OH GOD! THE TEETH! THE TEETH!

Dear Shvad,

I have left to search for a life of my own, with out your confining rules and such. I'll never prosper and flourish if left in your grasp. Feel free to claim the left and right hemispheres of my brain should they ever show up. And I leave you my scrap metal collection I kept under the floor boards for midnight snacks. And now, I will go venture across the street and into the unknown! Who knows, I may never come back.

-Vlad

P.S If you hear any screaming, please rescue me from the neighbour's chihuahua.

P.P.S I took the toaster for food on the road.

V: Must. Feed. Must Feed. Must Feed.

S: AHA! you've been feeding the old folks down at the Senior's center through PayPal! I'm proud of you!

V: OH NOES! the neighbours trampled on my petunias!

S: *raises eyebrow*, you're spying on our neighbors? You're keeping an eye on our... petunias, which we don't have?

V: gotta buy a new hose, gotta buy a new fence, ARGH! Stupid neighbours! gotta buy a new dog to kill the neighbors i mean.... *turns to look at Shvad* you did NOT hear that *smiles*

S: Vlad, what are you plotting?

V: nothing! it's just this game... that is so! damn! addicting!

"happiness in a toilet bowl"

First of all, let me start by saying that I, Shloob, did NOT disappear off the face of the Earth by flushing myself down the toilet. It's quite pathetic actually; I lost the password to my blogger account, so er.. yeah, couldn't update. But you must know that I was there with Voobl when she wrote the past two entries. So.... to celebrate my coming-back (WOO! PARTY IN DA HOUSE!), here's another Shvad and Vlad story, with well-deserved toilet humor.

*S is cleaning the toilet bowl and scrubbing the sides fervently*

V: Wow... you're looking flushed.

S: *glares* haha, very funny. I'm only cleaning this mess because nobody else will!

V: I don't know how to clean a toilet bowl, so you have to do it.

S: It's not hard! All you have to do is scrub! Until! The! Dirt! Is! Gone!

V: Nope, too difficult.

S: Want me to show you? It's easy

V: Uh, YOU'RE not a professional toilet cleaner! The Art of toilet cleaning requires a lot of skills, dedication, and patience! Only the greats like Molly Maid and my mother can master it!

S: You sir, are a idiot.

V: ...anyway, I'm gonna go lie on my bed and stare at the patterns in my ceiling now! Bye! *runs away so Shvad won't make her clean the toilet instead*

S: You buttwipe! Come back here!

V: Erm... What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, that's right. NO.

S: Who goes to the bathroom more? Me? Or you? *glares*

V: I have digestion issues! The metal never digests properly, so I always end up being gassy after dinner! *mumbles: and breakfast... and lunch... and brunch...*

S: Well what do you have teeth for? Jeez... *Really red in the face*

V: *pauses* Well! I'm pooped! All this talking's worked up an appetite! I think I'll go eat something now! *runs away*

S: *yells after her* You've got toilet paper stuck to your shoes!

V: huh? *looks down and trips*

S: ahaha

Vlad, Taxidermist*?

*Taxidermy for those who don't know is basically the act of skinning and stuffing a dead animal. (those animals on display in museums are usually taxidermy)

*Shvad's typing away at a computer*

S: Vlad! What did you do with the computer?! it doesn't work and it's like, 10 pounds lighter! ... Did you eat it!? you sick, SICK person!
V: I did not! I stuffed it! *proud*
S: why the hell did you do that? and where are all the chips and stuff?
V: Taxidermy's an art form you know! ... and i sortamayhavekindaatetheinsides
S: Do you even know what taxidermy is?!
V: DUH, it's the act of stuffing animals!
S: ... A COMPUTER IS NOT AN ANIMAL.
V: Yes it is! it's one one mother nature's favourite creatures!
S: mother nature did not create the computer. some random dieticians did so people like us can get enough iron !
V: but.. but.. but... YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME!

*Vlad runs away*

S: Sure.. go sit in a corner and cut your self, just make sure you don't eat the blade first *rolls eyes*

*munching sounds coming from the corner*

V: woopsie.. *blush*
S: Idiot.
V: But.. look at the work I did on the fridge! Genius, no?

*leads shvad to a taxidermied fridge*

S: YOU IDIOT. NOW WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT OUT CREAM CHEESE AND ORANGE JUICE? not to mention my tomatoes! my precious, precious tomatoes
V: but.. but.. but.. we have a year's supply of metal! *picks up some wires with a fork and proceeds to eat it, fork and all*
S: ... stop eating our utensils! and.. I. LIKE. MY. TOMATOES. *goes insane*
V: *shrugs* whatever... *continues to eat various pieces of fridge innards*

water water water

*vlad sees shvad watering the lawn*

vlad: STOP! IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE! PUT DOWN THAT HOSE!
shvad: vat are you talking about? Did you take your medication today?
vlad: didn't you hear about the new law? Since we live on 1 Stupid Ave, we're only allowed to water on even days!
shvad: ...*raises index finger* first of all, 1 is an ODD number, and secondly, we live on TWO Stupid Ave, Martha Stewart lives on 1 Stupid Ave. Third of all, you are not the police, and this is YOUR house! Do you WANT to get sent to jail? And where'd you hear about that anyway?
vlad: *shrugs* Newspaper
shvad: YOU CAN READ?! GOLLY MISS MOLLY!
vlad: uh...in case you've forgotten, Stupid Ave gets newspapers in audio form. *thumbs up* And of course I can read! Your hose says "most reliable hose in the world!"**
shvad: *rolls eyes* ..mhm. * continues to water lawn* Go do something...productive. Like, clipping your toenails ...they're getting pretty long.
vlad: ....but they're only five inches long! Yours are like...six!
shvad: I applied for a toe-clipping permit last year, it should arrive ANY day now.... *mutters about the slowness of those goddamn permit people*
vlad: well IIII plan on growing them! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! MY TOENAILS LOVE ME!

*runs away*


shvad: k.... just... pretend that didn't happen. *continues watering lawn*

*police shows up!*

vlad: STOP! IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE! AND ALL THAT IS GOOD AND TASTY! PUT DOWN THAT HOSE!
shvad: *without turning around* we had this discussion FIVE MINUTES AGO! vlad, go do something --- *turns around* whaaa? You got accepted? into the police force? and i STILL don't have my toe-nail permit?! what has this world come to??!!
vlad:*smiles smugly* hehe, i'm here to arrest all the residents of 2 Stupid Ave for illegal watering!
shvad: vlad... you live here.
vlad: ... mmm....and so do you, so what's your point?
shvad: i'll let you think about it. *continues watering lawn*

*twenty minutes later*

*sitting in a jail cell*

vlad: ...what are you in for Mac?
Mac: ... iunno, ask PC, he has a spreadsheet. I just take photos! with my built in webcam! *thumbs up*
PC: *sigh* let me calculate how much time you wasted. *punches in numbers* five......
...
..
..
YEARS.
Mac: what are YOU in for?
Vlad: oh, I arrested myself for illegal watering. *shrugs* 4 years.... i'll be out in no time.

*Mac and PC stares in shock, and burst out laughing*


Mac: this calls for a .... PHOTO! *thumbs up*
PC: alright, I'm pulling that thing out of your system. *grabs Mac's forehead, and pulls... hard*
Mac: *cries and sulks* now how am I supposed to take photos! My existence is redundant! My life is over! .... does anybody have a razor?
Vlad: no sharp objects/weapons in the cell. *thumbs up*
.

*winks*




**actually, the hose says "guaranteed to water your lawn".

AYE. a tale of the high seas!

ARR. the good ship SS. Presso be sailing to the the isles of week's end. They be sailin the most perilous seas, the number of surviors, you could count on one hook. T'was the fabled mathematical sea. On the way, the lines o' bestfit threw 'em 'round like me rum caskets. But that be the least of them worries. There be the dreaded fraction residin' in those waves. It rises up and spits demoninators at ye. Then, it consumes and reduces yer crew. Imagine. the last thing you hear, is the sqeak of a thousand pencils.. doomed to an eternity of reducing, cross multiplying, and findin lowest common denominator. if ye survived that, there still be the scatter plot isles, the only land between the mathematical sea and the isles of week's end, inhabited by first differeneces, they'll extrapolate you, and sacrifice you to the great fraction. Aye, they be close now.

*GIT BACK YOU WORK YOU LAND-HUGGIN-BLIGE-RAT!*

..until next time. if there is one..
