Thanks for the theft-worthy idea, Todd.

Hell, yes. Forget about memes - here's an awesome new game that's all about you and me. Instructions:

Post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -good or bad- BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. You've got free reign. Start your sentence "Remember when you and I..."

If you know me in real life, you still have to make it up. If you're a lurker, now's your chance to say something fun, for once in your life.

Y'all make me laugh. Or cry. Or feel something other than this constant, wearying apathy. Thanks in advance to everyone who plays - I can't wait to read your replies.

 Remember when you and I were in rehab together and you had to get that root canal without Novocaine? And then you went to prison for three months? And then I killed myself?

That was awesome.

 I don't remember exactly why we spent the late 80s as undercover go-go dancers for the FBI, but I can't imagine doing it with anybody else. You're the bestest!

 Remember when you and I busted my ex-husband's best friend with the fake internet dating scam?

He'd called me a fat loser and had no idea I could read his email. So we used a picture of you, created a fake profile custom-tailored to his sleazy tastes and (of course)he fell for it.

When he arrived at the "date", you and I watched from our hiding place as he realized "she" was a no-show.

Then later we blasted him for being so much fatter and balder than the photos he'd posted. Sweet revenge!! To this day he has no idea.

Good times!

 Remember when you and I randomly decided to get tatoos? You got that one on your arm that says, "Momma," in HUGE bold letters on a heart (of course), and I got that replica of disneyland on my back? Crazy freaking times! Ya know what though, I need to get it touched up, the space mountain is a little faded...

 Remember when you and I bumped into Rachel McAdams? She told you she read your first book 7 times and pulled it out of her big chocolate brown Prada tote to get your autograph. And then she told you that she hated clowns also. Then she turned to me and told me that I was her favorite Taiwanese pop star....

 Remember when you and I spent the weekend at the clothing optional campground in Colorado? They had a party with a loud band and it played all night and we could hear them from our tents. And it was cold that night and everybody was wearing clothing except for the tall beautiful girl with the perfect body. (And unfortunately, she wasn't either of us.)

 Do you remember when we hit the Powerball and split the jackpot and ended up blowing it in a couple of weeks in Central America on sombreros and strawberry flavored drinks? We were both miraculously fluent in Spanish, but only when we were wasted or crank calling our ex-husbands.

 Remember when you and I took grandma to the aquarium and we were watching the seals play and grandma said (really loud) "that would make a beautiful coat!" and we were totally embarassed. Man, I really miss her.

 Remember that time I was slightly suicidal and thinking about running away because my family treats me like staff and no one in this house gives a rats ass about my feelings..EVER..and you came over and gave me a big hug said that you knew how I felt but that I needed to get over myself and maybe just take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep because my family is great and they really *do* love me despite all the messy evidence to the contrary. And then you turned to the ingrates I work my butt off for and told them to take one damn day and spoil ME for a change..!!

Yeah.

Wanna come over again?

 Remember when you and I did coke off each other's ass cheeks and stayed up for a solid week having sex and watching Saved by the Bell reruns on TBS?

 Remember the time when we stayed up for ages trying to write a hit song on with you on guitar and me on keyboards and after hours of writing crap, drinking Jolt cola and becoming increasingly frustrated with our musical ineptness, you finally played this rocking melody and we both came up with these great lyrics and it was so amazing and we were so proud of ourselves until we turned on the radio and realized we'd actually just written Shape Of My Heart by the Backstreet Boys? Yeah, that was embarassing.

 Do you remember that time we got lost coming home from Art Car Weekend and we hooked up with those guys from the sideshow and I took the guy who hammers nails into his head because you said he seemed "better suited to my style of lovin'" while you took the cute guy with the tattoos and then I spent all day Sunday with a claw-hammer helping my guy remove forgotten nails while your guy made us all Margaritas and we just had a really nice time?

 Remember when we went to the Renaissance Festival and you were dressed in the chain armor and nipple tassels? I was charging everyone five dollars to take a picture with you...boy..we sure made a lot of money that day. We should do it again sometimes.

 Remember that time that we went out for your birthday, only we didn't have any money so we ended up sitting on the sidewalk covertly drinking Zimas? That was before we realized that malt liquor is DIS-gusting, except we sort of realized it while we were drinking the Zima. And then we watched the parade of girls walking into the clubs and tried to decide which ones were pretty and which ones were nice. Good times.

 Remember when you and I had that really awkward moment when we realized we wanted to try on the same bra, but we're obviously very different sizes, and neither of us wanted to be the one to point it out? Not the same style bra, but the exact same bra.

That must have been so embarrassing for you.

 Remember that time we were drinking in that Westin Galleria bar after a day of window shopping and bemoaning our inability to buy anything we liked, and then we noticed that the door to the pool room was broken so that it was possible to get in without a key card? So then we went in and used the Sauna, taking advantage of the huge, plush white towels and free skincare products that they had in the changing area. Only somehow they found out we weren't guests and the security guard made us leave, and he wouldn't even give us time to get dressed so we had to run through the mall to your car carrying our clothes and wearing nothing but towels. And how the bar still had my credit card, and I got charged $39.99 each for those towels? And how you still haven't paid me for yours?

 Remember when you and I saw E.Q. naked after gym class?

 Remember when you and I went to Italy and we thougth it would be fun to try to take a train without paying and the scary ticket guy found us out and we had to run through the train and climb up on the roof like action heros? Then we jumped off the roof into some nice, soft grass and it turned out we were in the backyard of George Clooney's villa and he thought our story was so awesome and we are so pretty that we could stay as long as we liked and he waited on us hand and foot for a week.

Yeah, that was fun

 'Member that time we glued Lee Press-on Nails to our toenails and you peed in your pants?

 Remember when you and I went to church and praised Jesus with our hyms of praise? And then we said the Lord's prayer together and were filled with the Holy Spirit? I have never felt closer to God than that.

 Remember when you and I used to gang up on girls in middle school and kicked Alicia Valdez Rodrigues's ass?

 Remember when you and I flew first class to Mozambique after you won on "The Price is Right" and we got so drunk on champagne that you offered a lap dance to the flight attendant and I started to do the Strip Macarena and things went on from there until the pilot came back with clenched teeth and handed each of us a parachute? He didn't want to lap dance either. What a sourpuss.

 Remember when we locked ourselves in your bedroom and had a sewing contest to see who could invent the sexiest swim suit (and we didn't even know what sex really was)? You sewed four teeny weeny triangles and tried to hook them together and I just took fabric and ripped it randomly and tied them together all over my body for my "cave girl/Blue Lagon" look.

We screamed when your brothers tried to break in and you had to help me untie all those knots fast! You were a good friend.
