Moved By Meat Loaf
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Number 1 and I went to Number 2′s fall choir concert last week. As we sat up in the balcony, watching the various choirs performed, we noticed that the all of the boys in the co-ed choir looked like doofuses, with the exception of one boy – a friend of Number 2′s who looks like Meat Loaf. When we met up with Number 2 after the performance, she was with a couple of her female friends, and we relayed our observation, which was greeted with disgust by her friends.
“You think he looks like meatloaf? That’s not nice!”
“Not meatloaf the food. Meat Loaf the singer.”
“Oh. Who’s that?”
Sunday, in need of help moving Sunshine’s heavy furniture from her apartment to the house, Number 2 recruited her friend. When I told him of my observation from the concert, he beamed proudly. As a singer, he knew who I was referring to, and was proud of the comparison. Really, if you’ve ever listened to “Bat Out Of Hell”, you’d understand that to be compared to the talented Meat Loaf is a compliment.
We arrived at the house, and the first order of business was to unload some heavy dressers from the trailer and carry some heavy dressers up the half-flight of stairs into the house and then up the full-flight of stairs to the bedrooms. Number 2 cautioned Meat Loaf that the dressers were heavy and would require two people, and then Meat Loaf proceeded to lift a dresser by himself! Holy crap! Meat Loaf not only can sing, but is built like an ox!
With the much appreciated help of Meat Loaf (and later on, his brother and another friend), Sunshine and I were able to successfully transport all of her big and heavy furniture from her place to the house without either one of us having to suffer back strain!
