This Is Not The Twilight Zone

Nothing strange happens here. I don't know where you heard those reports of me becoming a crotchety old lady- Hey you kids, get off my lawn!- but they are not true. Nor do I regress- I can't hear my Piglet movie over your stupid firecrackers! Everyone knows how to act their proper age. Right?

It's perfectly normal here. There are no strange men in hats lurking around, and no one wants to take over the world. No one gets scared- Leave now while you still can!- and we all just go our own merry little ways. Just regular bloggers here. Right?

No one goes over the line here. There's no blogging at work, and no talk of scary clowns- I can't watch IT anymore it freaks me out! No stalking, and no masquerading as fictional people. Not here. That's too odd to be here. Right?

Nothing weird happens here. Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do....Hey, what's that? This is just a nice, happy place where nobody disagrees. DO-DO-DO-DO DO-DO-DO-DO. This isn't the Twilight Zone. I am not in the Twilight Zone. I'm here, safe in my sane little blogdom. Isn't that right? Right? RIGHT???

Honey, if you need medication, I still have contacts in psychiatry.

Unless you're going that whole "Tom Cruise anti-psychiatry" route...

could this be inspired by the Twilight Zone Marathon I saw that was on tv yesterday.

You are so entertaining, and perky, I love the perk! Who needs a cup of coffee when they can come over here for a warm cup of 'Unmoody Tootie'?

So, I got to thinking...

A peek in the shower reveals "Nudy-Tootie"

And Naughty Nettie = "Tootie Pootie-Tang"

Or dancing Nettie = "Shake your bootie Tootie"

Dirty Nettie = "Cootie Tootie"

Army Nettie = "Tootie on Duty"

Unfortunately once a month we have "Moody Tootie" but only since she turned 13.

Darlene, the rules specifically state to "keep it clean and respectful".

Oh, wait, you mentioned a shower--guess that covers the clean.

But respectful? OK, now I see the military reference, and since America just celebrated its 229th birthday, I suppose an argument can be made that you're being respectful.

Seriously, though: "Pootie-Tang"? Is that a fart-scented breakfast drink?

I don't know why but these comments reminded me of this poem by Spike Milligan.. I think it was something Darlene said!

On the Ning Nang Nong

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
Theres a Nang Nong Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the Mice go Clang!
And you just cant catch em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong!
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning!
Trees go Ping!
Nong Ning Nang!
The mice go Clang!

What a noisy place to belong,Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!

Spike Milligan - from Silly Verse for Kids, 1968

PS

You are quite sane - it's just everyone else who are not.....

Well, I was trying to find my sanity, but I feel at home here....
Ha! Nettie, you're da bomb, girlfriend! My twist on a quote by Adam Sandler's character in 'Spanglish': "Trying to maintain your sanity can drive you insane."

We are okay here in blogdom. Is it juice time? We need to go and have our juice now. Special juice.

Maybe Cori's 'special juice' is Pootie Tang. When you need a wake up zap, nothing does the job quite as well as Pootie Tang!

And the jingle ~ sung in harmony by the Hallow boys ~ goes...

"Wake up fast with Pootie Tang ~ Hold the nose and down it goes."
