We ♥ Charlie

(photo kidnapped from fanpop)

My entire family is mildly obsessed with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (with the exception of my father, of course. Marines don't laugh.). Back in, I guess, late 2007/early 2008, I stopped over my parents' to find my mother watching the show. My mother is a nice Irish Catholic Girl from Hallahan, so the fact that she was watching Sunny was nothing short of astonishing. Apparently the rough and tough Jersey girls from her office were talking about the series and how incredibly hilarious it is and Mama Rose decided to see for herself. I walked in at the end of The Gang Finds a Dead Guy from season one and saw Charlie eating a bowl of Cocoa Puffs (what else could it be?) and wearing a Nazi officer's cap. I was instantly intrigued. This year all three of my brothers finally got around to checking it out and we are all equally in love with Charlie. The other night I showed Melissa the ep Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender chiefly for the scene in the Range Rover when Charlie screams like a little girl. Here are the texts sent between myself, Melissa, Xavier and Mum:

Melissa: I keep thinking of that scream all day, I keep randomly laughing out loud. ☺
then later: Honestly, can't stop laughing about charlie.

Xavier: Dude, Bosses was so good. charlie Day is awesome!!!

Star to Xavier: whenever charlie screams an angel gets its wings. of this i am certain.

Star to Mum: did you see Horrible Bosses w/barb??

Mum: Yes it was funny. I loved the 3 guys, especially Charlie.

End of the Rope

Text from my brother Dave as he sat in Atlanta's airport:

I am sitting on the plane at the terminal, stuck for about 30 miinutes. We are still supposed to be in Philly at 3 am. A wee babe cries for his poppa just over my shoulder. Sweet, sincere and FUCKING ANNOYING. oh, and another wee babe begins to echo the first babes cries like they are communicating in some horrible chalkboard scratching like language. Truly a symphony.

I read it to Fr. Michael and rather than laugh, he said with wide eyes and a serious tone, "Is he a writer? He has a wonderful way with words. Very impressive."

Observation

A few weeks back, I was at work, so I left my house key in the mailslot for Amy to break in and relax until I got home. I left a Sweet Eats cupcake in the fridge and a stack of DVDs on the coffee table. She chose The Hangover because she had never seen it and had heard so much about it. At hour 7 at my job, Amy sent me a text:

Bradley cooper is not believable as a family man in hangover .

Anyone who has seen the film cannot disagree with that statement. But we all know that Coop was there for his pretty face and gorgeous bod. Well done on both counts, Bradley.

J.Lo

Conversation btwn Fr. Michael, his BF and Michael's BF's BFF:

E to his BFF: "Brigit, I think Jennifer Lopez is a-mazing."
Michael: "Actually, I would agree that she is a uniquely talented individual."
E (in a state of shock): "Reallllly???"
Michael: "Yes. She possesses the uncanny ability to function simultaneously as a god-awful actress, while singing off key and 'performing' as a talentless ghetto street-dancer all at the same time."

Die, Mommie, Die! (take two)

Another brilliant line written by and delivered by Charles Busch:

"Who are you, Tony Parker? You've slipped into my life as easily as vermouth into a glass of gin. Quickly, and just a bit too smooth..."

Genius!

Where Youse At?
