Personally, I would have to kill some little piggies
All I have to say is watch this.

and no points for typing! that's anarchy!
OK, Virginia Wolf is more more annoying than piggies. You win, Lola Nova.
ReplyDeleteI guess they really couldn't put Humpty together again.
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty close though, I was tempted in awarding points for typing she did call me Exalted Ruler. That's pretty good negotiating.
ReplyDeleteChrisJ, poor Humpty... he only has stumps to check his balance. I am afraid he is a goner.
Just to let you know, I was "invited " to leave typing class my sophomore year in High School. I excelled at shorthand , but transcribed all of my notes in longhand. I type 17 wpm on a good day. I am a 66 yr. old great- grandmother. Tough to run away when chased by suspicious home owners who see my camera pointed at their GNOMES.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I bow to our Exalted Ruler aka...The Yard Stickler...
with regard to my typing prowess.
Oh ...and I have a replaced hip and a penchant for margaritas.
Like Ellen's friend Gladys " I love Jesus, but I drink a little "
Happy Hunting to you all...granny says, remember your kevlar vests.
Lola , I loved the video. I love pigs. "specially when they are BACON !!
ReplyDeleteKristi, I feel your pain. I was kicked out of band for my lack of musical ability. It was then I started my exciting career of twirling.
ReplyDeleteTWIRLING... as in whirling dervish or baton brandishing ? High five on the lack of musical ability. Another fine free service I offer is my off-key caterwauling.
ReplyDeleteYou do notice that I gave you 2 extra feet:

The better to run away from homeowners who lack a sense of humor.
Kristi, you may use either title, I like them both. But the trick is to get a driver, then you snap and drive.
