i realize im running out of names.
there're SO MANY.
to begin with there's fee fi fo fum (each an individual person) then there's shoes socks feet (EAIP) and the owls pigs furthers (an individual group each) then there're the more secured names like stripes and lipstick and elizabeth and faith or hope or something. oh and let's not forget dodo aka toot head aka potato.
there's also the banana, the baboon, the gross, the beggar, and the moo.
and THEN there came feathers and buffa and tarantula (now weedo) and toadstool and The Weirdo. a few days later puffy was introduced with fluffy and peesy at its heels.
im so out of names. the name fluffy was plucked out of thin air because i could think of nothing else. even peesy has a slight relevance to its subject-in-question.
sheesh.
anyway, today was officially buffa's fifteenth birthday, which was officially a disaster for us. we planned surprise after surprise, only to have them all busted wide open.
first we planned to have a sort of surprise party thing at her house in the evening. we tried to call her mom to have her grant consent, but everytime we called dionne picked up, and we had to make up some lame excuse for calling her. in the end when we had everything beautifully planned out, she told us that she would b going to her grandfather's house to celebrate.
there went a perfectly good surprise-could-be.
next we planned to have mysterious gifts sent to her. unfortunately our courier wasnt very reliable and must have leaked something out, the untrustworthy twit who couldnt follow instructions like: 'pass the gift to her. say its from somebody. dont say anything else.'
and our last and final puny surprise. we bought a cake for her and planned to surprise her with it during recess. unfortunately she showed up earlier than calculated.
it was all very head-knocking-ish.
and i just read some personal recounts from weedo and tan min's blog. i would like to say that all comments there are NOT TRUE, and would like to set the record straight here.
ok visualize this: a chair.
got that?
right. now imagine an armrest next to it. one whose lid can b flipped up and down.
understand?
moving on. now, visualize rows upon rows of such armrested-chairs.
now, imagine sitting behind one such chair.
you look at the armrest of the chair in front of you, and your shoe inches over to it.
the tip of your shoe touches the lid and flips it open, and you nonchalently start doing something else.
the person in front of you discovers an open armrest and spends some time puzzling over it, tapping his seatmate on the shoulder and gesturing towards the armrest with words like 'ghost' slipped into the conversation now and then.
its an addictive pastime.
now, imagine some ignorant toothead sitting in front of you who doesnt even notice when BOTH of his armrests are flung up.
that would b peesy.
now for the really challenging bit.
visualize a weedo and a tan min sitting next to you, continuously flicking the armrest back down.
imagine some feathers getting really pissed off over this and flipping it back up again.
imagine a subtle, not-so-silent fight going on over the armrest, with the victim sitting just a few inches in front.
now, imagine you are peesy.
your armrest is being continuosly flicked up and down. there are muffled shrieks and scuffles going on just a few inches behind you. now, imagine NOT BEING AWARE OF ANY OF THIS.
THAT is an example of a REAL toothead.
how ignorant can one get?! to not notice one's chair getting kicked and shoved and one's armrest getting flung up and down and up again. not to mention the hysterical laughter and the aforementioned muffled shrieks.
sheesh.
well i bypart this precious bit of prankalogy to everyone (but only because weedo and tan min gave it away in their blogs already). its a really fun thing to do in the auditorium when some stuffy old teacher is giving some talk about volunteerism, HA.
another fun thing to do would b do imagine all the words 'volunteer' to become 'terrorize'.
so on the slide show were words like 'what is terrorism? who is a terrorist? why should i b a terrorist? what do i get out of terrorism?' its very, very funny.
well i have distributed enough wisdom. TTFN.
