If you've read my blog for awhile you know that I am not a chick flick-type chick. I love action movies and books. After all, I'm married to a retired Marine and my son is a former Marine and relatives are Marines also. My brother-in-law is a professor at the War College in Pennsylvania.
I read a book several months ago and started laughing immediately. Now, this wouldn't be remarkable except this wasn't a book of humor; it was a murder mystery. Let me tell you about it.
These 2 guys—cops— are looking for a certain bad guy. The main character, one of the cops, in the book—let's call him Bill—goes into an old barn where some bikers have their Harleys and asks for a certain guy. Of course, none of the bikers will give their buddy away since this is obviously a cop looking for one of the bikers. They act tough, talk tough, threaten Bill, and then they hear a noise.
Somewhere outside the door someone is humming the Ghostbusters theme. The bikers seemed a bit confused at that. Then the door bursts open and in walks this guy looking like a ghostbuster with a flame thrower. (I'm laughing so hard just typing this I can hardly type.) He points the flamethrower at a wall of lockers inside the barn and incinerates the whole wall. The bikers try to look and sound tough and then the ghostbuster turns his flamethrower outside the door where their Harleys are and incinerates one of the Harleys. They give up their friend faster than slick on snot. (Forgive me, but I love when the bad guys whimper!) Then all but the one wanted biker get on their Harleys and get out of there faster than a 747 jet airliner. Bill and the flame throwing ghostbuster—a cop also— look at each other and Bill said: "Was it something we said?"
I laughed so hard I barely made it to the bathroom. I loved that book! :-)

This dining set is adorable. Love the way she has enchanting pillows on the chairs.
Who could resist such a lovely florist?
A darling home with roses-covered picket fence.
This could be a place on a side street of Carmel.
My absolutely favorite food—donuts!
Sparkly covered boxes.
Another darling cottage with pond.
Simple eye candy.
Love these rose wreaths.
Not sure what it is but it's cute.
A place to dream and dream about.
Beautiful decorated bottles.
I know it's not usually snowing this time of year, but isn't this scene gorgeous?
A secret place.
I'd take this chair in a heartbeat!
Goodness me, Connie! What a book!
ReplyDeleteI loved the photos today, so many pretty things especially the little heart.
Oh Connie - You made me laugh out loud just repeating that part of your book. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Paula
