Guest Post: And Now For Something Completely Different

Hi everybody. I'm Catheroo from Catheroominations. Ali asked me to be one of her guest bloggers while she recharges. 

Yup. Ali's gone for a little while.

Hey! Let's talk smack about her. Wanna?

Nah. How could you say anything bad about Ali?

Wait. She's not here. We have no supervision. You know what that means. Raging blog kegger!! Party on, dudes! Charge a cover, and hire strippers! Sweet!

Except, oh...I'm sort of the blogger right now, and that probably makes me like responsible for you people or something. Must maintain decorum at AliThinks. Ha. She didn't know who she was asking to guest blog today. Had she been aware of my babysitting skills, she may not have extended the invitation.

Back in the early 80's, I babysat to make ends meet (whatever ends I needed to meet at 12 years old). [Insert squiggly flashback thingees onto your screen]

Me: Uhm. Are you supposed to be jumping on the bed like that?
Brat: Yeah, Mom says it's cool.
Me: OK, then. But, uh, I think you shouldn't be smoking. 
Brat: Nah, it's OK. Dad's trying to quit and I'm removing the temptation. 
Me: Wow. That's really thoughtful of you.
Brat: Yeah. I'm a Boy Scout
Me: Good for you. But really, do you need to be drinking that beer?
Brat: Yeah, Dad and me...we're trying to earn the alcohol awareness badge at next weekend's Jamboree.
Me: It's great that you and your dad are so close. You're a sweet kid.
Brat: There's more beer in the fridge. Want one?
Me: Hell yeah!

The kids loved me. But they never saw me again. Yeah, I'm not so good being in charge, so y'all go ahead. Play ball in the house. Stay up past your bedtime. Eat a whole pack of Oreos. and don't worry about brushing your teeth. Oh, and that math homework? You're right, you'll never use it.

Let's toilet-paper this here blog. I've got rolls and rolls of it at my blog. Who's with me?

Only if I don't have to clean it up. *LOL* I'm all for tp'ing but I hate cleaning it up.

catheroo, there is that wicked pleasure of being able to write anything you want in a guest spot. Do you think she'll really be sensoring any of it?

[cmhl]

I'm with you!
I think we should have a slumber-party type atmosphere--- maybe ali could still be on her sabattical, and wear camo and blend into the background, so she wouldn't be cheating.

I say we levitate someone. Yes?

oiji board? did I spell that correctly? where is ali when I NEED her? hahaha.

[ally bean]

I'm in. I want to soap her windows. Whad 'ya say? Can I, huh?

[Margaret]

Alison is lucky that this is just a virtual spot--we would do all sorts of mischief!

[catheroo]

I think Ali is all for freedom of speech. She didn't censor a thing. If there are typos, it's all me, baby!

Soap is an excellent idea. Get Irish Spring because it's green.

Oh, and I'm totally in for playing "light as a feather!" Can I go first?

[kenju]

Sounds like a good plan to me! Catheroo, I am here from Michele's, via your blog.

Hey aren't those the good wine glasses...do you think she'll be mad that we broke a few? nahhh...probably not.

[Monty]

I got to play this light as a feather thingy

[Daisy]

Never mind the broken glasses, have you seen that big stain on the new rug? Quick, fetch me the salt!
