A Mildly Food-Related Conversation I Had a Few Minutes Ago

[Alternative title: My Roommate Is Awesomer Than Yours]

Tristan: ROBYN, I HAVE A REALLY GOOD PUN! COME OVER HERE!

Me: [shuffles over to Tristan's room] ...Ok. What is it?

Tristan: If you don't have San Pellegrino, then you're SANS Pellegrino!!! [wide open-mouthed smile]

Me: [twisted facial expression of amusement and horror] [laughter] That's terrible.

Tristan: SANS PELLEGRINO!!

Me: I actually have Pellegrino in the fridge.

Tristan: [straight face] Fuck you...mom.

LOL... ok that made me snort. It is twice as funny because you described eachothers facial expressions. :-)

OH THE WIT.

I actually laughed.

The only thing that would have made this pun better would be a slap on the knee, followed by GET IT?! GET?! (or at least thats how I usually do it ^___^)

Tristan: Your mind works in mysterious ways.

Joyces: IT'S TRUE!!!@#!

Lauren: If I had taken photos of this conversation and put them here, this post would've been even better!

Allen: When Allen laughs, it's gotta be good.

Olia: Oh, if only it had happened that way. I don't think there was any knee slapping...doh! Now I have to see you tell a pun. :)

Amblus: YOU HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION FROM ME FIRST...okay, you seem cool.

Carl: OH NO THAT ONE IS TERRIBLE AS WELL, AHHHH HAHAHAH wait, I laffed.

Danny: Ohh, you don't know the half of it. Or the tenth of it. Our weirdness knows no bounds. I should probably explain that Tristan says, "Fuck you, mom," a lot to me. It's one of those...things.

I want to sleep over, just to experience the awesomeness of you both in person.

My husband says stuff like that all the time. Coincidence that we're from Charlottesville?

You guys make me hungry.

Posted by: J F at June 30, 2008 9:21 PM [#]

your roommate is awesomer than mine.
wow.

Posted by: june at July 1, 2008 8:16 AM [#]

Steph: We do have a couch for guests...! ;)

We're not that awesome in person though. I just magnify it for the internets.

J F: AHH, IT'S A VIRGINIA THING!!

June: AHAHA and my alternative title tells the truth.

Posted by: roboppy Author Profile Page at July 1, 2008 9:08 AM [#]

You should never keep a good pun down! oh, and: Hai!

Posted by: kaare Author Profile Page at July 1, 2008 2:45 PM [#]

I don't know, I thought it was pretty funny :-)

Posted by: Cakespy at July 1, 2008 9:42 PM [#]

Cakespy: Oh, I did laugh a bit, I'm probably harder on Tristan than other people. He can take the abuse. Hehehe.

Posted by: roboppy Author Profile Page at July 2, 2008 9:03 AM [#]

"AHH, IT'S A VIRGINIA THING!!"

I'm also from Virginia so you may be on to something.

Posted by: Amblus at July 2, 2008 4:39 PM [#]

LOL, that really was funny! Even more funny that I happen to be sans Pellegrino at the moment. =D

Posted by: Christina at July 6, 2008 12:56 PM [#]

the fridge :>
