...write an article about a black tie ball I went to last night where people bring their dogs. Dang, it is annoying to go to an event where even the dogs dress better than I do.

...dye a load of cotton wool with food colouring in order to dress myself up as a giant portion of candy floss.

It's in the oven now, drying.

I will then construct a windmill out of card (complete with a little cut-out Windy Miller) and, when the time comes, fit it to my head.

And then I will be The Mill on the Floss! You see!

Candy Floss? You mean cotton candy?
Ok I can handle that... but youre just doing this for jollies or is there some kind of event where you have to dress like a lunatic?

[Ruta Bagas]

Yep, that's the stuff. It's basically the latter, although strictly the brief is "dress as a literary title". It comes to the same thing, though.

Continued attempting to ride a unicycle.

I am up to going 5 to 7 feet before falling off.   Also: When I fall off, it is not ass first into the pavement.

A neighborhood couple walked by with their dog, saw me waggling my arms about rocking forward and back and said "Just one?  I guess it's all about efficiency these days."

I was just picturing your dogs in ball gowns and pearls, then realized you probably didn't bring them.

Right, unfortunately I can't wrangle the pugs and work at the same time. Also, apparently they are the only pugs in the world who refuse to wear clothes. There were lots of dogs there that did not have that same problem, though.

Picture! Picture!

Congrats on the purchase. I too request a picture of you and your animal.
Id name a hoss Frédéric Bastiat or Ludwig Von Mises, but thats me.

one of my kids, after our first day, told me that this is the most fun he has had in his entire life.

I went over to tell my boss this because I was getting all wigged out about how awesome this was, and when I pulled her over to whisper it in her ear (so I wouldn't embarrass the kid) she thought I was going to kiss her or something and jumped back.

Remind me never to adopt 5 7-year-old boys.

Maybe breath mints?

God bless your pugs for standing up to the man.

yeah, of course this lady who has to be almost 40 is trying to be my like Best Camp Friend who talks to me all the time. It is weirding me out.
Like, she told our boss that I wanted to teach Painting with her, and I did not want to teach painting, or hang out with her.

But anyway, those kids ended up being awesome once I got used to having to tell them every dang thing 5 times. Also, when my co-counselor and I agreed to start Laying Down the Law with this one kid who was acting up.

in 48 hours, I will have 7 9-year olds all to myself. I hope this will go well. Until then, me and like 16 other counselors will have to find something to do up here on like 3000 acres of uninhabited land.

"guys, we know it's your time off, but try to be respectful of people who are sleeping around." *pause, then we start laughing* "I mean! Be respectful of people who are sleeping! Around camp!"

first: watch Pulp Fiction.

acres of empty property and no ones greened up? What a crew.

The cougar is a stealthy creature... typically, by the time you realize you're in danger, you're already in her mouth.
