One of my best friends came over tonight. I haven’t had the privilege of hanging out with him since last year. To celebrate we drove around town, listened to cheesy techno music and stopped at the grocery store for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.
A bottle of locally made red wine and a pint of Chubby Hubby later we were dancing in my living room. Dancing quickly became jumping and jumping turned into phonebook surfing.
What, you ask, is phonebook surfing? It’s when you put on music really loud and with bellies full of ice cream, you place a phone book in the middle of the room and run and jump on the phone book to slide across the carpet.
It was pure entertainment for 15 minutes until the phone rang.
I recognized my landlords number, turned down the music and acted as cool as possible. “Hellllo?”
“What’s going on down there?” He asked.
“Oh, are we being too loud?” Giggle, giggle…
“Yeah, you are being a bit too loud down there.”
“Okay, sorry about that. I’ll stop. Have a goodnight Bill.”
The Final Dish: Phonebook dancing + Ben and Jerry’s + a bottle of red wine + a great friend = a guaranteed good time. Maybe too good a time.

Better phonebook surfing than butt surfing, right? Wait, that’s not funny?

Good old Bill. Maybe one day he’ll get his head out of his but a pick the true pumkin carving contest winner!

I was grocery shopping yesterday and on my list was Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream (I like Half Baked). I really wanted some because I haven’t had any ice cream in awhile. It was the last thing on my list since it is in the last isle (I write my list by location in the store) but when I got to the isle, my brain said, “No! You need to keep eating healthy.” So I went home without it and had a ton of regret. I’ll probably go back to get some this week.

When did you discover phonebook surfing? More importantly, how did you discover it? It sounds like a late-night trip to the bathroom gone terribly wrong.

I think the bottle of wine helped us to not only discover it but improve our surfing skills.
I didn’t do so well my first attempt. I jumped into the air aimed for the book, the wine made me miss it and I fell on the floor next to it. So maybe it didn’t help our skills…

Wine is nothing if not a bravery aid. I commend you for your fearlessness, wcdish.

It could entirely be that I am no fun, but that sounds painful.

Sounds like you’d enjoy banana chair sliding. It’s maybe the most fun I’ve ever had. Here’s how it’s done…
(1) Peel a banana. (2) Cut off four squares. (3) Place squares smushy-side-down beneath the legs of a chair. (4) Sit on chair and push off a solid surface. (5) Float like magic across the room.
Tip: Have a mop handy. Also, not recommended for carpeted rooms. You need a linoleum floor and some space to move… like in a college caffeteria.
Happy surfing.

Forget the mop… sounds like a delicious mess.
Ok… that may be gross. But after wine? Hmmmmm
