BUYING TIME

I sure wish I could find out where the sell this. Oh yeah, who of us couldn't use some extra time?

But I haven't found the location where it can be done yet. Honestly, I wish they would run an ad or something.

Nothing special our good for everyone type of stuff. You know like those places were they claim they have some miracle cure for whatever. Then you get it and it doesn't work.

I always hate when that happens. So I sure don't want to find out this is like that either. That sure doesn't sound like the kind of thing that will make life better.

But then I'm glad I don't have to worry about it all the time. Just want to find this option if I could.

Now I had sort of figured you know that this would involve something like say a store that sells watches. I mean you know time and all of that would be like a good place to figure they would have stuff.

But I don't know, when I went into a store and ask them if I could buy time they were hardly that helpful. They tired to sell me a watch.

But then I told them how I wanted to buy some seconds. And man they said they couldn't do that.

I figure it meant you needed to be part of some special club or something. And maybe have some secret handshake.

All those super secret organizations seem to really specialize in such things. At least from what I can tell.

And I figured they would give me a break and maybe even cough up a single extra second. What could it hurt?

I guess a lot since they sure didn't make that an option. Man that was just plain crap. And who needs that?

Well I'm not giving up though. I'm going to keep working on it till I can find out where I can do that.

I bet they aren't clever enough to try and hide all the places you can do this. Maybe they don't want to tell me, but they will screw up sooner or later.

In the meantime I'm going to work on this my own way. I got myself a stop watch and an alarm clock. Somehow I figure I can get them to cooperate.

GOING FOR IT

Is this ever a bad option? I'm trying to decide. And so far I can't think of a time it is bad. Because you aren't going to go for it when the thing is yucky? Well, at least I wouldn't.

But that is my choice. Can't say it is true for everyone else. Not from what I can tell. I've seen a lot of people who see to be after lots of stuff that I wouldn't think was worth going for.

I don't know I guess some people are just kind of weird. Now I ask you does it make sense to go for weird junk?

Like going for stuff like say beer. Personally I don't get that part. I mean that stuff to me tastes nasty. Okay, I know that is just my view, but it is how I see it.

So going for it is not on my list of things to do. Which apparently is differently for other folks since the will go for it.

And then once they go for it they have it and then what? I mean do you get to win something in the process?

I could sort of see if you could trade it off for something really good. Now sure what, but that would sort of make sense I reckon.

Oh well, I got my own list of going for it. Like naturally jelly beans ranks up there pretty high.

But I do think of other stuff too. After all you can't be too limited here without it causing problems.

So I like to think of stuff like going for the good times by bashing the griminals. Which is a nice thing to go for.

Not sure on this business about going for the gusto. I don't know that guy. Not truly clear on why you would need to go after that guy unless he is like rich or something.

You know in which case spending time doing junk for him would be a good thing. Providing he was the decent type and returned the favor.

Some people can be kind of sneaky in that regard. I just am not sure that is a good thing. And worth going for.

Which again is important to me. Honestly you better have the joy of you know this going for it business being a good deal.

Other wise I sure would think going for it would be a reason to smile. Not as far as I could think I would want to do.

SILL

You know I have to admit that I like the idea of silly when it is fun. I don't like silly when it is insane.

I have found a few times that truly is way too much to cope with. Yeah, there is silly which gives you a smile and silly which leaves you scratching your head.

I hope we don't forget, which is which. But from what I can tell I sure see way too many cases of the type that leave me scratching my head.

Oh yeah, they happen too often. At least from what I can tell. I mean just look at the way people drive. It can sure be silly, but it ain't always fun.

Wish it were. But it just seems like it don't work out that way. Yeah, people get way too weird in that regard.

Leave you really imagining they got a problem with reality. Only they never admit it. Take for example that thing about personalize license plates.

Will somebody tell me what the deal is with having some plate with some bunch of letters that you have no idea what they say. Too me that says they are personally an idiot or moron. Is this something you need to tell the whole world?

I sure don't think it is a good thing. But that is me. Plus since I drive a moped I know that is not a problem anyway since I don't need a license plate for it.

But if I did I sure wouldn't put one that had something lame on it that didn't make sense. I don't plan on doing that.

Oh well, that is me. I know I'm different in that regard. Some might call it being silly, but that is okay. I would rather have that kind of silly than some of the others.

Really, it is a big deal. I mean on the silly scale you do need to be aware of what really counts. And silly that is stupid is not a good kind of silly.

That is my rule I guess. But I have learned to live with it. Maybe that makes me stupid or silly in a way that some don't like, but that's okay.

I can live with that. Because the way I figure it is not my problem. They are the ones who are being silly in a lame way.

Just a few thoughts to make you think of silly and not silly. Hope you enjoy the ideas, always love to make that a priority in my thinking.

Which is a good thing that ain't silly in away that makes you scratch your head. At least not for me.

TUB MADNESS

TUB MADNESS

Okay I got to admit I do like this. I know that might be shocking to some of you, but it is true.

There are times I can help myself. I get in that dang bathtub and just kind of go a little crazy.

I know I probably shouldn't admit that as being true since I am a grimefighting super hero and all, but it is just the same. There is just something about the suds and warm water that makes me a little goofy at times.

Now I should probably try to explain. You know for the benefit of those who happen to say they are worried that being a little crazy in the tub is going to be a bad thing.

And I want you to know that it has not made me crazy in any way in terms of going totally nuts. Oh it has made me a little wacky while in the tub, but that is not quite the same I don't think.

But you can be sure I don't let it keep me from doing my duties either. I feel I do a great job of keep thing focused on only being wacky in that regard while in the tub.

And I think it is a good thing. Oh yeah, it really is a good deal in terms of having fun in the tub.

Which as they say is just plain good clean fun. And there sure ain't any law against that. Nope I haven't heart so far that people get pissed if you have a squeaky clean smile.

Well okay maybe those dang griminals might complain. They are weird about such stuff. And I sure don't want to depend on their opinion either.

Which is a good thing since they are not a good source for talking about tubs anyway. I don't think they even use them.

Not as far as I can tell. I suppose if by some chance they actually did you know use a tub I can't imagine it would be full of water. At least not clean water.

I don't even want to think what they might consider putting in it instead either. I've heard stories, but I'm not going to repeat them.

In any case, for those of us not that demented by dirt we are okay to be crazy with good tub fun. And I like that part.

Makes me kind of smile I got to admit when I think of a tub where I can be a little wacky and nobody is going to think I'm strange. At least if they are they don't tell me and that is the best part.

Kind of nice to be normal in an strange way.

RINGY DINGY

Let me tell you there are times when the phone ringing can sure make me dingy. Honestly, it is amazing how you can be so happy just sleepy and thinking cool dreams and the stupid phone ringing can totally ruin your night.

Now we do have an answer machine and it does work, but it doesn't keep the phone from ringing. Just gives people a chance to leave a message so we can call them back later.

Which is fine if I could figure a way to keep the dang phone from still ringing. And that is something I haven't been able to do.

Course I can unplug the stupid phone. And I would if Otis didn't throw a fit. Honestly, let me tell you that this is not option.

I wish it was, but Otis just has this silly idea that if we let the phone be unplug some really important call will come in and we will somehow miss it. I think he is being weird myself.

I just can't imagine anybody calling us in the middle of the night just to offer us some good deal. And even if they did I figure it could wait till morning.

Personally, I think he's just being a bit silly. I mean I understand with him that is a big deal because he's got some weird Spam connection with a place in a different time zone.

Still that doesn't mean he should get sappy about this deal in my book. But you don't tell a guy with an addiction for Spam he can't have them call with shipping info from their 24 hour help line.

Anyway, I don't bother any longer trying to convince him it might be a good idea to just get his Spam fix at the store. So that sort of messes up the option of not using the unplugging phone option.

I do have to admit that I have try to occasionally get creative on the phone thing. Like you know turning down the ringer a bit. But Otis always seems to get some reason to check that part.

As for me, well I'm not giving up on this whole thing of figuring a way to turn the phone off. Next month I'm thinking of seeing if I can make sure the payment for the phone bill gets lost.

I'm not going to say it is going to work. But I am still hoping it will buy me some time. I just wish Otis wasn't so dang smart.

He can be real sneaky about figuring out how you can do stuff like that. And so I do have to get kind of creative and that can be hard with him always freaking out in that regard. But I keep trying.

FULL OF IT

When I think of this it is a good thing. Being full of pop or jelly beans or whatever is a good thing.

But there are plenty of other things you can be full of that are not always good. Which happens a lot more than I would have expected.

At least if you were to listen to my buddy Otis. Man when he talks of people like politicians he says they are full of baloney.

Not baloney is okay. I eat it sometimes. And it isn't bad in sandwiches. Only I wouldn't put it in them all the time.

Oh maybe once and a while, but shoot I can't imagine those politician gobbling down a ton of it. That is really amazing to me.

I just can't imagine loving baloney that much. I've heard of people going on weird diets, but that is kind of strange to me.

Oh well, to each their own I guess. And I suppose being full of baloney is better than being full of bull or crap.

Otis says there are some politicians full of that too. I reckon that is probably a case of you know them perhaps being way to constipated.

That is really tough and I can appreciate that would not make a person all that thrilled with life. So perhaps these politicians got reasons for being strange.

Can't imagine you know eating a bull unless it was in a burger. But Otis said bull and not beef. How you swallow the other parts of bull. I don't think I want to ask.

Gee, I hope that works for the politicians in a good way. Otis never makes it sound like a good thing. Like they are weird or something.

I guess that is a normal deal for some. But me, I'll stick with my usual. That is so much safer I reckon.

I don't want to try and bite into some bull's tail and pretend it tastes good. Maybe if they put a few jelly beans on it that might help.

But even then, I'm not sure. Hope I don't have to find out either. And that will be the part I have to work on.

That is in terms of not being full of weird stuff. That ain't a good thing as I see it and being full of stuff you don't enjoy is never mind idea of how to be full. Hope it works for others. Because I don't want to swallow what they swallow in some cases.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Do you only get big deals with big playing cards?"

TRICKY

TRICKY

Oh yeah, this can be so great when you are the one who is playing the tricks. When you are the one that is being tricked it isn't necessarily cool.

I of course enjoy when I get to be tricky. And it sort of is the same for me as being sneaky. Only for me being tricky is sort of a smarter thing I guess.

Well that is how I like to think about it. Not saying anyone else does though. Just don't work that way.

Wish it did. I sure would love to be able to enjoy the times I was really tricky in a good way, but didn't let somebody else be tricky back. Just don't seem to ever work out that way.

I keep hoping though. I sure would be thinking it is a fun thing if you can turn this whole deal into something that gives a smile.

Now I will admit this would be so much cooler if I always had a reason to smile, but with tricky it can be, well tricky.

That is because you got to blend some sneaky in so the other person don't know you are really being tricky. Man does that get complicated at times.

Which is not the most fun thing in the world if it gets messed up. I'm telling you that just down right sucks.

And I sure like to avoid that part. So basically I'm all jazzed with this thing. In a good way.

Providing that I get to have a chance to enjoy life and in the process feel good about this thing. Which doesn't happen when I end up with nothing working out the way I like.

This is when I end up working so hard to figure a good way to you know get myself some jelly beans without making it look like I want more jelly beans. Yeah, that is really such a pain.

But that is okay, just when it works out I'm happy. And you know when it doesn't I just do what I can to keep smiling.

Because the nice thing with being tricky is there is always another time. Which is cool to keep thinking about.

Only once and a while it is even better when you actually find out the whole thing worked out for you with a happy tummy. That is my way of gauging when it was cool. And let me tell you that isn't something that happens by accident. Which is pretty nice in some ways though.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT

Well we know that tonight will definitely be a night. As opposed to a day naturally. Which is good because if it was day it might get confusing.

I like when night is a night you got reason to be happy. Such as having something to look forward to.

You know like when they have a great movie on television. Now that makes the night extra cool.

There was this guy at work talking about tonight being the night, but not sure he was talking about television. Didn't seem like it.

Oh he did mention some chick he was going to meet. Why he was all jazzed about spending time with some chicken is hard for me to figure, but it made him happy.

Not sure what a chicken would for fun. Never spent much time with them. And not sure I have any plans of it in the future either.

Nope, not me. I will instead be planning on enjoying lots of other stuff, only you can keep the chickens for somebody else.

People can be weird in that sense I guess. It is funny what they think is cool. Me, I can't say I have much of an opinion on the whole chicken thing being fun.

Never had much of a reason too. Oh I guess they are okay. My main experience though has been with them after the fast food place gets done with them.

I will admit that if tonight's the night deals with them being fried then it works for me. Oh yeah, I can really get excited about munching on a few chickens.

But having them over as pals, well no thanks. All those feathers and what not is other than my idea of a good time.

Which is all good and fine for those who are hung with being buddies with chickens. I guess they would watch television and all.

I just can't imagine them doing much else that is fun. At least in my opinion. But then I'm not exactly all thrilled about thinking of this in terms of a good choice.

Now that is how I intend to deal with chickens. As for everyone else, enjoy being a bud to chicken if you want.

Just don't ask me to come over and join you. And let me tell you I sure am not going to do that if it means they may leave a big pile of crap either. I hear chickens are good at that part.

WHO SAID THAT?

That really bugs me when you hear somebody talk about what somebody else said and they can't tell you who said it. I mean they tell you something really crazy that gets you all excited and then can't even who said it.

Sort of like it was told to one person who then told to another and then another and before long nobody is sure who said what. But just that somebody said it.

Now if you are talking like some ordinary thing that everyone says then no big deal, but sometimes they go kind of wacky with something really strange. Then you get worried where they came up with it at. Like wondering if the person who actually said it knew what they were talking about or just nuts?

That can be a big deal from my point of view. Because it makes a lot of difference to me in terms of if the person might be right on some crazy thing.

Honesty what if the sky really is falling? Okay I admit that it looks pretty sturdy up there. Haven't really felt much reason to get very excited that will actually happen.

However I sure wouldn't want to be surprised either. I mean if I'm sitting there and some cloud suddenly sits down on the couch next to me I might want to know about it ahead of time.

The good news is that I'm sure looking forward to finding out who takes all those dang socks out of my drawer. I think it must be some kind of conspiracy.

I bet there is a place where they sell them. Yeah, I wonder if there is some black market for single socks?

Well I sure want to find out in advance if I can. After all that is the kind of thing you just don't want to not know.

But that's okay, I really do savor the nice joy of getting to the root of that info. Makes me wonder if somebody is doing it and in this case don't plan on bragging about it.

So I guess we have to worry about the stuff that they say and the stuff they don't say. Man this can be so confusing.

However, I do plan on continuing to watch out for who this person is saying all this stuff. I bet it is just one dude with lots of free time.

And if I find him man you can bet I'm going to make it admit he made all this stuff up. Yeah, then we can stop worrying.

Until the next person go nuts and I bet there are plenty of them that will do that. Probably have a club.

TONIGHT

TONIGHT THE NIGHT

Well we know that tonight will definitely be a night. As opposed to a day naturally. Which is good because if it was day it might get confusing.

I like when night is a night you got reason to be happy. Such as having something to look forward to.

You know like when they have a great movie on television. Now that makes the night extra cool.

There was this guy at work talking about tonight being the night, but not sure he was talking about television. Didn't seem like it.

Oh he did mention some chick he was going to meet. Why he was all jazzed about spending time with some chicken is hard for me to figure, but it made him happy.

Not sure what a chicken would for fun. Never spent much time with them. And not sure I have any plans of it in the future either.

Nope, not me. I will instead be planning on enjoying lots of other stuff, only you can keep the chickens for somebody else.

People can be weird in that sense I guess. It is funny what they think is cool. Me, I can't say I have much of an opinion on the whole chicken thing being fun.

I just can't imagine them doing much else that is fun. At least in my opinion. But then I'm not exactly all thrilled about thinking of this in terms of a good choice.

Now that is how I intend to deal with chickens. As for everyone else, enjoy being a bud to chicken if you want.

Just don't ask me to come over and join you. And let me tell you I sure am not going to do that if it means they may leave a big pile of crap either. I hear chickens are good at that part.

WHEN SEEING AT SEEING

I tell you this can be really scary. When you think something is there and it ain't? God that is terrible.

Let me tell you too people are really goofy that way. I mean you can be all honest about what you saw and if it is weird at all they go nuts.

But they make it sound like you are the one who is wacky. Now I ask you is that insane or what?

Course people are strange anyway. That much I always understand. You just can't help it at times. Life can make you that way.

Unless you got some way to cope. Like a nice way to deal with stuff when things go wrong.

I sure like that idea. Honestly it really is an important thing in my book. And let me tell you that truly makes a difference.

But the problem is making sure that you are really, really clear on what you have seen. I mean that really is important.

Course we all have those strange feelings when somebody says they saw something that wasn't there. However it can just as bad when they say they can't see stuff that is there. And I mean when they aren't like blind or something.

You know if you are say standing there holding onto something and they claim it isn't there. You sure got to worry when that happens.

Because they can make you think you are the one with the problem. And I'll tell you that is not a good thing.

What is worse is that you end up risking somebody else thinking you have the problem too. Which ain't cool.

And I'm sure that will not make my day. As for the rest of the world, well if you enjoy seeing stuff that is not there or not seeing stuff that is there, cool.

I think I will pass on it for myself. At least that is my plan, which works for me. And right now with seeing junk that is what works best for me.

As for anyone else, enjoy whatever you like. Just don't hand me a piece of candy that ain't there and expect me to smile.

I can fake it, but not to great with stuff that isn't there and my tummy is expecting the real thing.

SEEING IS PEEING

Oh man this is a big deal to me. When got to pee and can't find a restroom anywhere. Talk about having a crisis.

Oh yeah you sure can't call that a good thing. At least I don't. Well not in terms of something I look forward too.

I mean it really get totally freaked out when I say have a whole bunch of something good to drink. Then later you kidneys start screaming, me, me, me.

And so you go out there and look for some place that you can do your business. Let me tell you that sure is a priority.

The big problem is that everyone has to go to the bathroom eventually. I mean unless you are like dead or something.

Otherwise you do have that need. So what is the big problem? I mean come on folks this is not a secret right?

So you will figure that business would understand. Let's face it this is not like a one time problem. We all have to go eventually.

How come then you got so many businesses that don't figure you should do it in their store? Like you are okay to shop there and given them your money, but forget the idea of them giving you a place to pee.

What is up with that? Honestly I do have to ask is this a good deal? I don't think so. I figure it sucks.

And let me tell you I sure have mentioned it to plenty of people. Do they listen? Heck no!

Yeah, it is like these jerks never have to go to the bathroom. Is that a decent way for these guys to act?

Honestly, I am trying to be understanding and all, but this is not a good thing. Those kind of people really have a problem.

Which is fine if they keep it to themselves, but the never do. They end up acting like I'm the one with the problem.

And they are right. I need to pee. And that is just too dang bad if they can figure that part out.

Because the one thing I'm not going to try and argue with my kidneys. They can if they want, but not me.

SEEN IT, BUT NOT DONE IT

I hear those dudes who talk about been there done that. And that's cool I guess. I mean for them it is I reckon.

But does that mean it is a good thing? Well, I guess that would depend on if you are enjoying the stuff you've done and seen.

Now if you are that's cool. I mean it is always a good thing if you see something and then do it and all if fun.

But what if it ain't? I ask you if that all sucks, then what is the good part about it? I can't think of much to brag about if you saw something was dumb and stupid and still did it anyway. Sounds like a personal problem if you ask me.

That what Otis always calls it when you do stupid things and should have known better. Well at least when it applies to somebody else.

He doesn't say that about himself if and when it happens. Nope. Then is isn't a personal as far as he claims.

He'll come up with some kind of weird explanation on how in his case it is different. But I ain't that convinced.

Nope I have learned that part is different only in Otis' view. Not as far as I can see for myself.

But then what can I say he thinks it is better to talk about it that way. So I just go whatever. That is my answer when I really have no idea what to say.

That happens a lot to me when talking to Otis too. But at least it ain't that wahy with everyone.

The rest I just get stuck hearing about all that been there, done that stuff. Which don't impress me much.

Because they never talk about it being a good thing. It is like, oh man I wish I hadn't done that.

But I kind of figure it might be nice if they you know just once seemed to enjoy the whole thing. Only I haven't seen that so far.

And I guess it is good they figured it out at some point. Now it is too bad they didn't do that before they messed up though.

That would have at least made some sense I reckon of if they you know figured it out so it was a good thing and it made them happy. Haven't seen that, but always hoping.

SIGNS OF THE WEATHER

This is all the fault those dang weathermen on television. They are always talking about weird stuff like this.

And it bugs me to no end. I've looked lots of times and so far I haven't seen any stupid signs that say junk like rain.

Nope it just don't happen. I've tried to find them, but so far I haven't seen them anywhere. And that is okay.

Only I wish they would stop talking about them. Because it is a waste of time if there is nothing there.

Plus I really wonder about this degree think. Oh they make it sound important, but let me tell you they are weird if they are making these signs the weather deal.

Just wish they would make up their minds on the weather too. They keep talking a forecast.

So far I ain't been in favor of any of their so called forecast. So maybe they are for them, but shouldn't we have say about it?

You do got to wonder. After all this is not a cool thing. Not to me. I just would like them to tell me what the heck the think they are pulling with this silly telling us what the weather is going to be like.

Can't we get a vote on this for a change. See if it were up to me I would have them take and mix things up a bit.

Like give us some cold weather in the middle of summer. Why can't we get that to work with?

Honestly it just ain't fair. I don't know, it just sucks from my point of view. And I sure would like to change this.

Not sure how though. I haven't found the place where anybody gives me a break on this thing.

So far they never say a darn word that helps at all. Just more like they don't want to ask our opinion.

I tried calling the radio station once and explaining all of this, but they never let me know about it. Guess that was too complicated for them to appreciate. Yeah, that does happen. Kind of shame though.

Personally I think a few snowballs in summer would be cool.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: "You are my sunshine, but stop raining on my parade!"

TRAIN TRACKS

TRAIN TRACKS

Okay, I guess I'm really hung up on this track deal lately. Honestly, I'm not sure why, but just be stuck in my mind.

Not saying that is good or bad, just where my mind is at the moment. At least that is better than when it is in some gutter. I hate when that happens.

You know I'll be out on litter patrol and end up falling down. Then I land face first in the gutter.

Which is not a good thing. And let me tell you if there is one person I will not want to tell about it that would be the Reverend Analbe.

I made the mistake of mentioning how my mind was in the gutter during the day and I thought he was going to freak. Oh man that was so terrible.

You would have thought I done something terrible. Like really, really, really bad big time. Only it wasn't that big a deal to me.

I mean I didn't stay there. I did get up. So you would have figured that would count for something.

But not with the Reverend Analbe. I mean I explained how it happen at times. What was really bad when I was on this wagon once. You know it was like for this parade or something.

Well I accidentally fell off and ended up in the gutter. Oh I told the Reverend about it and let me tell you he really went insane over that one.

So I try not to tell him that these days. Just isn't worth the headaches any longer. But that's okay, he's got a lot of strange rules like that.

Boy like time I had this DVD and drop it and it got dirty. So I told him how I had tried to watch a dirty movie.

I sure won't do that ever again. He really went nuts after that. He did ask which one for some reason.

Guess he wanted to be sure he didn't rent it and risk watching my fingerprints on it. Oh well all of this stuff sort of is part of the train track thing.

How? Well I guess because I ride that thought in one direction. That is how Otis says it when he starts talking about one thing and then changes to something different.

He can be weird like that. Which is okay by me was long as he makes sense once and a while.

RACE TRACKS

RACK TRACKS

Now I don't know about you, but I know I am not about to start racing around any kind of track. Sounds really insane if you ask me.

I honestly can imagine doing this. Just sounds totally insane. I mean I ask you how can one get excited about such things?

Well for me anything that involves running is not a good thing. It just sounds totally weird.

Don't life have enough strange things going on that you come up with this kind of stuff? I ask you ain't walking enough of a problem? Do we need some maniac deciding we have to spend time doing this kind of thing too?

Well I'm not going to do it. I don't care what kind of track they want me to race, I ain't doing it.

Beside how fast can a track actually race? I do have to ask. Sure sounds phony to me and let me tell you there is no way I'm going to mess with that.

I think it would be stupid. There you are running your ass off while some track is just sitting there? And nobody is going to laugh?

You can be sure I'm not falling for that one. Oh maybe it gives somebody a smile to sucker some other clown into trying this, but not me.

I'm just going to let somebody else be the one who messes with it. I prefer to walking and just leaving those dang tracks where they are.

I ask you is this as stupid to you as it seems to me? I sure don't see that as a good deal. And really would it be cool to brag that you outraced something that doesn't even move?

Personally, I doubt it. Oh I reckon I know plenty who would think so. They would be so happy to brag about anything.

But not me. I just don't feel that way about it. Nope, it doesn't work for me in terms of trying to impress.

Wish it did. Might be a cool way to feeling your were fast. But with a track? I just don't think so?

In any case, I will let the others worry about it. I just will move on and enjoy walking. As for those tracks, I got no idea what would make them happy.

Not sure I have any reason to find out either. That is for somebody else to decide, not me because I'm happy with out racing.

ON THE FAST TRACK

Oh man I guess someday thinks this is a good thing. Not sure I see it that way though. I mean the idea of a track is not one of my favorite things. Because tracks always mean work.

Well they do for me. I guess it is because the only tracks I ever deal with are the ones we go over that are used by trains.

I don't have anything to complain about them except that are a pain to drive over at times. And fast is not the word that comes to mind when I think of them.

Slow is the best choice, unless you like being bumped to death by going to fast. Then Otis always makes sure we watch out for trains.

Why, I'm not really sure. I mean if a train is coming you generally get some kind of warning. Like that giant stick lowering and smashing your van. Yeah, that can suck.

So it means spending all this extra time doing all that stuff you don't have to worry about when driving somewhere else. Otis makes me really stress out over it too.

I mean you got to look both ways and at the same time worry that it might end in some disaster if you miss something. And let me tell you if some stupid train eats our van Dr. Hemoglobin will not be a happy camper.

Well that is how Otis talks about it. Personally, I've never known our boss to even go camping, but I guess that is a good thing.

As for me, well I would rather not even bother. I would just as soon avoid the tracks all together.

Let me tell you if there is one thing I don't want it is to have the extra pressure to work at nights either. Oh true the it is kind of cool to be out there when there is no traffic, but I'm not that keen on the idea of having to worry that some big train, which happens to be black sneaking up on us in the dark.

Try explaining that when you have train tracks smashed into your bumper. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about it every day.

Yeah, that would really suck. But at least I guess if it was night it would be every night. Which don't happen either thank goodness.

In any case, I do manage to survive and that is the best part. Because those dark tracks are not that much fun to mess with when you have to worry about all that other junk happening too.

Which is what I keep telling Otis, but he still makes us go over the tracks.

MORE SUFFERING

Well some might have figured I was done on this subject, but I'm not. I just have to spend one more posting on this subject.

That is because suffering really is a big deal. I wish it wasn't, but man there just ain't no way to totally make suffering disappear.

I would like to see them come up with a law. Now that would be cool. Some nice little legal deal that says, "no pain, but you still get to gain."

I don't know who came up with that stupid no pain, not gain rule. Where is this written that makes sense?

No where I can think of. Sounds like a real lame one to me too. I sure don't want to dwell on the pain part.

I sure would like the gain part. Now that is so cool. How you get nothing, but gain without the pain is the part that really counts.

And boy you can be sure I want to work on that. Somebody else can have the pain part and suffering to get the gain.

Only just don't ask me to join you. I ain't in the mood. It just isn't my idea of a good time. And you can be sure I'm not going to vote for it either.

In any case they can have all that suffering fun they want. Me, I'm going to concentrate on just having.

Besides it seems if all those people are going to get all excited on the pain part then I won't mess with it. Might get too crowded.

And that would be a form of suffering too. Now see are you glad I explained all of that? I think it was necessary.

Not sure everyone will agree. But go ahead and knock yourself out. I think it is not a big deal from my point of view.

And that will be another of those fun things I think I will concentrate on. Yep, you keep that suffering and I'll go for the gold.

Really seems so simple. A fun option that I know gives me a reason to smile. And as long as I get a smile then I'm happy.

Which I think puts me ahead of all those other folks. But then to each their own. You keep the ouch, I'll take the oh boy. Maybe along the way we will both be happy in our way.

SUFFERING

Oh man is this something that sucks. Well it does to me. Personally, I'm not a big fan of pain. And as far as I'm concerned this is no suffering without pain.

That is sort of what makes it suffering if you ask me. I don't know, I think I would rather not bother with that choice at all.

I guess that might work for some. After all if you are suffering then you got a reason to complain and people might listen.

But if you just want to complain and you are doing okay, then you might bore people talking about stuff you don't like. So if you love to complain then suffering makes it all the more okay to do.

However, I think I would rather pass myself. I think I would just as soon have a chance to have fun and talk about all the cool stuff that happens.

Not that people seem to notice that much. Honestly some of the people I know really do get all bugged by even when you are telling them good stuff.

That's kind of weird if you ask me. I just can't figure that part out. I don't know I guess there are some people who just aren't able to know when something is cool and when it sucks.

Have to feel sorry for such folks. Don't imagine they will ever really enjoy life I imagine. And that is suffering in its own way I suppose.

As for me, well shoot, I would rather talk about suffering from say eating five banana splits. Oh yeah that is a big fun kind of suffering.

And I guess I can live with talking about it even when it don't happen to be true. Part of life I reckon that some will enjoy and others never really will.

But that's okay, you can't please everyone can you? I know there are some who won't be pleased unless you gave them a reason to gripe.

Then they don't even say thank you when you give them something to gripe about. It just never works for them.

Honestly, I figure such people are more a pain in the butt than a blessing. But then they wouldn't be otherwise if they didn't like suffering so much.

But that's fine with me. I'll be glad to listen. Providing they are willing to me talk to. And some people claim doing that is suffering too. Gosh you just talk about one theory where you know that gold fish were once whales in another dimension and they get all crazy on you.

Seems like somebody always is wanting me to take some kind of test. Which I never get excited about.

Because they never exactly give me anything cool as reward just for taking the stupid test. Seems like if they are going to waste my time expecting to do that test thing they ought to make it worth my while.

And that doesn't even have anything to do with actually passing these dang tests. That ought to reap you even bigger rewards.

But that never seems to be the way it works. And when they don't make it the least bit exciting I really hate it.

I guess the main place I get stuck with tests is over at STINK. Something gets Dr. Hemoglobin inspired to decide to give us some fun test. Only his idea of fun sure doesn't match mine.

I figure you know if I'm already doing something that ought to say enough. But i guess it doesn't impress my boss.

He isn't satisfied with me doing junk. He actually expect us to prove we can do junk. That is where the test part comes in.

I don't know. For some reason he got the idea that doing junk is never prove you are doing it right. So he will give us these tests in order to prove it.

Which I wouldn't mind except that he keeps thinking you know that our doing junk ought to match how he sees it as being done. And then he comes up with this group of test with all kinds of weird questions.

Like when it comes to operating the garbage truck. I mean you know what buttons to push and that ought to be enough.

It ain't for him. He wants us to know when we should push them too. Now I ask you is that fair?

Well he think it is. Me, I'm not convinced. I didn't say he was going to listen to my complaints on that either.

Because if we object he takes it to mean we really don't know. Then he will decide to take time to give us even more tests.

And who needs that. Let me tell you that really sucks. So I end up just keeping my mouth shut and that way I don't get pissed when he asks me to explain that you press the blue button to move radio station from one channel to another. I just figure pushing it works good for me.

APPLES AND ORANGES

Not being much of a fruit man I'm not sure I totally get this one. People talk about comparing the two like that is a really great deal.

But why? Is the world going to change if you compare them? Will doing so heal some disease?

And when you are done, then what? Got to ask. I mean I know that for me that I have lived for a long time and never did this once.

When you are all done with this game is there a winner? I just have to ask. And is the prize? A bunch of fruit no doubt.

Yeah, that makes me want to play. Honestly were is the upside in all of this? Just seems like it doesn't count.

In any case I don't know, there is just a case of something somebody decides is a good thing. And fine with me.

As long as I don't have to do it. You can forget expecting me to do that. Oh I'll be glad to watch if that helps.

Just don't expect me to celebrate with the winner. People who play a game just to win some fruit, well it don't work for me.

I would rather just hear about it if you insist on telling me about it. But if you can avoid it then that is cool to.

I mean in terms of telling me about it. Oh I'm sure I'll smell the fruit. Like I can miss it. And maybe you'll have a big smile on your face.

Good for you. Just spare me why you are smiling. As for me, well I think I'll just stick with comparing things that make sense.

That seems far. And I will be happy to savor the time of your victory. From a distance you understand.

Never wait to get excited over that part. Otherwise next time you have a game I would end up being asked to join in.

And frankly I would rather pass. No offense, but I just don't think this will work for me. Have at all that fun if you want.

I'll just listen and be grateful if you don't suck my brain dry in the process. That will never work from my point of view. And right now that is the one that counts in my book. Just the way it has to be.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Artifacts in museums? What if somebody beside Art has the facts, then what?"

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

What kind of crazy option is this really? Do we get to choose on this thing? I do have to ask because I would always prefer the good news.

Unless the bad news is about somebody else. Then I don't think I mind that much. It isn't so terrible to hear a disaster isn't going to barbecue your own behind.

Might not be good news though. And I'm not necessarily thrilled about making some other dude get wiped out, but that is life.

In the meantime I guess, this bad news side gets me kind of bugged. I mean when somebody says I got good news and bad news, it is like can the good really be all that good if there is a bad?

But that is okay, I reckon the good will seem good if you compare it to the bad. As long as like the bad is really, really bad and the good sort of so-so good.

Plus you have to hope that the dude with the good news and the bad news stuff ain't like insane. Otherwise he might tell you some really crazy junk that he thinks is good and it really sucks.

In any case, I guess that it really ain't news if it doesn't turn out to be either good or bad. At least it doesn't seem to me that as I recall it is news unless it makes you either happy or sad.

Might be nice if there was a kind of news that was without that choice. But then who would care I reckon?

In any case, I guess there is something to be said for knowing the news regardless. I sure wouldn't want to say find out by surprise if say something like the world was coming to an end.

That is not the kind of surprise you want sneaking up on you. There are better ways I reckon to cope with such things.

But not knowing about them wouldn't probably be a good choice. Not to me. So I suppose we will just have to take our luck with this whole deal.

Yeah that might not be exciting at times, but it does beat no news at times. Hopefully, though we don't find out the wrong way.

It really sucks when that happens. And none of us needs that do we? Not me that is for sure.

I just mosey along in the hopes that life will bring us a few smiles, which makes the whole thing work.

PEAKS AND VALLEYS

Now this is different that highs and lows ain't it? Oh valleys are normally low and peaks high, but they don't have to be quite like mountains and your usual valleys.

I was in this place where this dude was talking about hitting his peak. And the way he was talking it didn't sound like some mountain either.

Plus why would you hit a mountain? It ain't like it would help anything. A peak is hardly got a brain so you couldn't piss it off by hitting it. And besides it is made of dirt and rock, that would hurt.

Well it would for me. But this guy sure did feel so dang proud to have hit that peak. And he said it was his peak. So I guess he own it.

What you would want to own a peak for is hard to say. And I kind of wonder if he owned the rest of the mountain too?

He never did say for sure. I reckon that is something I won't find out since I didn't know this guy. Just over heard him talking at the store to some friend of his.

But you know how it is when people brag about stuff. It means you do it because it is impressive somehow.

So that means this peak thing must be a big deal for more than a few people. Only I never have found out what kind of folks have all these peaks to own.

Never seen it on some for sale ads either. So I got no idea where they managed to find a place that even sells peaks.

Guess they don't want to share that information either. Because so far no matter where I check I haven't found a place that does that.

I wish I could though. I think I would like to take a shot at owning one of those peaks if I could.

Not sure what I would do with it though. Might be fun to find out. Although, still want time to think about it a little more.

As for the valley, well haven't heard anybody talk about wanting to hit them. So apparently that ain't considered as cool.

And there is no way I want to spend time slapping around some valley if it don't get any decent results. No sense having to mess with things that aren't cool if it never does any good.

I'll take it as the best option for now.

HIGHS AND LOWS

Now this is pretty simple to understand. You got stuff that is high and other stuff that is low. And sometimes that is a good thing, others it is not.

I personally don't know if I enjoy the idea of having to many times when the low stuff is the things you have to deal with if they aren't cool. Now a good kind of low is when you are low are bad guys to have to battle.

Yeah, I like those types of lows. And let me tell you I sure wish those happened all the time. But then I know if I did have them to often it might take away from the times when I would have to do much as a grimefighter.

So I do have to try and appreciate that problem. On the other hand the highs that come from having you know a chance to really ruin the day of some griminal. Now that sure makes me feel good.

But again if that happened every day and all the time, it might get boring. I have to admit that would be cool to try some times. However, so far that hasn't happened for me.

In any case, I do admit there are other forms of high and lows. I mean other than with the weather. It really to me don't count because you can't do anything about it.

So I consider those things to be like highs and lows you have to like take whether you like it or not. And that kind of sucks, but what the heck, I guess you can't have everything. That would be something other than realistic I guess. Don't think I will worry about it much.

In the meantime I savor the good highs and lows. Which is tough with foods too. I mean they say if something is high with foods it is bad for you like high in fat. They never mention like high in taste.

Then there is the lows with foods. As in low calorie. Whoever came up with those also chased away some of the taste from my view.

So that makes it low in calories and definitely not high on the yummy scale. Which is pretty important if you are talking about things that really matter.

That is what I regard it as being worthwhile. And you never know when that might count for something.

Generally that happens a lot at times. Because when you look at time, the highs and lows things are pretty much everywhere.

So you can't avoid them. Not sure everyone is trying to, but you know you can't. And that is worth something from my point of view. Just have to measure it with a smile and a nice hope it will be the kind of good which gives you a smile.

BITS AND PIECES

BITS AND PIECES

Again I'm back on this bits things. To me a bit and a piece aren't that much different. So I don't know that I see them as much different.

About the only big difference I can think of is how they mean different kinds of small things. Like you know, when something is broken it is known a pieces. At least too me.

Then there is the reality that with bits you are talking about a lot of stuff that might not be broken. It started out as a bit.

Kind of nice when you think of it. A bit started out life knowing it will never be more than a bit.

Yeah, I bet that is a good way of looking at life. You know that you can look forward to being what you were always meant to be

Kind of nice to be that aware of your purpose in life ain't it? You don't have to sit back and wonder. Just enjoy being a bit.

Now for those poor pieces it just ain't that way. They probably started out something good and then fell back to being a piece.

I wonder if they ever get depressed? I bet they would have a reason to be so. Yeah, you do got to imagine it might be tough being a piece.

Then too do they ever get so upset and frustrated they figure it would be good if they went on strike? Not sure what they would want when they did go on strike.

But I reckon there is a way to figure it out. Not sure that pieces talk much though. Wonder if they would have much to say?
Well I reckon you could ask. Not sure if they would answer though. That would be the part that you had to question.

At least I do. And then I do have so many important questions like that. And when I find out if it matters or can get the answers. Then that is the best part.

In any case, I think I will keep wondering and seeing if I can figure that part out. Seems only fair.

But then I always think everything is fair. Yeah, it ought to be. But so far I have found out that everyone agrees.

At least if they don't feel that we can move on and be happy with the choice that come our way if we are a piece or a bit. One way or another that is a good thing if we let it become that way.

TID BITS

Okay this is about things that are a tid and also bit. You know sort of leftovers that you have to kind of cope with even when you don't want to. That is tough at times.

Now tid bits that I have seen appear it the paper. And they are tids, er I guess small things, that are also bits. As in something you get to eat.

Only the stuff they mention are never that edible. At least as far as I can tell. Really I have to admit that when they list this in a paper, eating is not what seems to be the option.

Wish it was, but it never works out that way. Instead they will talk about stuff that seems more like little junk that you wouldn't bother to read otherwise.

Only because they put it in that section it really gets your attention. I keep thinking, oh boy I bet they are going to mention something tasty.

But when I get to reading, it never works out that way. It ends up some stupid story about a lady and her cat or some dude and his car or whatever.

Nothing I personally care that much about. I won't say it isn't good stuff. Just not the kind of good that I think will help me much.

That is a big deal to me. I mean it seems that it will not be a good thing. I just have to say it is not a way I want to do it.

But then they sure don't vote me for on that subject. Nope that never works. And let me tell you those stupid tid bit newspaper people could sure learn a lesson in that regard.

Only they don't seem to care. And you can bet that doesn't make me very happy. I'll have you know I did try to also to help them understand the problem.

Only it didn't do much good. Them dudes down at the paper just wouldn't listen to reason.

That's what Otis calls it when you try to get somebody to understand what they don't understand. Which is sort of my way of saying, "hey wake up stupid."

Only I didn't get the impression anybody was exactly chomping at the bit to listen. They might be all cool about tid bits. But sure aren't very much for bit, bit.

Nope that didn't happen. Just didn't manage to get anyone inspired to give it much thought.

Sure would have been nice though. Always so much nice when they cooperate. But that doesn't happen to be quite the way they did it though. And let me tell you even my bat didn't do much to improve things.

HOLY GUACAMOLE

Now this is really great stuff. All green and yummy. Why it is just one of the best thing you can imagine in some situations.

Not all of course. I mean understand, you can use this for all kinds of wonderful options. But just not everything.

Believe me I have tested it at times and I wish there were more options, but there are just things where this doesn't work. Too bad those darn avocadoes don't come with directions. Like a warning label.

That would be great. I mean it would be so cool to have it say on there, not to be used as soap. Would that be too much to ask?

Honestly, maybe I'm being unfair on that subject, but how come they can put it somewhere on those things? It isn't like they don't have room.

Why no buddy has bothered to accept that up till now, I have no idea, but it sure would improve things in my thinking. But I guess some people don't think in those terms.

And let me till you there sure are some strange people out there. They get some crazy ideas at times.

As for me, I don't it really get it. How come they can't fix this problem? Seems easy enough.

I figure all you have to do is you know be sure that things are stuffed into them avocado plants or whatever they grow on. How tough is that to do?

Just one simple requirement is all I ask. Is that too much to expect? Apparently to some it is.

And that sucks. I want those dang people to wise up. This is important stuff. And I wish I could get a few of the people in charge of important stuff to appreciate it.

Believe me I sure have tried too. Why just the other day I called up this one dude over at city hall to ask him to work on this.

Hey, he works for city so I figured he would have some ability to deal with this problem in a good way. And you would think he would even want to.

But did he offer to do a single thing? Nope. Boy did that suck. Hey, being a security guard is a big deal.

Only I guess he didn't feel like it was a big deal. And that was a pain, but next week I plan on talking to the janitor. Bet he'll be more helpful.

Walnut Dressing

I have to say when I heard about this, I was really stumped. Since when did they start making dresses out of nuts?

Now I know that for some to try wearing a dress might be a tad nuts, but I'm not talking about that kind. I'm talking about real nuts.

It is hard to imagine how they get those nuts to stay together. Gosh I hope they don't like glue them on. That would be awful.

Well not for me I guess. Since I don't ever plan on wearing one of those things. Gee I sure hope they don't like go crazy and start expecting people to say do this with other kinds of clothes.

And god forbid they should try it with a beanie. Oh man I don't want anyone looking at my beanie and wondering how it tastes with some salt or ketchup. Creeps me out to even imagine.

Nope, I think I would prefer to keep my regular clothes. Although I guess you know it could be fun when it came to doing the laundry.

Instead of washing them you could have them roasted for a snack. But that would also mean getting stuck buying lots of new clothes all the time. And who wants that headache.

Plus what if some sicko decided this worked for socks. I don't even want to think what that would mean.

Gosh I can imagine how much fun it would be to walk on socks made out of nuts. I can't even think how much that would hurt.

Just plain scary to consider. Boy they sure would never get me to accept a pair of those socks.

I'll pass on that option. And so far I'm glad that nobody has told me to expect this for clothes.

Now a bigger concern would be if they try to make this simply by say making nuts into something like peanut butter. That could really get messy if you ask me.

I sure don't want any underwear made out of peanut butter. Somebody else might like tha idea, but not me.

And if they take up that option, fine, just don't tell me about it. And if I see you stuffing a jar of peanut butter in your pants, I'll know you gave into the choice, but I won't ask the details.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: "Storms, can't live with them, can live without them. But who cares?"

GOOD LOOKING

I heard this said about people. What lame person came up with that idea? Honestly it sucks.

I mean come on let's be honest here. Good looking ought to be something that you like to look at. And looking at people is okay. Can be even fun if they are goofy enough in appearance, but otherwise, I don't know for me good looking should be something that gets me excited.

Which is like things such as some tasty foods. Oh yeah those really do make me drool. I can excited about that. Because it will make my tummy happy.

However, you know I guess some other stuff can be good looking too I suppose. I mean food isn't always good. Sorry, but if Truly Grimey fixed it you can forget it.

I'm not going to even try to eat it. Or think of it as good. Just me I suppose, but that is my view of it.

In any case, other junk that would be good would have to be something starts out being good. At least in my view.

That sure don't include garbage in my view. Believe me I have tried to see it as good. But no matter what I do, it sucks.

And that is the part I have to be honest about. Just not my idea of good or even worth looking at.

What also is good to me is when I'm talking about something like say seeing some griminal lying unconscious. You can be sure that looks good to me.

Well not everyone looks at it that way I suppose. And I understand that part. But I still got my standards of that you can be sure.

That is what Otis calls what he says is good looking. Course on his list the top thing would probably be Spam.

To each their groan I guess. Works for me I suppose. Not wishing to groan myself though. But after Otis has say four or five of these spam, onion and whatever sandwiches you can bet he is groaning.

That is okay by me. But I sure don't plan on joining him. Nope for groaning I will settle for just my jelly beans.

They might not be as fancy as some of Otis sandwiches, but then I don't have to worry about if I belch people end up giving me weird looks. That I leave for Otis.

Which I will leave him to deal with.

HITCHHIKERS

Well the one thing I like about this is how you know when you see a dude with his thumb out what he wants. You don't have to ask.

Which keeps things nice and simple. At least from my point of view. Can't say it necessarily ends with a good deal though in every case.

Mainly because some of those hitchhiker types are kind of picky. Why there are a few who even refuse a ride. Makes you wonder why they bother to hitchhike.

The other day for example, Otis and I were out on the road and this dude was standing there with his hand out. So we thought we would do the nice thing and offer him a ride.

Well the thing is we only have two seats in front so he would have to sit in back. But shoot man a ride is a ride from my point of view

And he just changed his mind all of sudden like we were trying to cause him problems. So we thought it was kind of rude on his part, but that was his problem I figure.

We didn't let it bother us though. We just kept on driving. Then we saw another person needing ride.

So we stopped to offer them one too. But you know what, they passed on the offer also. I'm telling you it really makes me wonder about such people.

The good news we finally figured out we think why they acted that way. It was the time when Otis was in one of his weird moods when it came to food. He had fixed this limburger cheese and spam sandwich. And it was kind of a hot day, plus we didn't have an AC in the vehicle.

That was sure a relief to find out it was the real problem. Next time Otis promises to not pack one of those lunches.

Besides, those buckets of dirty diapers in the back kind of have a smell that soaks into the lunch when it is hot. Not that we notice it much when we spend all day picking them up.

Oh well, guess we will try next time with the garbage truck. I'm sure people will be glad to ride in the back.

Maybe we'll pick a day when we don't have as much rotting garbage picked up. They might not be as cool about it.

Guess I will find out soon enough though. You just never can be sure with some people. But sometimes I reckon we will find out.

For better or worse I reckon.

EGOS

What gives with this? Is there like a good deal with this when you have a big ego? I haven't found that to be the case.

Seems more like a pain in the butt. I mean they make you think that confidence is a good deal, but if you have too much confidence they get pissed at you.

Will somebody tell me how this is a good option? Not to me. And if it all ends up with being a pain in the butt, then what good is it?

Honestly if it don't make life better in the long run is that something can enjoy? Now I do think that having confidence it good.

But when you get silly about it then that is really absurd. This sure does not work for me. And I think I will keep from bothering to give it a try.

Now what bugs me is that it seems like only the really stupid clowns give this a try. Like you have the person is a complete idiot always thinks he is some kind of genius.

I sure don't enjoy that option. Those kinds of morons do not make me happy. I enjoy having a chance to tell them what I think of them by using my bat.

Okay, not all the time. That would never do. But once and a while it sure is cool. Funny how you cut down on communication problems that way.

Which would be find if I could always make things easy by that one solution. However, Otis won't let me keep things that simple.

So I have to be content to accept the times I have to talk and debate with others. I hate the debate part.

There are too many times when that really sucks. Because the one thing that never seems to happen is that I end up with something other than having the jerk agree he was wrong.

Yeah, debates only end up with no winners. Not as far as I can tell. So I have pretty much have given up on that option.

But my buddy Otis is still in the mood to think debating is good when dealing with a dude thinking he is a genius. And he loves to keep yaking even if they never agree on something.

Oh well, I do my best to let Otis think he is cool. I have to let him have his illusion. As for me, well I just keep my bat ready just in case.

Fun being right. More so when you have a chance to give ego jerks a boost in away they will never forget.

FUN TIMES

Ah, ain't this grand? You get invited to some party filled with jerks, but you go anyway because they are serving lots of good foods.

Only you don't spend time with the nuts because they bore you. Instead you get to stay off by the food and smile a lot.

I really enjoy those times. I have lots of fun when the dull and stupid people don't ruin my fun. And that is so cool.

Now what is bad is when I get stuck dealing with having to do with Otis. Now he has this stupid idea we need to be friendly.

I mean just cause some guy is the host of the party, does it mean I got to hang with him if I don't like him? I think it is better if I don't bug him and just enjoy his food.

In this case, I'm talking about somebody like old rat boy, Junior. There is no way to warm up to some cheese hording snot like him.

Otis insists that if he gives us the food we have to be nice to him. I don't care if he gives me like a life time supply of jelly beans it is hard to like a snot like him.

I will eat his food since he invited me. And I figure the insults he gives me are enough payment.

But not to me. I'm sorry, but if he's going to act like a jerk, I'm not going to be impressed. I will tolerate munching on his food.

Providing it is other than cheese. Man those cheese parties of his are really sucky from my point of view. Cheese is okay, but not all the time.

So I prefer to just snack on his other choice. Only hoping that doesn't include you know some stupid food by Truly Grimy.

There ain't no way I will ever find that a reason to be friendly. At least her stuff smells so bad you don't have to worry very much.

Other than that, I do my best to just keep smiling. Mainly from the times I get to snack and not talk to old rat boy.

Fortunately after he's called you an idiot once or twice he gets bored. And I do too when I put laxative into his drink.

Yeah, it is childish, but so is life. So at least I do get to smile about it from time to time. Hopefully while snacking. And even better when it doesn't make me puke or see things that make me go crazy.
