I’ve got a problem

… and it’s your mom.

See, I’m in the kitchen looking for food, and my phone buzzes. I look at it and say aloud, “What?? Your mom’s got low battery!”

I realized, right then and there, that I’ve got to stop talking about your mom. Clearly, your mom isn’t even funny – in fact, your mom probably wasn’t funny when I started using it. Oh, it was always in inane circumstances (of the “your mom went to college!” variety, never insulting), but if I don’t get off your mom soon, people are going to start associating me with your mom.

And that’s not good.

So here I am, pledging honestly, right here and now, that I’m going to try to get off your mom for once and for all. It may be difficult, but I owe it to myself.

You have to do your part, though – when you stop laughing at your mom, I’ll stop bringing your mom up. Deal?

  1. I got your mom off last night….

    Ahem. Sorry. I have a friend that does the “your mom” thing nonstop, from the incredibly crude to the highly nonsensical (“your mom is a serotonin precursor!”), so I just associate it with good times. I’m giggling as we speak.

  2. I’ll admit it, I never get tired of your mom and Chuck Norris. When I play Warcraft, I’m always that asshole who makes crude “your mom” jokes.

    “Where can I find troll juju?”
    “Your mom.”

    “Where is the Lakkari Tar Pit”
    “Your mom.”

    Then again, I’m also the person who convinced some noob that the only way to get wool was to don a [Colorful Kilt] and arm yourself with [Mithril Shears] and steal the sheep from these pig things in a really tough dungeon. Total lies. =)

  3. I *lurve* Your Mom jokes, but not the stupid ones you see on that TV show with that kid from the 70’s show. Those aren’t so funny.

    You had Jer and Brendan giggling at the meeting. :D You should be proud.

  5. I read this, while returning to this window, as “Your mom is buzzing, and snerked a little. Guess I’m an enabler.

  6. I never used to do your mom, until I met Ashley. She and her brother did your mom all the time–but the rule was that it couldn’t be crude, and the more non-sensical, the better. Eventually I started to join in doing your mom. Though the idea of a brother and sister constantly doing your mom with each other was funny to me.

  7. my kickball team takes offense at your over-use of our team name!

    Also, V loves the your mom jokes.

    • *grin* My icon is my response to your kickball team!

      (do you really play kickball? And what the heck -is- kickball, anyway?)

      • Yes, I am co-captain of a co-ed kickball team that plays in a recreational, social league on Saturdays. There are about 24 teams in the league. The concept is baseball except instead of hitting a small white ball, you roll and kick a large rubberized ball. It is high in fun and low in stress b/c we’re adults playing a game made for elementary school playgrounds. Drinking ensues after the game. It’s perfect. Your Mom is currently 1-3. I play First Base.

          That… is priceless. And suddenly, with your explanation, I recall kickball, and that it was my favorite game in elementary.

          Awesome.

  8. I admit to overuse of your mom jokes. It’s been just a few weeks since I’ve attempted to distance myself from my mom addiction, and I’ve only slipped once or twice. I refuse, however, to give up “dude!”
