I think that's crispy

Yes, crispy not crunchy

Also, you know what's embarassing? Having to have a lorakeet pulled out of your cleavage. In front of a bunch of strangers. On a busy Saturday at the Aquaruim of the Pacific. BUT this is not as bad as being pooped on by a lorakeet as you attempt to leave the cage. The worst part? Being mocked and laughed at by your brother, your husband and your children. Suffice it to say that I won't be returning to the lorakeet cages any time soon.

KAT! Next time you guys are paddling around MdR, you need to stop by! You can't miss the boat - we're on the end of the next to last dock - diagonally from the Chart House.

Edited for spelling dur!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whoa. That organic plum I just finished might have been the sweetest fruit I've ever eaten. Certainly beat the chocolate and the cupcake I've also had today.

My experimentation with organic fruit continues...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello, peeps. flea is back, and so am I. (I gave up and skipped like a demented marathoner, so I have no idea what you all have been talking about.)

The only place I know the "crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside" line from is the Far Side, when one polar bear says it to another, while they are slurping up the contents of an igloo. But I bet Gary Larson is riffing on something I just don't remember.

Work! Why do people have to do work? Why can't we all just play all day? I mean, and not get fired?

Thrive to spite them

Thanks Wolfram!

I'll pass that on to my friend.

DAWN! Next time I'll email you before we go. I don't know where the Chart House is... but it would be fun to paddle over to you.

Kat Neato!!! We're only one basin over from Mother's Beach so if you can avoid the crazy drunk boaters we're really close.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If I had to have a lorakeet pulled out of my cleavage, I'd be laughing too hard to notice anyone laughing at me, I'd think. I'll have to try it some time....

Oh.mi.god! You just reminded me.

So, as we were paddling, we passed a medium sized power boat, maybe 20 feet, maybe more. Nothing super fancy. But in the boat were about 8 guys, all without shirts, but with many tattoos. Looked like they were in their mid-20s. They weren't even out of the marina and already the beer had been cracked open.

Oh yeah, they WEREN'T going to be trouble or anything.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's like MadLibs, but true.
