The adventures of Hillary and Michelle
“Funny story, Hillary. Yesterday I found a secret stash in one of the White House cabinets that they said hadn’t been used since you and Bill lived there….
“I mean, this was some twisted stuff! I’m talking about a 1.75 liter bottle of creme de menthe, an old VHS set of the entire “Yogi Bear” cartoon series, an ‘I’M WITH STUPID’ t-shirt, a case of Hostess Twinkies…”
“That’s SO embarrassing, Michelle! I thought we got rid of all that crap. Can you just toss it out? Except send the Twinkies to me. At my office, of course.”
“Sure thing, Hillary. Listen, you know that really nice scented White House soap? Do they like make us finish it before we get a new bar?
“Are you kidding, Michelle? You can just keep hiding it in a drawer, and they replace it, up to three bars a day! And don’t even ask me how many White House towels we’ve got!”
“No way! You’re a BAD girl! I still can’t believe we get to use all the ketchup we want and they don’t even bill us! You can’t beat that with a stick!”
“Say Michelle, does that green light mean the microphone is off, or on?”

Oh my gosh Baz you almost gave me away! I’m sitting at my desk giggling like a maniac and people are wondering why. I had to make something up.
E.
You had me at I’M WITH STUPID T-shirt.
This post is (get ready) Hill-arious.
I think you captured the essence of politics in the U.S. perfectly Mr. B.!

Wouldn’t it be funny if they were exchanging stories and cracking each other up about their favorite Oddly Enough blog posts?
“Did you read the one about…?”
“No way. Did Robert Basler really say that? That’s too funny. BTW, did you read the OE post about…?”
Very nice, Spinster, I like the way you think. I’m gonna go ahead and presume you got it exactly right.
I am surprised Michelle did not come across the box of Presidental cigars!
Zing!
Gee, I thought they were talking about Rahm Emanuel naked in the shower. Wait, that was the conversation in my head…
Get help, kgolden, I’m begging you….
I saw the movie! ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion!’
What? I can’t watch goofy movies? Where else would I get my inspirations from?
I don’t think Michelle invented post it notes. Or was it Romy that claimed that? I mean, being in the Power Seats of the US of A doesn’t leave time for this, does it?
Oh! Hillary and Michelle!
Boy, is my face red! And my expression confused!
Michelle: “I just farted.”
Hillary: “Me too!”
(Come on, it made the guys smile.)
Well CAM, I think you just hit rock bottom. I’m not saying I didn’t laugh….
“And he was like…”
Hillary: Did you see Sarkozy do that?
Michelle: I did!! Oh, but look, Carla with that musician guy… !!
Hillary: Guess, its mutual then!
@justCAM: LOL that was nice
Well…It actually looks like Michelle made a rude joke so Hillary had to blush and hide her laughter… so ANY rude joke would do here
I don’t get it. I thought your blogs were just fictional reinterpretations. This strikes me as oddly (enough) realistic.
I’m with you on this one, Bandage… I am very concerned about the hostess twinkies, especially as they provide a disloyal competition to Robert’s doughnuts! And, judging from the giggles in the pictures, they are equally effective. Beware, Robert, competition coming your way!
RB supplied the twinkies!
Michelle looks like she probably snorts when she laughs, Hilary is hiding her embarrassment.

Snort snort!!
I snarf, myself. Come on, doesn’t a lot of you snarf? It’s like a snort, only more Americanish.
Y’all don’t snarf? Well…snort, then!
I try not to unca, however you spell it.
Snarfing is a big part of my life, Knitty!
