The girl’s grandma’s party last night was lovely. Picture everyone being made to wear a little Halloween mask and Halloween teeth as grandma walked in the house. I had to wear a cat mask with little whiskers. I asked to trade for Lone Ranger but no one would do it. I spent most of my time trying to determine the best way to explain the setting on the daily remark. I’m not doing a particularly good job but it was priceless. I just heard someone say priceless on TV.

I also learned the following this morning:

Complement (with an E) is a noun or verb that means something that completes or makes up a whole: "The red sweater is a perfect complement to the outfit." Compliment (with an I) is a noun or verb that means an expression of praise or admiration: "I received compliments about my new outfit."

That’s all.

Today is the Two-Year Anniversary of the Daily Remark. Thanks for all the anniversary presents. The following is a copy and paste of my first remark and question ever:

I bought a sweatsuit and I like it so much that I have spent most my time trying to convince the buyers here at Moosejaw that we need to carry a full line. I had no idea I could look so good in satin. I started my day today with an ice-cream sandwich. I think the cereal people must be keeping the ice-cream sandwich contingent down because I can see no better way to start the day. Please email your congressperson as soon as possible so that we can put an end to the madness. Definitely my first time writing 'congressperson.'

More importantly, please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com if you know the name of Charles Darwin's boat. Just to note, I am talking about the Charles Darwin who wrote Origin of Species and not the Charles Darwin who built the best fort ever behind the Clifford's house after the great snowstorm of 1999.

Yesterday’s answer was three and a half hours.

Have an outstanding Friday.


Love the madness.

After work yesterday I played cards for about an hour. I won. Then, I went for a trail run, picked up dinner, had some ice-cream and came home. When I got home the little stack of bills I had won playing cards was gone. Nowhere in the house, the car, all pockets checked, etc. I was sick. I was certain it was stolen but how could it have possibly been stolen. I was determined to find it. I retraced my steps called everywhere possible and no luck. To make a long story shorter, I remembered that when I got ice-cream I had thrown a bunch of crap from my car away. So, I drove back to the ice cream shop, lifted the top off the garbage, sifted through the mess and, guess what…..the cash was there. I voted myself the dumbest, smartest, luckiest and the person with the most garbage all over his hands.

According to the girl’s sister how long did her baby cry on the four hour plane ride from Phoenix to Detroit yesterday? Four hours, three and a half hours, one hour or the baby was perfect the entire flight. Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com.

Have the best Thursday of your life.

Here’s a nice play for today:

Fade into dinner on the couch while watching TV….

The Girl: There’s an Urban Outfitters coming to the mall.
Me: That’s nice.
The Girl: Are you worried?
Me: No, why?
The Girl: Because I like it there.
Me: You should pretend you hate it there.
The Girl: That’s dumb.


I went for my first trail run in ages yesterday. I saw a rabbit and got scared. I’m never leaving the house again.

I had my first Blue Moon beer last night. Very good.

I got an ice cream cone after dinner last night at some random place. Here’s a play about what happened.

Fade into me at the ice cream place:

Me:Can I get vanilla in a sugar cone.
Ice cream lady: Here you go. It’s a little soft so eat it fast.
Me: And, you just put your hand in the ice cream.
Ice cream lady: I have to get some change.

Fade out as I grab my ice cream cone that has a nice hand print in it.


Please note, the next time someone at Moosejaw tells me they don’t like the way his or her pack fits I’m saying I need to go to the bank. I feel like I’ve missed out on an entirely new way to communicate my whole life.

I’m not sure if this story will make sense and I’m sure Speedo will think its boring so if you’re busy just skip right to the question…..

I ordered a medium vanilla cone at Dairy Queen after dinner last night. The DQ fellow made a large by accident and asked me if I wanted it. Of course, I took the large and decided it was too much so at the first light I took some bites off the cone and spit it out the window. Then at the second light I decided it was still too much ice cream so I started spitting more DQ out the window. Then, while stopped at the second light the person driving behind me got out of his car and started walking toward our car. I thought he was going to be some sort of Save the Dairy Queen fellow or the neighbor who hates me and kill me but it turns out that he thought I was throwing up white stuff at two consecutive lights and he wanted to make sure I was okay. Everyone hates me. That’s all.

The following won’t make sense unless you read yesterday’s remark so I am including yesterday’s remark and today’s. Please enjoy……..

Sunday copy:

At 5:30 this morning we got a knock on the door. Some fellow was outside our front door telling me that our sprinkler was broken and was sprouting water. Even though I wanted to open the door and go crazy for waking us up to give us this information I was positive that he was a lunatic so I just said thanks and he went away. The moral of the story, of course, is to always wear a sleeveless tee shirt in the morning so anyone telling you about your broken sprinkler at 5:30 gets scared of the muscles and runs away.

Monday:

So, at about 4 yesterday we got a knock on the door and, of course, the fellow who woke us up at 5:30am was there. So, I opened the door, told the fellow to get off the porch, called him a lunatic and proceeded to berate him for knocking on our door at 5:30am. He had come over to apologize and I wasn’t very nice. Then he left. Ten minutes later I felt terrible about getting so mad. Our next door neighbor happened to be outside so I told her the story, she knew who the person was, I got his number and told him I felt bad about not being neighborly. I didn’t say sorry and I felt much better about the world.

I just re-read that story and now realize it’s pretty boring. That I am sorry about.

At 5:30 this morning we got a knock on the door at home. Some fellow was outside our front door telling me that our sprinkler was broken and was sprouting water. Even though I wanted to open the door and go crazy for waking us up to give us this information I was positive that he was a lunatic so I kept the door shut, said thanks and he went away. The moral of the story, of course, is to always wear a sleeveless tee shirt in the morning so anyone telling you about your broken sprinkler at 5:30am gets scared of the muscles and runs away.

I received the following email this past Monday…..

I shared a moosejaw moment yesterday when traveling back from Fort Myers, FL airport. I had on a zip hoodie and another group had hats. They recognized the logo and shouted across the terminal! We cheered and went on our way. Had to share, in case the other person shares too!
-Katie

The person in the hat was me. I had to describe my entire outfit before Katie believed the person she saw was me. Anyway, I’m on another quick trip today so if you see anyone in a blue Moosejaw hat please assume it’s me and yell either “I want to french kiss you” or “go Moosejaw.” If for some reason this really turns into something I’ll definitely send you a free Moosejaw hoody. I hope this makes a little bit of sense.

We had dinner at the girl’s sister’s last night. After dinner the girl and her sister spent at least twenty minutes discussing whether it’s normal or not to include mushrooms in a salad. “Mushrooms aren’t in a cob salad, they’re not in a Greek salad, not in a tuna salad, not in a chef’s salad, not in a julienne salad, etc.” They went on for ages and I couldn’t have enjoyed listening to it any more. They did conclude that mushrooms are in a spinach salad. How lovely.

I make so many errors in the Remark everyday that I have to copy four people on my email and make the following note – “All editors are always welcome. Please email Tech directly.” Tech is the person who actually puts the remark on the site and emails it to you. His real name is Tech. Who cares?

I can’t stay up until 11:30 anymore so I’m now DVR’ing the Daily Show and waking up a half hour earlier in the morning than usual to watch it. So, I think I’m going to sleep at 11 instead of 11:30 and waking up at 5:30 instead of 6. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Can you say DVR’ing instead of Tivo’ing? Please don’t answer that.

Tech – sorry about that who cares thing.

The girl – sorry I sprayed so much Clorox with bleach on the counter tops that your eyes stung when you walked in the kitchen.

Sister – still sorry about that Red Hots thing.

Have you used the highlighter option in Outlook? Please don’t answer that. I was not a big highlighter when I had to read books in high school or college – what’s the point? When I have a kid I’ll recommend to never double check your work. You either know it or you don’t. I feel the same way about relationships. If you even have a mini-break up she doesn’t like you enough so just let it go. Also, I don’t believe in a relationship unless the girl has total control – it’s not natural. Back to the highlighter – I just found it and I cannot stop using it. Also, at the wedding I was at this past weekend there was a fellow who looked exactly like Richard Dreyfus. I watched him and talked about him the entire time. I couldn’t stop. ssb

Do you know that 99% of the world’s blinds don’t work? Either the blinds don’t go up and down properly or the blinds don’t turn properly. I am trying to start an association to deal with this issue. If you’re interested in finding out more please go to www.rockettyroo47.gov. I made all that up but the part about most blinds not working has got to be true and we really shouldn’t accept it anymore.

I’m still wearing my watch that has not worked in at least three months. I doubt I’ll ever get it fixed which means that deep down I think I want to be decked in jewels. So, I am currently looking for a medallion, bracelet, pin, locket and broach.

I did end up getting my haircut. The lady who sits next to me said it looks like I’m wearing a wig. A nice wig though.

So, I didn’t get my hair cut yesterday and I’m extremely confused whether or not to get my hair cut today or not. There is a good chance this is the girl’s first step toward breaking up with me. It is only a matter of time anyway.

When the following happened I thought it would end up being the best remark ever. It isn’t but it’s worth telling anyway…..

Last night, the girl’s entire family had dinner at the girl’s parent’s house. I was being helpful in the kitchen after dinner so that I didn’t have to talk. I went to take the garbage out and as I was on the way to the garage the handle of the garbage bag came loose, the garbage fell out of my hands and the garbage bag rolled down the stairs to the basement spilling garbage along the way. I yelled ‘No!!’ as if I was watching someone kidnap my mom or something like that. I cleaned everything up and got the garbage out and, aside from the girl, no one in the family knew about incident until now.

Phew.

Some updates from my Sunday with the girl’s family…

The girl and the uncle beat me and the cousin in the first annual tennis match on Sunday. I was not good. I am so bad that I am just as good lefty as I am righty. It was only my sixth time playing in my life. I will be great by next week’s rematch should the cousin and uncle feel like flying back to Michigan to play.

I was very good with the babies. I kept calling them all Sidney Moncrief. I told a few parents their kid looked exactly like Fabio.

I gave two kids ice cream sandwiches before lunch.

I played football with a bunch of seven year olds. They were terrible.

Another family dinner tonight.

October 2, 2005

Great game yesterday.

The girl’s entire family is in from out of town this weekend.

Some highlights….a little kid walked into the girl’s parent’s living room and started punching me and then she started crying. It made for a very comfortable start.

Last night at dinner a lady said something like the following to me “You put so much gel in your hair.” I happened to have had nothing in my hair but it was soaking wet. I told her she was wearing too much make up. Really I didn’t.

An aunt asked me what I was doing when she saw me on my blackberry after dinner. I told her I was checking scores. I don’t think my answer went over well. If everyone had been checking scores on their blackberry I would have had nothing to worry about.

I am playing tennis with the girl and some cousins today. I have only played about five times in my life but I guaranteed a win. More to come tomorrow. I’m sure you can’t wait.

The best news of all…because I have seventeen events throughout the day and won’t be around, today is an auto-reply Sunday.

According to my people what’s the most popular breed of cat in the US? I’m not sure if this means most popular as in what kind of cat most people own or what kind of cat wins prom queen but I’m going with the question anyway. If you want the answer or want to see the auto-reply please email me at Trapper@moosejaw.com

Love the madness.

Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: What are they saying?
Dr. Conrad: They are just saying 'murmur, murmur, murmur.'
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: You mean it's just sort of a general murmur?
Dr. Conrad: Yeah. Murmur.
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: Oh.
[To the crowd]
Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: You may *murmur* all you like.
Crowd: [distinctly] Murmur, murmur, murmur, murmur, murmur.

Yesterday’s answer was Massachusetts.

Michigan-Michigan State today. I’m not going to the game. Go Blue!

Have the best Saturday of your life.

Love the madness.
