Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay


The night started off nicely.

The Sysmidgets and I went off to the library. Scored them a copy of "The Sound of Music." We will totally be doing a Sysm vonTrapp version of "The Lonely Goatherd" this weekend. I picked up a copy of Nick's favorite SciFi author, and Bruce Campbell's "Make Love!* *the Bruce Campbell Way." Reviews will follow.

En route, they were asking if "brat" meant brother in Spanish. I have a tenuous, junior-high level grip of Spanish, so I spoke in Spanglish for the entire trip. They kept throwing phrases at me to translate. The one that tripped me up was " Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

I came up with "Supremo-cah-lee-frah-hee-lis-tee-co-es-pee-ah-lee-doh-see-oh."

After the library, we picked up crickets for Flipper's frog. On the way back, we had a "scream at the top of your lungs" vs. "opera singer" challenge. The harmonics were horribly painful. I rolled the windows down. I wonder what the people out walking their dogs thought as we drove by.

Back home, the dog, WereWoof, got hold of a Halloween craft, with lots of pipe cleaners in it. I didn't want him to swallow a pipe cleaner so I went to grab it from him. I scared him and he started running away from me. He ran to the other end of the house, still with the pipe cleaners in his mouth. I was worried that he was going to choke on them. I dived at him, and he ran to the other end of the house. When I finally cornered him, he squatted, started pee-ing, and ran back through every possible room, peeing the whole time. I finally caught him, picked him up, and pulled the crap out of his mouth. He was still peeing. A never-ending bladder on that one.

I got to clean all the floors out of the deal. Lucky me!


UPDATES

Time Magazine's cover story this week states that humans and chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA. That YouTube video of the chimp drinking his own pee was tragically wasted days ago.

And the headline from the last post was a quote from "Help!". Being that SuperMongo has fled the world of blogdom, I should've known better, that no one would get the reference.

that video wasn't wasted!

i want to come ride in the car with you and your family.    



1:01 AM

Burn on me.    



9:31 AM

Spanish? Big deal! I had to go through the entire bath time washing, tooth brushing, and hair combing routine speaking only Cat.

Meow meOW mEow MEOW meOW!

I only worked because they get the very same directions, directions again, directions again, and then admonitions every night, so we all knew the rhythm.    



10:00 AM

The dog crapped on the floor overnight. And managed to get it on hhis fur, too. So, at 6:30 a.m., I was washing the floor (again) and giving the dog a bath. Which is NOT the name of a track from AC/DC's "Back in Black."    



3:55 PM

I'm never getting a dog.    



8:27 PM

Maybe you'll get a Doug.
