We would drive down to the ocean as a family each year come May
And we would sit on the pier and drink sarsaparilla and fish off the pier.
Dad would sit in the car and listen to the radio
And we would catch fish and drink sarsaparilla
Mum would bait the hooks and smile and pour the drinks
And we would fish and drink
Dad in the car
Mum on the hooks, smiling
Dad would stick his head out the car window and yell; “Get me a fucking drink woman”
And mum would smile and dad would get his drink
And we would fish and drink sarsaparilla
And mum would smile and bait the hooks
And it was the saddest smile I ever saw....................
Been off sick for a while, so I will get around to you all and see what you have been up to.

That's not a happy time...sounds bittersweet at best.
Glad to see you back though :)
Bunny- Great fishing though ;)
Bittersweet indeed. Did you catch anything? Apart from cynicism....
A brave and proud woman.
I bet you love her
And you a learned fisherman---does that make you the Masterbaiter ?
(.)(.)-Cynicism, that’s a big word, did you have a weekend off the NOS? ; )
Clyde- No it just makes me a wanker.
Or owner operator
Bo.. Good to have you back! Trust you are feeling better.. This is a sad post obviously.. But it has victory as well.. you can set your mind to never allow it to happen again in your personal family.. You make a difference! love Tiff
Clyde- I prefer to use the services of a contractor.
Tiff- You’re right. Now get me a fucking drink woman ;) Things have heated up over at your place while I have been away. You and Spiky are going to burst my blood vessels at this rate.
It was a link to Ani Difranco - Not Angry Anymore.
US- Very appropriate. You’re a softy at heart ya big lug. How was the birthday?
Shhh don't tell; i work hard to cultivate the image of myself as a perverted creep.
Just posted on it. Great - and stress free (for me, Alex was a little rushed tho). Annalise is a lovely little girl and had a great time.
Sarsaparilla? No wonder you are fucked up.
As for you not baiting your own hooks....I thought that was the first law of fishing?
At least your father asked, my father, if he had to ask there was a beating to come for sure.
My father would rattle his ice and my mother would stop what she was doing and get his Martini, then go back to what she was doing. He came first, Always.
It wasn't until my step-father came along until I knew what a real father was. He was the best father I knew, even though he was my step-father.
im glad to cause a red blooded reaction in Bloggsville! its a SPIKY/Tiff combo.. And dont forget the Village Idiot... combos are good! especially surf and turf.. and dont forget the carpetbagger! please fetch me some Baileys! now!love Tiff
US- I hear you do a good tramp stamp.
Josh- I’m fucked up? Look who’s talking Paul Macurio.
Cat- Life lessons can come in many different forms. And I’ll have mine like Bond thanks love, Shaken not stirred.
Tiff- Baileys coming right up… How do you take it? With a dash of get your own bloody drink?
No wonder you're sick.
Who the fuck drinks sasparilla and fish ??

i've never been fishing. i would like to.
UN- I would love to see it...
Friday- Mine too. How are you by the way?
Jane- If you get me my drinks I will take you ;)
haha. can 18 years old buy beer is aussieland?
you're 29? i thought you were 45.
oops
Jane- Yep, You’re an alcoholic by 18 in Aussieland.
I’m 29; you must have been thinking of Fingers, he’s really old, like I think scientists just found a fossil footprint of his in the Northern Territory.
Jane: What are you laughing at, Cabbage ?? You SHOULD take up fishing...it might stop you twiddling your diddle for a few hours...
no.... i enjoy my Baileys when im lying down.. i lov it in my belly-button, with my lover taking his time to savour it, on his way down... love fetch the Baileys!!! love Tiff
ps. have a look at what happened at Janes after you left last night.. he he, and im introducing her to fingers.
Bo bo...that 8is sad. Though I've seen the same smile on mother many times. My father was a shit to her and she took it so many years.
I pampered her when I got older. Took her shopping and bought her expensive clothes, shoes and purses. The things she was not able to buy herself because she was raising us. I miss her and our times shopping and eating at restaurants. She had a beautiful smile and warm eyes.
So now I am crying.
Okay...I'm back. fingers be nice to jane. Plus there is no twiddling a diddle when one fishes.
She's a nice girl...and it was a funny. :D
Ciao Bo Bo...hey I didn't know you were 29 years old either.
Jane- Don’t mind fingers he’s what we call a bird of prey. But check out his blog cause for all his downfalls he’s a funny and intelligent prick.
Tiff-I don’t take my Baileys with belly-lint
Spiky- I do the same to my mum. But if you want a substitute you can pamper me anytime you want. Fine dinning restaurants only though.
How old do people think I am?
You guys are like my own personal warning labels...I'm quite sure Jane realises I was just twiddling her diddle...
Bo bo...I never really thought about it...about your age, that is.
And yes, only the best places for you babe. We will have our own waiter standing by ready to fill our every need. I love those places but sometimes I like a little privacy with my date. *wink* :D
Fingers babe...I would love to be your private warning label. And I'm sure jane knows that about you...and may soon be a devote member of the cult fingers.
I am.
Pssst, when do we sacrifice the virgins. I'll go pick them up and make sure they are virgins. :D
Ciao BO Bo.
Ciao Fingers...oh and hey, I have to give a shout out to my girl tiffany. Hey baby.
Fingers- We all know you twiddle something
Spiky- Well you reserve a table at Spago and I’m there.
spiky you can sacrifice me
Jane- I’m going to leave that one alone.
Jen- You know its going downhill when the comments are better than the actual post. Feeling better?
The comments are not better than the post, my dear.

=)
Hey Bo.. Thanks mate. I might have me one too.
And can I just say that ooof cooourse 'she' likes chocolate starfish. Dont 'they' all.
Pls stop now Bo, yr hurting my head.
; )
My parents were something like that, except Mom would spend every waking moment trying to get us all to ally with her against Dad. Dad would pretend to ignore the hate and just go on with things as if he didn't care. When he was old and mellow she took the opportunity to go from passive/aggressive to straight up aggressive bitch. Then he died. Now she's all bitter because he's gone. People just make no sense.
Sad story and great inspiration to not repeat history with your own child.
