This is my best friend Tracy.  She is the funniest person I know. Yeah I said it.   Often I feel the need to share her antics with friends and strangers.  And I say I'd share them if only had a blog....

oh, this?
 
 

 
It's a bit disappointing that someone made our life plan into a movie: live together in a beautiful house in California, raise two awesome kids as our contribution to a better future and then hook up with men. Really strips away the originality. However, we just went out to LA to scope it out. There were many creative babies from this trip but this is my favourite (I know, so British). The Strapicorn. Tracy will wear a strap-on unicorn style. We will then rent this penetrating pony out for parties. Sorry midgets con nacho sombreros, we got you beat. In Venice beach, one can sell a kick in the ass for $1. We are going to make our millions.
Here is a visual mock up to wet your appetites.

Tracy's loving family threw her a surprise birthday party in June.  Despite the planning and efforts, Tracy figured it out and walked in yelling SURPRISE.  Jerk.  What she DIDN'T know is that her sisters also arranged for a drag Beyonce to come perform a few numbers.  Tracy can't resist the Single Ladies dance, joined in and showed her up...

in march of 2010, not an hour into her happy hour, tracy accepted a challenge.  she would arm wrestle her roommate.  despite her above-average physical abilities, the result was a broken funny bone.  this wasn't just a stress fracture.  it was a butterfly.  it was one long and painful weekend before surgery. an 8 inch scar. months of PT. fear she'd never be able to play her banjo with her strong hand again. doctors told her she may never fully recover.  but with the help of the over the top soundtrack, she now has full range of motion in her right arm.  strum away!!

Hi Dad-

How are you fairing without your lady?
What have you been eating for dinner?
What time have you been going to bed?
Love you.
Tracy (your favorite)

From: DAD
To: Tracy

Barely surviving on leftovers …similar to Oliver … “  may I have more porridge …Please ?”
Bed time for Bonzo (me) is late (12:00-1:00 p.m.) after a night staring mindlessly at programs that are constantly interrupted by people who are awash in Viagra and Cialis ads (doing laundry, raking leaves ) they are overcome with desire or at least one is and they drift off.  These commercials are almost as bad as the singing cats advertising the lotto.  I hope your work engages your viewers in thought and possibly discussion because the vast  wasteland of TV is turning us all into a nation of nitwits.  To avoid slipping into a mindless stupor I watch the METS.
Love you ,
Dad
From: Tracy
To: DAD

hahaha. are you on your third day of pork loin? if so your hands must be mad swollen.
is there a pizza stop run in your near future?
drive carefully.
love you dad.
oh and dad i cant believe you dont enjoy a singing pussy.
From: DAD
To: Tracy 
 
I can’t bring myself to eating the pork loin.  Your mother will not be happy but she didn’t pack any up and bring it to Maine.  What does that tell you ?  I am eating tomatoes and chicken casserole.  Jealous ? Are you drooling ?  I will manage .

Thanks for thinking of me .
Love you,
Dad

From: Tracy
To: DAD

you should just throw it out and tell her you ate it. or maybe you can make a meat dress out of it much like the one lady ga ga wore to the MTV video music awards. or at least just the hat. meat hat.
Im actually extremely jealous of the tomatoes but moreso of the chicken caserole. that is one of my faves.
i drool quite regularly dad.
talk to you tomorrow.
love you,
the best thing that ever happened to you 30 years 3 months and 2 days ago.  

From: Tracy
To: DAD

no response on the meat hat?
come dad. i know you love lady gaga.
and speaking of mindless TV i watched the jersey shore last night. i think you would really love it.
pauly d would make a great son-in-law.
love you.

From: DAD
To: Tracy
 

You should be viewing Masterpiece Theatre or the Discovery Channel. Viewing that show you mention causes your brain to atrophy.  Try Reading instead. Reading helps to keep the brain you have left to grow and remain useful.
The characters from that show have talented agents who keep them in the news .   They offer no value to society. They are not engaged in positive service to others.  Fred Rogers said “Life is for Service” and we should be celebrating those who serve others not those that serve only themselves.You might be better off watching the singing cats sell the lotto.

Dad

From: Tracy
To: DAD

without the jersey shore i would have never learned about the tax obama put on tanning or that the staten island ferry is free (and everybody gets a ride). i would rather watch paint dry then view the masterpeice theater, no offense dad. i think to say that they offer no "value to society" is a bit harsh. im sure if there was film crew capturing your college years on camera thousand of veiwers would tune in each week to witness your shananigans. and i think we can both agree that while you may have not been fist pumping or changing all of your "o"'s to "aw"s when tawking you definitely were causing trouble and even WORSE, speaking through your nose. Remember frank your pet pig who was later roasted by campus police after he was discovered living in your frat house.

Smiling plays a huge role in my daily life. nothing feels better than laughing/smiling. And sometimes that occurs at the expense of someone else. These jersey shore people are geniuses, if you ask me. they have branded themselves and become a pop culture phenomenon. you ask why? by simply being themselves. and in doing so making people smile. i know you enjoy smiling. in fact i think you enjoy it more these days without the extra weight on your upper lip.
you shouldnt judge, dad.  judging is for jesus.

Hallelujah !
I knew you would find religion .  I thought it might be in a church or house of worship.  Your dissertation, defending the folks you view and seemingly admire, confirms for me that you should be in Graduate School. Your thesis , defending these people, is worthy of graduate credits.  Please consider applying for Graduate School and put all of that talent to use.Meanwhile …my college years were distinguished.  I behaved appropriately and with decorum.  I was often in the company of those who did not and the stories about me over the years have been embellished by these associations.  I was as they say…a victim of circumstance …much beyond my control.Have a good weekend..
Love,
Dad

Tracy confronts her Dad (and Mom).  Background: Tracy has two awesome sisters who each have one lovely baby- Luke and Serena.

From: Tracy Heppeler
To: DAD
Cc: MOM
Subject: I am
legitimately upset that you bought two people who cannot even say the word FOOTBALL a box in your superbowl pool and not your own single, un-wed, daughter who bares NO CHILDREN.

I see I have been replaced.
It doesn’t feel nice….so as revenge intend to get knocked up and we can all go on jerry springer to reveal who the father is.

From: DAD
To: Tracy Heppeler
Cc: MOM
Subject: RE: I am

Easy does it.  I got you a box in our $20.00 pool.  Given your unbelievable luck with these in the past you could stand to win $500.00.  Princess Serena and King Luke are in the $5.00 pool and only stand to win $100.00  So …confess your sins , brush your teeth and hope for the best.

Love
Dad

Hi Dad- How are you? How is life?
How long do you have off for vacation? DO YOU like mommy's Uggs? Love you,
Tracy

 
From: DAD
To: Tracy
Subject: RE: Hi


I’m fine. Uggs are ugly.  I can’t believe a fashonista like your mother would purchase such utilitarian footwear.  One of her great assets among many is her legs.  These boots hide these assets.  They do not support the foot properly and pronation inward or outward is prominent for many women that wear them.  They look “knock kneed” when they walk in these things.  Your mother is one of the few women I know that can pull off wearing Uggs and not look foolish.
 I start vacation December 24, 2009 and return to work January 4, 2010. Love  Dad

that is all you have to say? do you think the food looks good?

From: DAD
To: Tracy
Subject: Serafina
Nice awnings.  We haven't dined there.  People we have seen eating in and outside the restaurant seem to be smiling  from their  dining experience or maybe they are suppressing  or releasing gas.

Tracy's favorite tutu caught fire...


Tracy sent this birthday e-mail to her friends and family.

This picture shows Tracy's disappointment that the nude male model is not of Spanish descent.  Her birthday is June 27.

Tracy submitted this bio to be printed in a newsletter that was distributed to her entire department.  At the time of publication, she was a temp employee.  She has since been offered a permanent job.  I think it is due to her banjo skills...


Occasionally, Tracy will forward me e-mails between her and her parents.

Spell Wen like the growth?  How are you?  How is life?  I see Aunt Susie and Uncle Dick this weekend.  Love you.
To: Tracy Heppeler
Subject: RE: how do you
Wen is the spelling.  Do you have one?  Enjoy the weekend with your relatives.  I’m busy with school and trying to make moves on your mother (exhausting).  Love you and don’t forget to brush your “freaky teeth”.   Dad

EW DAD.  Scott has two WEN’s on his elbows.  Love YOU!
To: Tracy Heppeler
Subject: RE: how do you
They are probably job related (leaning on his elbows as he makes money on the computer). He will need to be careful so that they don’t turn into the MRSA  infection (a staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics) This infection has made the news lately and has affected a number of students in colleges and schools. If found early (pimples that look like wens and ooze pus ) these can be treated with a strong regimen of antibiotics and cured. If not caught early enough MRSA has killed the people infected.  So…….Scott will need to stay off his elbows and use the trapeze in his apartment.    Love, Dad
