Taylor Swift was writing about you, Spoof

Here's an annoying one for you.

Today, Opie spent probably five minutes telling a patron about an event we're holding tomorrow. Let's call it Program X. After the patron left, Opie walked away. Spoof, having witnessed this interchange, thought perhaps Opie was being rational today.

All of you who've read this blog before know better

When Opie walked back up to the desk two minutes later, Spoof said "Opie, I noticed there is nothing on our website about Program X."

Opie said,"Oh, is that tomorrow?"

Spoof was calm and instead of screaming at Opie very calmly said, "Did you forget you just told that patron about Program X?"

Opie didn't even respond, just looked wounded and walked away.

Now we've been talking about Program X off and on for at least a month. It was specifically mentioned in our staff meeting earlier this week. Opie even offered to help with prep work on two separate occasions. Opie and Speck spent at least fifteen minutes talking about details of Program X just yesterday.

All of this is annoying, but kind of standard for Opie. What makes this story really bad is what happened next. As Opie walked away, Shoes came shuffling over.

"Don't you think that was kind of a mean thing to say to sweet, sweet Opie?" said Shoes.

"No, no I don't," snapped Spoof. And Spoof walked away as well, or the next things said would probably have been quite mean indeed.

They want me to trip, don't they

Do you all enjoy Stuff Out of Context as much as we do?

Today's line is: Must be the frogs with shoe laces.

 

The Return of the Dunce Corner

On our website - Little House on the Prarie

Also on the website - a page where all of the links, no matter where they were supposed to go, went to the same place

A google search for "Charrlets Web" 

A sign - "Comments or Complainsts"

A phone call made by the Zebra - "Hi, this is Elephant calling from Tartarus. Can I talk to the Zebra?"

 

It's Mo Monday!

We're not really sure what is happening here. Is Mo satisfying his hunger with a mini-moose snack? Is he hypnotizing the moose to make it into his antlered minion? We don't know. All we know is, if it involves Mo it can't be good.

A match made in ... something

Some time ago, we told you about the man in the lady hat. Today we met his perfect match. Let's call her crazy boots. 

Crazy boots came into Tartarus wearing a dress and these massively furry boots. Like, came all the way up to her knees and had fur that was probably four inches long. They were furry from top to bottom. They looked insane. She informed us that she had made the boots herself! So it's not like these were the only boots available when she went shopping or something. No. This woman looked at some really long fur and thought "Hey, I bet those would make some really snazzy boots." 

They were even furrier than this guy's cats.

 

That's one angry piece of fruit

Remember the grapeys ? Grapes that are so old they've gone wrinkly. That particular batch of grapeys has gone away, thank goodness. But we've been tracking a new set. And now we have some help in the task. Meet Grrrr-apey.

 

This rotten grape's sole purpose in life is to watch  for gross, rotting food. It infuriates him. He's had about enough of this particular group of grapeys. Have a look.

 

Disgusting
