I was watching this kid the other day and she was cute, but a dummy. She was all excited about the two-dollar-ride-around-in-a-circle thingy. Merry-go-round is over-selling it. It was a Wiggles brand shopping centre ride and if you were two-years-old, you got in a little vehicle and circled at knee height, at walking pace, in a three foot radius. Happy as a clam, this idiot was. Clapping her hands, big smile, bashing the steering wheel like me in Saturday morning traffic. Then she got out and sat in an even more comfortable stroller, that moved at exactly the same height and speed except unrestricted by a central pivot… and went all morose.
If someone offered to push me around in a padded seat to get the shopping done, I certainly wouldn’t want to jeopardise the arrangement by getting all excited by an inferior mode of transport. No thanks. Good as gold here, with my little sunshade and rain cover. Push on, Macduff.
I really enjoy your sence (or perhaps sense, me poor speller but good into grammar) of humour/perception, so I decided to go back to 2008 and read 'em all. Excuse my French spelling but your blog has become my Raison Dare, which loosely translates as either "Currant Challenge" or "Reason for living". I've created a few bits of proof your not mumbling into the void. My first piece of evidence (exhibit A) is on " Reifenstahl Takes Over NCIS". At the moment I'm up to Sept '08 and gaining. I hope you can't write faster than I can read or I'll never be up to date.
