*reads the Sonic saga*

OMG your mother is crazy frightening! Did you have to bail her out this time around? Or did she just traumatise some fifteen year old McDonalds punk into therapy?

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:20 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Actually, she just drove home grumbling. That girl has no idea how lucky she was to escape with her life and sanity.

(Actual sass: they argued for like five minutes about how the ice cream machine was broken, AGAIN, and then the girl confirms her ice cream-less order and says, "So, YOU WANT DESSERT WITH THAT?")

.... I still wish your mom had thrown that drink at the girl...

Every time you post that something has gone horribly wrong in your house, I eagerly await the follow up post where someone has sassed your mother and it has Gone Badly For Them.

I can't decide if that makes your mom Just That Ossim, or me Just That Sadistic.

I know, dude. I was deeply disappointed that no one this time has died yet.

	From: particle_person	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:21 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Y'ALL SOMEBODY SASSED MY MOM AT THE MCDONALD'S EVERYONE IS GONNA DIE.

I'm picturing the scene: Your mom at the register, the cashier who's just sassed her, and then the sudden silence as the whole room holds its breath...

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:22 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Sadly, this was in the drivethrough. It was all very unsatisfying.

	From: scornedsaint	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:21 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Every time I visit family in Montgomery and pass a Sonic, my mom and I absolutely lose it and start quoting the Sonic Incident at each other.

I also want to hear the story about someone daring to sass your mom and McDonalds.

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:23 pm (UTC)		(Link)

See, that's the sad part--there's no story. It was in the drivethrough, they had no ice cream, the girl gave her attitude, and she fumed all the way home. I was so disappointed.

"You brought a snack." And then all the sparklepires defensively crouching. AHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAH!

I may never recover.

Why was this locked for a second? It was weird. It was like The Twlight Zone or something. Maybe I'm weirded out really easily.

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:35 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I locked it because the official site wanted to post THE WIDGET directly here, and I had to privatize it long enough to put in the actual entry text around it. You know, the apologizing and such.

A count down...for a trailer?? lol.

My husband still won't go see the movie with me even though lulz should be grand.

	From: foresthouse	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:40 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Speaking of vampires, I have now watched all 5 eps of TB so far online and OMG I love this show. You. Are. Evil. Because now I'm addicted, and I can't even watch it on TV!! *sniff*

But it's awesome, so there's that. Hee.

Your mom + my mom = the end of fast food as we know it.

	From: raevgray	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:44 pm (UTC)		(Link)

The kiss was kinda hot. The vampires in general? Pants-wetting hysterical.

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:55 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Yeah, I'm with you. I think that's even the makeout scene they reshot. Now, the tree-skittering and the vampire baseball rumble? I will pay full ticket price to see any movie with THAT kind of lulz in it.

Gummie bears to anyone who makes an icon out of "MTV: Encouraging psycho fank wank since May 2008" using Twilight pictures!

One of these days your mom's gonna end up on customers_suck and I am going to lol so hard when it does. XD

	From: acaciakitty	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:57 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Some ass at the McDonalds drive through *threw* two packets of bbq sauce at me when I asked for some with my chicken nuggets. I invoked the essence of Cleo!Mom and brought the Hammer of Unacceptable down on them.

I adore stories about your mom. I'm gonna start mailing that woman a Mother's Day card.

	From: cassildra	Date: October 9th, 2008 04:58 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I might have to bitch at the post office, it feels like... Unless I hardcore screwed up and transposed numbers in the PO box. Hmmm.

Well, if it doesn't show up by the 15th, I'll make you another, that's all.

	From: alabasterfalcon	Date: October 9th, 2008 05:00 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Except I can't type for crap and that's supposed to be fan...ya'll read the post! Don't judge me!

	From: icecreamprincss	Date: October 9th, 2008 05:12 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I dunno, I kinda like the way "fank wank" rolls off the tongue. :)

	From: narfzz	Date: October 9th, 2008 05:14 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I'm so glad I never ran into your mom when I worked for three years in the restaurant industry and trust me, there are many mom's like your mom out there. Except I try not to sass them but it's hard when logic doesn't work and they're on the rage.

Also LOL at the Twilight Widget.

	From: nohara_megami	Date: October 9th, 2008 05:20 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I posted the widget last night on mine, giving my flist full reign to laugh at me, so you posting it too makes me feel all kinds of better XD

	From: padawansguide	Date: October 9th, 2008 05:24 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I think I'm more excited to see your reaction to the Twilight movie than anything else! :-)

	From: robinmc	Date: October 9th, 2008 05:25 pm (UTC)		(Link)

After reading the Sonic story, I kinda have a giant girl-crush on your mom.

It also reminded me of the time I went to a Sonic drive-thru and sat at the window for ten minutes, waiting for one thing. I don't even remember what it was. What I do remember is that the girl was standing at the window, fiddling at the computer, and the entire time I was sitting there waiting, she did not even acknowledge my presence. When someone did finally speak to me, they had to ask me again what I'd ordered, and I had to wait even longer.

I can't bring myself to go back, even though I love their cheese coneys like whoa.

I am something of a hot fudge sundae connoisseur, and I have to say, I love theirs.

Hey, long time reader, first time poster, I hope this doesn't seem to random. >.< I know you said in your linkspam that the horrible "Renesmee Bella Stephenie" baby thing made you sad, so I just wanted to let you know that there's now a happy ending. You know, just in case you needed your faith in humanity restored again or something.

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 06:04 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Yeah, the original poster came and told me about it, which was a relief. That's really probably the best way for the situation to end up, really.

	From: teslaroo	Date: October 9th, 2008 06:08 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Your mom sounds like she'd get along with my dad.

During the primaries earlier this year, my parents (both in their 70's and both about 5 ft tall) and I saw Bill Clinton speak at PSU. We waited in the cold and rain for about 3 hours - this was just the line to get in the door.
Anyway, a bunch of college students in front of us kept letting their friends in the line. After they left about 10 people cut in front of us, my mom politely asked them not to do it again since we had been waiting so long. They looked at her, laughed, and turned away. My dad lost it and started yelling - "F-ing students think you run this goddamn place..." F this and F that. They were truly frightened and I stood there laughing.

The best part of the story - once the line started moving, a cop saw that my mom was having trouble walking. Ok, ok...I positioned her so the cop would see it hoping the following would happen.... The cop let us into the side entrance of the building ahead of everyone else. My dad said he wanted to flip off the kids in the line, but ended up holding back since the cop was right there.

I love my dad!

Okay, that trailer is almost exactly the same as the last one.

	From: cleolinda	Date: October 9th, 2008 06:26 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Really? Because a lot of the shots themselves looked new to me.

	From: labonnefille	Date: October 9th, 2008 06:24 pm (UTC)		(Link)

*Sigh* Every time I see a damn Twilight trailer, the itty bitty litter fangirl down inside, the one I try SO hard to keep immobilized goes all *SQUEEEEE* All over the place, and I have a huge mess to clean up.

I have a bad feeling about this. Lol

	From: moogleybacon	Date: October 9th, 2008 07:05 pm (UTC)		(Link)

LOL Mine, too. I'm really glad I'm not alone in this.
