Greetings amigos, I am going on vacation to a little place called Mexico. Mrs. Shife and I are heading down to a town right on the Pacific Ocean called Puerto Penasco or Rocky Point. One of our favorite bands in the whole wide world, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (formerly The Refreshments), performs a concert there twice a year and we figured it is our time to do it.
So I will be on the beach for three fabulous days working on my tan, rocking out, destroying my liver, and listening to my wife justify why she needs to go on another shopping spree. It is going to be awesome. Play nicely while I am gone and I will be back Monday with a Mexican hangover and hopefully some cool photos. As Mr. Clyne so eloquently states, "My second home is a third world cantina."

ReplyDeleteI have a friend flying dwon from caldwell, Idaho today. Hope we can exchange links. Looks like you have a nice sense of humor, or at least articulate it better than me.
Have fun, drink rediculous amounts of liquor.. Oh and you'll probably want to get a smaller sombrero (SIC?) though.
ReplyDeleteGood idea Fiona. The big brain on Mr. Shife isn't that big. I will probably have to switch them to make sure the cash and prizes don't get burned.
ReplyDeleteWell I just didn't want to come right out and tell you, but it looks like you've encountered the amazing head-shrinking tribe of the Owhyees and they have done irreversible damage.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe you are right. My penis is incredibly small but I have ginormous testicles.
ReplyDeleteI was referring to your melon, but it sounds like you are pretty well balanced out. Maybe you should bring a banana hammock as a back-up.
ReplyDeleteAdvantage Fiona. I bow to you.
ReplyDeletecool have fun! i was in Mexico as a little girl and the only thing I remember is being on my dads shoulders and sticking my tongue out at some begger guy and throwing a grape at him.
ReplyDeleteHave fun. Don't drink the water.
ReplyDeletetell the Mrs. to Barter!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a life you have there amigo. Goof off at work all day and then fly off to another country to accomplish more of the same. Do I sound jealous? That's probably only because I AM.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, The Duck. Who could you possibly be?
ReplyDeleteI'm super jealous, have fun.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Game 2 is Oswalt's
I don't know. It's pretty hush hush and all that you know.
ReplyDeleteEn-joy! We'll keep an eye on the NLCS from here for you.
ReplyDeletebon voyage my friend. have a margarita for me. i'm uber jealous. oh and thanks for getting this song stuck in my head. i will now return the favor...
ReplyDeleteI don't wanna go to Mexico no more, more, more
There's a big fat policeman at the door, door, door.
If he grabs you by the collar, boy ya better holla.
I don't wanna go to Mexico no more, more more.
Caio!
You boys want to go to MEXIIIIICOOOOOOOOO???
ReplyDeleteHeh. Have a great time and for God's sakes don't eat the worm. I beg of you, do not eat the worm.
P.S. - Last time I was in Mexico, I saw this big mutha of a Texan do an eight second Tequilia stand. It was awesome.
Have fun, enjoy the sun.:)
ReplyDeleteHave fun. Wish I was going, but I think my employer would frown on a fourth vacation this year.
ReplyDeleteGive the beach a hug for me and drink many O XX cerva too...have fun hanging out with your wang out!
ReplyDeleteYou and the Mrs. will have a blast...I love the Refreshments so sing on the top of you lungs to the "Boise" song for me...
Ay-carrumba!!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about mexico are the pee-in-the-pool bars...
its cleaner to drink than the tap water...
Have a lot of el-fun-o!
Drink a few beers for me Mr. Shife.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and fun trip
So jealous. Wish I could go, but you know work, school, etc. Come back with some fun stories. There should be some because those guys always put on a good show.
ReplyDeleteAye Dios mio! We were posting pictures of Mexicans at the same time! Except I was making fun of them...
ReplyDeleteParty semi-hard dude!
ReplyDeleteMay gut be small, your opportunities with Mrs Shife ever-plentiful.
May she be caught up in 'second-honeymoon-itus' and may your bowel movements be regular and peaceful like.
Oh...and whose looking after the dog

Love the Refreshments. While you're down there, drink the water. I think it would be an interesting experiment and become material for great blog storytelling.
ReplyDeleteVaya con Dios.
Have a great time, MrShife. Mrs Shife...go shopping all you want, you deserve it being married to this guy.
ReplyDeleteYou're not going to make use of sombreros like the guy in your picture, are you?
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Mexico.
ReplyDeleteBring on the tequila and sombreros! See you there;)
why do i keep checking your blog? i KNOW you are away...i'm an addict i guess
ReplyDelete:(( I wanna go to Mexico! So how was it? You meet any hot senoritas?
ReplyDeleteHave fun, bro. drink a Dos Equis for me.
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican Hat Dance?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a blast, Shife. But then, I'm sure for you that goes without saying... ;)
