Doesn't he look glorious and happy??? The thing that gets me is we were playing with another toy, a purchased toy,and one he likes, but the sticks always win out. It's like giving a child a wonderful toy and then them playing with the box it came in. :)
Happy Birthday, Jennifer! I dont think i'll be having any beers, but I have been invited to some Eid Feasts - which should give me a food coma grade 2 at least :)
Thank you! I was going to ease my entry into batdom with a soothing beverage this morning, but alas, awoke to find that the Riddled crew, having a jumpstart of my b-day due to that whole "time zone" thingie... had already emptied the liquor cabinet AND took the presents!
Birding and butterflying have long been popular. With the advent of easy-to-use field guides and common, colorful names like neon skimmer and thornbush dasher, the pursuit of dragonflies and damselflies is finally taking off.

I do recall a time when I had to take the dreaded Greyhound bus somewhere and had a huge drawing pad with me. I was seated in the back, but when I got up to leave, did not get my drawing pad situated just right and managed to smack every seat/head on both sides of the aisle simultaneously. Fortunately I did remove my skis before exiting.
Dammit! My damn spell check is in Spanish again! Someone remind me where I change this. I thought there was an option before commenting, but now can't find it! Grrrr.
Chew on a B-day Eve stick!

Also... I do NOT find it humorous that word verf gave me "fifty" as a word...

Now while I'm in NO HURRY to cross the decade barrier, that did make me smile. Have a zillion beers, OK???
Word verf is wise.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 19, 2012 at 04:11 PM
Oh wait, it's Monday morning, isn't it??? Maybe you should not have a zillon beers. Or... maybe that's what we all should do on Monday mornings.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 19, 2012 at 04:14 PM
Well, if you say so, J.

Dogs are so unhygienic. For all he knows, a *child* might have been chewing on that stick before.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | August 19, 2012 at 05:19 PM
I never thought I'd say this, but who cares about DOGS??? What I really want to know is, are you drinking beer???
Posted by: Jennifer | August 19, 2012 at 05:22 PM
I am, Jennifer.
I figured I better get an early start on tomorrow morning.
If only I had some Magic Shell to pour on my beer...

Maybe on passionfruit beer?

Drinking beer now and opening your presents.
Don't worry, we'll put the paper back on and they'll be as good as new.

thunder, it seems that you will soon have a whole bunch of new butterflies to search out.

I got some butterflies, and it looks like they were seeking Magic Shell. Or mud.

I hope Jennifer is getting all Geschtunked and comes back to make comments.
Bonus points if she uses a Kindle to do it.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 20, 2012 at 09:10 PM
I got some butterflies, but an hour later I was hungry again.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 20, 2012 at 09:10 PM
Maybe you should have put Magic Shell on them, zrm.

How about making little "cups" out of Magic Shell, and drinking Bailey's out of them?

Somehow I have not yet ended up on the AARP mailing list! Woo-hoo!

did you ever see a dog who picks up a stick that is more than 3 feet long, and happily tries to trot through a door with it?
However, Some dogs do not give up so easily.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 21, 2012 at 01:48 PM
No shit...

I haven't taken the dreaded Greyhound in so long I can't remember.
When you were a kid, it wasn't so bad...everything was roomier!
~
Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | August 21, 2012 at 10:36 PM
I was in college when I took it that time. I think that was the only time I took it. Once was enough.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 22, 2012 at 08:41 AM
I took the bus from NYC to Atlantic City a number of times after collage.
Those were nicer buses, though. (At least when they didn't crash and kill people.)
~
Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | August 22, 2012 at 11:03 AM
That's often desirable in a bus, thundr
Posted by: Zombie rotten mcdonald | August 22, 2012 at 12:34 PM
to be clear, I meant it is often desirable that buses don't crash and kill people.
I ws commenting from my phone at Five Guys. Frankly, I am surprised I could manage the capcha at all.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 22, 2012 at 01:57 PM
Was the capcha ketchup and mustard?
Posted by: Jennifer | August 22, 2012 at 01:59 PM
I guess the way I put that, it follows that it is sometimes desirable for buses to crash and kill people.
I don't think anyone can argue with that.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | August 22, 2012 at 05:07 PM
Sounds like you're talking about a "legitimate" crash...
