F.O.B.

friends of blogblond.

or friend of blogbrit, to be more specific.

this past weekend, we had a lovely visit with an old friend. he actually visited several weeks ago, too, and this past weekend we were lucky enough to have him back. we wish that josh could have been here to join the fun, but he was previously engaged, so our loss...

anyway, we just married off a blond/brit regular, who SHOCKINGLY does not have a blog. we'll call him eeyore, but only in the most affectionate way. he married a delightful girl from california and they now live here. so, we invited the old friend to come and celebrate with us.

let's call the friend j-deli (a pleasant compromise between a sort of ghettoed out street name, and a harmless nice jewish boy). j-deli is awesome. he is hilariously funny at all times. he shares blogbrit's passion for anything that can be grilled, and consequently they were able to do a midnight meat run/bbq fest that left them both smiling like high school girls in love. we played lots of scattergories (not telling who won) and even more trivial pursuit. luckily, i had rebel on my team for that, so i stood a fighting chance, but j-deli soundly trounced us more than once. oh, anysara, where art thou???

oh, and did i mention that j-deli is a recent and perpetual lurker on this blog?

some day, perhaps he will get up the nerve to say hello, but since we can't have the real thing, i told him i would blog about him.

we hope to be seeing him again in another few weeks. we are bribing him with salmon quiche and chocolate mousse (not together). he has not yet realized that he is dealing with a cookie whore...

in other news... nothing. so, hello j-deli. looking forwward to seeing you again soon. hello josh, who can read but not blog. hello k-hora, and anysara, and c. chammer, and !!!!sara!!!!. hello d, and dys, and MH and all of blogbrit's friends at work, who should be working instead of reading blogs. hello p-chick with too much personality, and hello rebel- maybe you'll have something exciting to blog about one of these days ;) hello to everyone, lurker and anonymous commenters alike. and for goodness sake, say hello to j-deli!!!

    Wow! This J-Deli character sounds wonderful. My thoughts are that it is the J-Deli who is lucky enough to have such wonderful friends who always make him feel like part of the family.

    Now a couple of points. Lurking seems a little harsh. I hear J-Deli prefers the term, Skulking. Second, there is a rumour circulating that the J-Deli may be making a few appearences in Detroit within the next few weeks(possibly within 8 days). Hopefully, if you feel your tolerance is still up to the task, he may visit.

    That being said, J-Deli is in the process of creating a blog and has generated a couple of posts. However, he is concerned that maybe it is just too soon for people to know the rantings of a J-Deli mind.

    Speak to you all soon and let the games begin!

    yes, anon. j-deli is pretty great. he's no seth, after all, but we like him just the same. just lucky josh wasn't here, cuz that would have been some real competition. (although nobody pursues trivia like our own j-deli!)

    can't wait for the blog- if you can find the time between your increasingly frequent (and much anticipated) visits to the blogblond mansion. keep us posted!

    I notice a recurring food and baked goods theme. You guys apparently eat very well in your neighborhood. and the games sound like fun - although i'll bet Blogblond really likes Taboo.
    What's all this stuff about Josh? Is he really THAT great?

    so, deli- it sounds like you WANT us to use you? just wanted to clarify that point... and, sadly, seth does not read this blog- that i know of...

    and, so you know- no other friend makes the blogbrit so happy. so i guess we'll keep you!

    MH- yes, josh really is that great!!!

    deli - i think you can safely assume that anyone who reads this blog understands sarcasm and humor
