Missing

We would like you to be on the look out for a missing period.

Answers to the names "Aunt Flo", "Red", and "Yokes".

The missing period was expected back home sometime early this week, but as of yet has not turned up.

The last reported sighting was early April 2008.

The uncertainty as to the whereabouts of the missing period is causing great distress to it's owner.

Described as moody and bitchy, with an affinity for chocolate and doritos, the period is similar in appearance to a gaping head wound.

Should you encounter this missing period, do not approach it. It is considered highly dangerous and volatile.
Do not attempt to converse with it, do not attempt to apprehend it, and most certainly do not attempt to send it home, or you'll have me to deal with.

Should you see this missing period please go directly to the appropriate authorities, even though my mind hasn't quite worked out who they should be in this little verbalised meltdown.

As a result, feel free to use your own imagination, as mine, it appears, has broken it's leash.

When science can't get the job done quick enough, it's nice to know that a phone call to "some people" to make a "certain someone" go camping for a long time still works. I hope that duct tape holds.

Misty said...

Well... here is to hoping that it stays gone... At least for three quarters of a year, or so...

Ashley said...

I second misty.

People in the Sun said...

Ha! If you think the period is moody and bitchy, wait 'till you see what she's like without it.

Good luck.

Kori said...

You fucker, I found it! TOTALLY teasing...I hope it stays lost. And I think there is just something slightly strange about the fact that I have been praying for you guys. Perhaps I need to spend less time in blogland.

Marylin said...

Ooh well good luck there - hope she stays away! ;)

Mr Lady said...

Yes, I would also like you to know that my cycles has totally synced with your wife's. And mine is here now. And hers isn't?

ARE YOU GUYS YOUKNOWWHAT?

It's like says Voldemort over here, you know? We're all afraid to do it.

Tara R. said...

Aren't you glad you left the bread crumbs home? Don't make eye contact, maybe it'll stay missing. Good luck!

Karen MEG said...

I think Aunt Flo's visits are highly overrated and she should stay with another relative for a good ten months at least. Never my favourite relative anyway.

Fingers crossed tightly for you guys!!!

Jason Roth said...

Let's hope that missing period is lost for a good 9 months or so.

Madam Crunchypants said...

Mine went missing for about 18 months. It was lovely! I certainly hope your (erm, hers) stays missing for a goodly time.

Fingers crossed

Hilary (Maya Papaya) said...

Good lord, I am all a-twitter with excitement and anticipation. When are you guys gonna test again?

I hope to goodness I find it. I am in desperate need of one right now.

I'm hoping mine goes missing this month too. Maybe hers is on her way across the big pond to hook up with mine next week and they're gonna do some kind of Thelma & Louise remake.

Sorry...head cold + medicine = strange ideas!

Wicked Step Mom said...

I know that it is against blog-ediquete to post LOL in your first post but I am sorry in this case, I have to do it.

LOL

Thanks for that, I needed it today. Here's to it staying gone! Good luck!

We have her here. Moo is holding her captive. And none too happy about it either.

I have bribed her with chocolate to hold on to her for a while and then pass her on to her friends...

Oooooh, I hope I hope I hope... you know what I hope, I can't say it out loud, it is like birthday wishes.

Crossing all the usual and any other potentially crossable body parts I can manage. GOOD LUCK wishes are serious business over here after that post.

Studiously NOT thinking about it. However, if it comes my way, I will be sure to trap it in a box and keep it here for the better part of a year, okay?

Keeping everything crossed that the old witch stays away for oh, say 36 weeks or so...

Jared said...

I'm bettin' Aunt Flo mouthed off about her persistence over the past year or so and Spencer and all his buddies ganged up and beat the living shit out of her...hopefully she's banged up and bloody lying in an alley somewhere and Spencer was able to successfully score!

Hopin' for the best!
