WHEREAS, Mrs. Crappy, the wife of the proprietor of this blog, has had a kind of miserable week; and

WHEREAS, Mrs. Crappy was forced to endure the destruction of her family homestead by fire on Sunday night; and

WHEREAS, Mrs. Crappy was screwed out of attending a concert by Dark Star Orchestra on Tuesday because she was asked to cover a school board meeting in the place of a reporter who was covering a police standoff in Zelienople instead; and

WHEREAS, Said school board meeting was unproductive and didn’t actually require the presence of Mrs. Crappy; and

WHEREAS, There has been at least one other instance of Mrs. Crappy’s Work getting in the way of Mrs. Crappy’s Fun; and

WHEREAS, We’re going to try to do something nice for Mrs. Crappy to offset the torture and agony of this week; and

WHEREAS, I’m thinking we’re going to need more than a single day to offset said torture and agony; and

WHEREAS, So let’s set it up so we have an entire Mrs. Crappy Weekend; and

WHEREAS, I’m thinking we should just go ahead and start this right now; and

WHEREAS, If you see Mrs. Crappy this weekend, you should be extra nice to her and offer to give her a backrub or buy her a beer or something; and

WHEREAS, If you have suggestions about perhaps meeting her somewhere I’d be happy to make some arrangements; and

WHEREAS, If, alternately, you don’t think you’ll run into Mrs. Crappy over the weekend, you could always leave a nice, uplifting comment at the end of this post;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Friday, February 27; Saturday, February 28; and Sunday, March 1, 2009, shall be declared “Mrs. Crappy Weekend” in the City of Pittsburgh, the County of Allegheny and Any Other Surrounding Environs Mrs. Crappy Deems Fit To Include;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that anyone who should happen to encounter Mrs. Crappy during “Mrs. Crappy Weekend” in the City of Pittsburgh, the County of Allegheny and Any Other Surrounding Environs Mrs. Crappy Deems Fit To Include is hereby encouraged to generally be nice to her and stuff so that she may be aided in the effort to put this horrible week behind her.

IT IS HEREBY PRONOUNCED, on Friday, February 27, 2009, by Uncle Crappy. Amen.

  4. Dear Mrs. Crappy,

    I wish I could buy you a beer this weekend. No, I take that back. I wish I could buy you a bottomless pitcher of Lowenbrau Dark and we could sit together in a booth in a great bar with a kick-ass jukebox and just talk about stupid shit for hours. One of these days, we’ll do that. Until then, have a great Mrs. Crappy Weekend. From the sound of it, you deserve that and more!

    Love,
    Your Friends in Michigan

  5. You are the greatest husband ever, Uncle Crappy. Unless Mrs. Crappy says you’re not, in which case her opinion shall overrule all because it is all about her. For now. Nah, for always.

    LURVE YOU, MRS. CRAPPY!

  11. The republic of “Demunz” will recognize this celebration of “Mrs. Crappy”. We will for the aforementioned set length of time and borders refer to the one known as “Mrs. Crappy” as “Mrs. Happy” and provide uplifting comments and actions.
    IF YOU VIOLATE THIS DECREE, YOU WILL BE DRAWN AN QUARTERED IN MARKET SQUARE! or forced to listen to the entire Jon Tesh album, TWICE! *ouch*

  12. Way to go Uncle Crappy! You rock as a husband. and I’m not sure I’ll see Mrs. Crappy this weekend (unless you come to the double wide grill Sunday morning around 10 am for a WYEP pancake fundraiser) so ROCK ON Mrs. Crappy, you deserve it.
    I also heard Pittsburgh’s mayor was changing his name to Crappystahl this weekend in honor of Mrs. Crappy.
