Life is like a box of odd-toed ungulates.

Me from 2009.

What if the monster truck rally radio commercial voiceover guy normally talks like that?

At a Starbucks:
“VENTI VENTI VENTI!!!”

Buying a toilet at Lowe’s:
“WHY DO I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE SEAT IF I ONLY NEED THE EDGE!?!?”

At the ballet:
“YOU CALL THAT A PIROUETTE!?!?”

Deer hunting with his pals:
“IT MUST HAVE SMELLED US!!!”

At a funeral:
“SHE’S IN A BETTER PLACE NOW!!!”

At a ski resort:
“AVALANCHE!!! ANOTHER AVALANCHE!!!”

Discussing the weather:
“IT’S NOT THE HEAT!!! IT’S THE HUMIDITY!!!”

In the kitchen:
“MY SOUFFLÉ!!!”

At the proctologist:
“MY BOWELS ARE ALREADY SHAKING!!!”

In space:
“………………..!!!”

At a public library:
“I HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE IN HERE AS EVERYBODY ELSE!!!”

Calling the family cat in at night:
“MISTER WHISKERS!!! MISTER WHISKERS!!! HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY!!!”

Checking on his children at midnight:
“ARE YOU ASLEEP!?!?”

At first glance, do you see tomatoes or the chubby, upturned hands of an evil clown about to kill you?

Sweet dreams, my friends.

Truth in Packaging: Goo-Goo Cluster Edition

Expectation…

…Reality

Still ate it, though.

You can’t judge a book by its cover, but its spine is a friggin’ tattletale.

What a fine collection of weighty tomes from the Barnes & Noble bargain section…

…Dammit, Barnes & Noble!

So close.

[sips… sips again…] I think Taco John’s used the wrong beans.

Sometimes making a brave beverage choice backfires.

KITTEN — So cute, you’ll die.

I love how this Simply Nourish cat food brand decided to go with the horror movie poster look for their packaging design.

KITTEN — Some cats will scratch your leg. This one will slash your throat.

KITTEN — Sometimes finding a good cat food is murder.

KITTEN — She likes to play with her prey, and her prey is you.

KITTEN — Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen.
