Jeffee Gets Inspired

Jeffee throws open the kitchen door and yells, "Honey, quick! Kim! COME HERE, QUICK! You aren't going to believe this," he says breathlessly, "It's a freakin' miracle!"

The man sounds like he's just seen an UFO or something, so I stop what I'm doing and run to the door. I'm greeted by a cold blast of wind and the sight of Jeffee, immensely proud and ready to burst from the great news he has to share. He's holding something and the look on his face is signaling my Spidey Sense to kick in. It's not that I'm suspicious, it's that not even a week ago while we were spending the weekend at my sister's house, he faked me out with an injury just so he could force me to catch a whiff of a monster shit he took in a hallway bathroom. "What is it Jeff?" I ask, not trusting him an inch.

"Look at THIS!" He says.

"Uh huh" I say, "I see you've found a log."

"A log! It's not a log!" He says, "It's... it's, well, it's cool as shit! Look at it Kim! It's a log - IN a log!"

Sure enough, it is.

"That's great honey, really."

"You know what I'm gonna do, don't you?" He asks me.

"I don't dare guess..."

"Gah! I'm gonna put it on eBay! It's like a Jesus log, only there isn't any Jesus or anything in it, but, LOOK at it! Oh! I have to go show it to Eric!" He says, as he runs toward our son in law's house. "He's not going to believe this!"

"I know I can't..." I say to no one, as I slowly close the door, shaking my head.

"What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor's dog?What's great for a snack and fits on your back?
It's Log, Log, Log!

It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a log! You're gonna love it, Log!
Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log!"

Great entry! hehehe. He might just make a fortune selling that thing on ebay :)

I am embarrassed to say that the first thought in my head was, "He should sell it on eBay - people buy lots stupider stuff than that."

Damn.
Just as I resort to asking your youngest if you are still alive (and I probably freaked her out too - sorry!) *cough*- just as I commit that heinous faux pas, you turn up again.
All I can say is Hurray!!!

As to Jeffee's log (and that just sounds seven shades of wrong and no, I mean like Mr Hanky) - the 'plank' actually looks pretty cool!

That said, I am an English girl and we don't have so many trees to cut down and timber is expensive here and anyway we are in the EEC that forced us to have uniform carrots and straight bananas, so such beautiful and interesting aberrations would probably just never make it to the shelves.

I feel like an Indian kid seeing her first snow. Or not.

I hope he really sells it and gets a good price!

I meant straight cucumbers. Our bananas just have to be uniformly curved.
Bonkers.

Truth be told, it is a pretty cool log.

Looks like Jeffs log is taking a shit.

My husband would probably try to make it into a lamp.

I was going to try to come up with something really clever to say in retort but...

hey... when a guy shows off a log... that is actually INSIDE another log...

Well... seriously... who can top that shit?

Hey Kim, if they can sell DIRT from Central Park... Yeah DIRT... Jeffee can certainly sell his log. But I really think you should keep it! It's kind of cute and one of a kind. (Let me know if it goes up for auction. I might just bid!)
