Boooooo! Shiny Happy people suck. You know that just like I do (and I'm not anywhere NEAR New York. C'mon Janet, don't succumb! STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHT! Stay here in the dark with all of us mean and nasty people. Not only do we have better candy, but we kidnap those shiny happy people once in a while...y'know, if we get bored we can make them cry and feel better...
QS sprawls across a throne-like chair, brooding. "I've been entirely too happy lately."
The two henchmen, standing on either side of her and nod.
An accountant peers from behind the chair and adjust his glasses. He thumbs through a report and then clears his throat. "Polls show your popularity is down 3.89 percent because of your recent happiness. Predictions show you--"
"Enough!" She storms off the dais, motioning to the henchmen who fall into step behind her. One of them opens a dimly lit cell door, where a flock of authors wait. She looks around the room and snorts. "I hate flocking authors."
She points at three and nods to her henchmen. "Bring them."
The remaining ones fall to their knees and offer up feverish prayers of thanks.
"Don't be too sure you've escaped," she says with an evil laugh. "I've been really happy lately. If someone finds me a good taco truck here, it might take a dozen of you to wipe the grin off my face."
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Well, I could have, but I have no self-control, or willpower, or even common sense.
Thanks for the video, Janet. It was very sweet. I just forwarded to it a friend who sent her daughter (also named Alex) on a plane to Nicarauga this morning for a mission trip.
My mistress has absolutely prohibited me from liking to a video of me singing. She says I sound exactly like a goat. ... I always thought that was the point ...

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
Ah come on. We love it when you reveal your inner marshmallow.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize happy was a four letter word.

@Julie Weathers. That is hilarious. That made ME happy!
ReplyDeleteWill this spreading of joy never end?
Duh, that's what happens when you type fast as you are getting ready for work. Think of it as a Where's Waldo? Can you find the mistakes?
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back, JR.
Hehe, I'm glad you're back to Miss Reid.
ReplyDeleteAnd Julie, loved the inside scoop on the Shark.
lol

In the interests of fair and balanced goating, this video represents Bill E. Goat's great thinking ability:
