Shannon’s Perspective:

"Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Take it easy on yourself"

Good song, better memory.

P.S. If Larry thinks its weird for him that Kim and I are BFF's, how do you think it makes Kim feel that I married Larry.

P.P.S. In the toilet paper shortage of Covid 2020 you felt lucky to get name brand TP, even if it wasn't your brand.

P.P.P.S. In reference to the "she gave me a pen" meme....nope not pissed because to quote Chris Rock from Never Scared, "He ain't talkin bout me." (IYKYK)

Larry’s Pick: Life In A Northern Town

LOL - a lot to unpack with this one.

So no, this song would not have normally made this project. It is a fantastic song, but it didn't really have meaning in our relationship over the years.

But once we landed on the "F" the fill in the blank! theme and I added the Covid pandemic as a topic, my mind immediately flashed back to making Shannon take this picture of me.

It was truly a celebratory day as we were able to secure some toilet paper at our (local?) Wal-Mart. Maybe the closest Wal-Mart being 30 miles away in Goodland, KS isn't local to you - but because it's all we have, it sure is local to us!

I had to take that opportunity to nail two GEN X song references - this song and Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes from the scene in the movie Say Anything.

So here's to you, "F" the pandemic! and "F" toilet paper hoarders!

P.S. Shoutout to Kim my high school friend turned wife's best friend (again, weird) for the tag and social distancing Say Anything post!

P.P.S. This is not a PSA or plug or preference post for Quilted Northern Toilet Paper - this post is not being sponsored. It literally was all we could buy at that time.

P.P.P.S. I guarantee Shannon is pissed I included the "I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen" pic.
