She misspelled "HALPING".

If EL wanted to be *really* helpful she would bring you a snack. Still wriggling but wrapped up in a silk cocoon.

Perhaps we should put off eating Jennifer for now.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 07:39 AM
So, did you ground her?
Well played, EL. Well played indeed.

Very cool! It's like a family blogging affair over here!
Happy New Year's Eve Eve, Saying Yes Family!

LOL@ Laura.
Laura... since you're fairly new, let me break out the explaining voice and tell you that I am deathly afraid of speedras... and most of my blog friends know this, causing them to put up speedra posts that are tagged, "Helping Jennifer". Ironically, Charlotte's Web was one of my favorite childhood books...
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 09:42 AM
For example.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Actually, I am rather proud of this one.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 10:41 AM
And I believe this was my response to the one you are rather proud of... and then I got a bunch of email asking me what was wrong!?!
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Needs moar animation.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 10:54 AM
I'd be happy to act it out for you, fish. :)
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 10:56 AM
I don't think I have ever done a speedra post. Wife Sublime has the same issue, so it's probably the one place where I don't go (DON'T misspell a word though!@). Many smooshed speedras on my part. She gets kind of squicked. though, when I do it with my bare hand.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 10:59 AM

You said that on purpose... that's just as bad as a speedra post.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 11:11 AM
Note to self...
Do NOT let these a-holes know your fear! :P
(fish, you are awesome though... just sayin)
Posted by: Laura | December 30, 2011 at 11:24 AM
(fish, you are awesome though... just sayin)
Oh dear... and we just got his head deflated enough for the rest of us to fit back in here and there you going, filling it all up again.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 11:34 AM
Haha.
I blamed fish for the "Helping Jennifer" speedra bizness, but never hit submit before the culprit showed up.
I walked my dad's dog to the lake, instead.

Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | December 30, 2011 at 11:46 AM
fish used to help me a lot... he also used to put up bad double entendre ads that fell under the "Helping Jennifer" tag. I think there was also a lot of "explaining voice" that fell under the same tag, including a Dr. fish explains why magnets don't kill watches. He's still WRONG!
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 11:53 AM
I'm now trying to remember why this one was supposed to be helpful to me... It seems it's only helpful to fish... not every library story has a happy ending.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 11:57 AM
And of course, fish, long ago, blew up all comments that might have left a trail. Now he can feign innocence. Pffft. We know better.
Yes, Laura, be afraid, be very afraid.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 11:58 AM
thundra- what kind of pooch does your father have? Does he own those glorious wolfhounds?
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Dr. fish explains why magnets don't kill watches
I explained how magnets can be used to travel into the past. But only with Dora the Explora watches.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 12:05 PM
LOL! That's right. I forgot about that.
I also still can't believe you fish-handled them like that and then RETURNED THEM!
HAVE YOU NO SHAME??
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 12:07 PM
I'm now trying to remember why this one was supposed to be helpful to me
I believe that was a demonstration of how anything can be turned into a double entendre. Even a library card.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 12:08 PM
No, I remember that, but there was moar... something else blogwise that was semi-related.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 12:10 PM
But only with Dora the Explora watches.
GAH! I forgot the results of my own experiment. It was a DIEGO digital watch and that wouldn't time travel...
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 12:11 PM
Geeze, fish! You're not aging well, are you...
It sure would be nice if we had had comments to go with those old posts... sigh.
Also, I thought the cheesy ads were under Helping Jennifer, but alas, they were not. I think they were merely filthbot bait.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 12:16 PM
I'm still trying to figure out what that crumb was that showed up between 5:24 and 5:30 (Merona time).
fish must have been multi-tasking and doing a DoD as well.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 12:20 PM
Jennifer, he used to have a wolfhound, but that dog has joined the others in doggy heaven.
Current dog is from a W.V. pet shelter and is the famous "shepherd-weiler."
~
Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | December 30, 2011 at 01:20 PM
Yay for saving a pound hound!
Does it look more shepherdy or more weilery?
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 01:28 PM
You be the judge...here's Theta.
~
Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | December 30, 2011 at 01:48 PM
What a baby!! Her head looks like my very first dog! Also a mutt... Shepherd and something else we were never sure of, although I'm guessing no Rottweiler since she was only about 60lbs.
How old is she? And how big?? I was thinking she didn't look like she was done growing, but when I saw the legs and paws, maybe she is. I keep forgetting not every pooch is the beefmaster like my retriever.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 01:53 PM
She's around 90 pounds, I think (I could be wrong), and at least 5 years old.
The shelter described her as a 'shepherd mix', and the first vet my parents took her to said 'oh, you've got a rottie!'
~
Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | December 30, 2011 at 02:07 PM
I think I love Theta.
Does your Dad wanna trade for an Orange Black Mouth Cur?
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 02:23 PM
"Beefmaster"
LOL
Snag might want that as his title. Maybe Porkmaster, although that goes in a different direction and zombie should just shut up now.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 02:25 PM
She's 90lbs! No way! Look at those fragile little legs and paws! Can you take another photo with something for scale besides the earth?? She must be taller than I'm thinking. Again, I think it's the angle of the photo. She's a pretty dog though. She is a she, right??
Also, I could see "rottie" with that blockhead. :)It's a cute blockhead, but it's a blockhead.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 02:25 PM
Geeze, fish! You're not aging well, are you...
Did you mean Geezerfish?
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 02:26 PM
Yeah, I'm not sure Snag wants to be Porkmaster. :)
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 02:26 PM
Geezerfish
:)
Which also makes me think of how tight fish says he is... tight and old... Ebengeezerfish.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 02:33 PM
Also... if anyone would like to know, my dyer is fixed (no baby dryers for it!) and I can now do laundry in my own home instead of in my haunted m-i-l's house!!!
I am guessing the thrill of this will wane soon.

If your dyer is working I would like all my shirts in green.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 03:21 PM
LOL! Yes, it was definitely the angle of the photo! Now I can see those being attached to a 90lbs dog. I don't know what yours are attached to. :)
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 03:21 PM
If your dyer is working I would like all my shirts in green.
LOL!
In 2112, we'll all call them dyers... :-P
Don't worry fish, I'll have yours dyed in green AND RED! Anything to make fish happy.

Your dad is feeding that creature Food Of The Gods, apparently.
I don't want her anymore. Couldn't afford to feed her, and I fear I would be first on the list when the kibble gets scarce...
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 03:38 PM
With teh size of Poopsie, thundra, and the leash on your wrist, it kinda looks like Theta was walking YOU.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 03:45 PM
FOTG will always make me think of Ida Lupino dying in the arms of a rat.

Theta looks like a jumbo longhaired version of my dog.
Posted by: fish | December 30, 2011 at 04:03 PM

You wouldn't believe it. She gets every kind of food that my dad thinks he would like in her bowl.
She eats better than we did when we were kids.
~
Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | December 30, 2011 at 04:04 PM
P.S. She responds surprisingly well to "Hold still, Theta, I'm taking a picture."
(Referring to scenery and lakes and such as, and not Theta herself. None of the dogs holds still when you're trying to take their pics.)

I wish it were nog time... unfortunately I'm taking one of my poochies to the vet for lump-checkout time.
Enjoy your nog, BG!!
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 04:32 PM
Hope your pooch is ok, Jennifer!
If I'm drinking nog this time next week, please hold an intervention.
Posted by: blue girl | December 30, 2011 at 04:35 PM
just had a back-channel discussion about Milwaukee brewed absinthe. perhaps that would be a better choice, BG.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 04:38 PM
I don't think I've ever had absinthe. Sounds potent.
Posted by: blue girl | December 30, 2011 at 04:47 PM
Is it Mr. Handsome or Squirmy, Jennifer?
Either way, hoping for good doggy luck.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 04:47 PM
Lamblet is awesome! That is pure comedy gold.

No it's very mild. Nothing to worry about.

Posted by: blue girl | December 30, 2011 at 05:15 PM
I don't think I've ever had absinthe. Sounds potent.
It's got a high alcohol content- that's why it "clouds up" when you pour water into it. I have a bottle of Kübler absinth at home, and it's 106 proof. I don't really dig the anise flavor all that much, so I just drink it sparingly.
Posted by: Big Bad Bald Bastard | December 30, 2011 at 05:22 PM
Shush, Bastard.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 05:24 PM
Ha Ha Ha! BBBB being so nice and kind and innocent totally gave you away, Zombie!!
Posted by: blue girl | December 30, 2011 at 05:38 PM
It was Mr. Handsome, and he's fine... a couple of sebaceous cysts and one lipoma! One was growing fast though so I was kind of nervous.
The new absinthe doesn't cause insanity anymore, right?? I mean, isn't that the only reason why they can sell it?
I like anise.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 05:46 PM
Glad to hear Mr. Handsome is doing handsomely!
Posted by: blue girl | December 30, 2011 at 05:50 PM
The new absinthe doesn't cause insanity anymore, right
Like I need to worry.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 05:53 PM
Thanks for the kind doggie wishes. :)
I bet BBBB makes his own absinthe... right next to his lemoncello and purslane grappa (I know you can't make grappa out of purslane, I'm just messing... I just remember one grappa I had, that my father loved, tasting like lawn clippings mixed with gasoline).
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 06:01 PM
We're supposed to go to a party this evening and I'm in no mood. I am Ms. Antisocial this season... not cranky, but just don't feel like mixing.

Thundra- maybe you should come with. We could not mix together.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 30, 2011 at 06:16 PM
Yes! We could just drink in the corner and make fun of everybody.

I don't like absinthe enough to make it... waste of good grain alcohol! I'd be willing to try a purslane grappa, though... verdolaga and vodka would be good at brunch.
Posted by: Big Bad Bald Bastard | December 30, 2011 at 09:25 PM
yeah, BBBB is not old-skool enough to do absinthe....Edgar Allen would be displeased, if we could rouse him.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 30, 2011 at 09:47 PM

Ooops...I sweared.

Oh well. Got a couple of sketches done, anyway, and kind of pleased with how they came out.
