Alex and I did not have the money to buy the photo of the two of us on the roller coaster in Vegas<\/a> (you know how they take pictures of you AS you hurtle by, upside down and screaming?) We had had to put our money in a locker (story at 10 – there are so many stories to tell) – and so we had no cash on us …<\/p>\n

but seriously … Alex and I saw the photo, got one glimpse of it – and we were DONE. The two of us were staggering around, CRYING with laughter, HOWLING, guffawing, weeping, gasping, clutching at each other, wheezing …<\/p>\n

It’s one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life. I … I … I … I am speechless. No I’m not.<\/p>\n

Sadly, there is no record of this photo except in our minds.<\/p>\n

Oh, and Shannon sat alone in the car behind us – and in her photo she is pretty much curled up in a fetal position -she has been reduced to a flash of lime green – and streaming hair. No face.<\/p>\n

In our photo – I am leaning forward, eyes closed, and my BREASTS! My breasts are (joke for Mitchell) SPILLIN’ OOTA my top. I look absolutely obscene. I am a florid Jayne Mansfield racing by overhead in the Vegas sky. And yet – my face is a wincing mania of terror. I am gripping onto the front of the car.<\/p>\n

And beside me … is Alex. She is sitting straight up. She is screaming AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS. And yet (and this, for me, is almost the funniest part): her eyes are open. She looks like a caricature of a screaming person. Her eyes bugging out, her mouth cavernous. I can’t get the image of her face out of my mind. I am laughing out loud right now typing this.<\/p>\n

But the best part … the best part of all …<\/p>\n

is that Alex is wearing her “Liza shirt” (go read the link in the post below to see what I’m talking about) – it’s a white sweatshirt, with a massive colorful drawing of Liza on the front of it. The expression on Liza’s face is like this.<\/a> Liza’s face takes up all of Alex’s torso. Liza’s spiky eyelashes are as long as my fingers.<\/p>\n

But anyway – in the roller coaster photo – as Alex sits there, screaming, like a caricature of a screaming person (I am shaking with laughter) … you can see the top half of Liza’s head peeking up over the roller coaster car<\/i>. You can see the crazy huge Liza eyes coming up over the bar<\/i> Alex is gripping onto as we fly through the air.<\/p>\n

Alex and I stood there at the photo counter, money-less, staring and staring at that photo, downloading it into our brains, knowing we were looking at some kind of strange pinnacle of comedy …<\/p>\n

My stomach still hurts from how hard we laughed.<\/p>\n

And I completely blew my voice out screaming for Liza and screaming on the roller coaster. I now sound like Demi Moore with the flu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
