Skittles gets her 15 mins

I felt it necessary to shout out our own homegirl as she has made it big in another blog ... check out her submitted pict at:

under the title Frat House Weave. Its pretty awesome when you are able to contribute to one of your favorite blogs. Feel free to poke around that site ... some of the comments are hilarious and a big shout out to whomever is putting that blog together ... great idea!

Corny, Cheesey but oh so necessary

So this morning I am overwhelmed with glee, and since the title already warns you i will be as CHEESY as possible.

Yesterday was CANADA DAY (kinda like your 4th of July and as everyone hopefully has already figured out .... I am CANADIAN). Other than the pancakes decked(ha) out with chocolate chip maple leaves(thanks) and the double sided laminated Canadian flag (again thanks!) I was personally delivered the most amazing gift anyone could give me(stick with the story I promise I make sense most of the time).

I had invited a few friends over to drink a little Canadian Club and throw around the word eh?. Patriotically of me I had already spent 4 hours at happy hour before people even came over. By the time the 3 bottles of CC were finished, people wanted to go to the bar and I was hot Canadian mess.

One of the invitees was a friend of mine who went to high school with me but haven't seen since my junior year. I found out that she's been living in Philly for the summer and coincidently happens to love Canada and me. Bravely she showed up, roommate in hand, and blended in with my friends fantastically. So when I was too intoxicated to show my face in public I was quick to usher her out the door and to the bar with my friends to keep the party going. (HELL it's CANADA DAY .. why not drink your face off????)

long story short, HS friend comes to C.D. party, I'm too drunk to function, I make HS friend go to bar with my friends and this is what I woke up to this morning:

Text Message @ 3:36 A.M.
High School Friend: "U have amazing friends. I had a really fun nite"

what a gift? It couldn't have meant more to me even if she had said "U are amazing". I'm lucky enough to acknowledge how amazing(amazing amazing amazing ... just thought I'd get a couple more in since i just realized I've used that word 18 times) the people I surround myself are but for someone to meet them for the first time and immediately pick up on the fabulosity of my friends makes me feel like I've done very well for myself. Sorry I had to cheeseball it up but if there's one thing I care about more than family and my country ... its friends.

TEAM CARPOOL BIOS

Meet the team:

Absurd:




DJ Skittles:





Me:

BAOC

Today, I've searched Jesse McCartney on pandora, drawn a pretty accurate cartoon of Absurd's cubicle on powerpoint, gone to wawa and injured myself in several very different and very painful manners, I AM OFFICIALLY BORED. Unlike most coopers, I find my bored time is better spent blogging on TCs site rather than visiting the uber lame baoc.net (i'm not trying to be MORE bored).

Since our last updated post a lot has happend. CANADA. DJSKITTLES21st. PREP for the ASIAN22nd. INVITES TO "TUBING DOWN THE RIVER".DISINVITES to "TUBING DOWN THE RIVER".BIG moves. and many many many many many MIA mornings courtesy of the DJ.


in short CANADA entitled: 16 hrs of driving, getting lost thanks to DJSKITTLES, getting more lost in an attempt to rectify her first mistake, 22 hours of being awake in a single day, 4.5 hrs of sleep the entire weekend, getting home after the sun came up, DYNASTY and POUTINE, lots and lots of tears??, pool party that was like a scene straight out of the movie BLOW, no site seeing, lots of friends and good times, scorpion bites, high bar tabs on other ppls credit cards and the best part is none of us remember most of how it went down and thanks to the f*ing lady at Rite Aid in Norristown we will never know.

DJSKITTLES 21st: best part --> she threw up on her father's feet (and that was after being at the bar for 25 mins) but it must be noted she just kept on going! a big yellow school bus, bottles of andre rolling around the bus, her friend L threw up off the side of the bus, almost everyone made it to GENOS and for some really odd reason the only pictures I have are of the DJ and her parents (I can't understand it either).

lets just say it all boils down to what seems to my theme for summer 08, "my life ... UNREAL"

What the FUCK happened???

Did we even go to Canada?

More to follow.

the homeless world cup

this is not a joke. a legit street soccer world cup for HOMELESS PEOPLE.

i heard angry white was lead scorer in melbourne 2007.

My Life .... SPECTACULAR

as if you haven't realized already ... TC is packing the goodies (none of the illegal kind) and heading DUE NORTH. With many potential dollar menu stops this trip ensures to be one for the books.

I'm not quite sure if anyone, even myself, has any idea what we're getting ourselves into ... but on the bright side at least I dont have to worry about being the one who can be DEPORTED!!!! (glorious day!). with an itinerary of 2 nights, 1 brunch and 16 hours of driving one can only suspect that our only memories will be the ones found on our disposable cameras. Oh and yes ... i did say DISPOSABLE because there's nothing better than waking up to a completely used disposable camera with no recollection of how or when all the pictures were taken.

well i must go back to work because the more work i do the closer i get to the weekend ... there will, hopefully, be alot of pictures and posts after the trip ..... looking forward to the creperies, Juliet et Chocolat, Banquise and most of all dynasty (hopefully some foxy dj will be there to pick up the 200$ tab again)

as the man upstairs says,
CHEERS

O Canada!

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

This is my way of getting in the mood for TC Does Canada... I might get deported!

Be Scared

shut the duck up?

looks like the quacktacular duck tours are getting superhated on.

a blog has been dedicated to shutting these poor duckies down.

And the feud begins

A warm Thursday in June has the blood of some of the frequent TC commentees boiling. Shouts and outcries for attention have been made, but one has made the move in attempts to fight off the ignorance TC has stricken in him. This man is no other than Fatty McFats.

In a desperate attempt to capture some friends, Fatty McFats has decided foolishly to start a new team, TEAM FRESH.

Reasons Team FRESH is the worst team ever:

• Fatty McFats is in it
• A 7 year old made their name
• Their 'heavyweights' are G.P. and Z.N.
• They still think the moon is made out of swiss cheese

Have mercy on your soul.

Why Absurd is Better then Fatty McFats

1. I'm still drunk
2. I chug Long Island Ice Teas
3. I have sex on a consistent basis
4. I have 5 friends (currently 500% more then Nah Dude)
5. His name is Fatty McFats .... need I say more.
6. Team CARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


Absurd > Fatty McFats

TC > Team Fresh

1. We have an abbreviation for our name
2. We have Womp Womp and she will out drink/dance you
3. Canada??
4. Skittles has and will be found many different places none of which you expect
5. Nah Dude is fat
6. We have a Blog??
7. We have rules
8. Nah Dude sucks at having sex
9. Fatty McFats isn't in TC
10. We joined for life

* Womp Womp may/may not be the godparent of Skittles first born

TC for life

Feast your eyes upon danbury, ct. the future home of everyone's favorite grandpa.

the historic danbury was founded by colonists in 1685 and rose to prominence in the 1800s when it became the HAT capital of the world.

SNOW DAY CONTINUED

yeahhhhhhhhhh
about that whole using the faux snow day to get your life together....

whats the exact opposite of doing that? becuase thats what happened

To my dearest TC members

FUCK YOU

Some of TC DID NOT get a snow day. Some would say the BEST third didn't get a snow day. ha I'll see you guys tonight.


Note:
How the fuck does an electrical service company have half its buildings not have ELECTRICITY? Someone isn't doing their job.

Can you say Snow Day?

When you were little/in high school there was that one faithful day during the winter months that truly bestowed happiness in your little heart. The reason it brought so much joy to your still sleep encrusted eyes was solely based on its spontaneous relief from daily duties. This day was known as the SNOW DAY. 

Today, I awoke at a usual time 6:00 am and began my usual cleansing/dressing rituals until THE phone call occurred, could it be true? 

Work cancelled? 

I don't need to report in on this Wednesday June, 11th, 2008? 

TRUF (and yes i used an F ... it was for emphasis). This is the nine to fivers version of a Snow Day and by goodness gracious (used it for Skittles) I will indulge in a sleep in and a chance to get my life together! 

Sooo ENJOY THIS DAY (the faux snow day) 

The Quacktacular Birthday Party

since the duck tours dont do charters and Absurd has threatened to swan dive off a double decker if skittles got one it looks like we're doing this school bus, old school preakness/ formal style.

but now the question remains WHERE TO GO?
although we'll be rollin' with philly's finest and 48 of skittle's closests friends we're still pretty poor college. do you really think the likes of team carpool could hit up riverdeck, mcfaddens and another place all in one night? and if i got the bus all night you know we're making it to GENOS

comments encouraged. feedback requested.

CHUCK NORRIS says .....

goooodmorning y'all,

you know its a good morning when you need to hit up Starbucks for both a Grande iced coffee and a Venti americano (with rum, hold the whiskey?? i said with ROOM, hold the WHIPPED CREAM!! -- that's a story for another day)

But here I am, sufficiently caffeinated and ALREADY procrastinating. I was performing my daily current events ritual aka hitting up msn.com and came across a pretty toe tickling article stating the top 10 Imaginative Excuses for Coming in Late to work.

As funny as they are (see below) I have a hunch that we, TC and friends, can come up with some other rather knee-slapping-tacular excuses.

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT WITH WHAT YOU THINK YOUR BEST/RIDICULOUS EXCUSE WOULD BE.

MSN.com says:

1. While rowing across the river to work, I got lost in the fog.

2. Someone stole all my daffodils.

3. I had to go audition for American Idol.

4. My ex-husband stole my car so I couldn't drive to work.

5. My route to work was shut down by a presidential motorcade.

6. I have transient amnesia and couldn't remember my job.

7. I was indicted for securities fraud this morning.

8. The line was too long at Starbucks.

9. I was trying to get my gun back from the police.

10. I didn't have money for gas because all of the pawnshops were closed.

Milkshakes

thanks to womp's OBSESSION with shakes of milk i've tried them all

but who takes the champs

McD's?
Chik-fil-a?
Arby's?

Yet to try

Skittles Craptacular B-Day Month

Skittles is having her birthday month throughout all of June. Wish her a happy birthday and prepare to swan dive off of the double decker bus sometime this month.

Spontaneous Instantaneous Death???



As if turning the ripe old age of legality wasn't enough we at TC decided that we would celebrate all the false alarms and trips to the hospital her parents experienced during this month.

Question:
are you afraid of heights? Snakes? or Death?

June 5th: Suspicious Activity - Part 1
Drunk, Blind-folded and dresses like .... (see picture above) ... Skittles embarks on her first of many adventures planned for her birthday. Final Destination? M.I.A. Concert.

Skittles is ULTIMATELY lazy

Since DJ Skittles is too lazy to post i will keep a compilation of a few of her best quotes through out the day.

DJ Skittles: lets go to wawa

get some eggs

and fry them on the sidewalk
Me: Ew
DJ Skittles: i guess that isnt an expression in canada?

Typical Day of TC Coop

6:30 - 7:00 am - Wait for Skittles to get out of bed.

6:00 - 7:30 am - Drive to Work

7:30am - 12:00pm - Talk on gmail, do a little work, and possible rides to Panera, StarBucks, MickeyDs, or WaWa (Skittles shows up)

8:30, 9:30, 10:30 - Stall naps for me, Skittles is sleeping in Womp's cube

12:00pm - 1:00pm Lunch

1:00pm - 3:30pm Talk on gmail, do a little work, and possible rides to Panera, StarBucks, MickeyDs, or WaWa

3:30-4:00pm - Leave

TC's life rocks

*UPDATE*
a few important members of TC have been excluded as of this posting but are MORE than deserving of a mention.

A brief introduction of the next member would include key personality traits such as: Bendy, Rabbity ... and this would be none other than BR.
Here is he doing a few of his favorite break dancing moves .... CHECK OUT THIS SOB

Another of our favorite Office characters happens to be a over sized bundle of HAPPINESS ... he came of us naive and gentle as a lamb but has since grown into a rougharian who has roamed his fair share of cubicle isles. An unfortunate kidnapping has left him a little on the "gansta" side (please refrain from hugging him as any slight touch can trigger flash backs to his hostage days).

I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man

As my friend WHOMP WHOMP says we all have a case of the monday's. I'm the member of TC that is on "maternity" leave and will be the most negative. I also plan on posting the most shit. Get over it and welcome to TC's life.

Case of the MONDAYS?

So basically Co-Op rocks ... or atleast Team Carpool does (even though a certain someone has decidedly taken a "maternity leave") but to make things more officially awesome I've decided to create a blog (as another form of distraction, as if we needed more). Granted permission to the other two members of TC (abbr. for Team Carpool for those of you who are "special") and now all we have to do it sit back and watch as chaos ensues.


ENJOY
