No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition! Nicely done.

Thank you.

And I just HAD to.

No matter how cosmic, shag carpet is always a dangerous thing to have.

[mac_arthur_park]

My grandpa owned a van when I was a kid that had been an ambulance in its previous incarnation. He covered the ENTIRE interior in steel grey shag carpet, and painted it sky blue with a rainbow stripe down the sides (don't ever ask your 5 and 6-year-old granddaughters for advice on paint jobs. Especially in the 70s).

Come to think about it, that may be where the shag carpet came from. Hmmm.

That van sounds incredible!

And I really enjoyed your entry :)

Thank you!

Shag carpet is always something to take extreme thinking to :/

[mac_arthur_park]

Oh, yeah. My relationship with shag carpeting is long and troublesome, but I'm fairly certain it has not business around deep fryers. ;)

Eeek! Shag carpeting in a food truck! NOOOO!!!

I was listening to the soundtrack of the Muppet Movie the other day since it is on YouTube!

Also, my little chihuahua/terrier is wearing one of those doggie shirts/outfits that looks like Animal! It even has a little pink mohawk on it.

He's had it on for a long time. I thought he'd get hot and want it off, but he hasn't wanted it off.

Haha, lots of fun references!

Thank you! It was fun to write, especially after some of the less fun stuff I've written this season.
