6646 busy bee day.
May. 8th, 2004 10:09 pmToday's been quite the hectic one for missing kids... fortunately, the majority of them have been recovered right away. (one 15 year old who got into an argument with his grandparents is still out and about, but from the description given, he's not going to be messed with, or a danger to himself or others.)
Big Kahuna was kind enough to take call from 4:30-9pm, giving me at least a little window of freedom this weekend. I celebrated by going to cheeburger cheeburger, getting a chocolate malted and a grilled portobello sammich, no fries, and enjoying a little fresh air.
The pleasure was welcome, because once I got home, I had another couple of calls smack me all at once, including 3 missing kids with a babysitter in Tombs County Georgia... those folks are sweet as pie, but the accent is *very thick* and I had trouble with the dispatcher girl's descriptions. While on the phone with her, a Hialeah call came in., so i got to multitask as best I could. Not too bad, but it was moderately stressful at the time. I don't think ADP could've handled it at all, though MA would have dealt with it well enough, I think. I plopped into the website and made a few adjustments for time constraints that I think will make working the system even more automated than it already is.
People are still asking me questions about rules regarding inmate visits from entries I made nearly four years ago (back when Suzy was put in the clink). Since that person was asking from Santa Clara, CA, I could only give a limited answer about Broward, Florida.
Disneyland photo tour from the 50s and 60s. I'm glad that the parks went to all-day passes, rather than Lettered tickets.
Hmm.. ravenblack changed the way links work in the vampire game... I'm glad my daughter managed to help me get to thievery 3 before that point!
Artist: Ron Stoppable/Rufus Lyrics
Song: The Naked Mole Rap Lyrics

Yo, listen up,
Have a howler from Ron
The Naked Mole Rap is the
Name of the song
Here's the story
In all its glory
Ain't hiding nothin'
Don't know what the truth is,
How Ron met Rufus
Never heard a cat yarn
Never heard a puppy kern
My dad's allergic to every kind of fur
So I searched for hairless pets
On the internet
Saw a a'this thing on a pet thing
Gonna need sun screen
What is that, that freaky thing?
(Yes, that's right
It's a naked mole rat)
C'mon, y'all, let the girlies sing
(Listen to the naked mole rap)
What is that, that freaky thing?
(Yes, that's right
It's a naked mole rat)
Hey, wait I can't hear the girlies sing
(Listen to the naked mole rap)
I heard Smarty Mart was
Havin' a sale
On a hairless pink rodent
With a long skinny tail
It seemed that this could be a solution
The perfect pet for my dad's
Sensitive constitution
So the manager came
To open the cage
He said,
“You know this pet's hairless?”
I said I couldn’t care less
He handed him to me he said,
“Be careful, don't drop it,
And do you want this cage?”
No I keep him in my pocket
What is that, that freaky thing?
(Yes, that's right
It's a naked mole rat)
C'mon, y'all, let the girlies sing
(Listen to the naked mole rap)
What is that, that freaky thing?
(Yes, that's right
It's a naked mole rat)
I'm gonna buy me, some bling bling (Listen to the naked mole rap)
(Rufus, the naked mole rat)
Can I get a boo-ya
Can I get a boo-ya
Look at the camera say cheese
Smile for the camera say cheese
Can I get a boo-ya
Can I get a boo-ya
Look at the camera say cheese
Smile for the camera say cheese
We've heard of Bueno Nacho
Chimerito and a naco
Always grande size it
Why not? I'm buyin'
Wit' Rufus in my pocket
You can't stop it
Can't top it, don't drop it
You might just pop it
Rufus and Ron Stoppable
Wit' our best friend, Kim Possible
We're not afraid of any attack
Yo, K.P. we've got your back
Random Scotto factoid - I thought Yanni and Raffi were the same guy for about three years. Names were just similar enough to goof my pattern recognition up. I had the same problem with Al Pacino and Robert De Nero.

Date: 2004-05-08 11:17 pm (UTC)A chunk of my family originally lived in Georgia and settled in North Carolina so they've got that accent. I'm used to it, and fall into sounding funny myself when I'm back around them. Although, their accents are rather strong, mine is not.
I dig the Yanni...shhhh. ;)

Date: 2004-05-09 06:20 am (UTC)I'd say, trick someone else into buying it, and then take a little sample, to se how you feel. Different restauants prepare it in a variety of ways.. I've not often been steered wrong, but it's happened. They cetrainly don't smell like std mushies to me.
Aww.. Little lilting southern-bee! See, I bet you could pull off that accent. A light smattering is very pretty, but a thick slather can be hard work to translate.
Hee Hee... Yanni-digger!! But do you like Raffi, I want to know?

Date: 2004-05-21 05:01 am (UTC)I think my accent sounds more Texas-y. Texas-y accents tend to not be very pretty! I've had several ask me where I'm from, because they can't quite figure out my accent. Others hear no accent at all!
I'm going to try a Portobello, because you said so. ;)

Raff is a kids singer... bananaphone is a scary mind-locking song.
