One of Those Days...

Well, try as I might, I couldn't figure out how to "turn" a video I took upright.

Man, does that make me feel dumb. At any rate I wanted to share the video with someone that has been really busy lately in the Land Down Under. I'm going to post the video anyway. Since they are upside down, having the video on its side should actually make it easier for them to view because they only have to turn their head to one side (the right) instead of standing on their head as you can see from my picture.

Calvin's Dad has nothing on me. :)



To add to my distress this past Friday, the entire world seems to be in mourning.

No, I don't mean Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, or Ed McMahon. While they are icons of our age, and will be missed, I mean someone else, very near and dear to me... SpongeBob SquarePants!

RIP SpongeBob... we hardly knew ye. Sobs.

With SpongeBob's passing, I've had some idle hours on my hands, so to fill the void in my life, and the big hole in my heart, I searched high and low for something (or someone) new. Imagine my relief when I stumbled into the Zula Patrol! They even have a pretty cool website (here)!

May I introduce to you, from left to right, Whizzy (or Wiggy, they are twins), Gorga, Zeeter, and Commander Bula? As cool as a flying flash light, a robot dog, a purple chick that can pilot spacecraft and an dude that looks like a grasshopper with a red flower pot on his head are... they aren't my reason to watch the Zula Patrol!

No! My hero is Multo!!

multo the three eyed fish!
I'm sure many of you that have been reading my mental noise and nonsense for some time now instantly understand why this guy is my hero. He's an inventor, a scientist and best of all, has three eyes! (or rather, six of them in this picture!) With those sexy goggles on, I'm sure he(?) looks fabulous on a bike or just plain sticking his head out the spacecraft's window.

Ooooooh... I just like this picture. As you can see, the TV captioning is how I manage to understand Zula-nese. Put one check mark in the plus column for technology.

And now, with great pleasure, I wish to bestow upon some readers an award. I won't cite the specific comments they made that inspired me to give them this award. Why? because I've got some new ideas I'm working on in the "fun factory" because of them - and I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.

I know you're in mourning, but that comic strip was still funny. Glad to see you've found another way to occupy yourself! And thanks for the award! Can't wait to see what you're cooking up :)

The minute I saw those three eyes on Multo, I knew we had lost you.

SpongeBob died? Oh no! Did Gary survive? If so, who's going to feed him? Does Patrick know yet?

Congrats to the winners. :)

Now if only I could get that spongebob song out of my head....

Oh, and luck for me I have a laptop so I just turned it to the side to watch your video! And again, I could hear your breathing, so I thought it might be a scary-attack-the-flagpole-movie, but alas, it was not. You really get me going with that breathing ya know. I'm always like 'what's coming next?' 'oh, nothing.' One of these times you need to pull out a true suspense thriller. You've got the perfect breathing for it. ;)

I won't mention the death of SpongeBob to the kids, Em is already on the edge with MJ. Hopefully, Patrick and Squidward can carry the show. :)

You might like Phineas and Ferb too, it's one of my all time favorites. It's on the Disney Channel. Definitely check it out.

Okay, this may be a dumb question...but why did you take the video sideways to begin with?

spongebob dead? did someone wipe up the floor with him?

I've been perusing through your blog a little. That air show must have been amazing. Not too far from where I live there's an air show every summer. My husband and his dad fly. Not jets like this, but smaller aircraft, so the love for all things flying is pretty big around here.

Thanks for stopping on by my blog. :)

Thanks for the nice award!

ChicagoLady said...

I'm with AK, why did you hold your camera sideways when taking the video of the Australian flag? LOL

Congrats to the commenters that have inspired more craziness from you. I eagerly await the end results.

Oh noes! Now I gotta go back and see what I said that triggered a Creative Moose attack as for the life of me I cannot remember what was said. My luck it was something dumb I said in MSN messenger.
