Get It: 103 |
Vol. 1, No. 61 |
VAMPIRES BEWARE!: Had an impromptu
outin' ... it was good ... I can still taste it ... in
fact ... I brushed three times ... I can STILL taste it
... but those breadsticks were so yummy ... the chunks
of garlic in the spicy Marinara sauce ... the Italian
sausage ... the Girardino was superb ... the Albondonza
was a brilliant combination of heavenly flavors ... topped
off with Tiramisu ... Jenny Craig was not at this feast!
... she woulda been a cluckin' 'n wigglin' her finger
at us ... 'course we coulda turned it into a dietetic
meal ... if we had placed jes' one order 'n passed it
'round the table for everyone ... but then that wouldn't
have been fun now would it ... 'course there was the obligatory
night terrors after placin' all those lovely spices in
my body ... the ones where you're trapped by some unspeakable
monster 'n your tryin' to scream 'n nothin' comes out
... 'n your in your underwear in the middle of the city
... walkin' down the street ... 'n you stop in at a Volvo
dealership ... wantin' to buy a station wagon! ... I was
so happy to hear the alarm ... I jumped out of bed 'n
looked in the driveway ... it was such a relief to see
my little Cavalier!

SHIVERIN: Good thing I didn't
pack away all my winter clothes ... put my long sleeve
shirts in moth balls ... it's cold here! ... we could
be havin' a hard freeze in the next day or two ... bummer,
dude ... but then again I could be livin' out in South
Dakota ... where they were trapped in their houses this
weekend ... we keep talkin' 'bout the flood preparations
businesses are makin' ... it's kinda scary when ya have
to deal with it second hand ... it'd be even scarier to
be there in person ... but you tend to forget that when
you're sittin' in the sunshine ... tryin' to get somethin'
done ... the people aren't available ... ya begin to get
impatient ... when ya finally get 'em on the phone 'n
find out that their havin' to drive on roads flanked by
10 foot drifts ... blinded by blowin' snow ... jes' to
get in to install a new operatin' system on a computer
... guess I'll quit complainin' 'bout a little cold weather!
|
MISLEADIN': Science is a wonderful
thing ... 'specially the new clonin' stuff that's been
in all the papers ... the headlines in the daily newspapers
are rivalin' the tabloids ... 'specially the first ones
that came out ... "Scientists Clone Adult Sheep"
... I didn't think too much of it ... 'til we were watchin'
TV ... saw the picture of the guy in the obligatory white
lab coat standin' by a grown sheep ... #6 assumed that
the clonin' took place 'n presto there was a grown sheep
... in my infinite wisdom I corrected 'im 'n tol' 'im
that they jes' took the "stuff" from an adult
sheep ... the result had to grow from a baby 'n get big
... but the more I think about it the more I wonder ...
is that really what happened? ... or did it happen jes'
like it appeared? ... "Patty clone, Patty clone,
scientist man" ... "make me a lambie as fast
as you can" ... "roll it, pat it, mark it with
a 'C'" ... "then put it in the oven for baby
'n me!" ... pass the Olaner's Mint Leaf spread ...
please ... 'n whadda ya do with the little white hats
on the end of the bones? ... is this a finger bowl or
is this soup? ... "if ya don't eat your lambie you
won't get any pudding".
