Who killed her doves?

There’s no denying that this is a disaster caught on tape.

From beginning to end, this is something that should have never been recorded for posterity.

Some people theorize that she is from Douglas, Arizona, but I am unable to verify that at this time.

Little did she contemplate the impact her behavior would have on future viewers of her actions.

As you watch please realize that allowing animals within hearing distance could be cruel torture.

Paper covers rock, but tree shelters cockroach

We all have to face the inevitable. The classic game of wit and strategy, “Rock, Paper, Scissors” has been updated and remodeled. We all remember that scissors only cut paper. In the new version, scissors can also do actions such as stab monkey, cut women’s hair, reflect moon and swish through air. The instructions also include dynamite, nuke, lightning, gun, dragon, and wolf among others. I suppose it could take awhile to memorize it all, but the descriptions are pretty entertaining on their own.

Has it really been five days since my last post?

Have I been working hard, or hardly working?

Should I make my login password easier to remember?

Why do I pick out new skins for this blog and never switch?

Why do people move to Arizona and then start complaining about the heat?

How do I get irfanview to work on this laptop so I can add pictures to this blog?

How do I find the funniest video on YouTube?

And what about Naomi?

OJ Simpson security surveillance video on YouTube!

The description says, “OJ Simpson caught on video? Palace Station Hotel and Casino robbery. Watch and decide for yourself.”

I can’t think of anything further to add, so without further ado, here’s the tape:

With all due apologies to Freddie Mercury and Queen

Here’s my theme song for today:

I saw a little gila monster in my room
Scared me much, Scared me much
So I did a fandango

Okay, it really wasn’t a gila monster. I realized it was just some sort of gecko with growth issues as I leapt rather ungracefully to the other side of the room. I should be used to Arizona creatures that get into my home, but it happens so rarely that it still startles me. I’m just glad I was able to see him before one of the kitties thought they had a new toy. Geckos are very beneficial to the environment so I like to make sure that they make it back outside safe and unharmed.

Is it time for me to go El Deleto?

Right now, I have 77 drafts saved. I think I should just cut my losses and delete a few of them. I think a few of them should never see the light of day, but I saved them anyway, hoping to salvage them. However, I have to concede that I probably shouldn’t hang on to drafts like the one I did about the origins of Saint Patrick Day. Most of them are good ideas, but I didn’t have a snappy ending. Like my post where I review a new brand of salsa. Man, there were some funny lines in there, but how do you end a post about salsa?

How do I untrain my dog?

The BBD used to be a very quiet dog. Very nice, and sweet, but quiet, stubborn and not willing to learn many tricks. I know that part of training a dog is to catch them when they’re doing something you want them to do, and then you reward them for that behavior. The problem’s been with her is that she really doesn’t do a whole lot that could be considered a trick that you’d want to see again.

The only exception to this has been her imitation of a worm. It’s quite the sight to see a 100-lb dog writhing on the floor on command. Then she upped the ante by adding “roo-roo” sound effects, peppered in between the sounds of her paws thumping the nearest wall or piece of furniture.

The problem is, she is now doing this on her own timetable, which is pretty much throughout the day. I’m on the phone with my mechanic, she’s in the background writhing and howling. I’m having a somber conversation with a dear friend about her unsuccessful attempts at finding a job, and the BBD is providing backup noise.

How do I get her to stop? I don’t want her to stop totally, just long enough for me to complete a phone conversation every now and then. If she were smaller, I could scoop her up and distract her with a treat. But she’s so big that if I go down to pick her up, I’ll end up on the floor right next to her, then there will be two of us writhing around, one doing it for fun, and one doing it due to back spasms.
