Ah, yes. Here’s the outrage.

you: I have to put the cat to sleep.
me: why?
you: he’s leaving the dentist’s poop all over the house.
me: how does he get the dentist’s poop?
you: I give it to him.
she: why?
me: yeah, why?
you: because he’s bored. he needs something to play with.
she: but how do you know it’s the dentist’s poop?
you: I am the dentist.

Burble

Tonight in his sleep, Sam said:
“He wants a chocolate Gogurt
and to fight bad guys.”
He said it a couple of times.
Always like that — in the third-person.
And then he fell back asleep.
And I say:
Congratulations!
Enemies of evil!
Congratulations!
Gogurt people!
International chocolate conspiracy!
You own part of my child’s brain.

Party time

He wasn’t very smart,
or very rich,
or very successful.
But he was six-foot-three.
And at parties, he would
slide up silent
behind his smarter, richer,
more successful,
better-looking friends.
Head to head.
Back to back.
And hang out for a while.

x-post: And the hell, and the so-called “Poppins” of it all

Monkey Vortex Radio Theater is back with an all-new segment: Hell’s a Poppins! Featuring the MVRT script debut of Eileen Dahl and the MVRT acting debut of Heather Gottschalk plus, the inspirational return of Bill “King” Cassel in this, his most challenging role yet. You will believe a boy can fly!
Note: Although that last part — the part about you? believing a boy can fly? — although it doesn’t really have much to do with Hell’s a Poppins, nonetheless, I think it’s true.
Which is weird. Of you.
To believe.
Such a thing.

Today’s big movie idea:

A post-apocalyptic romantic comedy.
You know, like, it’s the big first date
and he’s all wigged out
because he doesn’t know if
the girl’s a girl
or if she’s
a flesh-eating zombie.
Starring Mathew Broderick.
And introducing: a flesh-eating zombie.
