Morning notes

[hummingwolf]

This is how my brain works: Last night in chat, DC mentioned something about Pork Riblets. After asking if "Riblets" was a brand name, I babbled on about the word making me think of ribs and ribbits (frog sounds) at the same time, which got me trying to remember if frogs have ribs (forgive me, this was late at night and my memory was halfway to sleep). So after trying to remember something about the 10th-grade frog dissection other than the fact that our group's frog's brains were insufficiently scrambled and it kept trying to crawl out of the bag it was stored in, I grabbed the Franco to Goethals volume of the encyclopedia off the shelf and found myself looking at drawings of froggie vertebrae until I spied the label for the frog's Achilles tendon, which set me off thinking about what an amphibian Trojan war would be like. What ruse would Greek frogs use to get inside the city? Frogs tend not to ride horses into battle, you know. DC was a bit nonplussed when I told him he had to come up with an answer before I could go to bed or I'd be lying awake all night wondering about different wooden devices to be hidden in. Finally he came up with wooden lilypads (too flat), wooden flies, and wooden toadstools. Anybody else have other ideas?

In other news: Walked over three miles two days in a row. Amazingly still feeling capable of walking this morning, in spite of getting too little sleep. Hooray!

:-( It had such a sad ending. I was actually rooting for the couple.

Would the the little mousepoles have led an amphibious life?

Hmmm... it's hard to say how these odd hybrids might turn out. As a half-hummingbird half-wolf creature, let me just say that a mixed species life isn't always easy.

Still lookin' for a pack to help hunt down the nectar? :-)

I think I can relate.
