Hmmm, "Creaky Brain Cells". Nah, Lynda-it's creaky joints on my part! Didn't think I was in bad shape till I took this 2nd job-wow, being on my feet for an evening is a killer. War room? Hmmmmm, we'll all have to see about this. Not sure I want to be in a war room with Wolfy-she might have Scott bring in Pong and lock and load that boy's tuckus! Little ferret surprises firing everywhere there! Anyway: So, Georgia, another cup of coffee???? We all know you drink double strength espressos! Been slippin' 'em to your kids, too. No wonder Kouri falls out of his wagon-he's so wired he's singing and dancing and shooting at things that well, frankly my dear, I don't know how he does it. I can see him doing that "George of the Jungle" routine with the "Chock Full of Nuts" can, saying JAVAJAVAJAVAJAVAJAVA and just ripping around. And then you're trying to tell us that one of your other babies pulls a wagon of their own free will???? Awwww, c'mon, we know you have a bag full of raisins suspended over their head! First you make them crochet, then they have to perform, then you send Kouri out to trap things---wow! Talk about sweatshops and other things!!!!!! And then we all discover you've got Hawk and Gator out there trying to coerce a heron up to your home! Sheesh woman! Whatcha tryin' to do, set Kouri up making hats with feathers in them now? Plus you make them paint so you can have art shows and take the credit for their wonderful painting! EEEEEYYYYYYAAAAAAA! And I found out Kouri does woodworking now. So tell me, does he have a little tool belt, safety glasses? I can see him, wood working, putting down the hard wood floor, tool belt slipping, little butt crack, er, tail crack showing. No wonder you plan on sailing down all these rivers and such! Hey, can Kouri send me an eggplant recipe? And when is his stint on "Chef on a Shoestring" on the CBS Saturday morning show? Gotta see that one. And do you know how to cook those little craw daddy's????? I can see you and all the ferrets in a boat, snapping craw dads and eating them, Kouri sitting in the seat trying to shoot fish (Crocodile Dundee style here). Coast Guard will pull up beside you and want to know if there's anything illegal going on. The other ferrets will be coming up out of the water, little snorkeling outfits on, pearls or sponges in their hands, how ya gonna explain that one, huh????? And ya really need to be kinder to Lynn. I've just learned she and her fuzzies are relatives of ours!!!!! After all, catching those 'gators to feed the fuzzies, getting them all to mop that floor for her, that takes time. Have to bear with her as she inhales those fumes (yeah, Lynn-we know-they don't spray for skeeters in the winter, uh huh, sure-hey, relatives can rib each other). And Wolfy! With Scott the might hunter shooting Pong's tuckus off-no wonder the poor woman is walking in circles with a little red wagon! I mean, her giggle pin is on permanent go, her depends run low and then you tell her she's got to let you keep the freebies if you go to the Depends factory?!?!?!?!? Next thing we know Wolfy will be raiding the diaper section in the stores, glazed look in her eyes, repeating must have these, they're leak proof, must have these, they're leak proof. Little kids will be crying because the lady with the red wagon took all their diapers. Wolfy-want to become a Mc/Mac Farlane? I'm sure we can induct ye into the clan, lassy! We can raid the Depends Factory for you, then raid Georgia's house for all those freebies she's kept (of course we have to go when there's a full moon and all, since in Scotland a full moon is known as McFarlane's lantern-we're great cattle rustlers, you know, only now it'll be Depends Rustlers). So, at Lynda's suggestion, does anyone want to offer prizes and such for who can be the silliest in this one? Do we dare have another Depends contest or what? Somebody want to throw some suggestions out here? I'm having far too much fun. BUT-I do have something silly that just happened here, and it has nothing to do with Kouri and all. Sara decided to luxuriate herself in the tub. We keep a little blue tub in there with water so the fuzzies can enjoy themselves. Kid emptied the water and put it down, wasn't paying attention. I'm down here furiously working on my reply/ribbing and I hear tremendous scratching. Suddenly I hear Sara going mom, we have a problem, quick. I get to the bottom of the stairs and am looking at Conan, who has his head and front shoulders over the barricade. The look on his face was priceless, sort of oh, s***, I've been had, and of course there was Calvin and Mookie urging him on till they saw me!
