Does anybody know my roommate? "Poor *fill in the blank*" is her canned response to nearly any unfortunate situation, from "Poor Jason, he just got his leg caught in a lawnmower" to "Poor Jason, he's just sick about dumping those baked beans on your white cushion."
For the record, as of 11 p.m. last night, Jason had not gotten his leg caught in a lawnmower, however he did leave his mark on one of my kitchen chairs. But, in his defense it was sort of in an effort to save Wendy's stupid mutt from injesting some type of carcinogenic materials she'd located (that dog will most assuredly supply plenty of material for the blog this week).
It was fun for Lee, Mark and me to watch as the J's attempted to perform some kind of resurrection miracle on the fabric...sadly enough, their efforts weren't too successful. "Poor Jason," one minute he had a giant plate of food and the next he wasn't so hungry anymore.
So, one of my white cushions is now kind of oddly speckled with tomato product. An eternal reminder of Jason, maybe once he's migrated south I'll hold a weekly vigil around the stained chair, ok, maybe not...
It's only a cushion Jason, it's ok, I'm ok and you can still eat at my house.
I'll just put down drop cloth next time, or better yet, maybe I'll just serve soda crackers. :)

You should try some OxyClean on it. I've seen that stuff pull out some crazy stains, and it tends to work well on natural stains - things like blood and wine come out quite nicely, so I'd imagine tomato won't be able to stand up to it.
BTW, now that you all know the joy of Catan, I have a whole slew of board games to recommend to you all when you're ready for some variety. Catan is a great gateway into the wonderful world of modern board gaming. Monopoly and Scrabble are fun and all, but... there's just so much more. :D
Oh man...and then you had to blog about it...Jason just got off the phone with me about solutions to the cushion situation...there will be no rest until it is properly resolved. So, indeed - POOR JASON!!!
PS - do you want to take MACY out at 3am tonight...the neighbors were up again...ahem.
Dudes, the cushion will live, it'll be fine, that's what I'm saying, come on!
I told you I'd take the stupid dog out yesterday since you can't stop with the nosey neighbor act. She likes you better...just "don't look Ethel."
Oh and thanks Brian for the recommendation, we'll give that a try. AND, whenever you're ready we're ready for more fun games. BRING IT! :)
*and oh ya,psssst...I won again*
Why is it "poor Jason"?!? I say "poor chair"!
Thanks Mup, preciate it! I have no good defense but it did start by Macy chewing up a plastic something or other our attempt to keep her from choking...I then got all excited and lost focus and my plate (loaded heavy to one side of Melissa's World Famous Baked Beans) jumped out of my hand and into the chair. Proving once again that you can have too much of a good thing...I don't have to worry about that regarding brains and hand-eye coordination however - A thousand sorry’s Melissa! I'll get it fixed. ;-)
I think everyone should be blaming Wendy's dog. I mean really. Jason is normal. Wendy's dog...not so much. ;-)
Priorities here...
