Some of you may remember the infamous Hot Dog Incident of Aught-Nine.

Today, while cleaning her bathroom, I opened the drawer that is supposed to contain hair care implements and found this:


A Land O’Lakes Mild Cheddar Snack Cheese

Only it had been there for awhile – I know this ’cause it was partially melted.

I am beginning to think my daughter is, in fact, a squirrel. Because that is the only other chittery, cute animal that is indigenous to this area that stores food for the winter in remote/hard to find places.

::eye roll::

Thank you Universe, that the frockin’ thing wasn’t open.

ETA:
Keep in mind that we don’t buy *those*. The snack cheese we buy is the Sargento’s* mozzarella cheese stix.


* – low in fat and actually tastes like cheese.

As previous post indicated, we went and saw G.I. Joe last night. It was pretty good — decidedly schmalzty with lots of red/white/blue and upswelling theme music.

But, I digress.

What I really wanted to remember was not the movie itself but the opening tidbit during Alamo’s screening of it. One of the guys involved with Alamo (Tim? Jim? Johnny Bon-Tonn? Fuck, cannot remember) was dressed as Cobra Commander(TM), complete withe blue face hangings. He staggered up to the front of the theater, bounced off the edge of one of the forward chairs, stumbled back a bit and then paused. Then he raised his microphone to his lips and said,

“Sorry guys. Cobra Commander’s been getting his drink on a lil…”

what you DON’T want to hear whilst at the movies

The Girlie is fine — one of her baby teeth came out. I didn’t even know the darn thing was *loose* It’s about time for her second half of the year cleaning anywho.
What with the vision and now dental, she’s going to be thoroughly maintained before the school year starts.
