Mr.Sprinkles was here this weekend. I anticipated a weekend full of nonsense and monstrous silliness.
Although I did get monstrous silliness and nonsense, I got neither one in the quantity I desired. You see, Mr.Sprinkles arrived with a minor cold that grew into a major cold that left him cold and hot and shivery and in bed all weekend.
Happily we moved the bed into the living room so we could force him to watch cartoons with us. Unhappily, he was too sick to have a good time. It makes me sad. Still, he did manage to smile now and then, look at the tv, and say, “Bugs!” Referring to the bunny, you see. He also said, “Bugs!” when speaking of Daffy or Porky. But that’s all part of the charm.
thanks for the injuries
One thing Mr.Sprinkles would have laughed at had he been not-so-sick, is one of the headlines BrilliantEditor put up on his Living in Dryden site. (*note that this headline has since been changed. It now says, "Trash collector injured; hell yeah!")
The headline reads, "Trash collector injured; many thanks".
Now. I know that BE always uses the same format to string headlines together. I've suggested before that he choose a new format, since it sometimes makes odd headlines. Will this convince him that I am right?
I'm betting that it won't change his mind at all. Nevertheless, I must tell you, I'm right.
No one hated the trash collector that much that the perpetrator needs thanks.
