Weekend

The wife's eye is better. Thanks for all your concern and comments. Just a little scarring but nothing that will affect vision. The doc says she can go back to contacts next week.

There has been a squirrel population explosion at my house. I went outside and there were at least 15 jumping all over the place, tormenting my poor dogs and ripping apart my trees and plants. I grabbed my pellet gun and aimed through the scope and fired...one fell out of the tree into the neighbors yard. I reloaded and fired three more times and three more fell. I really hate killin the little suckers but they are so goddamn destructive. The neighbors rotweiler ended up getting a good meal out of the deal.

I put the gun away then went up front to water the flowers. Two of the squirrel cousins or brothers of my victims had climbed over the roof and were stalking me. They were chattering away on the awning above my garage and the looked ready to pounce and take me out.

I've never seen a squirrel get so aggressive. They had closed in on me and were about 4 feet away so I turned the hose on them... Little bastards better think twice next time.

My girls have their ballet recital this weekend, they get to be in 3 shows. The wife got volunteered to chaperone the 3 to 8 year olds. They didn't ask me to do it thankfully. I think it's the perpetually annoyed and pissed off look I give their bitchy and annoying dance instructor.

I really fucking hate going to these shows because they always have a bunch of hip-hop bullshit intermixed with the "real" dancing. The last couple of times they had little kids doing moves that were bordering on pornographic.. I was pissed off and told the owner of the studio what I thought..she said she would make sure and approve the songs and routines from now on.

We'll see.


Oh yeah, here is a Friday song:

I know where you're coming from Hammer. I signed my daughter up for ballet when she was six. The "ballet" they did was to that highly annoying song Barbie Girl and there was more groin thrusting than anything else.

We changed dance schools the next year.

Hope your little ballerinas sparkle and shine this weekend!!

Yeah the treerats do have a population explosion in the springtime. So far I have not had to shoot them to thin them out...there are enough high line transformers and hawks and cats to do that for me. Besides, I may need them to eat one of these days

For a moment, I had a vision of Hammer as Bill Murry in Caddyshack.

Glad to hear your wife is better.

I know what you mean about the dance moves - I nearly choked at what some of the little girls did when we went to Lily's recital. I think certain moves should not be a part of a show until well past puberty.

Huh, I went to my nieces recital recently and it was lovely.
But I have seen the yoga pants a local studio has their little girls wearing.

Says, Tiny Dancer across the butt.
Doesn't sound to bad, but when you see it, it just screams "stripper"

Scary squirrels!

Yeah, I'm not a prude, but I have thought for a while that the dance routines taught to kids these days are way too suggestive. It's embarrassing.

I don't blame the squirrel brothers at all for being mad at you!!! I understand the annoyance but....they are so cute! I love squirrels.

I hear ya on the hiphop dance thing - I hope you have a good report to share on the recital.

Just be thankful they aren't teaching pole dancing to your girls.

This is why I wouldn't let my daughter be on the cheerleading squad next year. To much bumping and grinding.

I would take a ride down memory lane, in a Galaxie 500, and murder those damned squirrels!

Good job.

Enjoyed listening to the Reverend Horton... been a long time.
Squirrels got into my attic a couple years ago. Insanity. One spray of fox urine and they were OUT and away within, I dunno, three seconds. :)
