So, I’m Sitting in Jersey, or Sandy II Redux
So, I’m sitting in Jersey, laptop on a tool box and what’s left of Wilson plopped on a bucket, finishing “Castaway Redux: Life After Wilson”, abruptly interrupted by Hurricane Sandy.
My girlfriend, also Sandy, abruptly interrupts, yelling I stood her up once again, “stoopidly” staring at a “stoopid” ball, and not out with her having a ball, and I ain’t got any you-know-what “stoopid” men’s stuff down there and…
I yell back, Baby. I’ll make it up to you when I finish. I swear. No, please don’t hit me. Come on, baby, stop…
Here comes Sandy II – Redux

The Writer's Village 
Haha, very nice.
Thanks, boomie.
Your characters marry up. Mine date down.
Randy
lol
I can just see her spewing spit from that large gap between her teeth. Howling like a freight train in your ear. Man, you should have evacuated when you had the chance.
Man, you are so funny – and so right.
Stoopid Floridian that I am thinking I can outlast any Hurricane.
Randy
LOL Romantic… I think 😉
I thought it was 😉
Randy
Nice play on words, Randy! Good one. I’m stumped on this…
First, get off the stump.
Next, start stumping.
When you’re done stumping..
start writing.
If you can’t write, get off the stump….
Wash, rinse, repeat! Thanks, Randy. I did try at least!
See it did work. Crushed balls and carcases and all.
I can only assume this is semi-autobiographical. Sandy and Randy. How cute! it fits.
I gave Sandy your address so you can share in some of the semi-autobiography, my dear brother Paul who I was separated from at birth.
Hahah… dry humour is/can be very sweet…
However, I don’t believe Sandy 11 is going to be forgiving either…!
Is there ever a Hurricane that is?
I say that literarily speaking – being a Floridian many hurricanes have been very forgiving to us.
Randy
Living in an area of the world where such things are only seen on TV, I find it difficult to appreciate the enormity of such things. I doubt that it would be easy to live with the knowledge that an ‘event’ may be just around the corner; so to speak…
The whole world, I’m sorry to say aloud, is at risk today from global warming.
There are no safe houses, no safe countries.
Bt laugh we must, or we’d be overwhelmed by it all.
Randy
Indeed, Randy; indeed…
Yes, I appreciate what you say. If we didn’t think ‘lightly’ about it, i.e., laugh – we may end up being too rigidly fixed to ‘live’….
Nicely done, Randy. I must confess I didn’t get the reference to ‘Wilson’ – it’s probably a cultural thing, me being a Brit and all. His girlfriend sounds like a force to be reckoned with though! 🙂
Sofry to hear about the Brit part.
Wilson is the soccer ball that helped keep Tom Hanks sane while he was marooned on an island in the movie Castaway, realeased in 2000.
If you haven’t seen it, please rent it/ It is phenomenal and as usual Hanks is Oscar acting stuff.
Randy
Very nice and funny
Thank you
You blew me away. 🙂
You must be talking about Sandy… this is Randy
But thanks for what I figure is a figurative compliment.
You figure right, Randy. You’re very perspicacious. 🙂
I do perspire a lot. How’d you know?
Because I, like Kipling’s shipwrecked mariner, am “a [wo]man of infinite-resource-and-sagacity” and like the Elephant’s Child, am filled with ” ‘satiable curtiosity.”
Wow! I am impressed with your ill literacy (or mine). I have no clue what that was about but I liked it.
Sort of like the Stones, “It’s only Rock N Roll, but I like it.”
A Kliplinger reportress… now that’s something
Hi Randy,
Keeping the girlfriend happy can be tough in tough times. But you’ve just got to keep the ball rolling. Ron
so to speak….
Grrrreat!!! Sandy the metaphor. Good choices here. Thanks for this!
Thanks.
Dear Randy,
I think he and Wilson need to find another place. Two Hurricane Sandy’s might just be too much for one guy. Nice to know you’re not only glabrous, but perspicacious as well.
shalom,
Rochelle
You know what they say about sweaty bald men…
Wow, surviving two hurricanes is too much. Great
wow back – you are so perceptive and so right.
Seems the artist better let this Sandy blow away too… I liked the accent.
You are so right, Ted.
LOL man, dude, more like Hurricane Snookie than Sandy. Great take on your story. Very funny.
thanks
i feel a great “uphill climb” in there. if that’s what you intended, then it came through. well done.
Uphill battle is more like it, wouldn’t you agree?
Randy
i had first typed battle, then changed it because it didn’t sound right. good to know i was right the first time.
Rich,
It’s all right; it’s all good.
Enjoy your Time with Janet and, is it Brenda?, tomorrow.
thanks,
Randy
Dear Randy,
You never know what the tide will bring in. This week it brought in your story. Wilson was always a crappy plot tool on Castaway. I don’t care how well Tom hanks sold it. I’m out of chocolate.
Aloha,
Doug
I’ll send you a box (of chocolates) on the tide. It’s some of Wilson’s crap but what can you do when you’re in Jersey… and have a girlfriend named Sandy.
BTW, her last name is Bottoms.
Bottoms up,
Randy
