Stolen from CheeseMistress.
I'm not sure how I feel about being described as slimy, though. I shower... almost on a daily basis, even.
On to other things... Joe, I have discovered, isn't a big fan of sleep. I was kind of hoping this was merely a phase, but every morning the man wakes me up at the butt crack of dawn with his little trumpet a playing Revele. And no, "little trumpet" isn't a euphemism for anything, get your minds out of the gutter people. Oh, so that was just me then, huh?
Anyway... here is yet another picture of Joe: (It's a dupe, I know...)
Joe saluting the sunrise, and seeing as it was a beautiful one, who can really blame him?
After a hearty breakfast of SOS, he decided it was time to scope out the situation. He started to patrol around some dense foliage in the jungle of the living room.
After ascertaining that there was no danger from the ground, he got to higher ground, where he ran into some trouble with a rabid poisonous attack conch. He took the enemy on and in a matter of seconds, the conch was subdued. (It’s a good thing he has better aim than his cartoon name sake… those cartoon guys on TV couldn’t hit the broad side of a large covered bridge – I blame it on the censorship of cartoons… bastards ruined Bugs Bunny… oh, sorry, tangent, huh?) Anyway, GO JOE!!!
After all the excitement, yours truly decides that she needs to take a rest from the weary work of documenting one of America's finest. As I rest, Joe continues his patrol, making sure that I am safe while I sleep. Thank you, Joe!

I'm not sure how to take that, Lucy. Ok, yes, I was a big time tom-boy. And yes, my mother tried to squash that out of me...
Posted by: Ethne at May 5, 2005 08:32 PMWant to know something sick? Whereas all my little toy soldiers were usually lined up in neat regiments, waiting to ambush the stuffed toys, it was my dolls who got their hair cut, dragged through the mud, left out all night, and dressed in ragged clothes hastily cut from my grandmother's scrap bag.
It may explain a lot about me today. :)
