Blogging Notes 5

Posted on April 17th, 2008 by Jean

I once had a kisser who would scrape his tongue on my top teeth.
 
I use a tongue-scraper daily, so I know the gunk that comes off one’s tongue.
 

 
YUCK!
 
Did you ever experience a bad kisser?
 

 
I was listening to Blue Collar Radio. Ray Romano came on and talked about sex after twins. He and his wife now have sex every 3 months. Afterwards, he pays his quarterly taxes. If it’s oral, he renews his driver’s license.
 
In Arizona, our DLs are good for twenty five years!
 

 

 

 
Pearl: Mom, Dad says where’s the camel.
 
Me: Camel?
 
Pearl: No. Camel.
 
Me: Camel?
 
Pearl: Dad says it’s stinky in here.
 
Me: Oh!.

When I first signed up for MySpace, I would browse the blogs and subscribe to those that seemed interesting (kind of like now, but without word of mouth because I was so new).
 
I subscribed to a Make-Up Blog, and was promptly shunned.
 

 
That particular blogger wouldn’t reply to my questions or comments. Just jumped over my comment and proceeded to the next subscriber.
 
If I ever skip over your comment, it’s unintentional. You may publicly flog me… or just remind me of my brain fart.

Build•A•Bear
 
Yesterday I took Natalie and Pearl to Build•A•Bear in Henderson, Nevada (about 9 miles south of Vegas). My parents had sent them money to be used on this shopping spree.
 
When you walk into the store, you are greeted by a wall of stuffed and unstuffed animals.
 

 
Once you choose your animal, you can select sounds for it. The sounds are slipped down into the paws, and then the stuffing is added.
 

Natalie adds stuffing to her St. Patty’s Day bear.
 

Pearl adds stuffing to her white/pink bear.
 
Before the bears are stitched closed, there’s a cute little heart ceremony.
 

Rub the heart on your forehead for brains, on your cheeks for smiles, or your nose for the heck of it (I don’t remember), spin around twice and blow.
 
The new bears received an air bath.
 

 
Dresses & accessories were selected.
 

 
The bears were named, ID’d, and presented with birth certificates.

Chuck•E•Cheese
 
Building bears makes you work up an appetite! We found a Chuck•E•Cheese down the street. It was deserted, so the kids and I had the run of it!
 

Chuck
 
While waiting for our delicious *ahem* pepperoni pizza to bake, the kids played…

and Danced around the empty joint.
 

 
Bass Pro Shop
 
What the heck is the Bass Pro Shop doing in this story? Well, I had to exchange a pair of waders for Tom. The exchange took a while, so I snapped some pictures. Here’s a wall with mounted fish.
 

 
On the opposite wall were mounted wildlife.
 

 
And then I spotted him! The uncle from Napoleon Dynamite! Check it out!
 

 
I swear it was him. I was looking at him saying, Why do I know this guy?
 
Update: Unless this guy was wearing a toupee, it’s not Uncle Rico. I did some research, and this is the real actor, Jon Gries (notice the crome dome).
 

 
Silverton Aquarium
 
Attached to the Bass Pro Shop is the Silverton Casino. Inside the casino is an incredible aquarium!
 

Rays
 

 
There’s also the Mermaid Bar. Above the bar, is a jellyfish tank.
 

 
After staring at all the sea creatures, and making our way around the impressive tank, we headed back home.
