True Triscuit Story
So last night I am on facebook minding my own business in the rabbit room while Dave is sleeping when all of a sudden there is a loud, boom boom splatter splash clang from the kitchen. Of course my mind automatically goes to killer who somehow shimmied in our second story kitchen window. So here I am with the rabbit thinking , this rabbit better be ready to attack when the murderer makes it to our room. I barricade myself in the room and wait a while and of course now I start hearing all sorts of noises that in hindsight were nothing but at the time were "I bet he is letting all his murderer friends in through the front door now" ( now i know why my dad likes a door that needs a key on both sides, cuz then once the murderer is in the house he can't just let all his murderer friends in)..It was like 130am and didn't want to wake any of my friends up so I call (e:paul) who was three hours behind in vegas, but he did not answer , though I pretended he did and talked loudly to the dial tone about how tough I am to scare off the murderer.

Anywho, after waiting a while I finally decide to sneak out of the room and into the bedroom where Dave is sleeping. I try to wake him up and get him to go search out the killers with me but he just continues sleeping so I grab a stapler and the vacuum hose thing and head for the kitchen. What I was going to do with a stapler and vaccuum hose is kinda not clear but they seemed like the best weapons at the time. Staplers are kinda scary actually if you think about it. Who wants to be stapled? I sure don't? BUt then you kind have to be in close proximity to staple someone but like if they are about to stab you, a quick staple to their face might just save your life. and on second thought if they do stab you, you could staple your wound shut? So really at first I thought the stapler was a bad idea but it turns out it is prolly very useful and a good weapon/healing device.Anyway, way off track now.

So I go into the kitchen , mind you if someone was really in the kitchen I would most likely freeze in panic , fall to the ground and die. I am not what one would call a survivor. I never thought I would be. I would never be the person on those shows who fought back or last months hiding out or anyting like that, I would most likely just die of fright after peeing my pants. But anywho I was feeling tough with my stapler and vaccuum hose, go into the kitchen and....

NOONE was there. The box of triscuits just fell off of our crooked shelf and knocked some silverware on the counter onto the floor. BUT , did the triscuits fall or were they pushed over/ So now I have to search the whole apartment for the murderer but come up empty handed.

So you would think ok no murderer must mean a happy mike .NOPE. Now since there is no murderer I decided it must be a ghost and thus did not sleep well at all last night ...but as of today no murderers or ghosts so I guess it really was just a box of triscuits all along. WHo knew?

I just laughed so hard at this all over again. "So I go into the kitchen , mind you if someone was really in the kitchen I would most likely freeze in panic , fall to the ground and die. I am not what one would call a survivor. "
mk - 12/05/11 17:34
Oh my goodness I will never get tired of reading stories like this.
metalpeter - 11/30/11 17:53
On a serious side double sided locks aren't safe at all and can get people killed...

Think of it this way someone inside decides to try and hurt you or someone else or this is a fire or smoke or some reason you have to leave go to the door oh that is right with out the key you can't get out..... Now at first you might think but I keep my keys on me at all times .... Great but what about when one person goes out and leaves the other person or guest in the house.... Guess what no said guest can't leave......
YesThatCasey - 11/30/11 12:35
ok, I laughed my ass off during that whole reading...that was awesome.

I may carry a mini-stapler with me from now on.

Maybe you have a house mouse?
tinypliny - 11/30/11 10:21
You could have poked the vaccum hose into his/her mouth to stop them from yelling out to waiting accomplices.
tinypliny - 11/30/11 10:20
As a side note, I think pro murderers do it all very quietly. Whoever hired a hit on you was being cheap. Also, regular staples don't work on lacerations and other ugly active wounds. You need surgical grade.

Goodbye Regis
So I just watched the final episode of Live with Regis and Kelly. Starting next week it is just Live with Kelly. I have watched Live for years , way back in the Kathie Lee days and then I wasn't sure how I felt about how Kelly Ripa as going to work out but she really did and was great also. I can't believe they just said she has been on for 11 years, it seems like just yesterday it was Kathie Lee (wow I am getting old). ANywho it is not about Kelly or Kathie today is all about Reege. I think he is really entertaining and a great morning show personality. I have always loved watching ths how and while lately I haven't been watching it as much as I used to when I do catch it I still really find it so fun to watch. It was like nothing classy or flashy but just good fun morning chatter and celebrity interviews and lots of games people could call in and win on. I feel like it was the perfect low budget , hosts will do anything fun but somehow came across as a little classy.

ANwyho, so today is Regis's final episode and they are doing all these tributes and video montages and y'all know I love myself a good video memory montage and I seriously was balling during Kelly Ripa's goodbye speech and when the cast of Rent sang Seasons of Love but personalized it for Regis. Ridiculous that I started balling twice during Regis's last episode but really it is a goodbye. He really is a class act.
mk - 11/27/11 21:11
They changed the lyrics for Regis??? That's great I want to hear them. You better have it memorized for the next time we hang out in 2013.
lilho - 11/18/11 22:07
You are better than Perez.... Why aren't you a professional blogger? I would invest in you...


Low budget, but somewhat classy, you always make me laugh!
tinypliny - 11/18/11 21:49
Kelly Ripa

Who is this? Is this the same as Kathi Lee? Or is it some relation of Regis and Kelly. I am so confused.
paul - 11/18/11 18:39
I can totally imagine this situation.
metalpeter - 11/18/11 16:58
Haven't seen much of it other then clips of people on the show.... Kelly is pretty hot.... That being said Sunday on Fox they have this part where they do a skit and make pics and they did a Regis and Kelly thing and it was pretty good so....

Dinner Time
So my parents and (e:paul) and (e:terry) are coming over for dinner tonight and 1 of the 2 things I am making I have never made before and does not have a clear recipe....this could be a disaster
matthew - 11/16/11 10:56
Paul told me last night that it was excellent.
tinypliny - 11/15/11 16:10
Or it could be a smashing success where everyone keeps begging you for the recipe and you give a batted-eyelash and whisper its a secret (when in fact you have no idea what went in).

Sad Songs`
haha so true , I loved this


tinypliny - 11/18/11 21:15
Wow - she had vocal cord haemorrhage! :::link:::

She does scream quite a lot and you can always hear the strain in her voice in that song. On hindsight, maybe it was not so much about emotion as vocal cord dysfunction!
lilho - 11/17/11 09:31
they took it down. :o(
tinypliny - 11/15/11 18:53
hahah - I had never heard that song before now. She has a good voice right up till she screams. :)
metalpeter - 11/15/11 17:57
Good song...... wow that is a lot of ice cream mess...... Love the manscaria even the window guy that is great then the people watching the skit that is great!!!!!!!!

Dance Paul Dance
(e:paul) really got his dance on last night, hopefully hearing this song again will make him dance dance dance:


metalpeter - 11/15/11 18:00
Kinda a Fan of hers I must admit but don't know this this song.... Not just cause she is hot... Not just cause of all kinds of things I can't say or I could on here of what she could do to me.... But more a fan of the singing and not this style...Kinda sounds like Madonna .........
