Dude Trip

I have a very good friend that had a very bad week last week - very bad. I have tried to make it a point to talk to him every day and let him know that I am here for him if he needs anyone, and also, just to make sure that he is coping okay. He has got a super dooper great sense of humor so I was relieved when he was finally joking with me some on Wednesday. When I called him on Thursday I got his voice mail, so I left him a message that I was checking in on him and to please call me back. On Friday I did the same, but still had not heard back from him. I called him again Friday night and he finally answered the phone, to which he was greeted with me telling him to not ever worry me like that again and to answer his damn phone when I am calling to check up on him!!!

He told me sorry and that a couple of his friends were going up to Ikea near Washington D.C. (three hours from here) and had invited him to go, so that he could get out of the house. In my head I was thinking that it was a friend of his and that guy’s girlfriend or even his girlfriend, but it was not. It was just three dudes taking a road trip to Ikea. I started laughing uncontrollably and could not stop. He asked me what the hell was so funny and I told him that his “dude trip” to Ikea is what was so damn funny. What straight guys do that together? I told him that it would be a cold day in HELL before Todd called up Adam and Big Kev and asked if they were down for a road trip to Ikea. He and the other guys in the car did not see the problem with it and he told me he hated me and hung up on me. I made it a point to send him a text message yesterday morning that said “A bunch of the guys are planning a road trip to Crate & Barrel - you in?” He responded by telling me he still hates me and that he was going to beat my ass. I texted him back and asked how? By beating me with some coordinated throw pillows from Ikea? He again stated that he hated me. Which he does not, because seriously, who could?

But really, am I wrong in seeing the humor in that whole dude trip thing?

Too damn funny I have been laughing since ballet when you told us. Hey ask him if he wants to join us for leotard and tutu shopping.
Posted by Brandy on 2007-09-17 20:13:05 FANTASTICO! Funny! I sent the Beetle to IKEA this past weekend (while I stayed home with the wee Cesar) and I thought he was going to go into convulsions before he left. He calls it "the store from hell" and will only go if I agree to sexual favors.
Posted by Betty on 2007-09-17 19:06:58 You're not wrong... That's very "metro"
Posted by Atomic Bombshell on 2007-09-17 16:30:46 LMAO - now that is funny!
Posted by ErinC on 2007-09-17 16:25:07 Adam just called. He wanted me to find out if Todd wanted to go antiquing this weekend since you and I will be doing the rugged camping thing with the kids. He mentioned staying at a Bed and Breakfast Inn somewhere near C'ville. Let me know if Todd is down for it.
Posted by Dena on 2007-09-17 13:21:00 Where did they go for lunch? a Tea Room? did they wear matching shirts? LMAO!
Posted by MissPrissy on 2007-09-17 11:00:51 totally not a typical dude trip. maybe they are just really in touch with their feminine side!
Posted by shelly on 2007-09-17 10:49:08 A dude trip is okay, but a dude trip to IKEA....priceless! LOL
Posted by Sweet Yet Sassy on 2007-09-17 10:32:51 I'd be ragging on him for weeks!
Posted by Tasha on 2007-09-17 09:42:24 My first thought was gay as well, but, could you ask them to pick me up another bookcase while they are there?
Posted by justbeachy on 2007-09-17 09:07:49 I re-read that sentence 4 times!! I seriously thought IKEA where you live must be the name of a town, because my hubby would rather have a root canal than go to IKEA.... especially of his own free will!
Posted by Bev on 2007-09-17 08:58:02 Hahaha! You are sooo not wrong;-)
Posted by Catlin on 2007-09-17 04:07:35 HAH, I laughed out. Too funny.
Posted by Liz on 2007-09-17 01:43:04 hey, sign me up for the crate and barrel trip!
Posted by daniel on 2007-09-17 01:01:41 Funny as hell. Bur and his friends do that gay ass shit all the time. I take it as a reason to get away from me, which I can totally understand.
Posted by Peggy on 2007-09-17 01:01:08 Maybe they were in in for the meatballs. ;) Seriously though, they're gay.
