"Use All The Crayons!" Theme ... Dogs 'n' cats
Very gratified by the reaction to this week's "Use All The Crayons!" podcast. This episode -- theme: Laughter" -- comes nearest to what I had in mind when I started. Very grateful to Brandon Hallick and Headspace Media for so deftly helping me realize this vision.
Will this be the format that finally helps me breakthrough to mass readership and stable income? I don’t know. All I know is I engaged in similar so-called get-rich-quick schemes, as misleading a description from me as possible. For can it be a GRQS if I’ve been working on it 30 years and I’m no where near rich?
Today’s theme … “Dogs and cats”
• I wonder what goes through the dog's mind when he sees me alone in a quiet room frantically looking for the remote.
• I’m trying to persuade daughters to rename our annoying little yip dog Peeve, so I can with all honesty say, "And this dog is my pet Peeve."
• That catbird means an advantageous position matters far less to me than the potential hybrid that results the day we mingle their DNA. Do you want as a house pet a cat that can fly or a bird that snoozes the day away cozied up on your lap? I'd go with the flying feline. And while we're at it, what would the titmouse look like if it looked like its component names?
• I’m going to be famous! I just taught Snickers how to sing/bark "I Want You To Want Me!" Yes! I taught an old dog Cheap Trick!
• Someone letting the cat out of the bag will become more impactful to me as soon as I start seeing more instances of bagged cats.
• My aim is not to be controversial and please don't read too much into this, but I feel compelled to point out the simple truth: cat naps are for pussies.
• I’m going to name our next dog, "Gusto" so I can spend my days lounging on my couch drinking beer and still contend I'm living with gusto.
• Daughter, 10, expressed frustration our canine can't yet be considered a watch dog. Told her to give it time.
Randoms …
Getting out of bed makes me feel like WWI soldier being ordered to vault from trench into No Man’s Land certain to face heroic annihilation.
• I’m still mystified why more transgender people don't congregate in a Wisconsin town named Sheboygan.
• I wonder if Hell has Congeniality contests and how long it'll be before Bill Cosby is eligible.
• I’m in a crusade to get national OBGYN organizations to start calling postpartum depression by a fun new name: "Stork Raving Mad!”
• My mind's been wandering so long I'm surprised it's not appeared on someone's milk carton.
