+ had a friendly chat with john mccain’s naval academy roommate. this is the academy where you train for the navy, easily mistaken for the others that train you in bellybuttons or oranges. i wonder if john mccain has an innie or an outtie?
- got smacked in the forehead by a bee as I was riding my bike on campus at mach speeds. he then went for my hair and, afraid of getting stung should I try and wrestle him out, I continued to ride my bike whilst shaking my head back and forth frantically. quite a sight and quite dangerous.
- same bike. same ride. almost slaughtered a squirrel when he jumped out in front of my bike. he lost his acorns at the site of me and thankfully darted back to the tree. i mean c’mon, Squirrel, don’t even try to compete wit me. i’m a cheetah on wheels.
+ made one heckuva witty comment about the fall of the ottoman empire. it involved a mutilated footstool. just ask kate.
- watched my first italian silent movie clip. it was your typical 1920s theme, ya know…guy captures and kidnaps woman, woman fights, woman pleads, woman begs, woman grovels whilst holding onto man’s calf, man conquers and woman is wooed. romantic.
+ met a real astronaut that has been to space, the final frontier. she tried to feed me a freeze-dried neapolitan ice cream cone but i just gawked and gagged at the offer. rude on my part?
- drew smiley faces all over a pumpkin pie. my dad retaliated and drew a frowny face. killjoy.
+ watched, rewatched, and re-rewatched the Lawrence Welk Show sister act skit on nbc.com/snl. Oh man, the tiny hands. The honey-cat entree. The blimpy forehead. The jutty tooth. “With my by myself.” Can’t get over it. Cannot get over it and cannot stop watching it. I know, I’m horrible. Kristen Wiig, you’re my hero.
what are your prose and kahns for the week?
As far as I can tell, these should all be Pros! I’m so glad you are back because everything you write makes me laugh out loud.
Shell, you’re forgetting all about repeatedly watching (and laughing, of course) at Kristen Wiig’s character in “The Lawrence Welk Show” sketch on SNL! Definite pro for me this week! Con: I too had a bee crash into my forehead – just yesterday afternoon as I was bringing in the mail. Once, I had one fly into my car and land on my lap while I was driving. Despite my phobia of bees, I kept my wits about me and did not get into a car accident.
OOF! I left out Kristen Wiig!! Penance, must pay penance. I will update my bloggo for you Mel.
