(background: bernard is my cat)

me: I wish Bernard would go ahead and get a modeling contract and save us all from poverty.

mom: Take pictures! You HAVE the pictures! Submit the pictures! Send them to Purina! Send them to everybody! That cat will be on a Purina bag! (pause) He'd be GREAT as a before picture in an ad where they're supposed to be smelling a bad smell, because he always looks mad!

my mom sends me greeting cards like once a month w/ encouraging notes in them

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 May 2008 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

lol my mom sends me these pain-in-the-ass-to-load but very cute animated greeting cards like every other major holiday

im impressed & touched & not irritated at all w/ her for this mostly because she knows jack shit about operating computers & i myself dont know how the fuck to get my hands on those stupid fucking things so its an obv sign she cares

My mom sends me TXT messages using her own made-up abbreviations that coincide with none of those in common use.

libcrypt, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 01:30 (eighteen years ago)

i like that she does that, can we see an example?

estela, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 01:33 (eighteen years ago)

Sadly none left on my phone.

libcrypt, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 02:35 (eighteen years ago)

next time she sends you one you should revive this thread.

estela, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 06:34 (eighteen years ago)

I 2 wd lk to c this

Trayce, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 10:25 (eighteen years ago)

guys this has been a long joke w/ my sisters and i. my dad used to leave us 'to do' lists and would over abbreviate. i have to find the story i wrote about it but they would essentially read like

girls,
pls cln ktchn
esp flrs
thx,
dad

tehresa, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

maybe vowels were frowned upon at whatever crazy catholic school he went to as a kid?

tehresa, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

HE'S A BUSY MAN

n/a, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 13:08 (eighteen years ago)

i think i titled the story MAN ON THE GO

tehresa, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 13:26 (eighteen years ago)

six months pass...

i was talking about a woman i thought was beautiful and mom said:

"your butt would make her a sunday face"

roxymuzak, Saturday, 6 December 2008 18:49 (seventeen years ago)

looool

BIG HOOS'S poncho steencation (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

what does it mean?

that my butt would make a nice face for her to wear around on a sunday, or that she is so much my inferior that my butt would make her face blend into a crowd with its beauty?

roxymuzak, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:41 (seventeen years ago)

i think she means that youre so hot that even your butt is better than her best face

beyonc'e (max), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:42 (seventeen years ago)

thank u max

BIG HOOS'S poncho steencation (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:42 (seventeen years ago)

wait. sunday face = best face? cause she explicitly stated that my butt would MAKE her a sunday face, not that it would trump even her sunday face

anyway, thats probably what she meant and its a great phrase anyway

roxymuzak, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:46 (seventeen years ago)

maybe it was SUNDRY face? like "darlin her face would go all indistinct and miscellaneous in the presence of u butt"

BIG HOOS'S poncho steencation (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:48 (seventeen years ago)

maybe a sunday face and she's saying that she may be pretty but you've got a got a hot ass?

Tá a fhios agam, nach bhfuil? (I know, right?), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:50 (seventeen years ago)

although I doubt your mother would want to tell you you had a hot ass

Tá a fhios agam, nach bhfuil? (I know, right?), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

*maybe a sunday face is a jealous face

Tá a fhios agam, nach bhfuil? (I know, right?), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

it could mean any of these things

my mom is a mysterious woman

roxymuzak, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:51 (seventeen years ago)

have you thought of asking her for clarification?

Tá a fhios agam, nach bhfuil? (I know, right?), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:52 (seventeen years ago)

your butt would make a sundae on her face?

I know, right?

craig sager (eman), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:53 (seventeen years ago)

99% of my dads jokes involve changing the subject of whatever you just said to "your butt." maybe i should ask him

bnw, Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:54 (seventeen years ago)

your butt would make her a sunday butt

Tá a fhios agam, nach bhfuil? (I know, right?), Saturday, 6 December 2008 20:55 (seventeen years ago)

your dad has an awesome sense of humor

ok, i am going to call her and ask her to break it down

roxymuzak, Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:00 (seventeen years ago)

to an extent

BIG HOOS'S poncho steencation (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:01 (seventeen years ago)

your mom is awesome rox

3. Sunday Face
A euphemism for vagina to make it an agreeable or less offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener.

It is an old expression but has been re-introduced in today's Urban Language.
"I'm going to wash my sunday face"

"Don't touch my sunday face"

"Get out of my sunday face"

beyonc'e (max), Monday, 8 December 2008 01:25 (seventeen years ago)

I think it means her best face, like in wearing ones Sunday best

tron, Monday, 8 December 2008 10:53 (seventeen years ago)

four months pass...

haha my mom said ^^^this again the other day re: a picture of GISELE on a magazine cover that said "the most beautiful woman on earth?!"

tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Monday, 20 April 2009 00:11 (seventeen years ago)

tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Monday, 20 April 2009 00:15 (seventeen years ago)

that's not really encouraging, but

THE_REAL_PHIL (Dr. Phil), Saturday, 9 May 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

maybe she meant that song that goes no no nooooooooooooooo

fantazy land (harbl), Saturday, 9 May 2009 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

as in

"12 is a bad time to meet cause you have to work"
"nonononono, i dont go in til 3"

hot trend!!! haw

we know gay coop (roxymuzak), Saturday, 9 May 2009 21:42 (seventeen years ago)

haha

i do that :(

it's ok i'm trendy

fantazy land (harbl), Saturday, 9 May 2009 21:46 (seventeen years ago)

My thing is saying 'yeah' twice in a row really fast.

SQUIRREL WITH A PEOPLE FACE (╓abies), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:43 (seventeen years ago)

TODAY: nije and i met mom for mothers day brunch

"oh heather you look so pretty i have to take a picture!!!" she says

she takes a picture with her new digital camera that she can barely operate and then places the camera in the center of the table with the picture displayed in viewer

"it will be our centerpiece"

(b)admin (roxymuzak), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:44 (seventeen years ago)

wonderful

I'm not some HOOS for someone's lust to snack on! (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:48 (seventeen years ago)

oh geez

fantazy land (harbl), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:48 (seventeen years ago)

this was not very encouraging to me, as i was the only other person in attendance, but i'm sure very encouraging if embarrassing to nijoli

(b)admin (roxymuzak), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:48 (seventeen years ago)

Well, picture #1 that was taken upwards towards my face and made me look like Jay Leno was not encouraging. Picture #2 did make a nice centerpiece, imo.

Heather Nijoli Ravioli (ni jo leeeeeee), Sunday, 10 May 2009 21:19 (seventeen years ago)

haw!!

(b)admin (roxymuzak), Sunday, 10 May 2009 21:23 (seventeen years ago)

of course, emily's butt would probably make a better centerpiece, according to my mom's thinking.

Heather Nijoli Ravioli (ni jo leeeeeee), Sunday, 10 May 2009 21:25 (seventeen years ago)

centerface

(b)admin (roxymuzak), Sunday, 10 May 2009 21:31 (seventeen years ago)

my mom always sends notes like i'm about to commit suicide, like:
"Hope you're in good spirits! Here's some chocolate. love, mom"

and of course, cute pictures of dogs over the email.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 14:15 (fifteen years ago)

haha yes

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 14:18 (fifteen years ago)

my mom occasionally gets very over the top about certain issues. a good example of this is when she called nij from the parking lot at a local pizza joint and said loudly into the phone "this parking lot is full of CORRUPT PIGS"

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 14:19 (fifteen years ago)

I like yr mom.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 14:22 (fifteen years ago)

Agreed.

Col. Pinkney Lugenbeel (Abbbottt), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 14:41 (fifteen years ago)

yeah, your mom rules

horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 15:36 (fifteen years ago)

I think of "corrupt pigs" every time I pull into Barley's. She was not wrong.

one month passes...

so many encouragements from mom today. for ex: i told her i felt old and she said "you're not old. you're not three score and 7 years."

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 21 August 2013 23:52 (twelve years ago)

thank god for moms

markers, Thursday, 22 August 2013 01:10 (twelve years ago)

me: "these teenage kids at UT, i hate them and i feel old." mom: it's not that you're old, it's that they're dumb idiots"

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Thursday, 22 August 2013 01:51 (twelve years ago)

He'd be GREAT as a before picture in an ad where they're supposed to be smelling a bad smell, because he always looks mad!

this is such a great line! I think it's the phrase "smelling a bad smell"

not some dude poking a Line 6 pedal with his dick (sarahell), Thursday, 22 August 2013 01:52 (twelve years ago)

haha that whole quote is so mom it hurts. esp the slightly backhanded nature of the encouragement. lol

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Thursday, 22 August 2013 01:53 (twelve years ago)

I seriously can't believe that something like that exists and it's something that I can't take part in. What an unjust world we live in.

My mom sent me a text that said "Happy Easter! Love you! ({})"
And I said "what is that emoticon? is that a vagina?"
"LOL maybe!"
"Are all the sons getting dirty texts for easter?"
"Maybe!"

I am pretty sure it is "look at this ASCII representation of that which birthed you. Love, Mom"
