The Cold Ones Are on the Bottom

At some point, the horrible turns fun.  There is a point, a tipping point, when things go too far beyond the acceptable, and they become a laugh riot.

A drop of chocolate syrup on a clean shirt is annoying. A food fight, sublime.

A slip in a mud puddle can ruin a whole day. A mud-wrestling match can make one.

Half an inch of water in your basement, soaking laundry piles and wetting the bottoms of those boxes that you meant to store better can be quite nettlesome. Enough water that you can fill an ice chest with beer and float it to your spouse? That's a party.

The secret to a happy life is the ability to always find the silver lining, even in a soggy basement that's no doubt on the verge of turning into Malaria-town. Which starts with the same letter as 'M'argarita. And 'M'uffins. And everyone likes liquor and muffins, right?

See?!?!? It works!!

I think you may have stumbled across the Meaning of Life. I am printing this out and hanging it in my office. You can never have too many reminders to allow the fun to happen.

Unless the fun is a flooded basement. I'm in awe of your ability to find humor in this. Inexplicably, I also want a beer.

When life hands you lemons, fill a cooler with Mike's Hard Lemonade. That's what I always say.

Ok,great idea but isn't this the same water you earlier said had cat turds floating in it???

[Dregina]

I'm going to go home and flood my basement RIGHT NOW.

That brings back memories of floating on a tube down the Comel River outside of San Antonio. Well, everything but the floating cat turds. Do cat turds really float?
