Geordie badgers
Jan. 13th, 2016 04:19 pmLate last night, I was in the bathroom helping Kit wash their hair.
(Short lull in conversation)
Me: I think if I was doing the voice of a badger, I'd make him a Geordie.
Kit: What?
Me: Because they look like they're playing in Newcastle strip. So, I'd do a Geordie badger voice.
Kit: Where?
Me: On their fur.
Kit: No, where is the badger?
Me: ...I don't know, just any badger.
Kit: I thought you were maybe playing the part of a badger in something and you were working out how to do the voice.
Me: Oh no no, it was just... if anyone DOES ask me to do the voice for a badger, any time in the future, I'll have one ready.
Kit: Okay...
Me: It was just something I was thinking, that's all... I mean, maybe the trouble badgers have is that people hunting them can find them easily because their faces are so distinctive, and what we need is camo badgers, like people could go around and give badgers facepaint, so... what were we talking about? Sorry.
I mention this to illustrate the problem of me being tired and not having taken meds for a few hours. :)

Fighting over the scraps
Jan. 13th, 2016 05:30 pm
If you're eating in the park, and some pigeons come up hoping for a share, tear off a scrap and throw it. They'll rush off and fight over it. You can eat the rest in peace.
It works for people, too. Tell them money's scarce, and they'll fight their neighbour for the scraps.
