Lets go play!

All RIGHT, then, Lassie...

if ye be a pirate...
and ye kenno' be depressed at the same time...

make little sails for the pill bottles... and float them off to the west indies... with or without messages **...

then load the cannon and bowl over the feral smurfs to kingdom come!  (arse over little blue tincup, as they say...)



**would the messages say "HELP, I'm being overrun and held captive by feral smurfs!" ? Would you include a map, to help find & free you?

OK... I'll admit it... this is FUN and I'm having a blast... hope you are too.

[Meh]

Yes, Phoenix, I have a big smile on my face. That's important. Allowing oneself to smile!

[Meh]

Oh god, you mean the smurfs are on my ship!! How did they get on the ship!! Oh noo. Blimy!

I could shishka bob the little demented smurfs on my sword!!! Yes!! Smurf kabobs.

I bet they taste like chicken.

Aye, Matey, We be eatin smurfs.

Of course the smurfs are the perfect size to tormentingly ride around on the skunk.

The smurfs are going to be after the gold, it's hidden in the latrine!!! Hurry, Me Hearty Smoking Pigeon, dive for the gold!!
(Nah, I wouldn't make you do that..) We will figure another way to get the treasure out of the toilet (Ship's head).

We can tie the smurfs to little strings and lower them down into the toilet and make them fish the gold coins out!!

The smurfs want me to walk the plank!!! No, I'm afraid of water... NOOOOO....ANYTHING BUT THE PLANK!!

JUST wait a minute... a smurf can not even carry a lagoon of gold.

Just what the heck is going happening on this boat?

Me be laughin so harrrd, I be blowin ME boogerrrrss. Arrgggggh..

[Meh]

The sails of the ship are gonna be made out of sewn-together tanned smurf hides. It will be the only pirate ship with blue sails.

Ohhhh. Stylish this ship is.. We are going to start a new trend in sailing... Blue sails!!! Every pirate will want a blue sail like ours.
We will be the envy of the pirate world..

What if there is a pirate's interior decorating magazine!!! Like Architectural digest for pirates!!

Yes, Amber, we better vacuum the skulls, the magazine editor is coming over to take some photos for the magazine article that will be showcasing our blue smurrrf sails! Arrrghhh!

[sKePTiKal]

a ship's HEAD...
be it full o' boogers????

and will the smurfs get trapped????? Will rubber cement solvent take that stuff off??

O flush away, flush away... and leave the shiny gold behind!

[sKePTiKal]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[Meh]

Ok, Ok, Ok. I'm not a skunk breeder, I have a few skunks only as pets.

Instead we are pirate smurf farmers. Like a puppy-mill for smurfs but with sails. Sometimes they get loose and feral and stage mutiny!

The smurfs are valuable to us because we extract their little blue boogers and distill the essence into pills!

We can sell the blue smurf booger-pills as an elixir. And we have an evil corporate empire monopoly on the blue smurf pills. WE are the only ones who can sell them. And we hunt down smurfs.

Since the smurfs hate us there are renegade smurf ships that sometimes attack us when we are not being attacked by other types of pirates.

How do we extract their boogers Amber? Do we just pick em out with our pinkys or do we have a better process?
Like if you squeeze a smurf do the boogers just come shooting out?

I bet there is an anti-cruelty to smurfs group out there somewhere. Smurf rights awareness organizations.

Maybe the smurf booger pills are so valuable that other pirates pay with gold to get some.

Now, I'm going to be thinking about how to extract smurf boogers all day. Like is there an industrial machine for this?
Or do we just make the smurfs watch a funny movie until their boogers blow out? Then we train the skunks to go get the boogers and we don't even have to get our hands dirty.

[Meh]

Amber, which one of us is going to be in charge of pickin the smurf boogers? Are we going to have to fight over this or should we just draw straws?

[lighter]

Helen.....

you're playing!

[sKePTiKal]

I say we make the smurfs responsible for the process! Give 'em a quota...
we'll just sit back and supervise... take our profits... make charitable contributions to pirate pension island resorts... put on our tiaras...

and then figure out what's next!

How about a convent for spiritually inclined pirate princesses who - in secret - raise butterflies only to release them out into the world, mystifying the people and the scientists about their proliferation and origin, dazzling them with a flood of beauty... which cures all the emotional wounds of people everywhere, and convinces science that they will reverse global warming and save the earth from evil?

So that everyone is happy and willing and able to go play together?
That would make me smile a lot, for a long time.

I'm always amazed at the people I find who are hungry for the opportunity to play - who it is, is always surprising... what an overlooked, discounted & dismissed aspect of life, you know? It's simply not appreciated enough.

Thank you for playing with me!

Arigato gozaimasu!

I'm replying to myself here:

The thing is, I think I'm too old to be making booger jokes. Oh well, maybe I will work my way out of boogers and graduate to something more adult like politics, actually I think I prefer boogers over politics. Possibly politicians need to make more booger jokes.
Now I'm picturing a Halloween costume of a politician that has boogers all over him. Ok, I'm letting that thought go...Whoosh..


Maybe now I will be more understanding towards adults who are doing childish things as long as the childish things are not neg, Nar-habits.

[sKePTiKal]

oh.... let's not put anything off limits because it seems "too juvenile"!!

kids are wiser than they get credit for, a lot of times. And c'mon... it was FUNNY!!
on a serious note... I think that's how little ones process a lot of emotions - play & humor. It IS a gift... and you're right... politicians really, really, really need to indulge in some booger jokes!

That would bring the healthcare discussions into a real emotional perspective; there wouldn't be any misunderstandings, would there? And there should be a rule... anyone who feels he's too important to laugh at booger jokes, has to get in the hold of the priate ship with ALL of the smurfs until they at least giggle and start to feel like a real human being instead of being just their title, their suit, or some talking head.

PS... somehow, I can actually SEE Obama saying "booger" with his girls... more clearly than I can how the proposed changed to healthcare are more effective than working on the source of the problem: how much healthcare costs, in the first place.

[Meh]

Anyone know what kid-age-zone is the booger and turd age. I mean at what age do kids love the words booger and turd?
Ok, I'm laughing at the embarrassing absurd stupidity of this question.

A little girl made up a poopy-poopy song for me when she was about 4 yrs old I think, But I also think kids are into booger and turd talk at an older age.

I think I may be tapping into a certain age zone, and I'm trying to define it.

[Meh]

Smoofs.
 
A smoof might be like a smurf but a different color. Like maybe purple. Maybe it has a tail like a rat.

Maybe smoofs are clones.

I wish some smoofs would do my dishes for me.
