oh, the indignity


As the ferocious holiday season crawls mewling and puking to a close, I could catalog the myriad indignities I was forced to suffer, such as wearing these antlers, being poked at by children wielding Hot Wheels (tm), or having to eat kibble when perfectly good steak was available. But I won't. Instead, I'll merely say these antlers no longer reside in Chez Ambrose, and that makes it a lovely start to a new year. Happy 2007, Minions!

merry, etc.


May your holidays leave you swathed in lush, red velvet while you luxuriate on a crushed velvet couch. Or something akin to that.

p.s. Where are my gift-wrapped pizzles, people? This Christmas tree ain't gonna lay its own presents, you know.

congrats, tep-daddy!




How refreshing, when a minion attains a new level of intellectual prowess. It makes me feel all the more satisfied when I can best them. But seriously...congratulations, Miss Tep, on capping, gowning, and the like.

ruminations on power


Is it so wrong to use my adorability to control the minions and sycophants that I encounter? I suppose I should have some type of humility, I think sometimes, a kind of check and balance to my power that's in line with a Schoolhouse Rock lesson about governmental branches. But then I realize that Schoolhouse Rock was likely written by a bunch of TV interns who ate Ding Dongs for lunch and smoked pot all night as they rummaged through the couch cushions for enough change to buy pizza. I mean, these are the people who turned a legislative bill into a depressive, whiny Eeyore who had all the self-esteem of a flat-chested "Girls Gone Wild" participant. They're the ones who used phrases like, "Right On!" as uttered by Susan B. Anthony. Granted, Minion is currently teaching a citizenship class in which she draws heavily from the jingles of her youth, and is investigating ways to incorporate "Lady Godiva was a freedom ridah" into a discussion of the executive branch, but that's no reason I should lessen my formidable power by either check or balance. Fear me, minions!
