jerr bear’s dead, man…(a throwback)

you know what i miss about having a normal job (or at least a job with somewhat normal hours)? daytime tv…springer in particular. but ya know what i’m discovering? i don’t NEED springer…i have my FRIENDS. check out these two tales from folks i know, and tell me what you think. something tells me the comment section on this one will be REALLY fun to read…

keep in mind, the only thing these two people have in common is the fact that i know both of them. no names will be mentioned, and if i’ve told any of you these before, keep the names to yourself. but tell me these aren’t springer-worthy…

who’s your auntie?

so check THIS one out…the other day a friend of mine and her significant other were discussing names…and it seemed he ALMOST got a rare, biblical one, but his mom changed her mind at the last minute. said the rare biblical one was his real dad’s name, but since his parents relationship hadn’t outlasted the pregnancy, his mom went another way with what she called him. “how odd,” my friend replied, because she knew someone with that exact same name and biblical spelling. then they compared last names, and a few more notes, and figured out it was her boyfriend’s estranged father that they were BOTH speaking of. and she knew him because he had married what, at the time, was her sister-in-law. for those of you who can follow southern genealogy (which down here family tree branches cross more times than highways in san antonio) that would make my friend her own boyfriend’s AUNT. and if they ever decide to have kids, that would make their dad AND their second cousin the same person…and their mom and their great aunt the same person. now, who wants to squeal like a pig?

but does this beat it?

but i LOVE her, jerry

another friend of mine got a call from her older brother one day and he needed to talk. he said he was all broken up because he was pretty damn sure his girlfriend was cheating on him. she consoled him, and was basically the supportive sister. what she DIDN’T mention was that his girlfriend was cheating on him…with HER. after a bit, she decided to share her brother’s girlfriend with her own boyfriend and they basically entered into a three-way relationship. that was when the girl dumped my friend’s brother officially; and then a week later my FRIEND got dumped by both her brother’s ex AND her boyfriend so the two of them could stay together, leaving my match making / match destroying friend to be by her lonesome. follow all that?

so, which seems more springer-esque to you?

for the record, i wasn’t saying to spot which story i’d SEEN on springer…these are both real, red. and i kinda felt bad…on the first one, the poor girl called me to ask how she should handle her man’s reaction to all this…he was acting upset with her because the father HE never knew his woman had spent all the major holidays with for a few years…and I’M the one who pointed out the family tree connection. so now, when he asks, “who’s your daddy?” in bed, she can honestly reply, “your uncle lester”. for the record, i ALSO gave her the advice she came for…see, i’m not a TOTAL prick.
