Maybe humans could adopt that strategy as a way to keep an eternal bond during the matrimonial universe of their relationship. It certainly beats taunting each other. And no, I didn&#8217;t misspell cockroach. Know why? It&#8217;s on this authority: when I was a kid on Long Island, Noo Yawk we would abuse the use of such roaches&#8217; names by teasing each other thusly: \u201cCrybaby cockaroach nyaa nyaa na boo boo!!\u201d This of course was sung to the tune of \u201cYou Are A Stinkerbutt Nyaa Nyaa Na Boo Boo!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of the cockaroach wing munchings can really pull me out of the funk that the events of the world have slapped into my nostrils. Therefore, I will conclude this week&#8217;s silly blog thing with some very silly transcriptions of actual text messages I&#8217;ve sent to my coworkers during my tenure as a factory support computer geek boy. So without any further ado, here are the messages for your enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-acd0a9a31d3c7f1c6f2d73637bf4c7a0 wp-block-paragraph\">By applying mustard on my cat&#8217;s eyebrows, I can feel confident his festive appearance will give him great joy among his peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-961e5f18585568aabae13e7b82f7c449 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c80505\">Tonight I plan to enjoy a nice dinner of Cream of Dogfood Soup with a grilled Kibbles &#8216;n Bits sandwich.&nbsp; All this will precede a raucous 3 hour session of barking at the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-27874603e70a0bf955828249ad3bd070 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#08692f\">Not sure who the culprit is so I&#8217;m asking everyone:&nbsp; please stop substituting my mustard with the Purple Sludge.&nbsp; The fridge is starting to vibrate between 2 and 3:37 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9d0eb42b8d71e718788e2e9e723017fb wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#6a0a77\">Tomorrow&#8217;s breakfast:&nbsp; Please prepare some shrimp on the half shell with a side dish of deep fried moth tongues.&nbsp; I&#8217;ll wash it down with a nice avocado \/ eggplant smoothie; after which I&#8217;ll run for the men&#8217;s room.&nbsp; Thank you!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as a final entry for today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9ec0f14f229f138e3271ed8a2bd997d5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#d58403\"><strong>Happy Friday!!\u00a0 May your ears enjoy delicious flavors; and may your nostrils flutter softly in the breeze.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peace, Love, and Hugs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kenny<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now for the video fun stuff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Novelty Shop [Columbia\/Screen Gems, 1936]\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AP1Fy0lRKBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So there I was, minding my own business, crying inside at the state of the world what with the war and all and the climate change and more and more expensive everything and hoping we can all survive this; and &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/?p=3460\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-garbentrybe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3460"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3463,"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3460\/revisions\/3463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kakahead.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
