrome is not good. I on the hand, am Six Foot of Incredible Animal Mattnetism. Cheers!!

Ken said...

It's great that just a voice on the phone can bring you back to good memories. I recently had one of those calls.
This August, on the 8th we'll be having a giant bash of high school friends from 38 years ago. We all have pretty much stayed in touch and the laughter hasn't diminished at all. 08-08-08
In case your wondering, yes we had a big bash on 08-08-88.
Good friends lift the soul!

Schmoop said...

Mama: I put her in an Ice Machine; I think we can survive the troll comment. Raise your glass of Boone's Farm, and here's to what could have been our H.S. friendship. Cheers!!

TB: I agree. And I have never thought of doing Ancy on top of the biscuit table. No really...I mean...Um...Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Micky: They lift the soul indeed Mick. I have my 25th HS reunion coming up this summer. I may even go. Cheers!!

Ken said...

As a tidbit..I talked to Lulita this last year for the first time in about 25 years.
Raising the soul!

Deb said...

Ohhhhhh, poor Ancy. LOL! This cracked me up! The "chinking" sound of the ice! haha!!!!

I remember when I was 13 yrs old (without working papers), I worked in a Chinese take out restaurant with another friend who was 14 going on 21. She and another Chinese man used to have stockroom sex - no words because of the language barrier, but weird grunting sounds being heard as the woks were a'stirrin'.

Disturbing to say the least.

Anyway, not only was it statutory and could have gotten him a long-term ticket into a bathhouse full of jail mates, but it was just the fact of how they communicated of consensual sex when neither one of them understood one another.

Ah. The language of love!

*sigh*

I'm going back to Lesbianville now.

Cheers Matt-Man!




P.S. Remember Red Dog? Sutters Mill? They came in twist off caps and little bottles? ha! Like if I was more distinguished now...it's Carlo & Rossi these days... high class ova' here! ;)

Lu' said...

If you enjoyed the HS gig and the people, then you should go. My hubby didn't go to his 30th basically 'casue he looks NOTHING like he did in HS and didn't want to hear about it. He hasn't been to any. He always regrets it later. Especially when he hears of the good time they all had. HS for me, no thanks, hardly there.

The Ferryman said...

You didn't have the awkward teenage sex WITH the bottles of Boone's Farm, did you?

RW said...

Boones Farm what wonderful hangover I have had from that! Rates right up there with Thunder Bird! Aw that brings back good memories.

Schmoop said...

Deb: "weird grunting sounds being heard as the woks were a'stirrin'."

That in itself is classic. Ha. Hey if the wine has a cork it's not for me. Lesbianville...Can I get directions? Cheers!!

Lu: I had a damn good time in HS. So I will probably go. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Fab: No. But I did bang Ernest Gallo's daughter once. Cheers!!

Roger: All of those wines are merely Wild Irish Rose wannabes. Cheers!!

Phfrankie Bondo said...

"But by God, we had bisquits" LOL!...and I, too, have taken the wobbly hay ride to Boone's Farm...mostly, I'd like to find the bastard that invented heathen elixer and smack him a good one with Heather Mills' leg......

Cheesy said...

Memories....like the corners of my mind...

ohhh a dark place~ ***shudder***

Enemy of the Republic said...

Hey I hear you are running for President. So is my cat, Muffin. But if you send me the code that Cathy has on her blog, I will put it up--let's get a grass movement going. Can Muffin serve in your cabinet?

Schmoop said...

Phfrankie: Ha...There is nothing I can add to that. Cheers!!

Cheesy: I'd love to meet you in a dark place. Purrrrr. Cheers!!

Enemy: Thanks for stopping by. I will get the code for you and send it your way. And Muffin is more than welcome to be part of my administration.

Who doesn't like a good Muffin? Cheers!!

Raven said...

Poor Ancy...I can understand how she ended up like that. I worked at McD's as a kid and only once was I asked to make batter for the pancakes...it was bad. Another time I had the shake machine blow a gasket on me. Fast food jobs are designed to take the heart out of a person.

Desert Songbird said...

It took me so long to get to the end of the comments, I forgot what it was I was going to say.

Whatever.

Dana said...

*giggle* I guess I'm a bit of a whirling dervish myself for being such a "good" influence on Schmoop! Shame is a wonderful tool!

Schmoop said...

Raven: Ahhh. Tha blown Shake Machine, I've seen that happen. It was fun back then. Cheers!!

Songbird: Do what I do...Don't read them. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Ha...Shame is a wonderful tool. And let me tell you Dana, I've been very bad. Shame Me. Cheers!!

Leighann said...

I'll think of nothing today except for what tomorrows HNT may bring!

Schmoop said...

Leighann: If that's the one thing that will fill your mind today, I pity you Leighann. Cheers!!

Marmelade said...

Ancy seems like a nice sensitive girl.

You're a heartbreaker!

Lex Valentine said...

It's nice when you hit your 40s and realize you still have a few friends from HS around. I talk to my ex-BF from HS all the time. He has a blog even. Of course, he's gay now...

Jay said...

Can I have Ancy's phone number. I have a thing for short girls.

Knight said...

Eww Boone's Farm? Couldn't you find some moonshine or something? Eh, who am I kidding. I made myself sick off a bottle of butterscotch schnapps in high school.
Poor troll. You would think Hardee's could invest in a step ladder or something to help her out.

Schmoop said...

Maramalade: Not at all. The only thing I broke of Ancy's was a thin layer of the skin on her forehead. Cheers!!

Winter: How long after dating you did he "become" gay? Cheers!!

Jay: I'll pass that along. I'll tell her that you're a big NASCAR fan, she is into that. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Knight: Ha...Step Ladder? It would have so clashed with our spiffy, brown polyester uniforms. Schnapp's can be a little thick and heavy. Cheers!!

Odat said...

"paper mache project gone horribly wrong..." struck my funny bone!!!

Of course men and women can be friends....(just never call me short or a troll or you wouldn't be! ;-)

Peace

Schmoop said...

Odat: I wouldn't do that. I used troll doll because to say, "she looks like she just fell off of a charm bracelet" was used in an episode of M*A*S*H*. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

You are a better man than I, Gunga Matt. Most of my male friends I have dated at one time or another. Not that I have many friends IRL as is or I should say that I see. Pretty much my bestest friend Hope and Gay Dave and Susie Q.

Gay Dave counts as platonic, obviously:P I have plenty of male friends online though.

When I was in high school, however, the vast majority of my friends were guys and they were platonic, minus a bit of good natured flirting of course.

But I have to hold true to the When Harry Met Sally maxim that sex will always factor in somehow :P

Jeff B said...

Shmoop is doing HNT again, whahoo!!!

Sorry, was there something else in this post?

Schmoop said...

Starr: As Ancy and I are friends, we could never have sex. That would require her to see me naked.

I have one firm rule in my life: Friends Don't Let Friends See Matt-Man Nekkid. Cheers!!

Jeff: I better not find out that you spent tomorrow licking your computer screen. Cheers!!

Ginormous Boobs said...

Oh how I miss Hardees!

Schmoop said...

GB: I do too. We only have one left in town, but it's not really near us. Mmmmmmmm Mushroom Burgers. Cheers!!

Sandee said...

Well, this posts just makes me want to go to Hardee's for some grub. With all the nastyness going on in the kitchen I'm just so hungry. Bwahahahaha. See you tomorrow. Have a great day. :)

Schmoop said...

Sandee: Make sure not to order the Sausage Gravy. Trust me, I know of what I speak. Cheers!!

leelee said...

I love my guy friends...they are easier to be friends with then some women..plus they are way more fun to HUG!!

Happy Pre-birthday to Schmoop..

Schmoop said...

Leelee: I have to differ with you for once. Women are MUCH more fun to hug. Cheers!!

leelee said...

well since I am a woman..and you are a man...it would work either way! see we DO see eye to eye..I told you we must have gone to different high schools together!

HUGS!!

Mo and The Purries said...

Damn, now I'm craving me some Hardees...

I went to my friend Bessie's family Easter dinner this past weekend. She told me yesterday, "You realize they all think you're my boyfriend, right?"
So now I'm a red-neck boyfriend.
Not "I have a red-neck boyfriend" NO - I AM a red-neck boyfriend.
Bring on the baked beans and deviled eggs, I done got me a woman now!
(and yes, I think hell just froze over...)

Unknown said...

Ah! The memories of lost youth! Ain’t they grand!

Schmoop said...

Lee: "we must have gone to different high schools together!",

That explains why you stood me up on Prom Night. Cheers!!

Mo: You Have a Woman Now!!? Damn It, just when I was gonna have you come down so my kid could take you to his Christian School for Show and Tell. Bummer. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Nick: For the most part, but there are a few I'd much rather be able to forget. Cheers!!

The Teamster said...

ohhhh...cheap wine and cheap beer...we had "lucky lauger" beer..11 ounce bottles with a riddle in each cap.....we'd drink about a hundred of them while camping and never get a hangover...

back to earlier note....on the left coast there is a method of determining porn name...if your a man...it's the name of your first dog plus the name of the first street you lived on.....for a woman...the name of your first cat and the street name..

the teamsters porn name is...."Inky Avery"....

and yes...only go to 70....

leelee said...

We never had a cat...so I have to go with the guys formula..therefore I'd be Kerrie Yale...I like it!

Matt- I sat looking out the window all night looking and waiting for you...finally the mystery is explained..I can move on now..

Schmoop said...

Teamster: I guess that would make me Dino Limestone. And the name, Inky, rocks. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Leelee: It's nice to know the reasons, but the pain still lingers. Cheers!!

leelee said...

Matt...the important thing is..we've found each other again!

Schmoop said...

Leelee: Ha. True!! Cheers!!

Marilyn said...

LOL I never noticed the "kid friendly" warning. Thanks for thinking of us parental types.

I remember Boones Farm quite fondly. Only three dollars to drunken debauchery. Those were the days...

If it wasn't Nancy then who were you having stock room sex with?

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: Ha. It's all about the cheeeldren Marilyn.

If you were reading me back in August, you have met my Stock Room Siren. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

I just realized your post title is a play off the movie Days of Wine and Roses. From which my name came. Nice of mommy to name me after a drunk :P

Do you have a pantry? Get Schmoop in there for some stock room at home action!

Schmoop said...

Starr: I always try to write a pithy title. As far as the movie name, it could've been worse. She could have named you, Klute.

No pantry, we'll have to settle for the kitchen floor. Cheers!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

How did you control yourself from not having sex with Ancy? Flour, warm dough...biscuits...they are all aphrodisiacs dude.

Cinnamon Girl said...

Holy Hanoi, not Klute!

Oh and wax that floor before you tap that ass. Otherwise someone is gonna lose some skin. I speech from experience.

*flinches in memory*

Schmoop said...

Bond: I must have been avoiding Carbs at the time. Cheers!!

Starr: Thanks for the tip. I think the last time we did it there we were both too intoxicated to feel the linoleum burn. Cheers!!

Tug said...

OMG I haven't had Hardee's in forEVER. Or Boone's Farm...or a troll doll. I'd like them all NOW please, thankssomuch.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, the sun will come out tomorrow - it's only a DAAAAAAAAY AWAAAAAAAAY.

*ahem*

Ed & Jeanne said...

Ancy...that is hillarious. You should work for the witness protection program in assigning names.

Schmoop said...

Tug: All good stuff indeed. A hint about tomorrow...Think "Don Ho". Cheers!!

VE: A little known fact VE. Jimmy Hoffa was in the WPP for two days prior to his murder and I was the one who had come up with his new identity...James Offa.

The mob found him anyway. Cheers!!

Tug said...

So if you're telling me to don a Ho, does that mean we all get lei'd here tomorrow?

Schmoop said...

Tug: Bada Bing. I'm gonna be your Poi Boi. Cheers!!

Anndi said...

This is why I never worked in a restaurant...

Schmoop said...

Anndi: Oh c'mon...It was actually pretty damn fun. Cheers!!

Tequila Mockingbird said...

OMFG!!!! BOONES FAAAAAAARM! i have so many memories of that stuff. like i remember falling down in a ditch when i was like 17 off that stuff and my cousin dragging me out and then making me buy him new shoes because his got all muddy.

Schmoop said...

Tequila: I think Boone's Farm or something close to it, is the Drink of Passage for every teen who chooses to imbibe. Cheers!!

Tiggerlane said...

SEVENTY freakin' comments? You are going to win the presidential nomination, for sure!

Wow, I don't pop by for a while, and you become a celebrity!

(I have fond memories of Boone's, too, btw...)

leelee said...

I'm gonna be your Poi Boi.

...I can't even take it

Schmoop said...

Tigger: Well that's okay, and thanks for stopping by. I haven't been 'round your pad for awhile either. I mustn't let that happen. Cheers Tigger!!

Schmoop said...

Leelee: Ha. Why do I laugh every time you post. I even have a classic comeback for you should you post on Schmoop's HNT post tomorrow. You are killing ME. Cheers!!

Tug said...

That's OK Leelee, I'LL take it. ;-)

Schmoop said...

Tug: Now remember, poi is eaten with either two or three fingers, so just be careful where you put them. Especially if you use three fingers. Cheers!!

Tug said...

I'm a poi virgin - you'll be my first!

Schmoop said...

Tug: Don't let the Hawaiian Volcano Gods know. You'll be the next sacrifice. Cheers!!

Tug said...

Seriously, I live in Hell. How bad can the inside of a volcano BE? And with a God...and Jimmy Buffet singing his song...maybe a boat drink - we ARE in Hawaii after all, right?

Mimi Lenox said...

Breezin' through to say hello......H.E.L.L.O!

Dana said...

I'll *shame* you tomorrow when you post that HNT!

Schmoop said...

Tug: True Enough. We never do know where we'll go when the volcano blows. Cheers!!

Mimi: H.I. M.I.M.I. Cheers!!

Dana: Oooo baby. I can' wait. Cheers!!

leelee said...

Well I'll be postin' fer shur on Schoomps blog tomorrow...

and Matt I have no idea why you laugh when YOU are the funny one..

;-)

leelee said...

Tug you scamp...you can take it. I don't know why I can't..

um..what did I just say? :-\

Schmoop said...

Leelee: You giving up so easily on me, hurt me so. Cheers!!

leelee said...

It's all part of my master plan Matt ~wink wink~

I've never had Boone's Farm (or Lucky Lager beer for that matter...)

but I do have this rather erotic image of you and schmoop takin' each others HNT photos....

Schmoop said...

Leelee: You devious vixen, you. Cheers!!

Kat: Ha...I laugh out loud at your comment and then I get the same damn erotic vision in my head as well. Thanks!! Cheers Kat!!

Jahooni said...

even though you didn't shag her in the past doesn't mean you can't shag her now!
counting down until tomorrow ;)~

Schmoop said...

Jahooni: I guess I could, but that would involve two things...

Ancy would have to be on drugs fo rthat to happen, and secondly, if I did, Schmoop would put her tiny, yet strong foot upon my arse and direct me towards the curb. Cheers!!

Travis Cody said...

That reminds me of my glory days making pizza at Domino's. We refused to wear aprons and after 4-5 solid hours on a Friday night, we were covered in flour and grease.

Tug said...

YAY, I have made it to SCAMP. I can now enjoy life. ;-)

Schmoop said...

Travis: You fast food rebel you. Cheers!!

Tug: Ain't life grand? Cheers!!

Real Live Lesbian said...

Great! Now I want Ancy and Biscuits! ;)

Put it out, Baby!

Trukindog said...

You reminded me of when I was 16 and working as a bus boy. There was this 32 year old HOT waitress, 5 foot 2 RED hair and a huge rack. We were great friends and had lots of fun but no matter how hard I tried she wouldn't cheat on her hubby. Damn It!

Lisa Ryan said...

when I saw your cute 'lil troll pic I thought maybe you posted your HNT picture early!
I will be back tomorrow....

Jahooni said...

Jahooni said...

Jahooni said...

jillie said...

OMG....Boone's Farm. Now that brings back so REALLY scary memories as well as T.J. Swan...LOL!

Ok that picture below is really freaking me out Matt! LOL

Schmoop said...

Real: Yum. You, Ancy, and Biscuits. I'd enjoy watching that breakfast. Cheers!!

Trukin: See how you are? Whore!! Cheers!!
