Sitting on the front porch

watching the sun set on a glorious Friday evening here on the farm listening to the frogs in the neighbor's pond and the incredibly loud little tree frog that has perched himself over our front door I'm only a little bit regretting that I didn't venture downtown for They Might Be Giants at the Lebowskifest because I would have missed this concert here in the front yard and don't know how long we'll live out here or how long I can stand that long drive into work on winter mornings and then drive back in the dark on winter nights but now that dog days of summer are beckoning I like it just fine as I am a bit in the minority but do like steamy hot days where you can sit out side and feel that definite moment shortly after the sun drops over the horizon and the cool air that's been waiting high above suddenly seeps down and breaks that heat just right when you know it will happen and it does and that's what happened while sitting on the front porch tonight.

 :D What a stunning little picture.  

It's a cool evening over here.  I've holed myself off to my room to do music stuff all night, but just went outside for a smoke and a bourbon, and it's gorgeous out.  Almost chilly (ie I'm not reshowering myself with my own sweat), the neighbours are having a chat on their own deck, and the wind chimes were going for a bit.

(Yes, I would like to tell you to please see Team America, because you will shit your pants.  :))

Sort of funny story-

I'm a relatively conservative guy, so, even though I'll admit that Team America was extremely hilarious, it was also waaaaaay over the top, and they could've definitely toned it down. That said, probably the first week that I was getting to know the lovely girl who would later become my girlfriend, we all went out to Chili's and my friend and I wanted to go see Team America. She was there and wanted to come along, and I didn't have the foresight to tell her not to. So we're in the movie theatre and watching this absurdly violent intro, and then "America! Fuck yeah! Here they come to save the motherfuckin day, yeah!" We laugh about it now, but that was probably one of the strangest situations I've been in. Luckily, she had to leave early, but not before the giant "cocks, pussies, and assholes" analogy. That and the puking. And the five minutes puppet sex scene.

AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  That movie is SO funny.  Holy shit.  

I was singing "America, Fuck Yeah!" to Jen in the grocery store the other day and we almost fell on the floor.

Well, at least she didn't think poorly of you, Conservative Eisey.  :)  


tomEisenbraun

I would agree.

That said, I wanted to bust out some "America!!!! Fuck yeah!!!" for a long time after that movie. It was frustrating, cuz you really can't do it that loudly, and definitely not in school.

Teachers =  :o

my favorite part of that song is right after they say "America, Fuck Yeah!" when they sing "kiss my ass and suck on my balls".
The melody and delivery is funny and shit.

Me too.  This may make me sound like I'm from another planet, but Team America must be a movie I just never heard of before this thread?

My paean to the graceful evening on my front porch sounds like it might have depicted a scene in this movie. For sure.

Team America is a movie by the guys who make Southpark, and it's made with puppets.  Unless your time outside involved watching puppets poo on each other, it probably doesn't depict ANYTHING from that movie.  It's about "Team America", the team who saves the world from themselves.  And about puppet sex.

And I think it got railroaded by my provocative signature line.

However, it shouldn't take away from how great it can be to sit outside on an evening and enjoy being in that situation.  :)

Just poking fun at the obvious contrast in the diversion from my thread.

I'm really bad about taking threads off topic.  But sometimes it is fun to see where they go when they get hijacked.  Not that I ever want to be hijacked.

Can't say that I have any porn with puppets, but hmmm?

Sorry, anyway, yes I loved the evening on the porch. I learned how to tune a rattle via the crickets, so I can appreciate a good concert where the croakers sing to you. Nature is the greatest artist, bar none.

Now, about those puppets...nevermind, I'm gonna go and rent the movie. Just unsure if I sould go to Blockbuster or my local adult video store.

Speaking of porches, I'm about to go out on mine.  It's very late so it will be very quiet.  There's some bourbon left from Kentucky, and I have a lot to think about.  And I can hear the wind chimes from here.

Can't hear it, but can see it. Dudette, I feel your groove.
Do you ever get messages from the chimes? Just curious.

Front porches have a way of creating soulchubbies.  Seriously everyone should have a front porch--as long it doesn't face a highway or a Burger King.

TREMENDOUS use of the new word, moose.  A+.  :)

Back decks are fairly sweet, too, when they face into a little section of backyards - especially when you've got nice neighbours, and the nearest building is far away, but happens to be a pretty building where everybody's apartment is a different colour, and there're morning glories winding all over the place.

jonathan, that's weird that you said that.  Yes, but I think I'm weird here enough so perhaps I won't go into too much detail.  (Or anyhow, at least it sometimes feels like that.)

Yo, thanks for the A+ EC.  Decks rock too.
