Dangerous Abbreviations
In the middle of the week , in the midst of a flurry of FB Messenger messages, the idea was brought forward, that we should have matching t shirts for the Operation Transformation 5 K this Saturday. Fluffy Duffy took admirable leadership control, as the MMM's got totally flustered in relation to what nickname they wanted on the back, and what we would actually call ourselves. A call was put out to, none other than, bigfoodiemama to assist, and I very swiftly came up with the name Krill Oil Krazies for the merry bunch. This was greeted with a lot of positivity as I posted " How about Krill Oil Krazies ?? ....KOK for short :)" Ha Ha !
After another 179 messages, our collective names were decided and I for one was delighted that BFM would finally have a personalised garment, as was Cantering Claire, Transformation Tracey, Swivelling Sharon, Flyer Maguire, Kamakaze Kerr, Mighty Martha, Twinkletoes, Fluffy Duffy, MILF and Trotting Teresa.
The order was placed and in great anticipation we gathered in the house of Twinkletoes to carb load ( ie. eat Lasagne, Salads, Baked Potatoes and salads and then loads of desserts...see our Menopausal Ladies cupcakes !) I arrived first, and soon Fluffy Duffy and Kamakaze followed, FD bearing the box of personalised t shirts. With great delight Kamakaze dove into the box and extracted her t shirt, with beautiful pink script on the back. She turned the t shirt around and with immediate shock I noticed that Fluffy, in complete innocence, had used the abbreviated version of our group name and the letters KOK were printed in large black letters on the front of the t shirts....I kid you not....all 11 t shirts have a big black KOK on the front of them. ( This stuff just writes itself !!!) What I found hardest ( boom boom ..) to credit is that no one except The Mad One and I spotted the issue immediately...we obviously work on a higher level of dirty mind than most. Fluffy Duffy had even made a quiche with KOK written on it in red pepper !!! As you can just imagine, the innuendo and smart comments started as the "athletes" pre hydrated with Rioja and it just went from bad to worse...it was hysterical. What had started out as a casual get together on a Wednesday night turned into one of the funniest nights ever. A second blog will be required to truly give it justice....
A recent development , however, is that Philip from OT has contacted one of our group, with a view to meeting us on Saturday to film us for RTE !!!! The very laughable KOK on the front of our t shirts is now quite an issue, so decisions are being made, in relation to our having to put our race numbers over the letters. So, keep an eye on Operation Transformation and the RTE news.....the Krill Oil Krazies might just feature and only you will know our secret !!! Ssssshhh .....
