    …to her surprise she recognized a face from the past. It was her ninth grade teacher handing her the wallet that had fallen from her purse. She didn’t talk much about her high school days because…

  2. Heather Says:

    she knew that there were things best left unsaid because

  3. Kate Says:

    “she” was a “he” back then.

  4. Cindy Beall Says:

    run for their lives.

  6. Tymm Says:

    But since she wasn’t fond of any of the Bee Gee’s 3-part harmonies - she didn’t care if they ran - and she couldn’t help staring at old Mrs. Johnson who now looked like…

  7. lori Says:

  11. juliepersinger Says:

    She wondered if, in her current condition, old Mrs. Johnson would remember that…

  12. lori Says:

    she once fell asleep in the girls bathroom, which of course meant that

  13. ramsey72 Says:

    She woke up with the impression of the toilet seat on her face even though she swore she was sitting down

  14. juliepersinger Says:

    but since old Mrs. Johnson had seemed completely unaware of what students did back in the day, it was a safe assumption that…

  15. ramsey72 Says:

    she had forgotten all about Karaoke night at the Holiday Inn when

  16. Kristiapplesauce Says:

    all the teachers got busted along with most of the staff at the holiday in for

  17. mandythompson Says:

  22. bransblahg Says:

    But it did have some good barley and hops. :shock:

  23. ramsey72 Says:

    which made them puke all over

  24. tam Says:

  31. tam Says:

    “what’s that smell?”

  32. juliepersinger Says:

    She looked down and for a brief, horrifying moment, thought she saw a tentacle on her…

  33. Selena Says:

    monkey

  34. lori Says:

    but it was just

  35. lovewillbringustogether Says:

    a ‘filament’ of her imagination.

    From out of nowhere…..

  36. juliepersinger Says:

    Barry Gibb walked in and she said…

  37. Selena Says:

    ” I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THAT MONKEY ALONE!”

  38. lori Says:

    then all of a sudden they broke out in 3 part harmony, singing

  39. tam Says:

    “Monkey Love - Monkey Love - Won’t you let me be! Beee-eeee-eeee!”

  40. ramsey72 Says:

    Then Simon Cowell walked in and said….

  45. tam Says:

    We shall call it ” The Gibbs Evolution Hour”

  46. Kelly Says:

    and you shall all wear swim suits that show your toity marks because…

  47. bransblahg Says:

    Tam likes to stare at toity marked tooshies

  48. Kelly Says:

    which leads us back to old Mrs. Johnson…..

  49. Kate Says:

    who is extremely familiar with toity marks.

  50. Kate Says:

    But so is someone else besides Mrs. Johnson and Tam…

  51. Heidi Says:

    suspense is killing me who is it?

  52. givemejesus Says:

    the infamous photographer Hoity Toity who has published a coffee table book of famous toity marks and whose next book will be a collection of…..

  53. Kelly Says:

    photographs of fingers that have letters permanantly ingrained onto them from their keyboards because they were all addicted to blogging. This will also include B.A. therapy, which consists of

  54. bransblahg Says:

    making you go outdoors for long walks and engaging in conversation with people in the flesh! :shock:

  55. bransblahg Says:

    OH THE HORROR!!!!!!

  56. Selena Says:

    Ouch! Deadgum sunlight!

  57. juliepersinger Says:

    Meanwhile, Barry G., whose closet blogging addiction was at its zenith, tried to scuttle out of the room but was stopped by the monkey who said…

  58. ramsey72 Says:

    I think I have Saturday Night Fever and need to boogie down with John Travolta at the disco

  59. lori Says:

    to which Barry G. replied

  60. lori Says:

    “You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em…”

  61. tam Says:

    (I’m astonished at how much sense this story is making!! I LOVE it!!!)

  62. tam Says:

    “Know when to walk away and know when to”…..

    RUN!!!! Here’s comes a monkey in a bikini wanting to wax me!!!

  63. ramsey72 Says:

    But the monkey ran smack into Mrs. Johnson and decided

  64. HW Says:

    wax her instead.

  65. Elaine Says:

    The monkey gave her the choice..where shall I wax?

  66. Heather Says:

    Mrs. Johnson replied “Please wax my unsightly chest hair before Barry G. see’s it!”

  67. Selena Says:

    “What the! That was NOT my chest!!!!”

  68. Heidi Says:

    That’s my bum!!!

  69. HW Says:

  70. juliepersinger Says:

    Like a flash, one of Mrs. Johnson’s tentacles whipped around the monkey’s…

  71. Selena Says:

    medulla oblongata

  72. tam Says:

    trapped in the tentacles Barry Gibb then decided to

  73. givemejesus Says:

    and throttled the poor monkey until he resembled

  74. givemejesus Says:

    ooops….

    throttle the poor monkey until he resembled

  75. juliepersinger Says:

    a limp noodle, which reminded Barry that he…

  76. tam Says:

    he forgot to eat his chow mein at lunch!

  77. Heather Says:

    Barry was completely bummed out that he forgot to eat his chow mein and started singing in a note that only far away dogs could hear.

  78. tam Says:

    (hahahahahaha!!!!)

  79. blessed1 Says:

    Sadly enough those dogs…

  80. tam Says:

    are being held captive by the Monkey and Mr. Johnson!

  81. Kate Says:

  93. ramsey72 Says:

    and gave a whole new meaning to “kissing cousins”

  94. tam Says:

    a hairy chested monkey with tentacles coming out

  102. bransblahg Says:

  104. Becca Says:

    Of course, his psychologist (oddly named Doctor Foot) new about this all along. You see…

  105. ramsey72 Says:

    He had been diagnosed with Attention Seeker Syndrome better known as A.S.S.

  106. lori Says:

    but he never let that stop him from

  107. ramsey72 Says:

    Feeling pretty fly for a white guy

  108. lori Says:

    even though he had no idea how to do that being a white guy and all

  109. Indian Lake Papa Says:

    Suffering from A.S.S. they decided thy needed to get to the bottom of it

  110. tam Says:

    so at the “crack” of dawn they…

  111. Indian Lake Papa Says:

    lets get that problem behind him they shouted

  112. ramsey72 Says:

    and they began the hairy undertaking

  113. tam Says:

    [[ let's all go here http://gritandglory.com/2008/05/05/puppy-love/#comment-4344 for a little bit and help Alece beat her husband in the comment was so she can win and get her a new puppy!!!]]

    [but please come back here too! You all have been awesome today! This is a Hysterical Story!]

  114. Indian Lake Papa Says:

    working cheek to cheek to get the task done

  115. tam Says:

    they worked into the wee hours only to find that

  116. blessed1 Says:

    They named their first puppy ‘cheeky spotty’ in result of this (flash forward)

  117. tam Says:

    (huh?) :lol:

  118. TheNorEaster Says:

    strange phenomenon going on over at “Grit & Glory.” So then Tam said,

  119. blessed1 Says:

    Never mind — I’m so tired and losing it. The puppy thing was throwing me off!

  120. tam Says:

    ( i am officially confused now - and laughing hysterically!! is it just me???)

  121. TheNorEaster Says:

    But at least Alece gets her puppy! So maybe that is worth getting thrown off!” So TheNorEaster said,

  122. tam Says:

    he is very sorry for mutilating Tams Family Tree and he will do anything to make up for it. So Tam decided that…

  123. HW Says:

    she would make him a fluffernutter sandwich

  124. tam Says:

    (wait HE is suppose to be making up with ME. why am I making HIM a sandwich????)

  125. HW Says:

    ( :lol: )

  126. tam Says:

    evil.

    evilevilevil!

  127. Kelly Says:

    she would make him a fluffernutter sandwich, but would dangle it on a string out in front of him while he does a silly “I’m sorry dance” and begs for his sandwich…..and Tam, being how she is tells him…

  128. Kelly Says:

    THIS will do bad things to your insides, and you will be in the bathroom MUCh longer than you would like, because

  129. tam Says:

    i have mixed chocolate exlax in this pretty lil sandwich. That’s right! How ya feelin now Massacre Man!?

  130. lori Says:

    He sank to his knees in total submission

  131. Kelly Says:

    and with that, TheNorEaster grabs his pen and paper, and settles in for a long haul in the potty room, working on his new essay titled “an ax, fluff, and a bloggers nightmare” Which of course the nightmare being stuck in a bathroom unable to blog. Oh the horror! In the meantime, Tam sneaks back over to

  132. tam Says:

    [OH how I love genuinely love you all!!! you brighten my heart and day every day! I am off to watch a movie with my family. Have fun!!! And Let the Nor really have it :D ]

  133. Kelly Says:

    watch a movie with her family, who occasionally likes to see her in person as opposed to in blog world! Have a good night all!

  134. alece Says:

    NE ended up having “the dia” for 15.9 days straight, until finally he…

  135. Robin Says:

    decided he didn’t have a prayer without

  136. TheNorEaster Says:

    his wonderful dog, Sam. Whom he rode off with into the sunset to escape further punishment from Tam and Her Blog-Gang.

    And they all lived happily ever after! ;)

  137. tam Says:

    ***THE END***

    shewww…………..

  138. cathi stegall Says:

    [good glory, girlfriend...this was nothing short of amazing - suspense, romance, and the god forbid demise of blogging...the best stinkin 3 am read for sure!!!]

  139. TheNorEaster Says:

    ***THE END***

    Until Sniper Tam pegged NorEaster in the back of the head with a cream pie from 500 yards. He fell off his horse and did not get up again. So Tam took Sam home with her and THEN they all lived happily ever after! ;)
