Royal Baby Not Mothra

The Royal Baby is upon us. Joyous Tidings Monkey Picklers!

No, no, there is no need to panic or scramble to collect your valuables. This is not a flood warning. It is much better news than impending natural disaster because the lovely Duchess Kate Of Cambridge, until recently known by some representatives of the press as The Princess of Pickles due to rumored cravings, hath given ye olde birth to a healthy royal baby princlet type guy.

HOORAH Royal Baby!

Thus far, no statement from The Palace has been issued as to the bounciness of the young prince, nor as to whether Purple Reign will be re-released in celebration. However, speculation about the lil’ royal guy by the wider world has been nigh unstoppable. Social media has creaked & groaned under the strain as the excitement reached fever pitch following the announcement of the Royal Birth & lead to considerable confusion around The World. Fortunately, Monkey Pickles had stationed its Chief Royal Correspondent, Monty Pickles, at the scene to relay all the key facts via the next most reliable medium available …. flying Australian bat-monkeys ( Small “b” Bruce Wane ! … There is no legal infringement here ) with bottle-rocket augmentation. What could possibly go wrong ??? Certainly, nothing that poorly advised bat-monkeys, desperate for work since The Wizard Of Oz sequels dried up, should worry about. In Japan, however, mass panic had to be quelled, after one poorly translated news broadcast reporting that the lovely Duchess Kate Of Cambridge had given birth to a monarch that would one day rule the country, led to fears that Mothra was back. Royal Baby and Mothra

Mothra is not thought to be on the list of preferred royal baby names.

Meanwhile, huge crowds, retired extras from the Japanese film industry & some birds ( although the birds may have been just a coincidence ) flocked to the capital. Sadly, however, it is believed that more confusion meant that many farmers, most sheep and the 80s indie band, Flock Of Seagulls, missed out on attending this momentous event due to the mistaken impression that the lovely Duchess Kate Of Cambridge had given birth to a rural baby. Also distinctly absent from the celebrations in London were any flocks of fish which was briefly thought to be a royal snub by Aqua-Man. Luckily a diplomatic incident was avoided as Palace staff quickly realized that this was a school night.

Nothing too crazy today! We’re just wondering how your day is.

10 Funny Words That Start With W

0
Lots of good words begin with W. Some of them you can use starting today! Others you had better keep under your hat.

1. Wizened

Wizen means to dry or shrivel up. I bet you didn’t know that. Chances are you mistakenly used it, thinking it was “wisened.” You probably thought you called your dear granddaddy a “wizened old man with a heart of gold.” But you actually just called him a shriveled up old man. Shame on you. To think, he’s been sending you those $5 bills on your birthday all these years and this is how you thank him.

2. Widget

Web designers know widgets as those fun little mini-apps that line the sidebars of websites. English schoolboys know them as something not to be toyed with. “Stop playing with your widget, or you’ll go blind!” Mammy used to say.

3. Woot

Woot signifies a cheer, unless it has a period after it. It has to be followed by an exclamation point; otherwise it seems snarky. Here’s an example: You: I just won the lottery! Your friend: Woot! OR You: Hey! I just got that promotion! Your frenemy: Woot.

4. Wedgie

To a child, a wedgie signifies horrors beyond imagination. To an adult at a pizza party, a wedgie is just one more way to enjoy Italian pie.

5. Wamus

There are some really good words that you just can’t use. Although a wamus is a legitimate word for a heavy cardigan, if you use it in real life, you might get punched in the nose. You: “Your wamus feels really warm and fuzzy.” Ker-pow.

6. WYSIWYG

Okay, I cheated. This isn’t really a word. It’s an acronym that means “what you see is what you get.” I just like it because it’s actually pronounceable. You say “wizzywig,” which is really fun to say out loud.

7. Waffle

A delicious breakfast food, but also not a great thing to do. How is that possible? “He can’t make up his mind. He keeps waffling between ordering the waffles or the eggs.”

8. Wellborn

If you are wellborn, it means that you have upper-class lineage. So, where does that leave the rest of us? “Dirtpoorborn” probably means your ancestors lived paycheck to paycheck.

9. Wing It

To wing it means to throw caution to the wind and just figure it out as you go along. It carries with it a sense of carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude that I personally embrace. I like to wing it with a side of hot sauce and celery sticks.

10. Waitron

I might have made up this word. The way I see it, I need a waitron. A waitron would be a personal robot that waits on me hand and foot at home. It would vacuum the carpet, pay the bills and clean out the fridge. If you like, I can put you on the waitron list and notify you when they become available for purchase in your part of the country.

4 Signs You’re Spending Too Much Money On Your Girlfriend

It’s a good feeling to treat your girlfriend to a new pair of designer shoes or to a getaway in an exotic locale, but this sort of pampering can easily become dangerous. Your wallet can shrivel before you know it, making overspending a habit to nip in the bud. Below are the signs you’ve overreached on your spending.

She Stops Complaining

Overindulging your girlfriend can have some unintended yet positive benefits, including that she stops complaining or ridiculing your behavior. This sign isn’t always indicative of overspending, but if this happens, something may be wrong. Be sure to review your checking account and credit cards to see if all the dinners, nights out and clothes have started to add up.

No ‘Thank You’

If you stop hearing “thank you” when you pick up the tab for dinner and a show or even when you open the door, you may be overspending. An entitlement attitude can rear its ugly head when you can’t keep your spending in check. If she expects you to pay for everything all the time without any type of gratitude, then your spending is certainly out of hand.

She’s Donating

Charity is a positive thing, but if your girlfriend is donating the new shoes, shirt or blouse you just bought her to a thrift store, then you may be spending too much. Excess can cause your girlfriend to do some strange things, so watch her charitable habits carefully.

She Brags Excessively

If your girl is constantly bragging about all of the trips, jewelry and clothes you’ve purchased, then it’s a red flag you’ve gone too far. When all of her friends and family think you are a trust fund baby and you’re not, you’ve got a problem. If your girl has got you whooped, you’re likely spending way too much money on her, to your significant detriment. Fortunately, there are specific warning signs that can help you stop the madness and regain your dignity, along with your financial well-being. In the meantime you can always visit lendingexpert.co.uk for a non-judgemental loan. It’s okay to fund your 401(k) every couple of weeks instead of your girlfriend’s shopping habits.

Our New Hardshell Pet

0

We recently acquired a new little pet

in our house. We started calling him Richard Petty, Jr.  Don’t be critical – it’s the only NASCAR name that immediately came to our minds. He was one of those flat water beetles.  You know, the kind that can squeeze themselves down to the size of a nano-atom, fit through the bricks, concrete and mortar that are absolutely impossible to penetrate, and then pop back to their original size. When I first saw him, I kinda freaked.  We were lying in bed, ready to turn the lights out when I spotted the black culprit.

Me: OMG!  There’s a cockroach on the top of the wall

Husband: It’s not a cockroach; it’s one of those water beetle thingys that come in when it’s raining. Me: If it’s a water beetle, why doesn’t it like rain? Husband:  Google that and find out. Me: Get him.  Get the bug. Husband: Get him?  He’s at the very top of the wall, near the ceiling. And so our evening went.

Upon closer look,

I realized I really didn’t have to freak out anymore, because I’m not worried about the freaky-can- change-it’s-shape water beetles.  It’s cockroaches that I can’t stand. It’s not just because the little bastards scare the crap out of me are supposed to be dirty.  It’s because they are the only living beings deemed to survive (and thrive on) a nuclear war. I slept soundly, glad it wasn’t a roach. When I woke up the next morning, my eyes went to the place in the ceiling where I last saw him.  He wasn’t there.  So I sat up and searched, and sure enough, he’d stayed the course and made his way to the next wall.  Hence his name.  He was chugging right along on his own private racetrack.  This went on for a couple days, and he always took an entire day to work his way around to the next section of wall.  We live in an old house, with very high ceilings, and even my hugely tall, 6’6” he-man husband can’t reach even half way up.

So we let Richard stay.  He seemed quite happy.

He was getting his exercise.  He never deviated from his path.  He didn’t bother us.  And he was staying warm and dry.  (Again, kind of weird for a water beetle, but hey, I won’t judge). Despite the fact that I was being lenient on allowing certain Coleoptera to co-habitat in our home, I started to wonder if this really was a water beetle, or possibly something different.  I did what any logical thinking person would do: I got on my iPhone and asked Siri. Alas, my handsome husband was wrong.  Richard Petty, Jr. was not a water beetle.  Richard Petty, Jr. was a Pentatomoidea – AKA a stink bug. I normally don’t take pride in telling my man that he is wrong, so last night in bed, as we were watching the slo-mo version of NASCAR, I casually mentioned that I looked up the origin of our new pet online.  As soon as I said stink bug, he threw back the covers and went into immediate action.

I am not sure I’ve seen him move that quickly in –

well our entire marriage. (He normally has two speeds – slow and slower).  In the amount of time it took for me to get up out of bed, he’d grabbed the ladder, a roll of paper towels and some kitchen gloves.  Before you could say “air freshener”, he’d scooped up Richard, scrambled down the ladder, ran down the stairs and deposited him on the front lawn. I kinda miss the little guy, but not enough to pray he doesn’t go around telling all his friends and relatives about the great racetrack he’d happened upon.   However – just to be safe – the ladder, the roll of paper towels and the kitchen gloves are staying in the bedroom for a bit longer.

Household Uses for Honey

Very few people have anything bad to say about honey. Even if you’re not Winnie-the-Pooh and wouldn’t be willing to spend days trapped in the entrance to your friend’s home to keep eating honey, you have to admit that honey is delicious. It can make a lot of sweet treats even better. What you may not have considered, however, is that there are many other uses for honey that are probably even more impressive than its ability to make that apple pie that you made from rotten apples somewhat edible. Read on, and you will see that there is so much more to honey than you would ever have dreamed.

Clean Up Messes!

This might not make sense at first. How can honey clean up a mess? It’s easy to imagine how you can make a mess with honey, but not how you can do the opposite. But just think about it. Imagine eating something you really hate, and not even being able to swallow it, so you end up spitting it out on the floor. You call your dog over to clean up your mess, but alas, the thing on the floor is so disgusting that even your dog doesn’t want to touch it. And that’s really saying something, because your dog licks his own butt. So here’s what you do. You pour some honey on top of that crap on the floor, and then you call your dog back over. Chances are, he’ll be so attracted to the honey that he’ll just gobble up everything that’s there, including the disgusting gunk. And that, dear friend, is how you use honey to clean up a mess.

Glue Things Together!

Have you ever been desperate to glue two objects together and found that you were out of glue? This can be too frustrating for words! When you are needing to glue a candlestick to an empty milk carton and expect to find glue to make it an easy job, it can absolutely make you want to scream when you find out that there is no glue! So what you should do is just find something sticky and use that as glue. And guess what’s sticky! That’s right, HONEY! So here’s what you do. You take that bottle of honey, and you pour it out where you would have put the glue. Then, hold the items together for a little while until it dries, and then voila! You’ve got items that are glued together! Sure, it’s messy and could attract all sorts of vermin, but you know nothing is perfect, right?

Cure Your Loneliness!

It can be really hard to see all of your friends in relationships when you are alone. No one meets your standards. You want someone who is sweet, doesn’t talk back to you, and is always there for you. Have you ever considered a bottle of honey in place of a person? It fits all of the above criteria. And you know that people call each other “honey” as a term of endearment anyway. Now you’ll have them all beat, because you actually have honey as your significant other! They just have disgusting, stinky people, you have delicious and beautiful honey. You can do all sorts of things with it too. You can watch movies with it, cuddle up with it in bed, and go out to dinner at a restaurant with it. People might shoot you strange looks when you ask for a separate chair for your honey, but who cares what they think? And as a bonus, you’ll have something that can help you sweeten your iced tea!

Lure Bears Into Your Home!

It’s a pretty well-known fact that anyone with a soul loves teddy bears. How could you not? They’re so adorable, and they’re fluffy and cuddly too! The only thing better than a teddy bear is the real thing! If you are a fan of teddy bears, wouldn’t you love to have a living, breathing bear in your home? Everyone knows that bears love honey. It’s fairly easy to lure a bear into your home using honey. All you need to do is pour a trail of honey from the woods leading into your home, leave the door open, and wait for your bear to make his appearance. Once he shows up, your pleasure might be short-lived because he might end up trying to attack you and you might end up fighting for your life, but think about how exciting it will be to have such an amazing creature in your home! It’s so amazing that it might actually be worth it to be eaten after a few minutes.

Do’s and Don’ts of Vaping

Cigarettes are so yesteryear. We don’t live in the 1500’s anymore – it’s the time of some exciting technology, not the internet, not virtual reality, but something better – vape pens. They are portable; they don’t smell like the conventional cigarettes. Although, you may catch the occasional person with weed vaporizers, which do give off a smell. They can even be fired up indoors. You can vape anywhere you want to because it isn’t smoke. Well, there are some etiquettes attached to it which we have highlighted below. For those of you who are wondering how to make that transition from a cigarette to a vape pen and how you should go about it, here are the golden rules of vaping which tell you how to make the best of it.

DO Your Own Experiments With Batteries

All those horror stories you hear about batteries blowing up in people’s faces are all about amateurs who did not know how it should be done correctly. That doesn’t have to stop a pro like you from experimenting. Choosing your own batteries instead of following manufacturer’s instructions is the trend. And you’re not in high school anymore; you don’t have to ‘follow instructions.’ You know very well what you’re doing. Go ahead and experiment with more power and big vape clouds. Once you’ve found the type of vaporizer and battery that you enjoy using the next thing to do is find a reputable online vaporizer seller, you will normally get better deals from an online retailer than you will in a store, even down to the eliquid, many offer 3 for 2 deals or even buy 1 get 1 free as they don’t have the same overheads as stores so they can offer their products at a lower price.

DON’T Be Inconsiderate Of Others

You don’t have to be selfish about it. There are so many people who are unaware of the joys of vaping. Even those who don’t vape, secretly want to. Who can say no to the pleasures of vaping? Vaping in public is a social service. And it’s not like it’s a crime. Moreover, the vaporizer or the vape pen neutralizes most of the smell. Imagine the number of people who will be happy just to get a little drag or at least the smell of the pleasurable smoke. If somebody says no, be polite, read between the lines and help them out.

DO Your Best To Educate Others

You know how excited you got when you first tried vaping, you remember what a monumental moment it was for you. Do you not want to share it with others, who don’t smoke or are still taking drags off the old cigarette? Spread the word, about the vast potential of vaping in changing your lives. Tell them about the flexibility it offers; people may feel shy at first, give them a little taste passively or offer them your vaporizer. Create a church for vaping. Worship the plumes of vapor. Quit your job and dedicate your life to spreading the word of the Vape.

DON’T Be Offended

Okay, you might have a few people looking at you during your subway ride. Or when you have are simply walking around with your vape pens. It’s all right. Most people are ignorant about the pleasures and the potential of vaping, especially with a cbd oil cartridge. Don’t be offended when someone gives you the stares. You carry on with your work without pulling away from these people. Slowly, they too will come around, and when they do, they will be thankful to you. It’s like those Nintendo Gameboys – people would eventually start loving them, even if they did not before. Come on – who doesn’t like a Gameboy?
