Oh, no! The happiness book has fallen into a pit of vipers!
April Fools! These sweet little snakes will be delighted to slither around and find you something to be happy about from this book. All you have to do is comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25.
Quotes about fools:
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do. Benjamin Franklin
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. Samuel Butler
No one but a fool is always right. David Hare
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. William Shakespeare
The heart is forever making the head its fool. François de La Rochefoucauld
Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of oneself. Charlie Chaplin
Happy April Fools’ Day!
First fool to comment. 151 18 please. 🙂
LOL, reminds me of another quote: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread!
From the book:
“mushrooms stuffed with pine nuts and sausage”
I’ll take 99-14 please. 🙂
“lying down on the grass and following a cloud across the horizon”
Oh, I do this. And make pictures of the clouds. And give them names. And lives. And relationships that get rocky but eventually work out before they have their little cirrus babies and fly off into the sunset.
Why do you leave out the unicorns?
I save them for the really tumultuous relationships.
How ’bout page 14, #5, please?
“alkaline batteries”
Page number 33 and number 7 please!
Thank you!
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. Samuel Butler
So true! I try to practice this every day. Most days I’m successful!
🙂
Our dogs can be our wisest teachers. =)
From the book:
“crazy kids”
ummm….ok?
It is what it is.
At the very least–it’s random!
Why did it have to be snakes?
Because, Indiana Jones, snakes are great and highly underrated entertainers.
I thought it was because you were tired of those goddamned snakes on that motherfucking plane.
That, too.
Can I have page 25, item # 10, please? : )
“pickled pimiento sandwiches with mayo”
Waffle-suspense is a torture unique to my online journal, I think.
You ever had the experience where you reach for a glass thinking it’s Sprite but it turns out to be water, or vice-versa, and what a shock it is to your tastebuds? That’s what this is like, primed for waffles and getting… I can hardly bear to type it… pickled pimento spread… YUCK!
I mean, thanks, Becky! : )
You’re welcome!
This fool would like page 346, # 14 please.
And you shall receive:
“Sting, actor/singer”
Ooooooh……I would have loved that one instead of the one I got. LOL
I’m sure David will share.
LOL! I love the picture!
How about page 72?
You didn’t give me an item number from that page, so I just picked one I thought you’d like because it made me think of you and your husband with your new baby:
“starting a relationship with a feeling of wonder at the uniqueness of the other person”
Oops, sorry, but thanks for picking one for me!
page number 433 number 25 for me
Dash would like page 419 number 13
For you:
“beef”
For his Dashness (though I think one of you may have had this one before–or someone has):
“the joy and spiritual warmth reflected in a Currier & Ives print”
These things make Dash seem like such a fop
we are going to pass on the Currier and Ives and share the beef … “DASH! WHERE”S THE BEEF?”
that couldn’t be helped
page 92, number 12, please!
“candied apples, pickled beets, buttered potatoes, string beans, and a half-dozen hot biscuits served with a pitcher of honey”
Sounds southern!
Yes, but I’m giving my beets to the dogs.
P.S. Can I just tell you how much I love turning my calendar over to see each month? I hope Tod gets in on some of this dogrl photo posing in costume someday.
Awwww….thanks!
(When I made those calendars, I really wasn’t sure that anybody would actually use them.)
Hopefully everyone you gave one to is using it. It’s a wonderful calendar.
