"Holly, this is your mother, and now this is VERY important. PAT SUMMITT's gonna be on Jay Leno tonight. Do you need me to tape it for you and mail it to you? Please tell me again what your new address will be. I'm updating my address book for when I'm SUMMERING on the CONTINENT. Doesn't that just sound glamorous? Are you sure you won't meet us in Geneva? Just think about it. I hope you're recovered from the donkey tequila wrestler event. Remember, it's lick, shake, lick, drink, suck. Near as I can recall. Happy Earth Day, honey. Bye-bye, now."
That kinda ruled, except you never really want to hear your mom use the words lick and suck in the same sentence.
Posted by: Uncle MO at April 23, 2007 07:40 AMWow. There is no way your mother, anybody's mother actually wrote that.
Posted by: Hank Scorpio at April 23, 2007 08:48 AMHave I told you lately, that I love
your Mom?
Hank--you are correct, sir. It was a voicemail.

Un. real.

Posted by: Holly at April 23, 2007 12:16 PMThat message is unequivocally holly's mom.
though I am surprised at the lack of a cherry coke reference.
still, Very much the materfamilias Anderson.
I prefer to think of it as her growing up with us. Now instead of Cherry Coke, it's Patron.
Posted by: Holly at April 23, 2007 12:32 PMWell it would explain... well a lot really.
Posted by: Hank Scorpio at April 23, 2007 12:35 PMIf that ain't your mom then I'll just pretend my shoulder isn't still bruised from seeing Fellowship of the Ring.
But it's so totally her.
Posted by: Big Daddy at April 23, 2007 01:44 PMBEST. FAKE. EMAIL. ADDRESS. EVER.
Seriously, game over. Topping Joy's previous record of "tadpole@swimforyourlife.sea", with a bullet. Jesse Motherfucking Williams, ladies and gentlemen.
Posted by: Holly at April 23, 2007 01:54 PMSqueee!!! Danke.
Posted by: Big Daddy at April 23, 2007 06:49 PMAll right, now you're just showing off.
Posted by: Holly at April 23, 2007 09:59 PMthat was quite underwhelming - I wanted to (1) confirm that that is, in fact, your mother and (2) ask if I could meet her in Geneva, and instead I find out that my record's been broken and I've been writing a paper for 16 consecutive hours so I'm in no shape to come up with anything new ... my life is in shambles.
