Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

[Camazotz Automat]

I saw an albino squirrel at Trader Joe's last Thursday.

His fur was perfect.

[Yorkshire pud]

I expected to be deeply affected by this Brangelina bombshell, and am concerned because I feel nothing.  Does that mean I'm already dead and don't know it?

How very dare you!!! If their marriage break up isn't the single most pressing thing in that miserable existence you laughingly call life, then clearly you losing the tickets for our romantic health spa weekend in Helsinki isn't going to upset you much.. Damn your eyes.

[zeebo]

The squirrel in the smoking attire,
Whose presence lent grace to this place,
When, 'round the electronic fire,
We type, though it feels face-to-face,
Has met an untimely demise --
By car, with a squeal and a toot?
Nay!  I saw the look in the eyes
That peered from his brand-new space suit.
Our friend, sure the first of his kind
To answer the call of the stars,
Had got in his peanut-sized mind
To dodge asteroids, and not cars.
Though none here will question his boldness --
Of courage he'd never a dearth --
We feared for his fur 'gainst the coldness
That reigns past the borders of earth.
What happened to our furry friend
Since we were all typing last night?
His limbs -- look, see here! -- they won't bend,
And, by God, his fur is all white!
The mysteries we all discuss,
The UFOs, aliens green,
Our friend has now seen before us,
and Oh! could he tell what he's seen!
But death has sealed his furry lips;
We're left with our only surmise:
What waits when we board rocket ships
Will shock far more than just our eyes.

It's kind of weird to applaud a work made in memoriam to yourself, but well done and thank you sir.  This one goes in my bellgab scrapbook.

You tough old son of a bitch.  Nobody does it better than you. 

Between you and me?  I think I can get the bowling thing fixed.  But the wound is just too fresh for them now.  If you would, flash a little regret grimace when you drop off your ball (and the bag.)

So don't go and throw away your bowling shoes or nothing of the sort.  I have a good feeling about this part of it all at least.

Things just need to cool down.  We're all still in so much shock over the passing of...   of....  Brangie.

P.S.

Karen says "Hiya, Mickey!"

No worries. My ball and shoes are safely hidden, but accessible at a moment's notice should Mr. Pitt ever decide that he could profit in some way from my meager but unique skill set. Praise BP!

I don't care about the badge and Glock, but at least let me keep my drop piece. The streets need cleaning, and you know better than anyone that I'm the guy who can do it quietly so it never gets back to you. I would eat a bullet before jeopardizing your political ambitions, because I know you want to want to get rid of the trash that's been stinking up this town for way too long.

And tell Karen I still love her even though she wound up marrying you. Also tell her that her big brother gives her permission to smack some sense into you whenever you need it.

Haha that's kind of an absurdist fantasy come true!  I'm relieved you're still with us.  I hope it will still serve to eulogize your albino cousin; there aren't enough biographical details to construct a fitting tribute beyond the sad nut-gathering ground that's been plowed many times over.

[K_Dubb]

Bravo, sir! One of your finest BG verses to date!  Your Muse is obviously none the worse for the drudgery she recently endured at Hallmark.

I, too, will miss zeebo.  His irrepressible, bright eyed, bushy tailed good cheer and joie de vivre, as the Italians are so fond of saying, brought a smile to every Bellgabber's face and nary a discouraging word from anyone.  May his nuts be eternally crunchy.

Thanks!  There's more than a whiff of Robert Service's rustic muse about her -- will have to get my neighbor to clean out that culvert before the next rainstorm.

Most glad you are still drawing breath - we were worried!

Shots for zeebo

[ItsOver]

Thanks all for the kind words, thoughts, poems, and drinks!  Reports of my demise have once again been exaggerated.   

Jorch will be highly pissed over this.  He had a special Zeebo commemorative show planned that will have to be canned now.  It was going to be excerpts of his top 10 nuts from over the years.  Now Tommy will have to cancel their early IHOP reservation.

Don't tell him. (Yeah, I know. A bit late.) Let him go on with the show and then have Zeebo call in. The Nooron will be absolutely delighted thinking he's communicating with Zeebo the dead squirrel. Heck, even I'd listen in just for that one.

Not so bad

I really don't want to think of zeebo burying anything anywhere but in the ground, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't, either. No ifs, ands, or....you know.

[Camazotz Automat]

Good point, you ACME-hating bastard.

But still, some believe you can be the Coyote and "this time" turn it all around and catch the bird.  You just have to bend the rules a little and kidnap one of the cartoon scriptwriter's children and open up a dialog with these predestination creating uppity writer assholes. 

I kid.

But I stand by my first draw.  When you start feeling like you're falling for her, you have to stop.  Take inventory.  And determine who is REALLY the Coyote and who is the Road Runner.  You may believe you are the Road Runner, but it's all cels and shadows.

The rules could also be helpfully used for observing internet dating, as in being the third party trying to warn a friend not to go down that road again.

"You remember that chick off match.com?  Do you?  Goddamn it, she tried to poison you, Lennie.  Have you forgotten that?  She laced your PEZ candy with God knows what and was planning to Beep Beep all the way to the motherhumping bank thanks to the insurance target you set up for her!  Is that what you really want?  Are you that goddamn desperate?  To die for it?"

"Well, luckily, I had my ACME antidote kit and ..."

"Damn it, Lennie!  She didn't have to watch you get your stomach pumped!  I did!  I dragged your Coyote ass to the ER!"

"But..."

"Fuck you, and fuck ACME.  And fuck that creepy rabbit PEZ dispenser."

"But, George..."

All valid points, but that's not what I meant. I was referring to the kind of "Road Runner and Coyote" activities that imaginative, adventurous mommies and daddies who love each other very much sometimes like to engage in when the kids are at camp or sleeping over at a friend's house. 

I will add to that that being the Road Runner means never having to chew off any appendages in order to make a quick getaway in the morning if the situation warrants it.

The rabbit Pez dispenser is creepy, but I would love to have a Harvey model that dispenses rum, Elwood!

LOL.  Plus, Jennifer obviously has a great sense of humor.  Yep, it was a big mistake to leave her.

Did he leave her, or did Jen leave him. I don't follow the gossip rags. And yes, I'd take Jen over Angelina Voight any day.

Stay the hell away from the Falkie thread for a while and some semblance of feeling should begin to return.    

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Went for a walk today and came across this.

It's a good omen - I think?      Came back with a spade to bury the fallen
but the carcass was gone.

OMG !  Did you snap that pic outside a safeway ? Did the poor little fella see Falkie and turn white out of fear or maybe disgust ? Zeebo's on the moon doing recon for winter storage and checking out the martini bars and Andorian women, so that can't be him, but he's not going to be happy when he finds out about this. 
Perhaps it was just an EVP (Electronic Visual Phenomenon ? )
Inquiring minds want to know.

We have real roadrunners where I live.  Well, this is the random stupid thoughts thread. This statement qualifies

Same here.  Greater Roadrunners are gorgeous birds.  I'm always surprised at how quickly they acclimate to humans.

I've been known to try to capture their likeness on canvas, paper, napkin, and crappy old camera sensor chip.

The downside is that I also like the snakes in my area, and roadrunners are adept snake killers.  Which keeps things in check since the snakes raid various bird nests.  So whaddya gonna do?  Live and let hunt/live.

Yeah I have one living next door and my supply of snakes and lizards in yard goes down. But on the good side they are one of the only animals who will eat Tarantula Hawk wasps.
