So apparently it's Girl Scout Cookie season. I say "apparently" because there has been neither hide nor hair of the color-coordinated salespersons anywhere near my neighborhood. And I capitalize "Cookie" because they are pretty much the ultimate alpha-magnum... um, -pi example of commercially baked goods.

But I digress. (shocking, i know).

So the other day, I was on the way to a friends' house for a celebration in honor of the day my beloved saw natural light for the first time (a very good day, indeed). Stopping to purchase some beverage-age for said fete, I could finally throw "apparently" to the wayside as there on the Publix entrance ramp stood a GSC sales booth. As my wife and I perused the available selections, a rather large man tromped up and requested a box of Thin Mints. "I already have ten of these at home, but you can never really have too many Thin Mints," he commented in my direction (mistaking complete disengagement with rapt attention). "I think I know where they go, if you know what I'm saying," he continued, pointing at his left-hand ring finger. Though the finger was clad in multiple shades of gold, i can only assume that he was left handed and was therefore referring to his preferred method of delivery.
Later, it turned out that he was parked right next to our vehicle. To the surprise of no one, as he struggled to heft himself into his monster truck, he called out, "Welp, time for some WARCRAFT!!"


I'm a terrible person. this still makes me laugh aloud.

random things that have passed through my head of late:

Person C: "They're the bobbsey twins!"
The Mutt: "Wow, i haven't heard that name in a while.."
C: "Really? What is it?"
Mutt: "The Bobbsey Twins."
C: "yeah, i don't have any idea what that actually is.."
Mutt (internally): "wow, that's kind of funny, C. though in the future i recommend KNOWING WHAT THE %^* YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!"


"What?!?? It's a nice room-elephant. It fits well over there, don't you think? All gray and wrinkly, like the couch. And we've been thinking about going African-safari themed with this room anyway; what better excuse to get started? Well ok, we haven't really, but who doesn't love a good decorating experiment?"



Also, Fantasia Mini Golf. 'Nuff said.
