Tonight I had a phone call from a friend... she told me that he uncle had just died. An insane-gay-artist-uncle... And my friend's very "southern proper" mother went over there to clean out the guys apartment. Apparently, her mom was the last to know about the insane and gay part of her brother... and is handling the situation with much drama.
hehehehe - I just can't stop LMAO about this scenario as she told it... I know her Mother. She is one of those old conservative Southern women with really BIG red hair (that long ago ceased to be naturally red) who will never come to your house without bringing a nice potato salad. I just can't stop laughing thinking of her in this situation... discovering "magazines" on the nightstand and running out shrieking in horror! Her poor husband holding a cold compress to her forehead and offering her some lemonade while she mutters verses from the book of Revelations... I am not nice for finding the situation hilarious, but then neither is my friend.
My friend also said that he was apparently a compulsive buyer of small electric kitchen appliances... many many boxes of new appliances never even opened... and that if I perhaps would like to have a George Foreman grill, or a rice cooker, or a mixer, or a egg scrambler-cooker or practically anything ever sold by Ron-Co... that I should speak up now.... Still can't stop laughing. Hope you enjoy the story.
