Misplaced Mourning?
It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of my blue water bottle. A last minute gift from my grandmother in Portland, my AirWater bottle has been with me for well over two years, weathering an overseas excursion and various domestic trials. This fabulous bottle has never let my water go sour, unlike previous bottles, and has always shown a properly respectful attitude towards myself, only in later months allowing a few drops to leak from the cap due to physical problems. I have greatly apprecieated its efforts to help me achieve and maintain a healthy level of hydration and will miss it quite desperately. The bottle has been interred in a wastebasket at Hughes Lumber Co. No service is planned.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I wish that there was something I could do to help to ease the pain, but we must reflect that trials are sent to test our fortitude, and may well be blessings in diguise.We must *sob* comfort ourselves with the knowledge that this dearly departed water bottle led a happy and useful life of dedication and service, and has gone on to a *sniff* better place. May your memories of the dearly departed bring you joy one day, when you are again able to think of them without pain.
In Deepest Sympathy,
Gwendolen~
I am greatly burdened by your tremendous tribulation! I feel my heart breaking at your loss. I offer my sincere condolences. What a joy and rarity to find such a perfect water bottle who has been there by your side for these many years! It is truly a tragedy, and surely, it deserves a service! If there is no place for its burial, I really think you should start a "Dear Water Bottle Graveyard" for all those dear bottles who have died nurturing us for so many years!May the God of peace comfort your heart in this time of sorrow.
With deepest sympathy,
Karen
*choke, choke, cough, cough* ;)
Madam Min!
My condolences on the untimely death of your water bottle! It should have picked the holidays to die. You're going to need some water with your wall-climbing.
Lest I forget to mention it, I love the comments about your blog. Clean everyday comic relief is sometimes hard to find.
On a more serious note: I hope my last e-mail was not too depressing. I'm afraid I may have scared you away... Either that, or your studies are taking their toll. Not to worry, I understand. I just lived through a theoretical computer science and algorithms midterm. Pretty fun stuff :-(
In any case, I hope you're doing well... Miss your craziness and bug spray drama. My regards to your significant other (fun, loving, absolutely wonderful Joel ;-)).
Later Madam... Stay fit and trim! :-)
Did it demise, or was it just crippled? Did you even give it a chance? You just throw things away when they are crippled, huh?
People like you disgust me.
I'm sure Grandma has about thirty of those down in her little Basement of Wonders, but they will never have the memories the two of you shared:( It is important in these times to seek comfort by the means made available to us. I highly recommend all products by Hagendaz, Godiva, and Ben&Jerry. Also, I do believe Batman Begins recently came out on video. *cough* *cough* Cillian what?
I can't tell you how much your sympathy means to me. Such an outpouring of support as I have received has lifted my spirits and helped me to continue living. Except for Bryan. His unwarranted attack upon me has driven me to the depths of despair where I have languished for minutes at a time.... until I'm lifted once again by the love of my true friends. And for your info, Bry, it had a hole in it. It was dead.
Bri, thank you so much for the sources of comfort. (Cillian.... *sigh*)
I'd never thought about it, Tolu, but you're right, the comments are kind of a clean comedy act at times. I know this one made me snort a couple of times.
May Bottle Blue find rest and peace,
In azure clouds of white release,
Forever freed from Mindy's lip,
Poor Joel now in their captive grip,
Sweet peace, fa'er blue, your rest you've won,
Go kick it now with Evian!
Chris! That was awesome!
Blah, blah, blah, blah. Are we seriously going to mourn over every single stupid little thing that seems to fulfill its destiny...that is, fail Mindy.
We shall now be in a constant state of annoyance and fake sorrow. I for one mourn the fact that I am even posting a comment on this sad, sad excuse for a blog.
Have a happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
I finally convinced the little'uns that dogs don't go to Heaven. Now I have to explain WATER BOTTLES?!
Leapin' lizards! Lunatic lyrics and lethargic logic, lackadaisically laid out on-line by leprositic left-brainers!
Please! Pare the plethora of pathetic penning and poor prose!
Altruistic algorithms add an air of authority when added as analogies, but anachronistic apathy is FUTILE!
Woe are we when words go wild!!!
Coyo~
"Altruistic algorithms add an air of authority when added as analogies, but anachronistic apathy is FUTILE!"
altruistic - well meaning
algorithms - processes
anachronistic - untimely (uh, er, close enough)
apathy - lack of initiative, laziness
Translation:
Well meaning processes bring a sense of authority when added as examples, but untimely laziness is futile.
Hmm... that's deep.
*sighs* Oh icthus, can't you avoid insulting my posters for more than a week? ...Although I have to admit that I, too, was wading in a woebegone way through the weighty wasteland of wanton words. *grins* I love alliteration!
Zach, I'm going to go and cry now, thank you.
Insult? I was translating!
