This week’s Peep of the Week goes to the lovely, spunky, hilarious Metalia.
I love this woman.
I about hyperventilated over this comment and the ensuing email conversation that I had with her.
” I didn’t have a prom, because I went to a super religious all-girls Jewish high school. Instead, we had parties around major holidays, wherein a man with a Casio would play songs behind a curtain (you know, for modesty’s sake) while we danced holding hands in circles beneath lame decorations and ate stale potato chips. Did I mention the limbo bar? Because there was one.”
BWAH HA HA!
It gets all the funnier when you discover that the modesty curtain was a shower curtain with rubber duckies on it.
I think I asked her to marry me several times during our hilarious email session.
I had to be certain she’s ok with multiple internet girlfriends as she is already Whoorl’s internet soulmate. I didn’t want to be attacked by a ceramic straightening iron or anything.
Not only does Whoorl have much better hair, I am fairly certain she could kick my ass.
I’m freakishly weak.
If you aren’t reading Metalia? You should. She’s hilarious.
If you want to give some linky love to your favorite “Peep” feel free to participate. Just post on your blog and link to that post below!
oh that is good!!! yellow ducks! But ya know…I thought Limbo was kinda cool when I was in HS.
That’s who I would have picked too! I loved imagining the hidden casio player peaking out at the limbo-ing teens!
I’m a day late with this feature, but plan to continue each week.
Now there’s a worthy winner! Thanks for your honorable mentions. It’s a lovely way to find new entertaining blogs to feed my addiction. You’re like my dealer now!
This comment was hillarious! I almost peed my pants! Well, I almost do that on a regular basis since I had a child, but it was realllly funny! My brother had a casio in the 80′s, and thought he was sooo cool! White pants, permed hair, and all!
I am beyond honored by this award. Thanks, Loralee! As you know, a full post is in the works about my high school experience. Stay tuned, yo.
Oh my gosh–a modesty curtain! And I can totally hear the Ooompah! Ooompah! of the mad beats. Metalia kills me.
Hey, I can’t get the link to work – it is missing an ‘h’ or something. Halp!
