Not exactly another Blogosphere Meme Pool™ creation
[UPDATE: see here for the latest on this not-a-meme] Nah. Call it a "pseudo-creative writing assignment" if you want You meet the most... interesting folks in waiting rooms. Or not. But yesterday, in the cardiologist's waiting room, I sure did meet some folks who had tales to tell. From memories of the Korean War (complete with graphic descriptions of Pork Chop Hill) to other, tamer recollections. One not-so-tame, but less dramatic story involved a "waiter's" (you know, one of that group who's waiting for their spouse/friend/neighbor to finish some strenuous test/procedure) tale of his sister-in-law who went to the bathroom and lifted the toilet lid in preparation for an important function. Luckily (for the storyteller as well as his sister-in-law), she happened to look into the toilet bowl before proceeding and saw... a squirrel. (Pause for a moment while the image sinks in. Load your copy of Ray Stevens' "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" then proceed to the rest of the post.) So, a little help here. Any takers on using "squirrel in a toilet bowl" in a post? Bou? (Surely your boys have had a squirrel adventure! :-) George? (Consider it a news break with possibilities along the lines of "Costello buys a computer." :-) Kris? (Think: house hunting. heh ) Harvey? (Oh, the delicious dread contemplating what might come from THAT Bad Example... *ouch*) Dan? (Breaking News! :-) Anyone? :-) No rules about tagging or contents or format. This is NOT a Blogosphere Meme Pool™thing like the stinky punchbowl meme or even the Blogmothers Day™ or Blogfathers Day™ mini-memes. This is just a "what if" kinda thing. What if... someone posted a "squirrel in the toilet bowl" recipe to recipe.carnival (at) gmail (d-o-t) c-o-m (*shhhh* don't say that so loudly! Someone would)? What if... some engineer who had a rodent problem with her car contemplated engineering solutions to a squirrel in a toilet bowl ("Here: I have a very fine scientific calculator which I will give you to remove the squirrel from my toilet bowl.")? What if... That's all. No meme, just a wee "what if." Just what if? (Yes, I have an offering percolating, but I'll post it later.) Update: Well, Kris has had one real-world "squirrel-in-the-house" adventure and apparently wants a bye on contemplating one in her toilet bowl. I can understand that, but with a response like this, I couldn't help but wonder how much fun a "squirrel in the toilet bowl" submission from her might be...
Yeh. Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Now, if she'd just cornered it in the toilet bowl... |
