Smokey the Magnificent

1.Have you ever noticed that the face in the moon does not merely look like a generic old man with a moustache, but is exactly like Matthew Cuthbert from the Megan Follows Anne of Green Gables?
2. Me: “Do you like Parmesan cheese?”
Helpdesk Man: “It tastes like spew.”
Me: “But do you like it?”
Helpdesk Man: “Ehh, it’s alright.”
3. If you should hear the snortlepig telling you she pats winos, do not be alarmed. We took her to the zoo. And she did not pat the rhinos, merely ooed at them from over the fence, but it is sweet that she thinks she did. Maybe I can show her pictures of Europe and pretend when she grows up that we took her there.
4. I do not like audience participation. We went to a pantomime of Beauty and the Beast in the public gardens, and it was full of actresses chirpily cooing “Good morning!” Subdued mutter. “I can’t hear you!” Grudging rumble. “I said, good morning!” Pained bellow as the audience realises they are being held hostage and won’t get to the see the show unless they pony up with a yell. This always annoys me, but particularly when the initial response is more than adequate… which, however, was not the case yesterday. At any rate, I refused to be blackmailed and sat Britishly sulking until Belle abandoned her efforts to whip us into a frenzy - whether because she thought them a success or a failure, I do not care to speculate.
