So I was making myself a sammich and put two pieces of bread on a plate. When I turned to get the jam, my poor broken stickie-outie finger snagged a piece of bread and dragged it off the plate and onto the floor, aka, the Kingom of Dog. He promptly pounced.
This is the same dog that... broke my finger.
Coincidence?
I think not!

Urggh.
OK, in February the fire alarm in my building went off for the first time since I moved in seven years ago. It was just past midnight. I got out of bed, grabbed some clothes, couldn't find my cat, and got out of the building hoping it was a false alarm.
It was.
Some idiot had been trying to heat the blade of his hockey stick so he could bend it. It caught on fire. On the side of the building that didn't evacuate. No damage done, but serious smoke.
A few months back, it happened again. This time I was better prepared and got out with my irreplaceable valuables and my cat Pepi in her carrier.
It happened on a weekend afternoon. Some idiot in that afore mentioned other side of the building tried making french fries and walked away from them. Lots of smoke, no real damage.
Well, it just happened again. My landlord couldn't say what caused it this time, but once again our half of the building evacuated and awaited the all clear before going back in. I got my irreplaceables and Pepi out safely.
The other half...stayed inside. I swear, in the event of a real fire only half our buildings population will live. And it could very well be evolution trying to improve the gene pool....

Do not dismiss the rumors of unseen magical faeries—they are real!

Happy Monday Treeforters!
(Oi, talk about your oxymoron!) ;P
I come soliciting advice, (I know, thats asking for it!) ;P
Semi-seriously, I have to write a script for a group of 15, 11-14 yr old kids for a theater class I got talked into teaching.
SO, For our class skit, I have the "Fantasy characters (preferably Disney, but not absolutely required) on the Dr Phil show for help"
I need help with situations and one-liner-esqe solutions.
Example- Snow white
Dr Phil- "So Snow, Can I call you Snow? What seems to be the problem?"
Snow White- "Well, I keep wanting to bake a pie for Charming. To tell him thank you for being so sweet. But every time I LOOK at an apple, I fall asleep! What can I do?"
Dr Phil- "That's easy. Make him a pumpkin pie! NEXT!"
The idea is that every kid gets a line or two, and a chance to display a little acting skill, and it is hopefully funny and entertaining to their fellow students in the other classes at the showcase, (and their parents too, obviously)
The only restrictions are, it must be clean. This is a Christian Youth Group. :)
I actually have a list of characters that most of the kids have said they want to be, (at home of course) I can post that tonight.
IN order to NOT to tie up Monkey's Thread, anyone interested can PM me ideas. I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you! And now back to your regularly scheduled treefort,...

Why don't you just do the Greek Gods (and heroes) go to Dr. Phil for help?
LOL, thats good, and I think one kid wants to do Hercules.
IMHO, I don't even Dr Phil at his best can help that group of weirdos that are the Greek gods and goddesses. (The original stories, not the Disney version) :P

I've always been a fan of Redrum and Coke or any kind of good rum actually. :-)
Cannot drink beer, like Hard Root Beer and Hard Raspberry Lemonade though.

Never liked scotch myself, but Irish whiskey is one of my go-to drinks (even the cheap stuff tastes OK when it's $5 for a shot of Bushmills and a can of Genesee Cream Ale). Granted, I once drank a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon that I found in the trunk of a junked car, so my good taste may be somewhat in question.

I always hated scotch (and oaky red wines) until last year. Suddenly the taste of all the dregs of drinks I used to down after my parents parties (keep an eye on your toddlers, folks) came to mind and I got an airplane bottle of Johnny Walker Red.
I now like scotch.
In other news, dog is really, really bad today. Vet at 3:30. He walks OK but seems to be in a lot of pain for some reason.
