Mindful of his size (16 lb doggo) I used to give my little buddy a few chocolate chips whenever I would have them. He lived to 17. He died before I learned chocolate wasn’t good for dogs.
After much research, I've decided that I like Brandi Carlisle's cover of Fairytale of New York the most. Though I do love a lot of the flashmob versions as well.
Post-delivery Bear took a Benadryl to hasten sleep. "Pit Bulls and Parolees" was on. An adoptive family came in with their current Boston terriers to check compatibility... and my brain instantly decided the more bug-eyed one was "the canine equivalent of the 1968 CBS logo."
Not entirely sure I want to know what my brain would be like on TWO of those.
I took a benadryl in the middle of the day for some reason when I was 18 and it made me feel like the dumbest person on the planet until I fell asleep 30 minutes later.
OK, I’m scaring myself. The next big project is re-organizing the wall of books in the dining room. Which means taking them all off the shelf, and hopefully figuring out a way to reposition the shelf so I can put an aquarium on the bottom level, so the cats can enjoy. And and so I can enjoy. Also inventorying and categorizing and sorting the books.
It’s that moment when you’re standing at the bottom of a mountain, looking up, wondering what the actual fuck you were thinking.

I don't think caffeine or chocolate are good for kitties.
Mindful of his size (16 lb doggo) I used to give my little buddy a few chocolate chips whenever I would have them. He lived to 17. He died before I learned chocolate wasn’t good for dogs.
Correct. Don't do it.
It isn't. The Crew's role is purely ceremonial.
Still, there's catnip.
That reminds me. I really need to get to ye olde dispensary.
With the flashmob instances of Fairytale of New York, I do find it astonishing how many people in the audience know the lyrics.

I take six benadryls before I can notice an effect. I sometimes do this twice a day. This may explain a lot about me.
It takes a lot to dumb you down.
I think I have an abnormally large (or small) number of histamine receptors.

It'd be funny if they finally agreed to perform and then just sat there making random sounds with their instruments.
Yeah, a jazz show.
Hey, if they complain just get miffed and tell them they don't understand art because they don't.
Ahh, the old "Pearls before swine" ploy.
I think more like the Emperor’s new clothes.
It'd be like a musical Trump speech!

You can't push a rope you STUPID mother fuckers.
They should be forced to piss up a rope for our general entertainment.
And suck the wet end, as my Mom would say.
A shellacked rope.
I pity all those sacrificed lac bugs!
They gave their lives to polish our furniture!
Q: Why are you pulling that rope?
A: Ever try pushing one?
You have to get them really stiff.
I'm sure they'll find a nice way to tell them to fuck off.
Every picture tells a story don't it?

ETA. I might actually be able to make this work.

Chevy Chase Was Put Into a Coma for 8 Days After Heart Failure and ‘Basically Came Back From the Dead’: ‘The Doctor Warned Us We Might Not Get Him Back’

Redacted comment.
It always irritated me he was promoted as The Star of SNL and the true talent was treated like And The Rest from Gilligan's Island.
He let it go to his head, which tells you something. I thought he was funny, but that was a long time ago. He is irredeemable IMO.
It was NBC's idea the show NEEDED a Star and for whatever reason they chose him. I thought they were all funny except Garrett Morris but he got shit lines so I don't blame him.
SNL not been bery good to him?
THAT was the funniest line they wrote for him!
