Worst. Birthday present. Ever.

[Harrumph]

My lesbian friend gave me the video 'Journeys With George' for my birthday. She did it before we went to dinner. I lost my appetite!

I was totally dumbstruck when I unwrapped my present and saw what it was. Then she started to laugh and I realized is was a gag gift. Gag is right. Those crazy lesbos!

1. It's not really a pro-Bush movie

directed by Nancy Pelosi's daughter.

[Harrumph]

11. You're right....

written and directed by Alexandra Pelosi...who knew?

:smoke:

[I Clenis]

16. I am pro-bush

Not that idiot in the White House, though.

2. You can always "re-gift"

The gift that keeps on giving!

:party:

Happy Birthday!

[Harrumph]

6. After I quit laughing....

she said "this is for you....to poop on." And I did, so I don't think it will be good for a 're-gift' now.

Thanks for the B-day greeting.

3. Be sure to check back in, okay?

I bet we all wanna know where you and George journey to... not to mention whether or not it's as good for you as it is for him. :evilgrin:

Okay, I go away now....

5. Excuse me, but I had the WORST birthday present ever.

Was dating this guy (back in the 70's) and he was real nice but not into the artsy fartsy stuff that I was (theatre, the ballet, all that shit). So he gets me a sculptured bust, thinking it was "art." Unfortunately, it was a bust Of SATAN. (or Pan, or some god with horns, whatever, freaked me out.) That, plus the butt crack showing when he bent over was enough to persuade moi that this was not the man of my dreams.

Yes, I was one snotty bitch. (Still am, but I'm a lot nicer 'bout it now. Okay, okay, so maybe just quieter about it, now. Don't push me, 'kay?)

9. You should have stuck the horns....

in his butt crack. That would have taught him to be more artsy or some such shit.

7. My dad once got my mom a bicycle pump for her birthday.

Not a good birthday present...

[Harrumph]

10. Reminds me of my brother....

buying his wife breast implants for HIS birthday.

14. Wrong on so many levels.

But very funny. Did she get them?

13. A friend of mine wanted sapphire earrings...

...but her husband gave her a wheelbarrow. I had to laugh when she showed me his "gift".

[Donkeyboy75]

15. Seriously, what is wrong with some guys?

They give the rest of us a bad name. ;)

[FleshCartoon]

19. Got me.

I guess, since she was a gardner, it seemed practical to him.

Sometimes practical is wonderful, but a few sapphires now and again wouldn't hurt either. It would make the practical gifts much more appreciated.

8. real lesbians are just folks

fashion followers are just dumb dorks.

12. Not a bad film, and maybe she intended for it to be tongue-in-cheek?

The film provides excellent, up-close analysis into the Bush campaign... you have to dig for it a little, but clever folk spot the insights right away, of course. :D

I especially love the part where they show the "home-made" rally signs being mass-produced. You know the ones... they appear as a child's scrawl, with words like "Kids 4 Bush" with a cutesy-backwards "s," and what-not. Fake. Phony. Mass-produced by non-union labor.

Once you overcome your nausea and watch the film, play close attention to the British cat from the Financial Times. He's quite brilliant, sarcastic, and the best character in the film.

17. A friend's husband gave her a shotgun for Christmas..

:)and he lived to tell the tale..

18. An Irish wedding ring from my best friend

We are both girls and I didn't know that it was an Irish Wedding ring until a friend of mine from Ireland came over to the States a year after she gave it to me and he asked me If I had gotten married.
I said no and he asked me why I was wearing a wedding ring. I kind of died of embarrassment at that moment and I felt a bit flattered and pissed off at the same time.

20. A portrait baby rag doll

with an ugly picture of my face. Downright creepy and how does one dispose of it? It's not like you could sell it at a garage sale and scraping your face of seems too weird!

21. That's what I refer to as a "Re-Wrap"

To be given again another day.

22. My college roommate got a rake from his sister

Admittedly, it was a fully functioning rake, no missing prongs or whatever they're called.

The sister was about 27 years old, still living at home, and wanted their big, tree-covered backyard sculpted whenever little brother came home on the weekends.
