Sorry for the incomprehensible post. I'm fat.


Since we moved in, Pablo and I have been consuming pizza and beer like champs. Four slices a pop, three nights a week. MOO. 

Last week, as I scarfed down some more of the thin-crust, a single crumb seceded from the dough and hurled itself onto the keyboard of my laptop. It was a small crumb, but a sly one at that, lodging itself between the "t" and "5" keys before I could shoo it away. And then, just like that!, the crumby bit shimmied its way down beneath the keys, nestling underneath the "t". 

Immediately I felt its presence. Once clicky and snappy and fresh, the "t" was now squishy and stubborn, restricted by the errant crumb.

I pushed down repeatedly on the "t", my frustration gaining. "No!" it said defiantly. "Can't make me!" The crumb was not budging.

I pressed harder. The militant crumb laughed uproariously and punched back, reminding me that none of this would have happened if I hadn't been so fat as to reach for the fourth slice of pizza. 

"BEAST!" it heckled, though it came out more like "BEAS!", the silence of the missing "t" speaking volumes. A vision of Annie Wilkes flashed before me, scolding my gluttonous behavior. I am Paul Sheldon, incapacitated by food and struggling with a faulty key. 

Pizza crumb: 1 / Bee: 0.

Today I will purchase some keyboard cleaner and blast the nasty crumb out from under its home. I will eat only natural, organic, healthy foods, and I shall eat them in a civilized manner sans laptop on my lap. Unil hen, I am giving in o he crumb and giving my righ index finger a res. Annie Wilkes, you win. Sorry for he incomprehensible pos. I'm fa. 

Laer.

Welcome to my Misery.
Nothing like a New York pizza.

I am sorry for your crumb, but will happily trade it for the coffee that somehow found its way onto my keyboard, which was sadly attached to my "old" laptop. Incredibly how laptops, or namely hard drives just don't have the same appreciation for coffee as I seem to...
Have a great week from here on in!

Miss Bee - This was my first read of the day and it made me laugh, my favorite. Thanks.

jae said...

I'm always afraid of spilling coffee on my keyboard, but not enough to stop drinking it at my desk. (I hope I don't live to regret these words)

Very funny. Great pos

{gasp!} you cannot get fat AND live in the burbs...

and if it makes you feel better, the girlies' computer is actually missing the c, the b, the n, and the t. thank god the z is still intact.

you poor thing.

megan said...

Jay and I were just discussing that we were going to make a pizza tonight for dinner! too funny. Nothing is better than pizza, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, mom's soup, apple pie, and anything made @ Peasant :) mel

Laughing....

I relate to you on many levels with this post. Thank you.

liza said...

Hilarious! Thank you.

seize that crumb before it's joined by more (else you might end up w/ a loaf of bread under there). i adopted my old office keyboard, and i swear someone could've made a meal out of what was in there. thankfully it's been replaced, and i no longer dry heave every time i look down.

Jackie said...

This is the perfect post for a snowy, grey, Monday morning. It has cheered me up and made me laugh.

Sorry to hear that jerk of a crumb has lodged itself under the T though.

Stop eating the COCKADOODIE PIZZA! Tis the season for snacks with melted cheese. I'm having a fat day, too. :(

I got a crumb in my keyboard the other day. I was all smart, and came up with a plan. Hold the keyboard upside down, and blow on it until the crumb came out. Guess I didn't count on the stupid thing falling right into my eye. Not so smart after all. Don't try that one.

The Curateur said...

You are hilarious! Who knew Westchester would bring out the comical genius of Lil Bee...miss you and our fun drinking nights.

please sir said...

Oh no! Yes I'm a laptop eater too...oh the crumbs! At least you ge to eat NY pizza - jealous!

katiecrackernuts said...

Hilarious. And, I'm sure you're not fat - maybe just heading that way. Divine intervention, I'm sure. Tee hee - or in your case ee hee.

cindy : quaint said...

you are _oo funny!

I *Heart* You said...

i shutter to ever think you would see the amount of crumblets that live in my clear Mac keyboard. They could probably all assemble and be an entire slice of toast of something.

and after seeing madonna last night, i fell like a cow too. madonna could make Ghandi feel like a cow.

that pizza looks good. so good.

Two words: Keyboard Skin.

Not that I use 'em. I like my keyboard ridden with sesame seeds and pretzel salt. Shows character. Carbo-addict character, but character none-the-less.

Hope you're feeling better and thinner by tomorrow. Guess we all share the crumb obsession, funny to see such a tiny beast makes for such a good laugh!

Fabulous post. Pizza looks divine. That's it kids... pizza for dinner tonight... my blog peers are a terrible influence! A-M xx

S.HOPtalk said...

Lil Bee...what would I do without you? The second I saw that first photo, I knew I was in for a treat...and boy oh boy...you did not disappoint. Thank you for one of the best chuckles I've had in awhile. You're so dang clever. xoxo

Regardez Moi said...

omg i love you... it's official. this was the best post ever. EVER. and the word verification is 'prose'. so fitting!

Emily said...

this made my day. hopefully your misery will dissipate as soon as that crumb has been removed.

Julia said...

The pizza crust has struck again! And I thought I was the only one with squishy keys :)

franki durbin said...

Girl, you are a riot. Oddly enough, we just had our keyboard replaced on one of our Macs because the 't' had stopped working. LOL! Luckily it was still under warranty...

only now I'm disappointed we don't have such a fabulous tale of how the 't' ceased to be. LOL. If only a crumb had been the culprit. If only...

Chloe's Chic Conception said...

hahahhaa sooo funny!

Chessa said...

omg...you make me laugh. I'm fa too. I haven't been to the gym in over 2 weeks and I always eat four slices of that delicious lard disguising itself in the form of a thin crust pizza...I try to convince myself that it's not that bad bc it's like a cracker with sauce but...deep down I know the truth. don't go on a diet...the holidays are around the corner and you'll fall of the wagon anyway...that's me...the eternal optimist:)

God love yer heart. Honey, if these kind of things weren't meant to happen, God would've scrapped plans on elastic and tropical patterns!

fantastic post darling!!!!!! x

littlebyRD said...

MMMM...Pizza and beer - one of my favorites! Fat be damned - this combo is just too good to say no to. I just dropped in to check on you and will be back later to finish catching up.

Leanne said...

This post made me laugh out loud! Moo. Yeah, what is it about moving and unpacking that makes everyone always eat pizza? It must be because it is sooo delicious and convenient. I'm a eat-by-the-computer sort of gal during lunchtime (hell, sometimes breakfast, too)!

Angie said...

LOL-great post!!! You of course could resort to your nemesis; Blueprint Cleanse...That is how I got turned onto your blog, looking to see if others had the same experiences with the cleanse. =-)
