Freaks Take a Holiday

Wow…I am stupefied.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and we are going to be having three days of good weather.

I cannot remember the last time that has happened in Bagwine, Ohio.

It’s exciting, and also more than a bit disturbing.

There will be far too many Bagwine freaks emerging from the shadows to participate in the weekend wackiness.

I can envision the west end hookers standing on the corners, showing off parts of their bodies that should be forever hidden.

I can smell the noxious aroma of the meth labs wafting through the gentle late May breeze.

I can hear the police sirens splitting the serenity of the spring sky as officers respond to yet another Old Milwaukee induced domestic violence call.

And those are things that are happening along the parade route!!

Oh well, today is my only day off during this long weekend, so it really doesn’t affect me that much.

I will spend this morning with Ryno, and then head back here to the Bagwine digs.

Schmoop, her brother, and I will pound copious amounts of fermented beverages, and get incredibly shit-faced.

And then later, hopefully, Schmoop and I will check out the bedroom, and I will get incredibly pie-faced…if ya know what I mean. Wink, wink.

That’s what I will be up to. I hope you will have a much better holiday weekend than I.

And now, our Bagwine Ruminations Comment of the Week



We need to travel all the way back to last Sunday’s video post to find this week’s COW.

Last Sunday, I took you on a short road trip between the Bagwine digs and where my son lives.

Part of the journey led us through fast food row. Every major fast food chain was represented.

Roger, of Idaho Daily Photo, was particularly taken by one of the restaurants that he saw, and commented:

“That McDonald’s looks familiar.”

Ha. As a fan, of simple, minimalist humor, I laughed out loud when I read that.

So here’s to Roger for ropin’ this week’s COW. Please stop by and congratulate the crazy bastard by clicking HERE.


Enjoy your Saturday everyone, and wish me luck on my search for pie.

Cheers!!

Hahahahaha that would be the comment that wrangles me a cow! Thank you I am honored to receive the coveted C.O.W. award! Enjoy the suds this weekend Matt & Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Roger: I don't why, that just struck me as funny. I actually laughed out loud. Congrats, and have a good one. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

Maybe I AM glad it's raining here.. AND that I have to work??

Cheesy said...

Oh and ^5 rog!

Leighann said...

I hope your pie turns out to be fermented too!

(sorry Schmoop, but I had to jinx him somehow for the blasted clown picture!!)

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: I have mixed emotions. It's great to have good weather, but the side effects are really annoying. Cheers Lovely One!!

Schmoop said...

Leighann: Your cruelty knows no bounds. Cheers Leighann!!

Lex Valentine said...

Congrats to Roger for ropin' the COW!

The clowns don't bother me at all. The hookers in the bad parts of SoCal have more makeup on.

Hope you gets lots of pie this weekend!

Schmoop said...

Winter: Thanks!! The only make-up our hookers wear are black eyes, and track marks. Cheers Winter!!

I should take more care when opening a Bagwine post. It's like a freaking box of chocolates - you never know whatcha gonna get: Cheney, clowns, Rosie. All of the freakin' Brazil nuts of the box. Shit, I tell ya, just the shit.

I'm sorry you won't be able to enjoy more of the glorious weather, Matty dear. Here it will be back up to triple digits by Tuesday, but I'll be on my way to the beach - HA!

Congrats to Roger. Gem of a comment. Truly insightful.

Schmoop said...

Songbird: I like to keep 'em guessin'. Oh well, I'll still make it a good time.

It was gem. I am sure that you will have a beach blast bingo, dear. Cheers!!

Dianne said...

Roger's comment made me laugh out loud right now. It's hard to be hilarious out of context but Roger did it.

Congrats Roger!

Have a great day off matt-man and may the universe deem you worthy of pie.

Travis Cody said...

I'm glad you're having good weather, but did it have to be clowns?

I guess I should be grateful that it wasn't a picture of spiders.

**shiver**

Schmoop said...

Dianne: Ha. Thank you very much for your pie hopes. Have an utterly fan-damn-tas-tic weekend Dianne. Cheers!!

Travis: I don't mind spiders too much, but I hate bugs with dozens of legs. Eeeek. Cheers!!

Well, we know where I'll be spending my time! I have a stack of five dollar bills and I'm ready to party with the high class ladies. ;-)

Schmoop said...

Kat: Thanks. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and if I get pie, I will of course post about it. Much to her ghagrin. Cheers Kat!!

Jay: A stack? Hell, one five dollar bill will get you plenty of action 'round here. Cheers Jay!!

j said...

Congratulations to Roger. He is one of my favs!

Your weekend sounds like fun... I have laundry to do and a family reunion to attend.

Be blessed (that's as close to good luck with the pie as I can go...)

Jen :^D

Lu' said...

We did yard work, lots of it. Man it was great weather for it. Then we went shopping for alternative trasportation, scooters or a motorcycle, for me. He has one.

Unknown said...

Wow! That’s a lot of freaks for a two-clown town.

Jo said...

I remember Roger's comment, so deadpan, I love it--congrats!

When the hood of that clowncar opens up & all the midge-clownies hop out...run, Matt, run.

Enjoy your pie! And remember...it's not a postage stamp.

cherry, apple or french silk pie??

The Ferryman said...

You know, I am soooo tired of people bashing Wesr End Hookers. Why should East End Hookers get all the love?

Acrimony said...

" Schmoop and I will check out the bedroom, and I will get incredibly pie-faced…if ya know what I mean."

You mean Schmoop is going to dress up like a clown? Clown Role-playing? She'll put her pie in your face and then you'll squirt her with one of those joke flowers? ...if you know what I mean. Kinky. ;)

Meth, hookers, and Mickey D's. Good times, man, good times.
