“The Hermit’s Lament”—a haiku

Being a hermit

rules! (Until you run out of

freakin’ mayonnaise…)

25 Replies to ““The Hermit’s Lament”—a haiku”

  1. or cereal. it’s always cereal for me.

  2. Russ says:

    Diet Coke.  I’d walk over my grandmother’s grave to get my Engineer’s Breakfast, except she’s buried in Michigan, which, it wouldn’t make any sense going 1500 miles out of my way just to get a 2-liter of liquid nirvana when the nearest store is 3 miles away.  But I would if I had to.

    TW: seriously

  3. Sean M. says:

    What’s really tough is when you run out of smack.  Because those guys usually don’t deliver.

  4. Earthling in a time of Pomeranians says:

    Heck, make some.  It’s essentially just an egg and oil emulsification, right?

    If you don’t have eggs and oil, well, I hear barbecue sauce is a tasty substitute.

  5. Andras says:

    This is why being an urban hermit beats the old-fashioned version; Mom-&amptongue winkop’s (almost) always has the mayo (or cigarette/energy drink/processed food).

  6. Major John says:

    Russ,

    I was ready to level half of Kabul when I found out that Diet Coke wasn’t to be had anywhere in Afghanistan…. fortunately the Army PX at Bagram AF managed to get some, hence the Afghan Capital still stands (mostly) today.

  7. Carin says:

    So, did you have any Miracle Whip handy?

  8. alppuccino says:

    If your sandwich won’t stand on its own without mayo, may I suggest holding the bread up to your computer screen while one of Actus’ wingnuttish comments is on display?

    They’re notoriouly fat-laden and they drip with the grease of third-hand ignorance.

    Or you could just grab a sleeve of Thin Mints and retire to the Blob-O-Lounger.

  9. natesnake says:

    Freshly churned armadillo butter?

  10. natesnake says:

    I’d wear gloves.

  11. alppuccino says:

    You don’t think the armadillo would want to wear protection as well?

  12. natesnake says:

    Naw, he’d probably just want a Cool menthol and bourbon.

  13. Ardsgaine says:

    Now there’s something I had never thought of, do armadilloes have teats? They are mammals, so it only stands to reason, but have any you ever seen armadillo teats?

    I didn’t think so.

  14. The Dallying Lama says:

    As with everything else, it’s location, location, location… The Old Man of the Piggle Wiggly has no trouble being a hermit…

  15. alppuccino says:

    Not sure you get the butter from his teats. 

    Or were you just yankin’ us?

  16. natesnake says:

    Now there’s something I had never thought of, do armadilloes have teats?

    Wrong hemisphere.  You’re thinking about Montreal, and I’m talking about Tijuana.

  17. Ardsgaine says:

    Wrong hemisphere.  You’re thinking about Montreal, and I’m talking about Tijuana.

    As in, “I wish I was in Tijuana, eating barbecued iguana”?

    TW: And then suddenly it just wasn’t there anymore.

  18. natesnake says:

    Wow, I guess I’ll be postponing lunch for a bit longer.

  19. tim maguire says:

    Mayonnaise is ok for what you’re doing, but cooking oil is better and KY is best of all.

    TW: boys. Is that what you’re doing?

  20. Sean M. says:

    Wrong hemisphere.  You’re thinking about Montreal, and I’m talking about Tijuana.

    I know what you’re getting at, natesnake, but Montreal and Tijuana are, uh, in the same hemisphere.

  21. alppuccino says:

    My microwave doesn’t have a “severed penis” setting.  It’s got “popcorn”, “defrost”, “reheat” but no “penis”.  The index in the manual doesn’t help either.

  22. WhackDaddy says:

    Hermit’s Lament, my version:

    Sure do miss women.

    Guess I’ll just have to sex my

    Bologna sandwich.

    TW:  That was just miles from good taste.

  23. natesnake says:

    Sorry Sean M.

    Wrong hemisphere.  You’re thinking about Montreal, and I’m talking about Rio de Janeiro.

    Now that we have languished over a joke that wasn’t that funny to begin with, on to our regular scheduled programming.

    T/W:  toast Boy, that guy is a piece of dry white toast.

    Manual works in a pinch. Did you try under “D?”

  25. alppuccino says:

    Found it!  It was under “crisper”.
