Selected Recent Events Which May Indicate That I Should Consider a Career in Slapstick Comedy or the Like

Somehow got Velcro of wallet stuck to boob area of sweater, much to the delight and amusement of elderly male lottery addicts at Fran's Mini Mart.

Forgot to zip up pants three times in one day, most notably just before sitting down in a meeting next to boss's boss. Thank goodness for long shirts.

Upon inserting wallet into front pocket of bag, pushed too far and got hand stuck in pocket with wallet. Comical flapping ensued.

Me, the morning time, piping hot tea, a recalcitrant teapot. Discuss.

Plans to wear beloved if extremely dorky overalls thwarted on Saturday when, while attempting nothing more complicated than having a pee, dropped strap into toilet.

Sewing, generally. The pins. The hot irons. The opportunities to sew things to themselves in physics-defying ways. The hopping. The cursing.

A true artiste can make old things new again: pulled classic trip-run-flail-run-save maneuver, but timing it to occur right next to a busful of pointing laughing evil children was pure genius.

Yes, pulled face at children. What would you have done?

Don't worry Tron, we're laughing with you. Oh, can I custom order a stocking?

I have experienced the overall strap-in-the-toilet scene. I am really good at ruining a perfectly good outfit before I leave the house in other ways, too. (Toothpaste, beverage, etc.)

Oh, and I love the monster stockings. They are the coolest!

Nooooo kidding with the sewing. I had to pull apart all the work I did last night because I realized, upon finishing, that while adding the fringe I had sewn the garment in question to myself. Grrrr.

I find wasing up to be a good one; you get that oh-so-authentic splash effect down the front of your shirt...
