no sense of humor at all

Posted on by

Last night’s walk was sponsored by: 2 Red Dog road pops, 1 pack wet and squishy Marlboro Reds, 4 Bud Lights and Blockbuster.

If I can lose 3 pounds this week, I’ll be at -30. So, last night I planned to walk for 45 mins. Simon was bored (as he should be…it’s a Monday night in Oxford. Not a lot going on…) and so I told him I’d walk down to Blockbuster and get him a movie. The total walk is a little over 3 miles.

Simon told me what movie he wanted and so off I marched.

I had just loaded my MP3 player with some rockin’ music and before I knew it, 20 mins had passed and I was at Blockbuster. Of course, they didn’t have the movie he wanted so I called him and he said, “Anything sports related.”

I picked up Benchwarmers.

That’s sports related, right? And Simon’s a guy…what guy doesn’t like a good Rob Schneider movie? Especially if that movie’s cast also includes David Spade, Jon Lovitz, and Jon Heder. I mean, that’s a man’s man cast if ever there was one.

Well, apparently Simon isn’t the typical man’s man.

I laughed my ass off. The movie was dumb as shit–but it was supposed to be dumb. Dumb and funny.

Simon said he grew thicker every minute he watched the movie. He then asked me where my dictionary was because he needed to read it in hopes to gain some of his smarts back.

No sense of humor at all.

Simon then suggested that I should make “my favorite” (Grant) watch it when he comes to stay with us in October. He said not to tell Grant that he hated the movie and see what Grant says when it’s over. I may just have to do that.

And if he likes the movie, then he really will be “my favorite”. LOL

  1. My daughter watched Bench Warmers last night while I cleaned the house. When I asked her about it, she said, “It was really funny, Mom!”

    Maybe it’s the cultural gap?

  2. Yeah, I told him he didn’t get it cuz he was a foriegner. LOL It’s gotta be cultural. He didn’t like Napolean Dynamite either, which is still one of my faves. LOL

  3. Sometimes you have to be in the right mood for a silly movie… I know I do.

    I haven’t seen Benchwarmers and must say, it’s not high on my “to watch” list. LOVED Napolean Dynamite, though.

  5. Well, Mel, you and my daughter have the same taste in movies. LOL. Not only does she love Napolean Dynamite, but she did the “Napolean Dance” at her school’s talent show (wearing her Vote for Pedro shirt, of course). It was a big hit. 🙂

  6. Maureen,

    Benchwarmers is definitely a mood flick. But c’mon. Simon LOVED Talladega Nights. Yes, it’s Will Farrell, but it’s the same principal. Dumbass movie, lotsa laughs. Simon just didn’t want to like it cuz of his aversion to Jon Heder. 🙂

    Ellen, you’re daughter and I are on the same wave length then. “Eat your ham, Tina!”

  7. I’m sorry. I may never be able to speak with any of you again. Napoleon Dynamite? Seriously?

    My daughter made me watch it and I was ready go get up and clean the house within the first ten minutes. And, I’m telling you NOTHING makes me want to clean the house. NOTHING!! Ugh.

    You all may have to do something spectacularly funny to earn back my hard-earned respect. Sheesh.

  9. I haven’t seen it yet but I was sure it was going to be funny. Since I know you like Better Off Dead, I have much faith in you.

    I walked 45 mins. two days in a row now, up from my usual 35-40!

  10. Um, when you wrote “He was getting thicker as he watched”…my mind went spiraling straight down into the gutter.

    I’m like, What kind of flick did she get???

    THEN you mention the dictionary.
    *whew*
    I was heading for the ice cubes.

    Glad you found a fun show.
    Never heard of it.
    I just saw Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom…. whoa
