I found this fat, furry guy sitting in our yard this evening. As long as he’s getting fat on our grass (& very plentiful dandelions) and not on our squash and zucchini plants, he’s welcome to stay.
On another note, Shortstat says my blog has now had visitors from each of the following non-US locales:
Canada
China
Colombia
Costa Rica
European Union
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Italy
Japan
Morocco
Netherlands
Philippines
United Arab Emirates
I think this is fantastic. I’m glad you all stopped in! Please come back and visit.

Deer Sir,
If Tim’s mom is getting fats grazing on the grasses of you, is she ok to remain with by your field?
Geurg-
I hail of the lower Kischuk republik. Such are my favoriz blogs in Inglesh.
Tristan,
Congratulations on the baby you’re expecting. I seem to have missed the due date though. Now, I’m a little confused, is the fat rabbit (aka Brock’s mom) on your lawn, is that the “baby” you’re expecting? Or, is the “rabbit” just an icon the new found fertility at home?
Also, I read your May 6 blog on gas valves. My eBay search for a new valve for my gas doesn’t return any worthwhile results. Are we talking about the same kind of gas?
Well, congrats again on the baby! Um, you may want to feed the baby more than just dandelions. The dandelion diet may be contributing to your burned out gas valve.
Down with the Dandelions! Alas those pernicious buds of Hades have plagued our lawns long enough! Perhaps those from the Kischuk republic have a soft spot for these perennial eyesores marring the pristine verdant lawns of America and if so they can have them! I will not stand for this surreptious assault upon all things truly American! Apple pie, baseball, the red, white and blue, the fourth of July, an irratating sense of superiority, all of these American trademarks have one thing in common, their complete absence of any connection to Dandelions! I say let the rabbit, and Brock’s mom eat their fill that they might become fat(er) and assist in the war on herbological weapons.
I’m so offended that you didn’t tell me the other night on the phone that you’re expecting a baby. Shame on you T-Mase. SHAME ON YOU,….YOU DRYER FIXING….SONG LEADING……TENNIS BALL BASHING…STUD YOU.
JB/Geurg: Spelling is actually fairly similar to your normal comments?? Heh heh… Mom of Tim fat-getting on field es OK but sinkhole swalow heer becus of much heavy?
Ben: My gas valve is burned out. I think it was the sour cream I had on my tacos. The connection with my dryer, of course, is that I have installed a special gas valve to recover the “production” that is normally wasted into thin air (literally) and use it to power my dryer. This has been both a cost-saving and marriage-saving device. I think there is also potential for development of flatulogical weapons to counter Dr. D’s herbological ones.
Ti…er, Dr. D:
I am surprised that a White Christmas did not make your list of all things truly American. Surely you, of all people, have not forsaken this value.
N-J: Are you officially Jared’s antithesis? If you met, would the world be utterly destroyed by the mutual obliteration of two forces of equal and opposite massive magnitude? Cuz that would stink… O PONTIFF, MY PONTIFF.
Yes, just like matter, and anti matter. You trekie you.
I was watching those fury fellows out in our lawn the other day…I was delighted to observe them eating one dandilion after another. Although they do like the leaves this guy was taking down those annoying stems that pop up after you mow the lawn, and eating the seed head as well. I only hope that the seeds are destroyed in the digestion process otherwise we have a dandelion seed wraped up in a little bit of fertilizer just waiting to be planted elsewhere in my lawn.
tristan WAS good at preparing a TIMELY and ENTERTAINING blog… sad. ):

just in case you are wondering, what aaron is saying is that he is not down with your tardiness or unexcused absenses. The rent is over due. you will need a note from your mom or a doctor’s excuse, otherwise the fat lady will sing like a donkey eatin’ a waffle. pardon my mixed metaphors, but sometimes there is one way to pay the pipper. I know my point is clear like flin.

Sorry guys! We don’t have reliable internet access at the moment. Plus, I spend all day every day either working or fixing things. I know, I know, poor excuses… But if you want me to be done with all this house junk faster, you could always come out here and help. Heh heh
“Congratulations on the baby you’re expecting.”
huh?
Don’t worry, BD. It’s all viscious lies and baseless rumors. But I hear Aaron is expecting, aren’t you Aaron? -T
