Heeheee...when he walks in I say "Hey WASSUP?????? Who ARE you?"

He just laughs.

Ketchup would be a good name for him. My friend from NC named his dog Pickles and his then 12 yo daughter, in her heavy NC accent, said "Wha didn't yew just name him Ketchup?"

I loves da Sea Monkeys.

I had a Micro View Ocean Zoo in my office 25 or so years ago.

My friend, forksbob, also had one.

One Monday he came into work to find there had been a population explosion.

The mystery of the Sea Monkey fecundity was solved when his boss sheepishly came to him a few days later and fessed up.

She had knocked over his Micro View Ocean Zoo.

And panicked.

And went to a pet store.

Imagine that. Woman in a business suit screaming, "What do you mean, you don't have sea monkeys? I killed my programmer's sea monkeys and I need to replace them before he comes in on Monday, dammit!"

Luckily, the weird guy in the back of the store knew what sea monkeys really are, and that they don't actually have their own furniture. (I am not convinced about this ... I think that the magnifying glass dents on the Micro View Ocean Zoo are simply of insufficient power to reveal the couch and the high chair.)

The boss walked out with a baggie full of brine shrimp and thought none would be the wiser. But she had been raised Catholic, and the guilt got to her so she had to confess and seek forgiveness.

I had this feeling that I had told this story here before ... lo and behold, I had.

Deja MicroView.

I love your Sea Monkey story, wolf!

Yeah, my Sea Monkey wasn't Jesus after all. He's gone. Disappeared. Poof. Missing.

My cat friend visited twice this weekend. I didn't really have anything for him to eat. I'm not sure this is a good habit to get into. But he's so freaking funny!

Cats is always good habits to get into.

Unless you have a secret hamster and the first your housemates know about it is a dead hamster in the living room, because you are all really cat lovers but the rental clause says no pets.

Stupid bloody cat - you take your leftovers home with you.
