Tales of the Ticklish: Tickle Sneak Attacks & More Pedicure Fun!

     Happy Memorial Day 2012 to everyone, and I hope everyone takes a moment out of their BBQ-ing to remember the true meaning of the holiday this weekend.. Thank you to our troops for all their sacrifices, past, present, & future, and for protecting all of our freedoms, and defending our nation against all comers.     
     ...OK, now let's all laugh! The "Tales of the Ticklish" series is definitely the most popular part of this dumb, crazy blog that I write on pedicures, bare feet, and just being silly & having fun, so let's keep that ball rolling with more fun stories of laughter & squirming! :)

STILL LAUGHING

     Years and years ago, my buddy was dating this really cool chick named Dawn, who was hilarious, sexy, & fun-as-hell, GREAT sense of humor! Their relationship fell apart as my pal hooked up with someone else, but I maintained a strong friendship with Dawn, hoping that it may eventually become something more than friends, because I thought we just clicked reeeeeally well. One night, I was over her place, with a few bottles of wine, and we were watching TV on her gigantic, L-shaped couch, getting tipsy. We were both barefoot, which is no surprise to anyone that knows me, plus Dawn was "anti-shoes" just like me.. And she LOVED tickling! I found this out from the many times she couldn't resist tickling my ribs to make me jump anytime we were all out together, once tickling me at her family's BBQ, and when I jumped/spasm'd, she laughed out loud and said, "Isn't that (tickling) the best?!!" ..(Yes, yes, indeed it is, Dawn! LOL!) ..So, we were sprawled out on opposite ends of the couch, feet-to-feet, talking & laughing & reminiscing, when in walks her sister from some party, totally bombed on wine coolers. She saw me sitting on the couch, screamed, "Al!!!!", and ran over to the couch to give me a big, sloppy, drunken hug. After leaning over & hugging me, she turned around, and sat clumsily down on my stretched-out legs, on top of my ankles, pinning my bare feet in place, and asked, "That doesn't hurt, does it? Do you want me to move?".. I told her it was totally fine, and she joined in Dawn & I's conversation, asking how I was and how life was going, yada yada yada. But literally, about 60 seconds after asking how I was doing, she glanced down at my pinned-down bare feet, smiled an impish, evil smile, and said (slurred), "Hey, aren't you really ticklish on your feet?!".. With that question, Dawn instantly sat up, moved towards my trapped feet, and exclaimed, "YES, he is SO ticklish on his feet!!!" And then it was game on, and I had two sets of hands, 20 fingers (well, 16, minus the thumbs) with long fingernails, tickling the bottoms of my trapped bare feet & the undersides of my toes!! They both were loudly cracking up laughing as they tickled, and the sound that was coming out of my mouth was some mix of hysterical laughter, screaming, and telling them I needed a break or I was gonna lose all bladder control! LOL!!! They tickled my bare feet for about 3-4 minutes or so.. it coulda' been longer..but by that time, my upper torso had wriggled off the couch and I had inadvertently blasted my head into the leg of their coffee table.. Thanks for the bump on the noggin, girls! They finally showed some mercy, and we all just sat there, recovering, panting like we all just ran windsprints (no one can deny tickling is a helluva workout!), and giggling about how much fun that was. Their family had moved a few months after that, and we all lost touch with each other, but there's no denying that if I ever touched base with them today, even after many, many years, they would mention how fun & utterly hysterical that incident was. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if alcohol became involved, and we reenacted it.. :)
     Incidentally, in regards to ticklish feet, let's get back to PEDICURES! LOL! I was told I would get used to the super-ticklish pedicure scrubby that always cracks me up everytime I go for a pedicure. Well, after 3 years of pedicures, I gotta say, I still. Laugh. Everytime. ..Can't help it!

The Roadmap to Making ME Laugh... I Don't Think I'm Alone in This.. :)

And as far as ticklish feet for pedicures go, some YouTuber's Grandma here, is definitely as bad as I am, maybe even worse, if that's even possible!! ...Fantastic attempt to NOT laugh here! This should instantly put you in a better mood!
