Garfield Here, Now Gone

Your ever gracious blogger, ephemerist, extended me, LA Jay, the offer to post on his blog whenever I felt the need.  Oh, will he ever rue the day those words sprang from his fingers and tap danced their way onto his keyboard.  Like MRSA or Mike Huckabee, riding himself of me may take a long time.

But I couldn’t help sharing this tidbit that WOW posted on their blog.  Garfield without Garfield really does have more social relevance.  And since it was never funny to begin with, at-least now it has some significance.

Enjoy the briliant Garfield minus Garfield

Kids ruin Everything

Being a homosexual, I am not constrained by the societal norms to pro-create.  And, although many of my gay brethren are fathering children, I am still undecided when it comes to my desire to be a dad.

I think I would make a good father but I also like to be really selfish…so who knows.  Then comes this story from the New York Times.  Essentially, I am nearing my prime “furniture” buying years and I have some pretty refined tastes, so when I have the moolah, I am not going to be stopping by Ikea to get the goods.

But now I am worried.  What if I want to have kids later on and I have invested in all these great (and expensive) material possessions?  How will I protect them and my child?  After a little soul searching, I have found the answer….

I am just going to have a baby now!  Getting the baby having out of the way now is perfect timing, because I really don’t own anything nice for said baby to ruin.  Then I can have a baby shower to acquire all the necessary baby things. Two worries down!

Now, where does one go to buy a high-end, designer baby with Stain protector that will match the soft blue and tan color scheme of my hipster apartment?

I Can Has Luving Home Plz?

With my advancing age and lack of any dating momentum, I’m seriously considering adopting a pet — most likely a cat, which will no doubt cement my reputation as a lonely old curmudgeon. Confirmed bachelorhood! Whee! But seriously, I’ve been hesitant because, ya know, I get that it’s a huge responsibility, but when I saw this new ad campaign I almost rushed to the animal shelter. Nothing LOL about these poor cats and dogs.
