Now Entering James Woods? I Beg to Differ

DISTRAUGHT AFTER having lost her cat Tippy, who she sometimes calls Spike, Elle Woods is unable to eat --not even a sandwich, that of which she sometimes calls "Tippy," but only when they'd misplaced themselves during a forest walk.
WAIT a minute.
That doesn't seem
quite right.
Bear with me
,
I'm going to give it another "go":

Elle,

who got lost in the woods and was afraid that eventually she might have to eat Tippy, did. Eventually, she finds her way home --a new "home," that is. Arrested for being an unregistered Animagus, in this case, due to a food allergy, the authorities throw her in The Icebox (solitary confinement), a form of imprisonment most "sandwiches" (illegals) see as anything less than torture.

Nah. I'm pretty sure that's not it at all.
Can I take another stab?
GREAT! You're


Da Peach!

James Woods walking his dog possibly named Tippy, who is NOT a sandwich.

*manically shakes
a bejumbled head and snaps out of it*

W-WAIT UP!

I think I'm finally there:

Jim and his new puppy, who remains nameless, are on their way to a forest-screening of a

Lost
revival, afterwhich
sandwiches will be served.
James will order a "T!pPy" (a

Dagwood-type concoction

whose between-the-bread-slices layers are lettuce-nested, mayo-ed Corvus tenders, named such because it's structure lends itself for being just that, but, mostly, to honor Miss Tippi Hedren in her role as "Melanie" in


Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds).

But Mr. Woods will take it home and
refrigerate it for later, as he doesn't like to

"eat crow"
in public.


"WHAT DOES THIS all mean?," you're probably asking yourself, since, after posting this blog entry, I have flown the coop to go consume some leftover Pizza Hut from last night's feedbag, so, I am no longer here for you to address me directly with your concerns. But, YAY! for you, because a forever thoughtful me

spilled the beans
just for you before taking off!

FOUR WORDS:

HAPPY
Jack Handey
FRIDAY!

"ONCE, WHEN I GOT lost in the woods, I was afraid that eventually I might have to eat Tippy. But finally I found my way home, and I was able to put Tippy back in the refrigerator with my other sandwiches." --Jack Handey, Fuzzy Memories

HEY, BEFORE you high-tail it out of here,
have I got a treat for you!

*opens Frigidaire to retrieve a "Have you seen this yet?" goodie, kept in the Humidity-Controlled Crisper for safekeeping AND freshness, because why not? That's what it's there for, right?*

NOT TO WORRY. I promise it's not a sandwich named Tippy, or my favourite celebrity marrieds, Jimbo and Elle Woods, either. Nope, nope, nope. Instead, wood would you like you to meet a really, really cool poochie? Yeah, I know, who wouldn't?! Then, just cLiCkY-cLiCkY the > below:




. . . . . . .

CORRECTION: I am happy to inform
you that you are
NOW "out of the Woods"!

You're lucky I didn't throw Woody Allen (and his his little dog, Soon-Yi "Tippy" aka "Sandwich" Previn) into the mix, too-ly yours,

Rest in peace, my Mollo and Zuzie.

As soon as I realized the gist of this post, I knew there'd be a Family Guy reference in there somewhere. The pink wig-wearing cat wasn't bad either. As always, great tie-ins.

Out of the woods? Hardly. You left my head spinning about three miles back. I'm shocked that you didn't include Woody, but hmm, I guess you actually did. Very sneaky and fun, Sparkle.

Hello, Miss Totey! Do you know what I like? I like the fact that you are a blog visitor who cares enough to take the time to actually read what I've written. It means the world to m--IS THAT CAKE I SMELL?! Tracy, is it that confetti in your hair? It is! There's confetti in your hair!!! Is it your birthday?! I thought so! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Why, yes. As a matter of fact, I DO have a a present <--for you!

Hello and hee-haw, how are you, Gramma's Goulash?! (That's sort of what Mary Hatch said to Sam Wainwright in It's a Woderful Life. Were you able to catch an airing of it, this holiday season? It's my all-time favourite movie. I always make a point of watching it, mid-suumer, too. It's part of my "Christmas in July" festivities. Great fun!)

So, I left your head spinning three miles back, did I? Well, as long as you're not eating any dust in that wake, you should be okay. But, if later on, you're feeling poorly, take two of THESE and call me in the morning. (<--Tee-hee!)

Good night and sweet dreams (I'm headed for beddy-by.),

P.S. Thanks for the visit!

P.P.S. to Grandma's Goulash: Here be the "N" I mistakenly left out of "Woderful."

Sparkle Ma'am,
Gosh your talent shone along many avenues. You kept us glued to follow your journey and wanting more sparklers. Tippy Hedren, Woody and Little Su-Yi (she's big now)I even spied Gilligen at his usual corner. Great verse here!

You have James but missed Tiger! His sparklers dimmed for a while but is now slowly moving up! Hope he gets to where he was and brings back the shine to good golfing!

Good day, kaykuala! I was jist over tah your place catchin' me some mighty fine poetry. Yep, caught me a big'n and batter-fried it up fer breakfast, I did! (All joshing aside, you are extremely talented and, thoroughly, I enjoyed your verse.)

Thank you for stopping by to visit a while with me and the other commenters. And, all the compliments you showered me with made for a delicious morning-meal dessert!

Happy Jack Handey Friday. Seems like I'm a bit late again. Again, too much stuff on my mind. I hope that you & your family have a great weekend.

James Woods was a bit of a nut job on Family Guy. lol

Daisy said...

Um, can I have that pink wig?

SparkleFarkle said...

Happy Jack Handey Friday, RottieGirl! Having to think too much is not good (Obviously, I try to do as little thinking as possible. I was born worrying, and, gosh darn it, my thoughts can get away on me so quickly. Yep, there is nothing worse than getting bit by the Frets Bug. Wait, yes there is: getting bit by the Panic Attack Python!) My wish for you is to have your "heavies" lift. Here is a present for you to go lie in for a smitch. A breather can sometimes be the best medicine. Now daisy field-skidaddle! Sounds like you have some peace and quiet time to catch up on.

P.S. Everything is going to be alright.

Oh, Miss Daisy, you're the cat's meow! Of course you can have the pink wig!
