Wildcats, Comedy, and the 5th Dimension
Hey PJ!
Recovered from that crazy weekend yet? Bleu said he had an amazing time(he was hiding behind Nick most of the weekend).
In fact, it was Bleu who assisted Nick and I in our endeavors to clear the game field from wildcats. You see, a couple years back, a group of us were out messing around in the field during lunch break, enjoying the sun and having fun. We were just about to head inside when a big wildcat ran onto the field, right toward the ladies! Nick managed to get them outside the gate whilst I [ahem] dispatched the cat. Naturally, Nick and I decided to go out and check the field before we had little kiddos on it this year. Bleu tagged along of course, since there wasn’t really anything fun going on downstairs. When we got to the field, to our surprise there were THREE wildcats! Nick and I figured that it’d take us at least 3 minutes and 23 seconds to totally take care of the issue, but Bleu asked us to hold off for a bit. He walked right out on the field and smacked the lead wildcat in the face! Nick had Bleu figured for goners, but I know him a bit better than Nick did. Bleu managed to tie the tails of all the wildcats together, hook a rope to them, and then use that rope to swing them around and around and around… I’m not sure exactly where they are now, probably still in orbit around the earth. I’m anticipating not having to worry about wildcats next year.
You remember me telling you that Bleu doesn’t quite understand the 5th dimension? Well, I’ve decided he needs to start learning. See, last night we decided to watch Brian Regan, a fairly well known comedian, online. I chuckled and laughed throughout the entire movie, paying special attention to those jokes about “intelligent life” on other planets. Bleu was not amused. We talked late into the night about many things (including ridiculous “environmentally hostile” energy sources… *sigh*), but the thing that occupied our conversation the most was comedy. Bleu loves a good drama and action thrillers are among his favorite movies. But toss a comedy, or worse, a romantic comedy his way? He just won’t get it. So I explained to him about our silly sense of humor. He finds sharp wit and elegant humor quite entertaining (he spends hours debating the relative merits of specific insults and such), but he does not understand knock-knock jokes, or any typical youtube videos. Which is sad. I explained that our world is so filled with tragedy, that any respite from it is a wonderful breath of fresh air to us. So when someone posts a video talking about the difference between a jelly+fish sandwich, which is ok, and a jellyfish sandwich(which will kill you), we enjoy it, laugh about it, favorite it, and share it on twitter. Of course! He’s slowly learning how that type of humor works, mainly because he loves to poke fun at us anyway!
Whoops, he just popped back in… Wants to play the Wii I suppose. *sigh* Perhaps I’ll get sleep next week!
