The Memes will come out tomorrow

By Holly the Assistant

As you can probably infer, there will be no meme post today: Sarah has gone with family and friends to celebrate having triumphed over her enemies (mainly pneumonia, bronchitis, high altitude, city sewer backups, and stress, but not excluding a leaking washing machine hose and an oven) for another year of life.

Wish the party well, please, and if you must food fight with cake in the comments, I expect YOU to clean it up. Especially the fan housing! And please don’t allow the kitties any sugar: they’re quite hyper enough, thank you!

      1. Why? When this puppy goes on a sugar high, I just curl up and take a long deep nap … Now, I mean. Back when naps weren’t an option? Oh, dear, my. Never mind. Hide the cake from the dragon.

    1. The Reader believes that there is no prohibition on giving Fluffy sugar. Whether you survive the experience is another question. The Reader will watch from a safe distance (measured in miles).

        1. The aardvark is rumored to have a dimensional shifting device. He drops off the sugar for Fluffy and instantly goes elsewhere.

          1. Now you’ve done it.

            The dimensional shifting device is for shifting in the BBQ ingredients. And just for that, the aardvark is going to keep shifting you in until you watch him deliver bonbons and sit down by the BBQ fire to enjoy it.

    2. The Reader wishes you a happy birthday, Sarah. He wishes you well to continue to feed his habit for many years.

    1. Your post was -not- showing when I made my post.

      I have been using this gag for about 50 years. It’s something of a family tradition. I have only once seen it used outside my family. In 50 years.

    1. She actually said “food fight with the cake”.

      A worthier opponent I cannot conceive.

      Oh, and btw, happy birthday Sarah!

  1. Happy Birthday, Sarah! We put the fan housing disassembly tools in a kitty proof container, though Indy was rubbing his paws together when he saw that.

    1. Worse, two of Indy’s younger siblings, the Wolf and Quicksilver (Yes, Pam, these names ARE your fault/credit/something, their human is a fan) live at our house, and the Wolf will definitely be assisting/interfering with disassembly tools. The Wolf also looks over my shoulder when I’m working on the computer: blog posts, moderation, discord, and X . . . I’m afraid he may be literate . . . Celia did you teach him to read?

  4. Conversation as the senior Huns and Hoydens watch Sarah and family leave for the Birthday Bash:

    ”No meme?”

    ”No meme.”

    ”No meme today. Meme tomorrow.”

    ”???”

    ”What? There’s always a meme tomorrow! Look, somebody’s got to have some damn perspective around here! Meme! Sooner or later, MEME!”

    (Stolen with absolutely no apologies to the writers and actors of ‘Babylon 5’)

    Happy birthday Sarah!

    In lieu of memes, please allow me to direct your attention to an archived discussion between MIT alumni concerning the difficulties of extracting domestic canines from within an elk carcass. Have a drink of water in another room and then come and have a seat. Ready? Begin:

  7. Many happy returns of the day!

    The blue mice and pink elephants promised to behave. Then they noticed the aardvark has tricked them into the magical promise-enforcing circle, so they will.
