Funny stuff
So a local organization is giving away free saplings between Earth Day and Arbor Day. A very nice program. After I saw a promo for it on the news last night I somehow channeled that old move Nell and burst out, "Fwee twees, Mistah Chickapee!" I ended up laughing so hard my eyes teared up. I have no idea why it struck me that funny, or what made me think of that goofy old movie, but my brain is a strange, strange thing. ;)
Last night Fergie was convinced there was something tasty stuck up in the back-right corner of the tank, because she hung there for over a half hour, wiggling and slurping loudly, trying to get at whatever bit of food she thought was up there. Which added to my gigglefit.
And now, courtesy of The Onion, it's a World of Warcraft-style love letter, which also made me howl with laughter:

Come on, honey, why do you have to be like that? You know that you're my Elven princess. My one and only. I would dare say that there is no one in all the realm who doesn't know of our love. I have sung your praises from the mouth of the Shadowthread Cave to the Stranglethorn Vale of the Eastern Kingdoms. I've introduced you to my comrades-in-arms in the Ulster guild, and they all accept you as kin.
And now you want to dissolve the greatest love ever to brighten my basement?
When we met, I was looking for a group fit to take the Zul'Gurub instance. But as I stocked up on provisions at the convenience store before my quest, and our eyes locked, I realized that I was not looking for a group, I was looking for love, and I found it in you. You are the sun, the moon, the Cinderhide Armsplints of the Monkey. There is so much we have to offer one another. Unfailing loyalty, a Strength of 250, someone who can go out for snacks in the heat of battle. Can't you see we're made for each other?
Darling, no orc can keep me from you. I would make my way into the heart of Moonglade and fight an army of trolls just to be by your side. I would go up against Varimathras, the ruler of the Undead himself, if he so much as hinted that he was a danger to you. Make no mistake, I would get aggro on anyone who would threaten you.
This is, of course, provided the system is not down due to a faulty patch.
Don't you see that I did it all for you? My love for you exceeds Level 60, higher than anyone thought possible in this fantastic computer universe. My spirit soars when you are near. You restore my mana with a kiss. I even named my epic mount after you. Her name is Helen, and her hair shimmers in the sunlight, and together we ride forward into destiny.
I would climb the highest peak of Mount Hyjal to toil for 100 days and 100 nights in the mines in order to extract the precious ore so that I may fashion you a necklace of the finest thorium. My warrior, Hammuster, devoted his game's life to the professions of mining and smithing just so that I might accomplish that very thing. All you need do is join me in the WoW and hold the necklace up to the virtual sun. Then you may see the efforts I have expended to create this thing of beauty for you. The dishes can wait until tomorrow.
Helen, my mage, when I was ganked by a lowly rogue from Tennessee in the Caverns of Time and stripped of my treasured belongings, I rose from the grave with one purpose in mind. I had to be resurrected, not to seek revenge, but to return to you.
There is no other way to put it: You take my breath bar away.
Why do we need to go out to have fun? Everything we could possibly want is right in WoW. Fine dining, theater, romantic sunsets-they're all there. The outside world just costs money, and I don't have a magic breastplate to protect me from people's stares. Come with me so I can treat you like the princess you are.
Please, baby, if you leave, you will increase by 32 percent the chance of doing direct damage to my heart. Please reconsider.
On a completely unrelated note, I updated the guest gallery at my Disney duck comic website, over yonder, with some new art by other fans. One of these days I have to update more stuff on my site, but I just don't feel inspired like I used to. *shrug*
