Remember, there's only one letter's difference between pest and pet.

And exactly how "quick thinking" does a person have to be to call the fire deparrrrtment when a fire alarrrrm goes off?
Posted by: cowhook214 | September 19, 2008 at 05:17 PM
MAC, there's not much difference between rats and hamsters, either.

Open your mouth. Thtick out yer tongue. Grab it with yer fingerth.
Hold onto yer tongue, while repeating ten timeth:
"I was born on a pirate ship."
Hilarity will enthue.

Wi' two female cap'ns upon said ship, me thinkin', "sprog" should either, 1) abandon ship; or 2) Say, "God love me!" Me goin' wi' the latter, mates, and to 'ell wi' the rest!!!
Posted by: young good fer nothin' sprog | September 20, 2008 at 01:52 AM
better still Although, when my dad played this song on the guitar around the campfire when I was about 6 or 7, the verse was NOT "put him in the bed with the captain's daughter"... it was sumpin like, "tie his hands and then keelhaul him..." I still don't know why those lyrics were changed... Hmmm...
Posted by: young good fer nothin' sprog | September 20, 2008 at 02:16 AM
Keelhaul, schmeelhaul: can't we all just get along?

Hi
ho, frodo.Looks like everyone's slow to raise the sails this morning.
It dawned on me in the evening that although I had typed like a pirate all day, I hadn't actually talked like a pirate all that much. So I spent my last few waking hours catching up on "arrrrr"s, and "shiver me timbers", and "ye scurvy dog", out loud.
Mostly to myself.
Butt, at least I could go to sleep with a clean conscience.
Booger
rrrrrr.Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 01:54 PM
"Talk Like a Pirate Day" is kind'a like this
Posted by: frodolives | September 20, 2008 at 02:28 PM
Ooh, I haven't seen Brigadoon in decades.
*zips over to Amazon.com*
Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 02:56 PM
So, Cat R,
arrrrrrare you going towake up the next morninghave a clean conscience come next TLAP day?Posted by: frodolives | September 20, 2008 at 02:59 PM
Hey Cat, you hearing echoes, too? Where
Arrrrrare folks?Posted by: frodolives | September 20, 2008 at 03:07 PM
Hmm. Don't know, but remember, since TLAP landed on a Friday, this weekend is also fair game for TLAP par
rrrties. They might all be recharging their batteries.And, yes, I'll be more vocal next year. I spent much of the day at home yesterday, with only the
scurvydog to listen to me anyway.My older daughter is going to be a pirate lass this Halloween. She already bought her costume last week. It runs in the family, I guess.
Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 03:21 PM
Mighty quiet around here today. Too quiet...
Posted by: pogo | September 20, 2008 at 03:30 PM
Shall I sing? ♫♫
Yeah, you're not kidding. I wonder wassup...
Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Well, I will be slinking out shortly. Headed to see the comedy "Ghost Town" with the fambly.
The Ebert review says Ricky Gervais's character "dies" for a few minutes during a colonoscopy, after which he sees ghosts.
Blog fodder fer sure.
Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 03:38 PM
an appropriate Cat song for the occasion...
Posted by: Steve Haller | September 20, 2008 at 03:39 PM
Ha! Steve, that was fun!
Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 03:49 PM

If you don't pray, well, now might be a good time to start!... No, it sounds like she's going to be fine, but, obviously, being my mom, I'm a little worried right now, so I appreciate any thoughts/prayers/concerns ya'll throw my way!Scott (Frodolives...)
Posted by: frodolives | September 20, 2008 at 03:55 PM
Still, kinda hard to sleep with all those cats stomping around...
Where's Siouxie? She owes me a
book reportreview of last night's "Stargate: Atlantis"...Posted by: Steve Haller | September 20, 2008 at 03:55 PM
Good point, Steve... WHERE IS Siouxie?... (looks around for machete...)
Posted by: frodolives | September 20, 2008 at 04:09 PM
frodo, I do pray, and your mom's been added to my daily list.
Also, just click on my name. That will take you to my blog, which has an email in my profile.
As for pirate-like cat songs, how's this?
Posted by: Cat R | September 20, 2008 at 04:09 PM
OK, when he looks at you with THOSE EYES, back away verrrrry slowly...
Posted by: Steve Haller | September 20, 2008 at 04:14 PM
and Frodo, don't worry, she'll be fine...
...as long as she didn't go to a Providence hospital...
Posted by: Steve Haller | September 20, 2008 at 04:18 PM
Looks like the blog is up and running now.
And I must run as well. Bye for now, blogits!

To All,
Just got a call from my sister, apparently they are discontinuing mom from the breathing tube and moving her out of ICU into a regular room!!! That, I believe, is totally because of YOUR prayers, and I appreciate every one of them! Thanks, buds! ("Wheww..." Time to order in!!!!! Pizza and blog bar? Somebody gonna give me a mojito??)
Posted by: frodolives | September 20, 2008 at 06:38 PM
YAY! That's great news, frodo!
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2008 at 06:51 PM
Um..Steve. I um...kinda fell asleep whilst watching (I was tired, not that it was boring)...so sorry ;-) Next time!
Posted by: Siouxie | September 20, 2008 at 06:53 PM
Siouxie, the episode will be repeated next Friday at 9, right before the new episode at 10. You have to see it or tape it, it's practically a duet for Ronon and my man Rodney McKay, and those blasted Wraith! If you watched the old Stargate show, Michael Shanks (Dr Daniel Jackson) will return in the 10 PM episode...
