It was one year ago today .....

... that we let the Critters out to play
they've been goin' in and out of style
but I hope at least once they made you smile.


OK, I'll leave the song parodies to 'Bits, he's better at it than I am.

One year ago today, the following appeared here in a post at BuffettNews .....
Image

And then for some unknown reason, I wrote another and posted it the next day.....

Well, one thing led to another and I've posted over 200 of these in the past year. I never thought I'd be able to keep it up for an entire year, but somehow I did. Thank you for a lot if idiotic inspiration along the way. It's been fun.

Well, what the hell ..... why not a song to celebrate?

TRIP TO CRITTERVILLE

Can't believe it's Critterversary
We've been treated to so many strips
This year gone by was filled with jokes and quips
Every day's a revelation
No matter what it's not complete until
We get a chance to take a trip to Critterville

We're just hangin' on while SP's brain is workin'
And we never know which way the plot line flows
Around the Critters thread we'll all be lurkin'
'Cause we want to know just where the story goes

We don't always see it comin'
Wonderin' where the Critters wandered to
Only time will tell what they will say or do
It's a comical sensation
And we know we'll never get our fill
Of these memories of our trip to Critterville

We're just hangin' on while SP's brain is workin'
And we never know which way the plot line flows
Around the Critters thread we'll all be lurkin'
'Cause we want to know just where the story goes

Yes we'll make a resolution
That we'll read as long as SP will
Take us for the ride on a trip to Critterville
Take us for the ride .....


Thanks for the laughs, SP ..... here's to another year! :D

Boobies.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Wow, a whole year already!

I can't imagine any other way to start the day than with a cup of coffee and a quick trip to Critterville.

Congratulations, SP!!
