Creep Thoughts: Songs from my sardonic soul sister

07.25.2018 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

Over the years I've published many of the Facebook musings of my mild-mannered graphic designer pal, Buffy Van Huis. 10481870_10204534001422265_6407798883850068221_n

Reveries such as, "Sitting next to the dirtiest of hippies on the train has taught me a little something about the smell of damp cardboard and expired bologna." And, "When you called me a bitch, I bet you didn't expect to get on the same elevator as me. Or the part where I stand really close and grin." And, "My husband found his high school football highlight films. This is my suicide note."

Well, Buffy has mellowed with age, as we all have. But a recent trip through her Facebook feed proves she's still got it.

Things I didn't need to overhear today … or ever: "You probably didn't wipe good enough and there were traces of mucus in the sample."

It's amazing how quickly you go into ninja mode when someone tests the lock on the bathroom stall you're in.

Whomever thought it was a good idea to allow people to drink while grocery shopping, let's make out.

Shower beer might be the best of all the beers.

 

Bottoms up.
