Kyknoord Jr has had the sniffles recently, so I when called the ex earlier today to find out how things were going with Little Miss, I ended up getting a blow-by-blow+ account of the past few days. I never realised there were quite as many ways to describe mucous. My ex could write a book: ‘101 Exudations’. Yick. Anyway, towards the end of our chat, she mentioned that she’s getting ready to hit the dating scene again. In retrospect, I think I could possibly have worded my response a little bit better:
“Hey, good for you! Oh, that reminds me, I saw a promo on SABC3 that they’re going to start showing ‘Desperate Housewives’ at the end of the month”
[long, stony, excruciatingly uncomfortable silence]
“- er – wellokaythenseeyounextmonthbye”
And to think that people still ask, “So why’d you two split up, huh?”++
+ Thank you, thank you. I’m here all week
++ Although, let’s face it – playing Marilyn Manson back-to-back with Vivaldi at odd times of the day might also have been a contributing factor

Ah but did she mention the hedonistic mucal term, my lovely mate Moogs refers to as: lung butter.
No? Well now you have another one.

Oh Kyk. The phase “put a sock in it” clearly came from chronic foot in mouth disease.
I’m laughing. Snorting water over my desk in fact. But with deep sympathy.

Well, you are no longer together so there is no law that says you have to be nice to her anymore.
Hope Little Miss Kyknoord gets better soon!

While in the lift on the way to an advertising industry function at the Sandton Convention Centre recently, I was most disappointed that the conversation revolved around nasal decongestants for children, rather than snorted substances of another kind.
