lunch

SO...

I went home to lunch today to see if I could take a chunk outta the left over pizza from last night, and I turned on the tv to see what I could see. As I was flipping through channels I came upon a show that looked like what would happen if the teletubbies did LSD.

I loved it.

As I was open mouth gawking at this psychotic display of..... whatever it was... I got an idea.

So I muted the tv, went to my room and put in a pillar cd and turned it up to the point of blowing the speakers and rushed back to the living room to see that little kids had joined the fat fuzzy thingys in dancing and jumping up and down, rockin to Invincible by Pillar.

i teel ya wut,
Lunch just doesn't get any better then that.

So it's not like just one of you have to get me all of this.....
I'm sure theres a pool out there for a "I love quistofur and I wanna geddem stuff" fund.
It's just up to you to find/start one.

AND......

yeah so p.s.
NO I AM NOT GOING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR SO STOP ASKING.
I was just there for thanksgiving (by the way I hate turkey with a passion of a thousand burning suns) and ....... well just drop it.

So I guess there is some "unwritten rule" about someone not being able to spend this season alone? Who wrote that? Fer petes sake it's just a day. Yes it marks the day that we celibrate my Risen Savior's birth. So does that mean I can't be alone? Anyhoo. So I will be spending this Christmas at Castle Banwart, where a gabillionjillion little rug rats who are bent on screaming til blood spirts from their vocal chords will be terrorizing every living/dead/inatomic object with in three feet of the floor. Man I wish I was spider man.

Some days my lucky spaceship underware just doesnt cut it.

actually I dont have those... but I am looking for spiderman boxers.....(ahem.. hint hint)

what time is it?......

dang.

this isn't taking as much time as I hoped......

UMMMMMMM....SO!

yeah.

for all those concerend, the comforter from the previous post is working wonderfully with the help of my flannel sponge bob pj's. Getting up in the morning is going to be a trick, and YES!!!! I MADE IT ON TIME AGAIN TO WORK TODAY!! Like a WEEK straight! Although I think I might be setting my department head's expectations a little too high. We will have to fix that...

anyhoo the mornings.. ick.
So it's nice and toasty warm with my 7 layers of blankets BUT the distance from the bed to a hot shower is seemingly growing as the weather gets colder.

Any ideas would be great on that one.

So every time my supervisor walks by today he mentions something about the "sock" I have on my head. I think he's just jelious cause he doesn't have a power hat. Know what goes great with a good power hat? Scruff. I gotta picture here that tami took of me and her niece that I'm gonna try to upload. Lovin it. I'll have to ask vince how to do that.

Hey vince, howdya do that?

anyhoo......

ooooooh idea
I'm gonna go walk backwards to the pop machine to get a dr pepper. That should kill some time.... and if anyone asks: reppep .rd a gnitteg m'I

Journey to walmat

A shivering young man sitting at his station is approached by a familiar face...

"what would bring such a friend to such a desolate, bitter cold place as this" he wonders.
the usual "hark, I say unto thee, who doth approach the royal station? Proclaim thy name and be known" was not necessary for the young man beckoning was not a stranger, but his fellowmate of the household in which he currently dwells.

"Dude are you sitting down?"

our valiant young hero was betwixed, "couldest thou not see with thy own eyes that I doth sittith?" yet the hero held his tongue..

"yeah I just got our gas and electric bill. your half is a little over a hundred"

the brave young hero almost fell off his chair.... courage was needed. He was no stranger to the call of such courage, and this trial was no different, but a hundred farthing was thrice the fee of late. Such a fee was unthinkable for him. For what hath he done for such a penalty?

"yeah i'm guessin it's cause of the heater, it's been going non stop. We need to do something. Like buy a space heaters for our rooms and turn the thermostat way down but not off so the pipes don't freeze."

Space Heater? This befuddled even the vast knowledge of the prince. Nay, I shall not. Freakish things, so he had been told. Never seeing one, only splinters of stories had come across his ears. But this..... this space heater... nay. Blankets thought the prince. Blankets were the key.

"I think we can get um at walmart"

The name spoken sent shivers to the very spine of the brave young man. He had been there before. Unwittingly he wondered once into it's depths. Only needing a simple thing. A simple thing that was only 9 farthing. But the place was cursed. Many many things were there to cast their spell upon him. Although he fought valiantly, it was a bitter loss, and the defeated, battered young soldier walked out with 150 farthing worth of hunting supplies that he didn't really need.
And yet... was he to freeze?

Plans were forming..
he was to make the journey....
he had to...
the Journey
to the Castle Walmart.

So with no small courage our brilliant, valiant, good looking, great smelling, and all around above average prince saddled his trusty companion, sten, and made the journey across the treacherous kingdom of fortscott.

Upon arriving at the monstrous castle, the handsome prince was greeted warmly by a gentleman of old. Although the old man voice was friendly, something hidden and full of malice was lurking behind his sagging face. So after an abrupt case of the heebeegeebee's our dashing hero regained his composure and valiantly strode further into the dark Castle.

Wonder upon wonder flashed before him as ventured further into the dwelling. "NO!" he cried. "I shall have nothing to do with thee!!"

Bit by bit the wonders had over taken the daring princes will power and soon he had forgotten why he was there. Things upon things crowed him. Rows upon rows of stuff filled his mind.

He must have them.

NO!

yessss, precioussssss yesssss.

Slowly his mind started to cloud....slowly he started turning his path toward the electronic section.
NO!! NOT THERE!! NOOO!!

But what was that... in the distance... it was...
it was...YES!
IT WAS THE COMFORTER SECTION

He had found it. At last he had found it. His mind burst through the clouds that were slowly strangling it and dashing though the various items closing in on all sides, the strong hero bull dozed his way through and, with out breaking stride snatched the the only queen sized bed set that wasn't too fem and sprinted through the castle, back to the entrance.. back to the light....but wait. What was that just up a head. It had been blocked by the registers before as he had come in. He had not seen it til now...
but there is was...

there it was,

his weakness.

His ultimate enemy,

and yet his truest of loves.

Dr pepper. A whole wall....
of dr pepper....

Tears came to the awestricken face of the handsome knight.
He could not leave it.. he could not......




Slowly the defeated knight mounted his steed.
Comforter in one hand,
12 pack in the other.

He had failed.

and yet.

He had won.

THE END


p.s.
yes I wrote this at work
yes I had a boat load of time on my hands
and yes if these thoughts came to your mind..yer ugly

Thanks for actually posting comment's, they are fun to read.

Vince, congrads to your sister.

Ames, Call me when you are going to see Muppet Wizard of OZ and I will drive out there and see it with you...so not kidding.


anyhoo.

Mondays, I tried sussessfully to get to work on time this morning.. THIRD DAY IN A ROW BABY!!! But the gas station on the way didn't have my usuall choclate milk and dr pepper this morning. Typical monday. So I settled for strawberry milk. Ick.... and yet... not so much.

Don't get me wrong I love my job. Like love it. Everything about it. The people, the work (or lack there of), the toys... dream come true.

Execpt

Spiders.

I
hate
spiders

and yes I love using the enter key..

alot....

so

there

anyhoo, spiders... and not like the one that lives in your mothers garden. heck no. these suckers are the ones that keep the rat population down. I deemed myself a great white hunter just the other week for axing 4 of these... these.... things. I am so not kidding when I say that I jumped on one and I went for a ride before IT's leggs gave out.. K so I lied BUT you get the point. Seriously though it's hard sometimes to disguinsh sometimes between a spider and a mouse here. We have them both and they grow to the SAME SIZE. I don't even mind the mice. I actually think they are kinda cute. I caught one last week and put it in a blank cd holder cover thingy. It was my mascot named steve. Steve was my friend.... (sniff, sniff) I miss steve...(bursts into tears).

anyhoo so I'm sitting here at my desk, and out the the corner of my eye I see something dark shoot from under me. It was too quick for me to see what it was, but let me tell ya something... Sekan Printing Company hit code red in about .02 seconds. Never did find out what it was. Yeah like I'm gonna lift up the box it went under...

I just know I'm gonna have nightmares tonight.

Stinkn Kansas wildlife... gives me the heebeegeebees. I mean when I have to start setting mouse traps for the spiders....
I hear that there are Job openings in Michigan.....
