Youthful Exuberance vs. the Alpha Dog vs. Old Age & Treachery

Old Age & Treachery wins again!

Cross-Post: The Event, Part 2

Lulu: “Dada’s write-up about his aneurysm continues over on his other blog this week!”
Charlee: “I don’t know why he even has another blog. Why does he need one when he has ours?”
Chaplin: “I think it’s so he can use bad language over there when he wants to. Sort of like HBO.”

I remember a little more from Friday, the day after my aneurysm ruptured. Not a lot more, but a little. I woke up in the hospital with no real idea exactly where I was, how I had gotten there, or how long I would be staying.

Cross-Post: The Event, Part 1

Lulu: “Our Dada is starting a series of posts over on his author blog about what happened to him back in November.”
Charlee: “This will explain why our blogs went on hiatus for a couple of months and, more importantly, why I went a couple of weeks without getting my lap time in his office.”
Lulu: “This is how it starts:”

Chaplin: “It’s not the usual stuff, but we thought it might be helpful to anyone who experiences the same sort of symptoms Dada did.”

Chaplin: “So what is a rutabaga, exactly? And why did you ask to be turned into one?”
Rutabaga: “A rutabaga is a root vegetable similar to a turnip. And I didn’t smurf to be smurfed into one!”
Spicoli: “Okay what about Cheetos? Do you know what Cheetos are?”
Troll Wizard: “They’re large predatory cats that run really fast. Would you like a lifetime supply of them?”
Spicoli: “Those are cheetAHs and that’s a hard pass, dude.”
Lulu: “So you’ve been hanging around nearby ever since we landed, I’m guessing?”
Troll Wizard: “Yes, that is correct.”

Producer Smurf: “All right, I am smurfing this tour to an early stop and we are smurfing back home before it goes any more smurfways than it already did.”
Lulu: “Well, if you really want to cancel the tour that’s fine. But I’ll need a refund on my fare.”
Producer Smurf: “No refunds!”
Ragnar: “På tide å finne en annen motetilstand.”*

* “Time to find another fashion emergency to resolve.”
