They see me rollin’… they beepin’…

What a week it’s been. Major hack of the site (fixed), turned down for a couple of jobs that I was totally qualified for (getting used to it with a certain grim inevitability), been sick (blargh)… tonight I spotted this bizarre configuration of toys in Little E’s room and thought to myself… man, I wish I was having as much fun as these guys.

Bots gone wild

CAGED SUGAR!

CAGED SUGARSo see if you can follow me on this one.

My wife grabbed a bag of sugar out of the pantry, something about needing to mix it with some kind of exfoliant stuff she’s been using. Rather than put the sugar back in the pantry, she’s been storing it… in Maria’s old cat carrier. Which is plenty clean, but it’s just an awfully strange place to park a sack of sugar, y’know?

After walking by this strange sight numerous times, I finally asked her “What’s up with the caged sugar?” And she told me.

So help me, I still think it’s a weird thing to do. So I’ve taken to walking past it and saying “CAGED SUGAR!” in a deep, Blaxploitation-movie-trailer voice, followed by bow-chicka-wow music, because it sounds for all the world like a freakin’ women’s prison-break flick from the ’70s.

We’re weird.
