Oh friends, I like you all so Very Extremely a Lot. So much do I like you, I must share the bon mots that spring forth from my husband's mouth. He's like a less x-treme version of the elderly gentleman on that famous Twitter feed, **#%$!@# My Dad Says. I'm looking forward to what emits forth when he IS elderly and all the filters come off! Some of my favorite lines I had to leave out because I didn't want my entire audience to leave en masse...but really, you have no idea how ridiculous we get over here...
Little nubbins like....
On 'Downton Abbey':
What do you think of that show?
"I don't know."
Come on.
"It's alright. Clearly it was written by some apologist for the British caste system. See? Even the servants are having a good time!"
(Melissa here ~ It's coming JANUARY 6th! I'm only a LITTLE EXCITED!!)
On blogging:
"Why would anyone buy a blogger's book? Most of their work is available for free already online."
"So as far as I can tell, blogging consists of 30 minutes of work and 2 hours on Pinterest."
(Silly bean. He knows that I spend far more time than that on Pinterest.)
(Also, he really does know how hard I work on blogging. Blogging is a LOT of work, my lovelies. For which, most of us don't get paid. I have no high ideals when it comes to that by the way. The second I get more sponsors or qualify for some good ads, they're going up in a heartbeat!)
Andrew, what do you think of Pinterest?
"It seems kind of dumb. I guess it's alright. Chicks can do whatever they want on the internets."
"Please don't write down what I say on your blog." (That's my personal favorite.)

On Anthropologie:
"Most of their stuff looks like it was made in a middle school metal shop class project." (in reference to this item, a metal letter made out of zinc.)
Also re said item: "NINETY- EIGHT DOLLARS? Is that for the whole alphabet??"
No, that's for one letter.
"Their stuff is stupid and overpriced." (He then spent several minutes looking up the price of zinc.) And pronounced that "based on the current price of zinc, those letters ought to be about 100 lbs a piece."
"Why do people buy expensive clothes, just to look like poor hippies?"
On who is a better 'Star Trek' captain:
Jean-Luc Picard or James Tiberius Kirk?
"It's like comparing apples to oranges."

On my favorite show 'Once Upon a Time':
"Stupid. It's like one of those %**&%^& Robert Halmi Sr. mini-series that used to be on TV and it got turned into a whole show."
How many wives do you have?
"I have my human wife and Sally, my cat wife."
"Our love can survive even Melissa's attempts to embarrass us on the internet."
Andrew and Sally's love could be likened to a great love that all Twihards will understand, so strong, so enduring it is, just like Bella/Edward (you're welcome, by the way, for that awesome link) and KStew/RPattz (you're welcome for that one as well. I accept all forms of currency). Despite all of my attempts to get between them, you will be happy to know #ANDREWSALLYISUNBROKEN. (and here is my final gift for you today.)
Anything else you want to share with the world?
"No."

Please thank Andrew for making me laugh at this early hour of the morning. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI told him everyone was enjoying his Andrew-isms and he groaned. He's not as entertained as we are....:)
DeleteHaha, this is awesome! It's nice to hear about the men behind great ladies ;) I hope he and his cat wife are doing well while you're on your trip, lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah...Anthro is so crazy over-priced. But I love going there...and then seeing if I can find something similar at Target ;) it always makes me want to paint though!
I'm back now! And I don't think anyone even noticed I was gone! Julia's like, oh hi mom, whadya bring me, and last I saw, Andrew was cuddling the cat. ;)
DeletePS: I do love a good beard! I have a beardy boy myself ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have to wait til January to see Downton? Bummer. Have you tried Cranford, the series with Judy Dench? Its more bonnet-y than Downton but great too. Maybe that would tide you over til Jan.
ReplyDeleteLooking up the price of zinc? I know someone who does stuff like that too. Sort of ruining my buzz as I lust after rubbish online but also a welcome breath of fresh air that makes me realise said rubbish is rubbish.
I know!! There's a way to find it online somehow but it sounded confusing to me and plus I want to watch on my TV. I totally want to see Cranford!! I just have never had the opportunity ~ I've heard that it's great.
DeleteBwahahaha! I love this post, the Andrew-isms are priceless!
ReplyDeleteSomeday I'll try and get his deadpan, Hugh Laurie-esque delivery of these pronouncements down on video. He'll never allow that to happen, but I'll try. tee hee
DeleteI am reading this on my phone, while lying in bed, and I am dying, just dying trying to stifle my laughter so as not to wake up the rest of the household. I love your Andrew-ism posts. Btw, I have a pin somewhere of the how-to for recreating those zinc Anthtro letters if you're keen on them.
ReplyDeleteI do that too! sometimes I'll be laughing over something in the office, which is right next to Julia's room, so I have to try and be quiet :)
DeleteOh no no, I would never attempt the recreation of those things, although that's so cool that you pinned a craft about it! One time we were walking thru Anthro and he saw them and was like, what the hey?
Ha ha! He is funny. My husband always says Pinterest is like paper dolls for adults. I kinda like that one because paper dolls are... awesome.
ReplyDeletedouble ha ha to that Keely! Love that! Andrew says also that Pinterest is like Reddit for chicks. Have you ever seen Reddit? It's like all kinds of geek news stuff.
DeleteThanks for the laugh! Andrew should be a sitcom character!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I hope your dad is feeling better!
If Andrew were on a sitcom, he would be wearing a bag on his head and not saying anything ever, heh. He likes his hilarious to be quiet and private, which is why I chose to share it with you all! giggle
DeleteAnd thank you, my dad is doing amazingly well. :)
OH!!! This was all so hilarious!!! Thank you, thank you both. I'm so glad that Andrew's cat wife has such undying love for her human husband. So Glad.
ReplyDeleteAnd that will ferrell video. priceless.
I was choking with laughter at the Will Ferrell thing, seriously! "TRAMPIRE!!" Oh I need to go watch it again...
Delete"Chicks can do whatever they want on the internets" and "Please don't write down what I say on your blog". Priceless :)
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorites too!
DeleteThis is hilarious! I love it. My hubby and your hubby would probably get along great! Except mine LOVES Downton Abbey. He aspires to be British aristocracy. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about female Siamese cats and their devotion to their male "owners"? Our Katie is getting so old, but will jump on anything (with an arthritic "yowl") to snuggle her man.
DeleteAndrew and Adam can commiserate on Once Upon a Time...I love that show. <3 They are rerunning last season's Downton Abbey soon, just to get us all prepped for Jan. Very very excited! Love the Andrew posts!
ReplyDeletethose boys....they are full of the funny, yes?
Deleteoh my goodness. a cat wife. I love it. Also, I have purchased a zinc letter from anthropologie....but it wasn't $98....more like 20 something...maybe I got a much smaller one. Don't tell him. Or his cat wife. I want them to like me! :)
ReplyDeletethere are two sizes! you must have the smaller one ;)
DeleteJust stopped pinning for a moment to actually visit you here (though I usually see you there). I'm thinking you got your husband confused with mine because their answers would be identical.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha! oh men....they totally don't get the miracle that is Pinterest.
DeleteYes!! It's here!! Julia's bookbag, Andrew's side of the story :) seriously today I was like in the middle of a mundane task when I literally stopped in my tracks thinking--wait it might be the Andrew post-- it was!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Thank you for posting this totally hilarity!
we're really very bored around here Miss Whitney -- so I have to amuse myself with photoshopping pictures of the cat! ;)
