The theme song for this past weekend’s “Weekend Theme Song Challenge” (see my last post for an explanation) was “Right Place, Wrong Time” by Dr. John. How damn appropriate that I traveled from California, where I live, to my hometown of Fargo, to surprise my brother for his 30th birthday.
Allow me to explain why I succeeded with such flying colors at this "Challenge". I consider my home town the "right place" for some of the best moments in my life. And since my brother didn't know I was coming home, my appearance in Fargo was at the "wrong time". Thus, just my being in Fargo was essentially living up to the weekend theme song!
But, the song isn't just about (in)appropriate places and times, it's about all of life's (in)appropriate moments. So...
Here is a short story about me doing some - among many - inappropriate things this past weekend. I call it "Bowling and A Dog and a Butt: An Inappropriate Story"...
Once upon a time, I took my brother to a bowling alley to use him for bicep curls. (Wrong place, wrong weights.)
I became distracted, so I broke into the children's playroom (wrong place) and brought a stuffed dog to life (wrong... science?)
We became the breast of friends. (Good.)
But I decided it was in my breast interest to make a strange, new friend. (Wrong friend.)
We tried to learn how to kiss (Wrong... style.)
Next, I did a smelly thing in the "Employees Only" bathroom. (Wrong place, wrong bodily function.)
My brother did not approve of it. (Whatevs.) You can see my shirt. (Right shirt.)
When we escaped from the bowling alley, my new friend and I met two hillbillies. (That seems okay enough.)
I showed one of them where my butt is. (Wrong.)
THE "END" (Butt pun.)
Well, as you can see from this story, it was a strange yet wonderful time. There was more to my weekend, but most of it was good-natured and not as strange. Mostly just damn hard fun. Speaking of fun, here's a fun video that shows how I surprised my brother on Friday when I arrived in Fargo. (I sang in a child's voice in this video. Don't ask.)
That's all for this "Weekend Theme Song Challenge". I'm not sure if I won or Hyperbole Personified won. I think her weekend was more crazy than mine. But... I'm certain that mine was stranger than hers. Possibly more heartfelt since it was a non-sexual "love" surprise for my brother? Is it a draw? Or do I have to pull out the big guns???
