Forgot the Potato Chips!

23 09 2007

Colin just got home, he went to the store to get the rest of the supplies needed for tonight’s television extravaganza. . . and he forgot the chips.

I wonder if we could send one of the moggies out to the depaneur like this chap . . . .

How about “Forget” the potato chips. That might be a healthier option.

Anonymous,

Certainly you are correct, but then I’d have no segway to post the gif of the bird going into the store and stealing a bag of crisps. . . .

🙂

Chips not needed, video of funny bird. . . .very much needed 🙂

I hate grammar police. I do not speak well in English that’s why I am really annoyed by them.

23 09 2007
Joey

hahah, me too Richmond – but to be fair, I’m big on grammar myself.

I hate ‘ebonics’ and ‘shizzle’ and ‘1337’ – mainly because I never know what anyone is saying.

As for ‘anonymous’ I think they were trying to say I shouldn’t partake in the potato chips at all. . . .which I agree with.

I’ve been saving that little bird gif for months, and finally had a chance to use it 🙂 🙂 🙂

it was all about the bird!

That video is hilarious.

I hate people who get picky about the use of language [actually ‘chips’ are French fries – you should call them ‘crisps’] and don’t get me started on ‘healthy options’ or rather the people who bang on about ‘healthy options’. Everything in moderation, including comments [like me for example – I always keep to the point with a ‘live and let live attitude]. OK, I’m going to eat a bowl of ice-cream now, with some lovely broccoli, carrot juice and an enormous piece of pecan pie with maple syrup all blended together to make a smoothy.
And what the heck’s ‘1337’?

24 09 2007
Joey

@Grace

thanks for Stopping by! I love that bird video. . . .in my little ‘achieve’ I have a cat eating corn too. I wonder what ‘Anonymous’ will have to say about that?!?!?

@ DaddyPapersurfer

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=1337+speak

I agree with the chips and crisps comment, and afterwards I just noticed I used ‘crisps’ in my first comment on this one. . . hahahahhaah

too funny eh?????/

enjoy your broccolli peacan carrot syrup smoothie.

There’s a terrifying flock of mutant seagulls that rule the street I live on (urban but by the coast, so the seagulls get a LOT of people food from the rubbish). They scare the crap out of me cause they’re bloody huge, drop crap-bombs on my car (which sound like stones hitting it) and circle above the street at night like they’re waiting to invade. If they could be trained to do things, the army would never have to recruit humans again.

Hi Joey,

Came across your site when I searched “top 100 blogs.”

Good work on driving traffic to your site! I’m trying to do the same, but I’m kind of lazy with the blog promotion stuff.

Hey Joey,

I think you know you’ve cracked the system when you go missing as a virtually anonymous blogger – and the world and his wife are fretting about you being missing. Brahnamin has ben having kittens about you (moggie joke at the juggler’s expense). There are people in the real world who actually aren’t missed when they go missing for days – which is very sad.

Personally, I hope you’re having a fantastic holiday, your cats are healthy and well – and you come back soon as I enjoy your posts.

12 10 2007

okay, i’m a big boy, but referring to me and sky as *the world and his wife* is a bit excessive jan

@ neil
if you are correct, i hope she pokes her finger with her needlepoint or burns her eyes out watching tv or otherwise self maims and mutilates with whatever hobbies she has set herself for the duration of the bet.

which could make for some interesting posts when she comes back if she’s passing her time in sex and debauchery

sex-related injuries always make for the best stories

on a side note, i wonder how she feels about her blog becoming a message board

i wonder if the bet is just for a month.

could be til christmas

or new years

or until wordpress puts a *preview* option on comments

Now if I was Joey, what would I blog about today? The bird is getting quite “used up” and the potatochips are long since gone. The moggies seem quite well fed though, and I wonder if that’s a coincidence.

Oh well, might as well sit back and relax, who knows those comment stalkers leave another comment and keep my blog alive.

Live is great, let alone easy!

Hi Skywindows.

Joey was on the list of people I voted for every day in October. The bottom of the top 100 list had people on it with only about 30 votes. I know for sure that there are a couple of people that got shirts because I dang well voted for them every day.

I’m sure Joey had other votes too… but I kept voting for her because I thought she’d come back. I wanted her to get a shirt because I thought she’d want one.

I have no idea where she is though.
