At the risk of having you think I’m being all boastful and braggy and generally impossible to tolerate, I’ve made a decision about my upcoming trip to Isla Mujeres. I AM GOING TO JOURNAL IT here on The Mock Dock. Not in a “Dear Diary, today we took a romantic stroll on the beach and watched the sunset” kind of way, but more in a “OMG – look at the landbeast I took a picture of on the beach today!” kind of way.
A couple of years ago, we went to Zihuatenejo, Mexico – you know the place – it’s the paradise referred to several times in the Best Movie Of All Time – Shawshank Redemption. And I took pictures of these two dudes on the beach who were wearing the skimpiest speedos ever. And, had there BEEN a Mock Dock at the time, I would have shared those pictures with you. But there wasn’t, so I didn’t. I don’t want us to make that same mistake again. We are BOUND to see some funny or odd people in Isla, and I intend to covertly photograph them for you. Because that is how I roll.
Anyway, we have so many millions of things to do before Saturday, and yet here I am, writing to you all. See how dedicated I am? You know what you should do in appreciation? Buy a Mock Dock mug and then photograph yourself with it so I can post it and write a haiku about you and your awesome new mug.
Anyway, so I’ll be checking in with you all from Mexico next week and letting you know what’s going on not only from a vacation perspective, but also from my normal mocking perspective. It’s like a told a buddy of mine – mockery doesn’t get put on hold just because of a vacation. Mockery must continue.
And so it shall, mockdockers. So it shall.
I have always wanted to go to Zihuatanejo for the EXACT SAME REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER. PERIOD. LOVE!!!!! (as you would say!)
Come on, Mock! Add the old pics . . . Please?
Carol – it is EVERY BIT as awesome as you would expect. We chose it SOLELY based on that movie, because that is how much we love it. If you ever go, stay in Hotel Brisas Del Mar. FABULOUS.
Tex – I’ll go look and see if I can find those photos!!!
one day….it is on my to do before i die list.
Every time I read “zihuatanejo” i her it in Red’s voice…that wistful way he says it when he’s reading the letter from Andy he found under the rock. I need to see that again for the 100th time….
So let me get this straight. Instead of Mr. Mock watching his scantily clad hot little wife frolicking in the sand, he gets to fetch her margaritas and watch her type into a laptop. I think he should stipulate that the laptop doesn’t come out until you have worn him out and he is napping. That’s the way to vacation. Otherwise he may give up and go golfing and you know how that turned out for Tiger.
No worries, BB. Mocking will be occurring purely in the evening hours after many naps and margaritas and other unmentionable things have occurred.
