We're having the heaviest thunderstorm I think I've ever seen. The freaking thunder woke me up. The sky is constantly lit up with lightning, and the thunder is like -- DAMN. I didn't know anything could be that loud. It's that kind that echoes and echoes and echoes and shakes the windows and really freaks you out. Outside it looks and sounds like some Old Testament shit.

Does anyone remember my subject line from that Eddie Murphy routine? He's talking about how fine some woman is and how great her body is, and he says, "the titties like BOOM, the bootie like POW." I can't find it on the Internet -- all that turns up is rap lyrics -- but trust me on this one, he said it. Anyway, one time Grimmett and I were working in the kitchen at the Bully together, and we were bored, so we decided to write a really bad love poem to one of the waitresses. It was all stuff like "you make me feel like a child laughing in the rain" or whatever -- and then, right in the middle of it, we put the lines:

titties like boom
bootie like pow

Each time we added something to the poem, we'd read the whole thing out loud, and every time we got to those two lines we'd die laughing. We were crying. Waitresses would come through the kitchen on their way to the stockroom or the cooler, and we'd be falling against the wall as we sputtered, "titties like boom, bootie like pow." No wonder those chicks thought we were freaks.

Oh, cool -- the storm has passed over. Man, that was wild! Now I have to try to get back to sleep.

BTW, is it "bootie" or "booty"? Or either? When you're talking about ass, I mean. I guess it's usually "booty," but for this post "bootie" just looked more correct. Sometimes you have to make those judgment calls. Or judgement -- whatever.

I think it's booty. A bootie goes on a baby's foot, I think. I could be wrong; it's early yet.

This post makes me think of when I waitressed.

i would have said "bootie" too, but i remembered that it's spelled "booty" on the cover of booty call.

so that must be right.
