Motown Philly Back Again
Hello there.
I realize that I've been gone for a while and I've gotten just enough complaints to get MesteeBlogger back in action. Maybe that sounds like a reluctant return to the blog, but it is tough to be quite as enthusiastic about it as the days where I could write MesteeBlogger at work while getting paid. Regardless of my reasons, I will be attempting to get entries up here a little more regularly in the near future.
I haven't worked since November 9th, which has been a nice break. I flew out to Philly on Monday to hang out with Steve and Brendan. Much like Jack has previously attempted to bring back more frequent use of the phrases "Super" and "Fair Enough", I stumbled upon a few phrases during my trip to Philly that I believe might deserve a second look from the American Public. It was Steve who used both of these phrases -- in a joking manner -- during my trip. However I would like to see the following phrases brought back into fashion on a serious level:
"Let me slip into something more comfortable"
I believe this phrase was last heard preceding love scenes in 1980's films, but why not utilize it in everyday life? Why use "I'm going to put on some sweatpants" when "Let me slip into something more comfortable" achieves the same goal and sounds so much smoother. If you're like me, you could stand to be a little cooler a lot more often. Don't put on your jammies, slip into something more comfortable. Case closed.
"Get something nice for yourself"
This one is typically used by high rollers speaking to cocktail waitresses upon giving them money, but why let the high rollers have all the fun? Next time you're at the Olive Garden, personally deliver your 20% in cash and let the waiter or waitress know that this money should be used to "Get something nice for yourself". For that matter, the phrase could even be directed toward the old guy behind the counter at the sandwich shop when you're slipping a dollar and change into the tip jar on the counter. It will remind the fine service workers of America that they deserve to be pampered, even if it cannot be done with your contribution alone.
This is one of the most strange and horrifying things I've read in a while.
And this is possibly the end of the English language.
