my vacation: a wee photo essay

I'm back! Miss me? I had a great vacation and I'm feeling all refreshed and shit. I'd go into further detail but I'm sort of distracted with post-season baseball and Scrabulous on Facebook at the moment so here are a few brief highlights from my holiday:

1. Here's me and my cute sneaks overlooking the inlet between Point Pleasant and Manasquan at the Jersey Shore...

2. This was taken at an arcade on the Point Pleasant boardwalk. This fella sunk one right after another. All net. I was impressed. I would make a joke about drafting him to the Knicks but, unlike my love of baseball, I don't give two shits about basketball...

3. I spent some quality time with Best Friend Since Kindergarten and her family. BFSK's Daughter was quite fond of handing me her toys and commanding me to play with them. On the first day of my visit, I had to lug around Eric, aka Ariel from The Little Mermaid's love interest. On day two, I worked my way up to Polly Pocket. Here I am holding Polly's hand on the way to dinner. Luckily for Polly, the restaurant didn't have a strict dress code. Girlfriend was in her undies, yo. She's a shameless hussy, that Polly Pocket...

4. Here Polly does her best Vanna White impression and points to the establishment's margarita special. FYI, it was mango...

P.S. Is it just me or does Polly look like the end result if Jane Jetson and the mother from the early seasons of Charles in Charge mated? And I'm referring to Gwendolyn-era Charles in Charge, not that syndicated Nicole Eggert bullshit.

5. Lest you think I was cheating on Glamour Puss by squiring Polly Pocket around the Jersey Shore, behold the prize I won for GP in the crane machine in the same arcade where the Hasidic man was shooting hoops...

He even roars. Ah, romance.
