I was very excited today because
I was told we were off Gorilla Gardening, which sounded WELL COOL after all it
is not everyday you get to go and chase gorillas and remove them from peoples gardens. So I was well
prepared with a harpoon gun and a pointy stick and camouflage clothing ready to
do battle with the large lumpy beasts in someone’s garden., but it appears
gorilla gardening does not involve gorillas just gardening. I feel I may have been lead up the garden
path so to speak, well I would have been if the garden in question had a garden
path which it does not. Anyway there was
a gang of us and we attacked (well not as in attack ….. AAAAuuuuuuuggghhhh,
sort of attack) a garden by weeding, cutting hedges, moving things, poking at
possible Gorillas and Zombies hiding in
shrubs, that was mainly me as I feel it is best to be on the safe side. We then
all stopped for lunch but never quite got going again due to exhaustion. If there
were gorillas about (or Zombies) that was us at our weakest and they missed the
opportunity of attack, (attack as in Attack, AAAAuuuuuuuggghhhh, sort of attack).
Not a gorilla
During our meal
I was told that I looked like John Lennon before he was born which made people
snigger and I was told that it probably meant I looked like I should be in a
cell, I was not amused and I bet no one would say that to a gorilla or a Zombie,
although I think a gorilla is more Elvis than John Lennon. I also learnt that
the Prime Minister can make really good pies; I say this but it was only what I
was told and for all I know he might or might not make good pies and I never
established what sort of pie we were talking about, I think that is important.
Anyway I need
to rest because gorilla gardening may not involve any gorillas but it is hard
work, I may go and look for hedgehogs later ….. So good night I will return as
I do tomorrow.
.
I commend you on your preparations in regard to the possibility of gorillas and or zombies. You potentially were the would be rescuer of your entire party.
ReplyDeleteThat is true but because neither gorillas or zombies attacked us the result is they still think I am mad. But one day they will learn, and then they will soon change their tune.....
DeleteGorilla gardening? In BC?
ReplyDeleteJust as well they got you to stop any monkey business.
We were heading in the opposite direction (well for me) and we were in Westbury, there is not a lot on Westbury, not even gorillas so it seems.
DeleteI don't think it is a bad thing to look like John Lennon BEFORE he was born. I don't know how that would work but I guess it would be a bad thing if somebody said you look like John Lennon AFTER he died. That would be bad.
ReplyDeleteI am confused.
I've never been told I look like anyone. Even me. which is weird.
Oh, yes, the "Looked like John Lennon before he was born" was a veRy good hahaha.
DeleteIt really was said Mr ESB but I don't think it was quite what they meant (I hope).
DeleteAnd I quite agree Mr H better to look like him before rather than after.
Although one day in a few million years we will all look the same and folk will be reading my diary desperate to know what happened after the terrible DNA experiment conducted by the dyslexic mad scientist on Johns Lemmons (I hope that does not sound rude?)....
Great post, I think it was a compliament to Elvis and John Lennon.
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
I hope so, I do not wish to be sued by their respective estates.
DeleteGreetings human, Rob,
ReplyDeleteKeep a guard on for gorillas in the garden. I shall tell my human to watch out for gorillas and zombies and Elvis and John Lennon and speaking of good pies, my human would like to throw a good pie or a bad pie at the Prime Minister and because I'm into using the conjunction word "and" and no, "conjunction" is not an intersection where criminals hang out, well maybe the gorilla ones, this run on sentence will end by stating we enjoy your surreality and we want you to become the next Prime Minister.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)
Good day Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, I hope you are not feeling to Ruff (HAH HAH AH HAH HA HAH HAH AH HAH AH hah ah hah ah ahah hhah ah hah ah) having eaten too many pies, there is an old saying....
DeleteToo many pies spoil the cook . . . . (I think). I will be pleased to be Prime Minister and feel I would do a great job. Speeches in particular would be a lot more friendly and honest.
Some say I am not so much surreal, more BARKING . . . . .HAH AH HAH HAH AH Hah ah ha hah ah hah ah hah aahh h hah aa
:)
I don't bake pies, I just buy them and eat 'em. WeLL, I do nuke them for a few seconds in the microwave, so I guess they are s-lightly baked. I agree, Elvis and GoriLLas, simian-lar, hahahaha... and there is that Elvis song "Gorilla Happy", and another one, "A Boy Like Me, A Gorilla Like You"
ReplyDeleteYou don't make pies Mr ESB I was rather surprised by this, as I know you like to cook and I would imagine both your wife and Cooper happily eating one of your home-made chicken and bacon pies with a hint of chilli sauce some new potatoes and fresh garden peas, followed by pineapple ice cream and coffee.
DeleteI am not good on Elvis songs although the thought . . . Love me Tarzan love me do . . . . sort of flashed in my mind (as it would?).
It is wonderful and hot today (well for the UK 68 to 70F) with no wind and a blue sky.
I will be back later to respond to you all, but it is summer outside today and I plan to run about a bit and wave at it (avoiding gorillas and zombies ans elvis and john lennon)
ReplyDeleteSee you all later.
It is nice of you to check in, we were getting worried about you. WeLL, semi-worried, at least.
DeleteThanks Mr ESB All is well, and I have returned to respond and will go and play in the sun again now. It is a Bank Holiday in the UK (maybe not Scotland)called May Day, formally Labour Day so there are millions of folk on beaches or in traffic jams trying to get to a beach. It is a British thing and a bit mad if you ask me. As any other day the trip to the beach is OK.
DeleteI painted for awhile before the scheduled rain, then chatted w Jesus for awhile, but they were sadly out of onion rings. So I came home to rest and fixing to reheat a buffalo-pork sausage mix burger. I cooked four at around midnight last night. Mmmmm....going to have a milkshake with chocolate syrup and caramel syrup, a new recipe of mine. I did make a discovery about painting today, I found a thicker roller that does a better job painting concrete block waLLs.
DeleteStrangely I almost painted some concrete blocks today but I did not, I plan to use a brush as there are only a few to do.
DeleteThat is rather late to be cooking Mr ESB I am normally sleeping at that time....
ActuaLLy that was around the time I finished cooking, because I remembered that I had just finished eating when my teleBision show came on at midnight. My wife said she could hear me cooking but luckily I remembered to turn off the ceiling fan in the kitchen and turned on the eXhaust fan over the stove, as my wife typicaLLy doesn't enjoy either buffalo or sausage cooking. She used to not like gumbo, but now she wiLL actuaLLy eat my chicken gumbo. Strange world, interesting noses. I am hoping to catch a praying mantis soon to bring it indoors to live in my jungle. Oh, and right before painting I got a request for another pineapple plant from the lady who lives west of me. She said her first plant is thriving, and wants another one.
