Reboot: Day 2/5 ; Post 3/3
I’ve mentioned before that my dog Panda enjoys using me as a leverage point when she’s having her bedtime “indestructible” bone product testing. I figure she’s brushing her teeth, good girl. Takes me about 3 minutes, her about 30. She’s very thorough. In the past her technique was localized to my ribs. I’m the human mortar to her canine pestle, and she is VERY determined to make a well ground pesto. I started using the tools at hand and superior intellect to remedy the pain. I used my thumbs, grabbed a pillow, and lodged it between us. I’m brilliant..ha ha! Well, she changed her approach in order to use my actual flesh as the point of attack. Now she starts on the ribs, moves to some stomach action, migrates to shoulder region. So…again I employed my mad skillz to remedy. I’ve been surrounding myself in a cocoon of pillows. I hope to wake up one morning with a set of awesome wings, but it hasn’t happened yet. Fingers crossed. She still seems to find a weakness in my pillow armor, though. I’ve been looking online at those padded Sumo suits people wear to attack one another. I may make one of those my new set of pajamas.
Hajime!

I have to admit I tickled myself with that one a bit. I’m really glad you like it. 😁

I don’t have a dog anymore but my 11 month old has taken to trying out his 6 new teeth on me. I might have to take a page out of your book and invest in a sumo suit as everyday attire. lol

Thank-you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! By the way, I did find a cool Sumo Suit that has Ninja Turtles all over it. I’m still disappointed about not growing any wings. Oh well.

A ninja turtle sumo suit…. thats one thing I wasn’t expecting from the marketing gods… guess nothing is beyond them… does it come equipped with a turtle shell you can hide inside?

It actually does have a shell, with a built in reading light and small LCD monitor. I get to play fort every night!

K’lee, I’m sorry but thought you should know what you faced if you ever ventured into Wally World. Since you are a singer, take the trauma I just caused you and make it the canvas on which to paint a tragic song regarding loss of innocence. Again, my apologies. 🏬 – 👼 = 😑

Shawn, no need to apologize… you did warn me and fortunately I didn’t scream too loud. I’m sorry to say that even after stating I would enter Wally World behind you in a sumo suit… I have to go back on my word… I just couldn’t do it…. I still want to hear about your adventure though.. I -just -…no…
I will take your advice and work what I witnessed into a song.. a tragic song about loss…of my retinal tissue, singed corneas, and the inability to blink for a full twenty minutes. It’s a fantastic challenge, one which I wholly accept!
Hey, what’s the Bruce Springsteen song? I’m sure looking it up won’t cause any eardrum damage. I like his music, but don’t know it that well.
Gotta ask: are the musical notation/quotation marks because you were singing as you were typing or picturing Bruce doing his thing?
…just asking…. ?

It’s actually just a quote from an interview with Bruce(I call him that because we’re simpatico). I added the musical notes for a little flava flav. I look forward to hearing your tragic ballad about viewing the “People of Wal-Mart”. I would imagine it to have a Blues tone..but it could be Death Metal..hard to call. Either way, I shall jammeth upon it and reflect on my sorrow for causing you pain. 🎼

You know… I had a feeling you probably knew Bruce! Doesn’t surprise me in the least. The musical notes totally work! Flava Flav would be giving you mad props about now.(I would know ’cause we’re kinda simpatico!)
OK, so the pressure is on! I’ll get to work on the tragi-ballad called… hmmm, ‘I Got the Wally World Blues'(?) If you’ve got a suitable title in mind, please don’t hesitate to toss it at me.
Once delivered, please do jammeth, Sire, but as the noble Prince once said-eth: ‘I didn’t mean to cause you sorrow, I didn’t mean to cause you pain.’ No need to feel bad.. especially if a great tragi-ballad comes out of it!

OK, Shawn. Thanks for making me ALMOST fall off my chair! I have yet to go into a Wal-Mart… but I’d do it to see you in your sumo suit!

You’re not missing much by avoiding “Wally World”. My friends and I call it that from the name of the theme park in “National Lampoon’s Vacation”. The only reason I MIGHT be noticed, would be for over-dressing. There’s truth in that last statement…trust me on that one. Google “people of Wal-Mart”, and be prepared for your view of humanity to change…and to laugh hysterically at the freak show!

See, now I’m terrified to use Google. I’m a singer with a BIG voice and laugh…my neighbors might think I’ve gone insane… and yet…’prepare for my view of humanity to change’
