White Emo Emu

While I was out riding this afternoon, I happened across a white Emu. Apparently, white Emus are rare, and this one might be albino. She was happy to pose for a fashion shoot but not happy when a big white dog ran up barking, interrupting our photo session. Ms Emu took no time to show señor Perro how she felt about him butting in on her fashion shoot and promptly pecked him on his butt. Then she chased him into a dugout and came back for more photos.

Linda’s Lucky Day

Timothy Price50 Comments

The sky cleared up quickly yesterday afternoon, so I got to see the sliver moon after all.

While riding my bike this afternoon, I stopped and moved a Hognose snake off the road. I didn’t bother to photograph it. If I had, I would have been obliged to post photos of it, but since I had a very unpaparazzo moment and moved the snake without making it pose for photos, Linda and Herman lucked out.

One of our orchids bloomed. It is not common for us to have orchids rebloom.

Stormy Monday

Some of you might have heard about the flooding in Albuquerque on Saturday evening. We had a terrific lighting and thunderstorm that dumped up to 2 inches of rain in parts of Albuquerque, causing serious flooding in some areas. We got 3/4 inches of rain from the storm, which left a lot of large puddles. They had mostly evaporated by Sunday afternoon. However, the thunderstorms are moving through again this afternoon.

I Am A Man

Timothy Price88 Comments
Lyrics by Paul Shanklin. Music by Ray Burton. Vocals by Timothy Price.

I Am A Man is one of my favorite parodies. It’s such a perfect description of a man put to the music of I Am Women by Helen Reddy. Paul Shanklin is one of my inspirations for parodies along with Weird Al Yankovic. Lyrics are at the bottom of the post.

We have jugs, fountains, and bowls of water for the cats. Now, we have to leave a cup of water out for the jumping spiders.

I Am A Man
Lyrics by Paul Shanklin
Music by Ray Burton

Pull my finger, hear me roar
Like ten thousand times before
And you know that when I listen, I pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
Pick your socks up off the floor
But you know that I’ll just throw them down again

Oh, yes, I’m right, but it’s wisdom born with pain
Yes, I paid the price; just look how much I’ve gained
If I have to, I can eat anything
I am wrong (wrong)
I am insensitive (insensitive)
I’m a man

You can try, but never break me
‘Cause my mama never made me
Do nothin’ ’round the house but lick the bowl
I’ve got bigger things to ponder
I’m not the one who’s supposed to launder
Where are more batteries for my remote?

Whoa, yes, I’m right
But it’s wisdom born with pain
Yes, I’ll pay the price
But I get to watch the game
If I have to
I can fix anything
I am wrong (wrong)
I am insensitive ((insensitive)
I’m a man

Don’t you forget it, baby

I am man; watch me mow
See me swing just like a pro
And I still like Lucky Charms with eggs and ham
But she’s still a little slow
With a long, long way to go
How can I make your mama understand?

Oh, yes, I’m right
Or else I know who to blame
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I’ve gained
If I have to
I can sleep anywhere
I am wrong (wrong)
Sure, I’m insensitive (Neanderthal)
I’m a man

I’m a man

That’s right
Don’t you forget it
I’m gonna have fun tonight
I’m headed down to the bowling alley with Tony
And we’re not gonna come back ’til 3 a.m.
You have a trailer all to yourself
Come on, Bubba, let’s go
What do you mean your wife wants you to stay home?
Are you some kind of wimp? Or what?
