My Legit Emails Sometimes Devolve into Something Less-Than Legit



I have a couple of awesome friends who indulge me in some of the most random email exchanges. Here is an email exchange from yesterday. It’s just a sample of all the awesome fun you could be part of if we were friends and you emailed me at work.

Hi lady!

Glad you survived the coke bottle incident. Or at least [someone] at [someplace] said it was a well-wrapped coke bottle.

[This bit is redacted because it was a boring albeit legit business question.]

Thanks

[This bit is also redacted because it is the answer to boring albeit legit business question.]

I think that my favorite part of the whole thing was that they blocked the street off, and brought in the bomb squad, but didn't think that it was necessary to let us know what was going on, or to clear the building. It was hilarious to watch though. At one point the guy was standing next to the bomb robot, but ducked behind the tree. Hell, I could do that.

If I were the bomb squad boss, I would just make sure that me and everyone else was a safe distance away, detonate the bomb, and slowly stroll away from the fiery explosion. You can be on my bomb squad and we will take turns video-ing each other strolling away. I'm guessing we'd be fired after the second explosion, but at least we'd have two good shots of us strolling away from an explosion for our buddy-action movie. (We will make a low-budget buddy-action movie in this alternate reality, also.)

Threat Level Midnight? Only if it's slow-mo and Back in Black is playing. That would be so awesome. But yeah I think that we wouldn't last that long. But can you imagine our photo stream on facebook? So worth it.

So worth it!

I think we should call our buddy-action movie "Super-Duper: No You Won't Know What You Get"

You know, I don't think we'd have the budget for AC/DC. My husband's friend's brother has a metal band, I think. They could do a metal cover of your daughter's Super Duper song. It'll be the Back in Black for a new generation.

The sequel should be Super Duper II: There's Throw Up in My Pull-up ($$$ for product placement!) The third is called Super Duper III: And You Never Diiiiie

Holy cow, I'd almost forgotten about the Super-Duper song. Maybe we can get a couple spiderman and superman costumes, so we can have two spidermans, and two supermans. Ahhh the throw up in my pull up. Now it's just called "The Diarrhea." As in I have The Diarrhea. Hey, that's a good name for a punk band.
