They be stealin' ma sweet potato

This has nothing to do with fandom. But it's so funny I managed to alarm both my office-mate and the people in the next office with my hysterical laughter. Read.

That post is just...amazing. No words.

What ... not funny? I do have a pretty lame sense of humor. :)

No, HILARIOUS. I couldn't stop laughing in my office.

Ha!

Would it be very bad, do you think, if I stole the basic concept (dog eats yams, barfs orange) for my novel? It fits soooooo well!

I think you should totally steal it. And use the 'sounds like someone eating a baseball bat' descriptive.

secrets_and_lie June 19 2007, 01:51:12 UTC

Oh, I can't. That *would* be stealing. That was so the writer's perfect metaphor. Esp. the moist baseball bat! Ha!

I'm a thief with ethical standards, you see. (Plus, it's for that new scene of my first novel, the one you read. So baseball bat is the wrong tone and I am therefore not even a little tempted. :) )

Oh, well, if you're going to be all ethical about it. *sniffs contemptuously*

Hey, I'm going to post that last chapter without benefit of your commentary. Probably ill-advised, but I know you're busy, and I have issues that require me to post it and get on with my life.

Likely no one will read it anyway. :)

Oh... my GOD.

TEARS. There are TEARS streaming down my face from laughing so hard. I need to go lie down and breathe for five minutes.

BEST EVER. (And having owned a couple dogs just makes it even more hilarious, because we have all been there. Oh my god.)

You win like... 80,000,000 points for linking to this.

I know! My co-workers thought I had become seriously unhinged. And not one of them (because of course I had to forward it to them) found it nearly as entertaining as I did. But I had a suspicion some of my flisters would see the humor.

I'm so glad I can count on you all to validate my opinions. :)

I think I would have laughed even harder if I hadn't remembered all the times I've pulled all sorts of things out of my own "starving" dog's mouth...pens, fruit, loaves of stale bread, diapers, and actual plastic can of peanut butter...
