Guess who's coming to town tomorrow? And guess who's gotten a ticket that he couldn't get rid of because of the security involved, making the tickets non-transferable? And guess who's starting a mids shift tomorrow night, but has to be at the photo op location at 11am, even though the visitor won't be there until 2?
Surprise pity party at mrtl's tonight! Shhhhh!!!

So are you going to tell us the answers to all those questions? Or can I safely assume that it's "you" for all of them? Except the first one. Are Mr. and Mrs. Slumpy going to AK tomorrow?

Dima - Mr. and Mrs. Slumpy? If you're referring to the Arbustos, that is correct, but it's mister mrtl who will be attending the festivities with his tired-ass self.

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your site -- read it every single day!! Keep up the good work. HUGS!

Arbustos? Is that what you guys call them up there? I was referring to what Jon Stewart (Daily Show) calls Bush sometimes, because he doesn't sit upright at meetings. Last week he called him Slumpy. He did look like a kid whose mom would say to him: "sit up boy!"

Jorge Arbusto, the literal Spanish translation of George Bush.
I am going to skip out because a 22-hour day is not what I'm after, ya heard?

Jena - Welcome, and thanks! ::smooches::
Dima - Slumpy is good, too!
T A-S - Word.
Posted by: mrtl | 2005.11.13 at 10:09 PM
Jorge Arbusto is great too!
Note to self: I should've known that since it's Arbuste in French.
Posted by: Dima | 2005.11.13 at 11:56 PM
Dima - Four years of French, and I didn't know that. ugh

I wrote my kissy story! And I am curious as to how many people will independently come up with the same title ;)
Posted by: Susie | 2005.11.14 at 07:35 AM
Susie - Yay! I didn't look before posting mine. We'll see what your title is. :)

Is the night shift after the visit because I bet he could get out of that particular midnight shift if he egged the Arbustos. Just a thought.

Seth wants to know if the 4-hour window is for the cavity search.
Posted by: Daphne | 2005.11.15 at 12:18 PM
(make that "the 3-hour window") (and of course first thing we heard on the radio this morning was Bush quoting democrats.)
Posted by: Daphne | 2005.11.15 at 12:22 PM
Bush can't even read the speeches written for him, how can he quote those who use adult words?
Posted by: Dima | 2005.11.15 at 12:44 PM
Kranki - Just a thought.
Daphne - Probably. Search and bussing people over to the location.
Dima - Am I the only one, or does Bush remind you a lot of Dan Quayle?
Posted by: mrtl | 2005.11.15 at 04:56 PM
Dan Quayle is Einstein compared to Bush!
Posted by: Dima | 2005.11.15 at 05:22 PM
Dima - Good point.
Posted by: mrtl | 2005.11.16 at 01:26 AM
Oh so the EXACT location is super secret right up until the event? excellent. (i'm kidding. really.)
Posted by: Daphne | 2005.11.16 at 05:40 PM
Daphne - Never too much protection for our dearly beloved president.
