Dear Steve,
Sorry to interject, but I noticed your grandma has poison ivy rash around her eye? Anything close to the eyes should be seen by a physician, just in case she didn't do that yet.
Kisses,

SURE you were, Steve!
SURE that's what you were going to say, mol. Us weeds are survivors, Steve, you ought to relate to that. Not like those fancy hothouse orchids that ya can't even breathe on. Us weeds push up sidewalks. Us weeds destroy roads! Weed power!

Oops, that last could be taken wrong, couldn't it? Especially out here on the West Coast. Anyway, you're making fun of ME, but did you know there's a picture of YOU on Human Channel with a dead animal in your mouth? Great one, by the way.

Hi K. Steve!
Thanks for the concatulations to me and Talley on our engagement! We are two happy kitties! I guess you are right. I will be eating like a king everyday in this family! MOL!

I see you managed to escape from your suit of armor. You look like you might be trying to run away from it in your profile picture! I'll help you tackle it buddy!

The outside kitties were on edge this morning, as was Mom when she opened the garage and smelled skunk! My Mom got out her flashlight and tennis racket and went out walking along the street, to hopefully scare it away if the skunk was still nearby. Thank goodness the coast was clear. Not sure what Mom would have done if she had run into the skunk. :( Whitey and Orangie ate fine; everyone just seemed a bit nervous.

I left a vote with purrs and hugs.

CATS AND FOOD

You will find that feeding a cat is no easy task
What's the big problem you may well ask
Just open a tin and feed them from that
It is obvious my friend you don't own a cat
When outside they will eat a fly or a mouse
But things soon change when they dine in the house
Your fridge might be full of meat, poultry and fish
But what do you put in your fussy Cat’s dish
For to keep a Cat fed we beg, steal and borrow
Because what we give them today they won't want TOMORROW.

A Word With Whiskers – May 20
Top Reasons To Keep Cats Indoors – Part 1 (from cats.about.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Many cat lovers are now savvy that indoor cats are safer cats, while others still think that cats deserve freedom to run in the great outdoors. When humans domesticated cats, we took on the responsibility for their health & welfare. Part of that responsibility is to keep cats safe & in good health. For those holdouts for letting cats roam free, consider these top reasons to keep cats indoors.

• To Monitor Your Cat’s Urinary Tract/Bowel Health. With an outdoor cat, pet owners are unable to monitor painful attempts to urinate or poop. The first, a red flag warning for UTI or urinary tract blockage; the second, a red flag for constipation, bowel blockage or mega-colon.

• Indoor Cats Are Safe From Predators & Dog Packs. Outdoor cats are below predators in the food chain, & they are sitting ducks for owls, raptors, coyotes, & native big cats. Dogs running in packs will consider a cat fair game; even one large dog can easily overpower & kill a cat. Remember that some dogs are also bred to attack; they are not really to blame when their instinct takes over. Even with a full set of fangs & claws, the cat rarely has a chance when caught outside.

• Indoor Cats Don't Create Neighbor Problems. Even "well-bred" cats will venture into neighbors' yards when allowed to roam free. People who don't like cats will not tolerate cats using their gardens as litter boxes, & will sometimes resort to extreme measures to keep the cats out.

• Indoor Cats Rarely Get Abscesses From Fighting. Cats are very territorial & will defend their territory to the death, if challenged by another cat. At the very least, these territorial battles often result in abscessed wounds, which can be deadly if not treated in time. There's also the chance, of course, of cats contracting FIV from deep bite wounds.

• Indoor Cats Are Safe From Human Abuse. Freely-roaming cats are easy targets for gangs of youths with time on their hands, for cat-haters, who seek cats out for target practice, & for neighbors who would think nothing of killing a cat for trespassing on their property. Although animal protection laws are beefing up, prosecution will never bring a loved cat back to life.

• Indoor Cats Can Get Plenty of Exercise. Cats do get exercise, but they can get it safely with interactive toys, climbing towers, scratching posts, & other indoor toys; all much safer than running from dogs or fighting with other cats. Remember also that there are safe compromises for the outdoor experience.

Hi, Steve: Cleveland Indians, huh? Has your Grandma seen the movie "Major League"? It's about the Indians - not a documentary, a comedy. It's one of mom's favorite movies. Mom has to go start cleaning in the living room. Isn't that a waste of time? By tomorrow there will cat fur all over everything again! Hugs, Kaylin

Backyard Games Week!
Full contact croquet and blind man's lawn darts. Wow! Off to a great start! We're gonna do all the good stuff and run out of really fun and death defying yard games....

Oooh, downhill slip-n-slide. I like! Let's not forget to set the bowling pins up at the bottom. The real ones, not those sissy plastic ones. :)

I guess we can always drum up a game of good old fashioned touch football. I get Mr. Sniff on my team. We can start picking teams all week and then grunt our way through the game Saturday! I might want Ziggy too. She's handy with her feet. Point her in the right direction and I think she might make a pretty good place kicker! :)

Okay, there's this little matter of Be a Millionaire day. I think if we get enough strawberries, and fudge a little - okay, a LOT - on the weighing and measuring, in other words, CHEAT! we might skim enough to be millionaires by the end of the day. Whattya think? I mean, isn't that how it's done in the good old U. S. of A.? :)

Ok Steve, i'll be the genius, again, if i have to!
first we can't sell Randy & Ramona until summer when they'll be at their biggest and bring the most money. i do like how fickle you become as soon as we're talking cold hard cash. you're willing to "send them up river" just to buy a new paddleboat! MOL

as for picking strawberries,i'm not touching those disgusting things. have you ever taken a good look at them? they have zits all over them! just how dirty are they???????? and the one time i touched one it felt just like rubber and they look like they're plastic! i don't think they're even real. although mom eats them all the time. i can't watch,makes me gag! and i won't even get close enough to give her a "nose kiss" for a week!

btw,one of your best pics,buddy! i might swipe it in case i see a frame in the future :)

Tooo Cooool!!
You and your Gma a.k.a Steve's Life Documentarian, took mew and exciting photos of you on that green green grass!! PLEase do not mention my big "sporran" butt anymore now that I've had a good look at those fluffy hips. And I do not mean fur, either.
Ever since you have been living the cushy life of an indoor cat -- great isn't it?-- you have put on a little extra sporran down there.
We got to see that future 'Steve the Hunter' poster photo on FB last night. We do not see those small furry things, chippies?, over here. You have to be quick to get those. Are they yummy when fresh and warm? Actually I do not ever eat or catch outdoor non-processed food. I wonder if your Gma will be brave (or dum-dum) enuf to post that photo with your mouth full of the dead chippy? Could be censored right off the cc.
And, I just cannot tell you often enuf how much I admire your stump.
Regarding the nip situation...
Our cat sitter brought a big bouquet of cut nip from her garden. Apparently she has it taking over and no one to keep it under control! Sounds like we need to make a visit. Purrhaps a weekend or all week Catnip-Camp-o Ree? But, being finicky none of us cared for the picked version even though mom has it in a pot of water hoping it will root.
So, the dear cat sitter agreed to dig up plants and bring them over here so we can plant them in the yard to let them take over like they do in hers. It all takes time, alas...
mom bought some expensive organic dried nip at a rip off pet store lately. Even UBB didn't like it... and he goes for anything with the word nip in it.
We have chewed down to the nibs the nip plants out there in our yard-- which for three cats is simply not enough.
Have a happy day or week, Steve... which ever comes first.
Purrs,
PD

Since our kitchen ...
... only has one oven, I made arrangements for us to use a commercial kitchen near my home. There are about 8 BIG ovens, so we can make lots and lots of cakes; that means lots and lots of bowls and beaters to lick clean. Maybe we should have a pawty and share all the goodness with others. No, not the batter ... the cakes. Now, how many bowls of dark chocolate frosting do you think we'll need? And I made a nice dark chocolate pudding filling for between the layers. STEVE, that's for in the cakes! Give me that bowl!

Oahu ...
Lovely Hawaiian ladies place leis on our necks as we disembark in Honolulu. These are a special gift of aloha - welcome, and love. The ladies receive those made of white ginger or jasmine … our choice. I love jasmine; my choice is simple. Oh, the beautiful fragrance. No wonder everyone wants one of these when in Hawaii. For the men, there are leis of kukui nuts. With our shirts and dresses from Hilo Hatties, we are ready to explore the final island of our Hawaiian adventure.

Here, Hawaii’s timeless beauty blends with the modern luxuries of today. We can swim in the warm waters of world-famous Waikiki one moment, then enjoy the dramatic mountain views of the Nuuanu Pali Lookout another; watch the surfers on the legendary North Shore by day, then dance the night away in vibrant nightlife spots around Honolulu; get a taste of local flavors in Kapahulu one night, then dine at a Five Diamond Hawaii Regional Cuisine restaurant the next.

Our first visit is to 350 acre Diamond Head crater, one of the best-known volcanic craters in the world, whose vantage point offers some incredible panoramas of Honolulu. We choose to start early to avoid the heat of the sun. Diamond Head State Monument encompasses over 475 acres, including the interior and outer slopes of the crater. This broad, saucer-shaped crater was formed about 300,000 years ago during a single, explosive eruption that sent ash and fine particles in the air. As these materials settled, they cemented together into a rock called tuff. The panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu's south shore from the top are impressive. We will have many gorgeous photos for our memory books. We learn the crater was named Diamond Head by 19th century British sailors who thought they discovered diamonds on the crater's slopes. These "diamonds" were actually shiny calcite crystals that had no value. The volcanic crater, a major Oahu landmark, has been extinct for 150,000 years.

Next we travel to Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the US. It was the official residence of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani, the last king and queen to rule Hawaii; the monarchy was abolished in 1893. We take the guided tour, which leaves us thinking our own Castle on CC is just as impressive and much more inviting to fun-loving kitties.

Time for an island luau dinner and then to bed as tomorrow we head to Pearl Harbor. See pics of Diamond Head and the palace on my page.

Brutal recap! 5-19-13
Ugh, these Sunday recaps are SUCH heavy lifting! I think there are all of FIVE members here today. I hope I can make it through this without a mistake....

First out and stuck in the middle of Lake Mimi without a paddle is herself with a 61. Maybe you can tie one of those wieners to each leg and use them for water wings to paddle ashore. Not going for it huh?

Celebrating something only he could get enthusiastic about is Steve, giving us his best May Ray Day cheesy grin and hitting a 64. He does have a point about the hover cart though.

Engine has managed to extricate herself from the clutches of hug-happy mom to knock in a soggy 62. No, no competition for the food cart from the hover cart. Food is food, hover is hover.

Mallow is craving Roast Beast Biscuits. And she brought her own dessert too - Devil's food cake. Beast? Devil? Mallow, should we start worrying? Although you aren't scaring anybody with that 52.

Last in line is Bee Gee, foregoing chicken heads in favor of the slightly less aerodynamic but weightier Barbie head, she also bangs one for a 52. And without any beastly devils, I might add. Just sayin'.

And the winners are:

1st - Tie, Mallow and Bee Gee. Devils and chicken heads. Maybe we SHOULD start worrying....
2nd - Mimi, 61. Did the wiener water wings help any?
3rd - Engine - 62. You don't happen to have a recipe calling for chicken heads and wiener wings?

Oh boy, if there had been just ONE more tie, there would be no one to do cart duty today. As it is, poor Steve will be on his own out there. Be brave. I think most of the scary crawly things are actually in your closet! :)

Hey, Steve! I got nothing!
Except envy! Dude! You get to go OUTSIDE? That's a place we three are never allowed to venture. That's the territory of the local feral colony, and Mom says its too sketchy to risk it for us. Jakar's brothers, Cesar and Shilo, live with a neighbor who allows them out, but Shilo got into a tussle with one recently and got a reminder of why its not a good idea. He's fine, no real damage, but mom says she's not taking the chance with us!

You can stick an entire egg beater in your mouth?? Why does that not surprise me. Stretchy rubber lips....

Darn Orb! That takes care of mom's interest in horse racing for another year. The ONLY thing that makes any of it interesting is if there MIGHT be a triple crown winner. That's gone, so ... ppphhttt! So is our attention. On to bigger and better things. Like a sea monkey circus!

Yup, today is Circus Day! We can get all our little sea monkey jockeys mounted on their little sea horses :) and have our own races. After the races we can all dine on sea biscuits :) and gravy. We can hire little sea urchins to clean the tiny little stalls, and we can have a sea lion taming act with ferocious sea lions in cages. We'll hire an old sea dog for the job. Maybe we can find the old sea hag from the Popeye cartoons and hire her as a fortune teller. We can lock her up in one of those little fortune teller booths.

Oh, the possibilities are endless here. We just need to get this cake in the oven so we can start planning our big top adventure. If you would just take the mixer out of your mouth. Maybe we can even let you be in the freak show (didn't Molly & Ernie discuss this once?). "The Amazing Rubber Boy! See him swallow entire tennis balls. And that's just for starters!" Hahhaaa!!

Sure did need that Reese's Cup, Steve
We had one of those in the fridge and somebunny ate the Reese's Cup and left the wrapper. Who does that? Bakin' you a Devils Food Cake today, hope you like it. I'm escaping to the Pinto, am mucho annoyed at mom. I went to rub on her leg this morning and she was holding that baby brutus on her LAP! Hey I look pretty foxy in my Halloween tail. :) I like sporting the evil look so you can annoy me anytime.

That goofy little beast barks at kitties; mom says we will all work on that, she doesn't want the smelly thing to get her eyes scratched out. I assigned Rennie to it and mom is playing some treat games with Rika and Rennie.

Mom says she is the calmest and sweetest puppy ever, and I am afraid she has mom totally bamboozled; she acts smitten. Oh brother. The good thing is the beast sleeps a lot. Mom is laughing cause the pup is asleep near her and I am peeking in the room to check it out and decide whether it's dangerous or not. I was hoping it died but I guess it's just taking a nap.

Have a super day! Let's go boating in the froggie pond! We can try to catch some goldfish! Big chocolate peanut butter hugs, Steve! HUGS!

A Word With Whiskers – May 19
6 TAX DEDUCTIONS YOUR CATS CAN CLAIM FOR NEXT YEAR - (from catster.com)
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Cats love to take advantage of anything that might work in their favor. What if they could file taxes and claim deductions? You better believe they'd be all over that. What exactly would they claim? We've got some ideas.

1. Therapy deduction -
Cats should be able to claim monies paid for any therapy occurring as a result of having to wear silly outfits. The deductions would substantially increase for those felines whose shame is shared via social media outlets. In case of an audit, they must save all receipts and screenshots of photos shared online.

2. Energy-savings deduction -
Masters at conserving energy, cats would get to reap the benefits of helping save the planet. They'd log their sleep hours and, using a specialized formula, claim accordingly. There would also be a unique tax credit for cats who log a certain number of hours while lying in a sun puddle. It would be called the Solar Cat Tax Credit.

3. Charitable donations deduction -
Kitties are excellent gift givers. They drop toys into our empty shoes, leave expired creatures at the back door, and greet our bare morning feet with cold piles of vomity hairballs. It's about time they received credit for those charitable donations!

4. Casualty deduction -
Unfortunately, cats must deal with a multitude of casualties each year, primarily lost toys. Balls are batted under the refrigerator, cloth mice are drowned in the water bowl, and feathered birdies are ripped to shreds. Mourning the loss of vanished toys is tough, but the load can feel a lot lighter when they can write those losses off and experience true closure.

5. Entertainment deduction -
It takes a lot of energy to entertain humans. Cats subject themselves to a fair amount of embarrassment in order to please the human with the can opener. As a way to help them feel their hours of performing for humans are not in vain, an entertainment deduction would be available to kitties.

6. Paid interest deduction -
Sometimes cats just want to sleep, birdwatch, or curl up and stare at a bug on the screen door. However, humans may have other ideas: "Kitty, kitty! Come sit on my lap!" The human is the bringer of the food, and so cats sometimes placate her whims. They really should receive credit for showing interest when really they'd rather flick their tail and go back to sleep. And most times, they do just that -- some deductions just aren't worth it.

I hope you enjoyed today’s playful purring!

Thanks for sharing your raft ...
... love the Ninja Turtle theme. Wonder if there are Ninja Turtles in Hawaii. I haven't seen that big moo ... or little moo ... and all the kitties seem to be having fun in the water, with no unexplained disappearances, so I think we have mollified that critter sufficiently. Still, better safe on a raft than sorry, right? Tomorrow we will leave Molokai and begin nearly a week of exploring Oahu. Mom is preparing everything so we can get right into the hula swing of things as soon as we reach port. Grab your camera, your swim trunks, and your courage ... we WILL do something quite new and exciting while there.

Come visit me, Q. Cherish - COTM March 2012.

HAPPY CATURDAY!
A quick Hi---- 3 cats got adopted today, but not from our house and not Zeus! Both he and mom came home happy. She has a possibility of a friend to house-sit for us, which means the dogs could stay home. The only catch is her friend has 3 small dogs, so it depends if they can get along with us and us with them. Mom said the dogs are OK with other animals. but we will have to meet them and mom said maybe she would ask them to try a couple overnights before she goes. Barney.

No dirty dishes! 5-18-13
As if any of us care, actually. Since either our moms or Engine are in charge of clean up. We're in charge of "mess up". :)

Up putting early this morning in the cold is Ana, with a chilling 38 and a putt of 11. Rowing in right behind her is Mimi with J.C. at the helm, delivering a 61 and a putt of 7.

Tucker claims to be heading in the right direction for once, with a 51 and a putt of 6. Paddling along with Mimi's row boat is water boy Steve with a 57 and a pretty lousy putt of 12. Sloshing and galoshing to the Mudmobile with her mud pies, Engine hits a 61 for a putt of 7.

Coming into the clubhouse for a game of pool after his sunny/cold combo of 38 for 11, UBB heads to the basement to look for any remaining Cat Daniels. Bee Gee decides to hit up the vending machines for some Reeses after her dismal 48, and a putt of 12. "Hit" is a figure of speech, Bee Gee....

Mallow rolls her soggy 52 across the green, kicking up those little golf ball rooster tails, for a putt of 7. And finally Bart is stunning in bright green water-wear (does that mean 'raincoat'?) and leaves a 63, for a putt of 9, with the scorer.

And now for the winners:

1st - Tucker, 6. No doubt about it, that's the right direction.
2nd - 3-way tie, Mimi, Engine, and Mallow. And you guys don't even live anywhere NEAR each other!
3rd - Bart, 9. It's the green. How can you lose wearing "putting" green?

O-M-G!! I don't want to be the one to say this, but it looks like Steve and Bee Gee will be on cart duty tonight. It's a good thing tomorrow is Sunday. I doubt there will be a lot of carts in operational condition!

Oh! Speaking of carts, everyone cast your eyes on the bottom of the page and see Tucker's hover cart that we've all heard so much about but we finally just got a picture of. Way cool! Now everyone will want one. Except Engine! Hahhaa!

Holy smelly beasts Steve!
Great you got rid of yours today for a few hours but OH my goodness we got visited by one today! Hope it goes back where it came from....I gave it a couple of hisses and got my Halloween tail out. Sis says it tried to chase Rennie and Rennie turned around and it whimpered in fear. Can you imagine? The worst part is that mom seems inexplicably fond of this little beast. There are times I do not understand pawrents at all.

It's beautiful weather here, we can spend the day in the froggie pond. I'll get my new two-piece swimsuit on. Can't have too many of those Sea Monkeys, let's teach them some more tricks and have a little circus today. Got a cotton candy maker and a popcorn popper. You are such a gentleman letting me go first. Tee hee did you think the Sea Monkeys would bite? Their bites tickle

Have a super duper day! Big hugs!

That was a blast
at the Headless Chicken Festival, wasn't it? But you know, I think we’re all about to get kicked out early. Uh, you know how Angel Gracie has been obsessed lately with the World Naked Bike Ride that happens in June? Well, it's in JUNE, Steve. Don't worry, she got some of the other kitties confused, too. The good folks of Fruita are not amused, though. They've already told us we're kind of pushing the “no pets allowed at the Festival” rule, anyway. I just think they were jealous that O.J. set a new town record when he won the wing eating contest. Anyway, I think we had all better light out to join Q. Cherish in Oahu before things start to get really ugly. -- Mallow

PS: By the way, I just learned something about my name. Wouldja believe a "Mallow" is a kind of flower? So for Neighbour Day, here's a vase of Mallow flowers for you, also called a wild Swamp Rose! That is NOT to be confused with a Stink Weed, Steve! Whole different thing.

No dirty dishes?
I figured that meant we had to eat off the floor. I'm all for finger foods today then. Or something out of a bag. We can't be crawling around licking the floor when the race starts! And speaking of race, it's Safe Boating Week, so you BETTER have your toilet seat. Be prepared! I think we can out-row J.C. and Mimi in my sink. Watcha thinks?

And back to the race (you following all this? Maybe you need a map for my conversations!). I don't know WHY we didn't pick Orb in the Derby. I mean come on, it's obvious NOW. Orb. ORB. O-R-B! Orange Rat Boy!! How did we miss it! Especially YOU! It's ALL your fault this time, NO excuses! You should have been all OVER that pick! So, who do we like in the Preakness? Hmmmm....... Maybe we should go with the fav this time.

Come on, you need to jump in the home brew barrel and give it a little mix with your custom "stirrer". Secret ingredient indeed! We want this barrel ready to roll by race time! :)

Hi K. Steve!
This morning my Mom was with the outside kitties for over an hour. I was getting pretty tired of waiting! Mom sat on the floor again, to get to eye level with the outside cats, and Whitey really likes this. Whitey kept rubbing her face all over Mom & purring. Mom’s clothes were covered in fur! Callie and I were quick to check it out and sniff to see whom she had been with. MOL!
Orangie was reluctant at first, but then would sneak behind Mom, sniff her and then go running away. Mom didn’t move and Orangie kept coming back like it was a game. Sniff and Run! Afterwards the kitties ate, not really noticing any scents from Callie and me. (I really think I need to spray that cat carrier. MOL!) Mom says this was a good morning. :)

I left a vote with purrs and hugs. Your Gma had it right! Mom took a blanket to set on the ground, because she saw a spider crawling on the garage floor this morning. My Mom is a big baby when it comes to spiders, so I don't think she will be laying on the garage floor! MOL!

A Word With Whiskers – May 18
Heaven Is...
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
A man was riding his horse down a road, cat in his arms & his dog by their side. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, & that his horse, cat & dog had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stonewall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, was a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. Standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch, made from mother of pearl, & the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He nudged the horse toward the gate, & as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk. Once close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, & I'll have some ice water brought right up."

The man gestured, & the gate began to open. "Can my furiends," gesturing downward towards his horse, cat & dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept animals."

The man thought a moment & then turned his horse & dog back toward the road, cat in his arms & continued the way he had been going. At the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree & reading a book. "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

"Sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."
"How about my furiends here?" the traveler asked.
"There should be a bowl & a bucket by the pump."

They went through the gate, & sure enough, there was an old hand pump with a bowl & a bucket beside it. The traveler filled the bowl & took a long drink himself, then gave some to his cat & dog while he filled the bucket for his horse. When they all were satisfied, he led his furiends back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street & pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who’d leave their best furiends behind."

Poor little wormie! He is green & a little sticky
Guess the lights of the city were not for him. Maybe we can swing a hammock beneath and make him a groovy playground. Even a little slide so he can come down quick and dirty. Mallow & I are going to see the headless chicken also. I think I might sneak in a hatchet and finish the ole boy off. Then we can all do the dirty chicken dance and wormie can climb inside the eyeballs and take a tour without anyone being the wiser. Cheers for wormie!!!!! The bravest worm of all time. Hip Hip Hoo Ray! Audience claps and sends big tips flying through the air. Soon he will be the # 1 worm of all time. Who would have known he was getting so rich and famous. I think we've got a money making scam going here. i can just see js riding down the hiway in that new truck of yours with wormie sitting on the hood. O.J.
