P’Nut,  RIP

I’m afraid you have to ask Gumbo about it

Why not have Adam take his place? He’s nuttier than the tree squirrel!

Let’s hope the batteries didn’t make it melt…

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 1999 I bought a novelty frog that croaked “Jingle Bells” for my then twenty-month-old oldest daughter. My wife immediately hated “Froggie,” but he has become a Christmas icon in our home. After the first couple of years, she kept hoping he would break, or the batteries would go dead because there is no way to change them other than cutting him open. Moving forward to last Friday when she tried to sneak Froggie back in the box because she thought we were not looking. She looked at me and said, “It can’t still possibly work.” She was completely crushed while the rest of us cheered when she pushed the button and Froggie sang out like the day he was purchased almost exactly twenty-five years before. Now those are some good batteries!!

“They keep going, and going, and going and…

Not if they’re ENERGIZERS!!

Sherman the Christmas Squirrel,

Has a very fluffy tail,

It shines like Christmas silver tinsel,

The kind you order through the mail,

He’s not like the other tree rats,

Peering through your window pane,

He’s not content to steal your shelled nuts,

Sherman is a bit insane!

Because one foggy Christmas Eve, He got clocked by an SUV,

An’ ever since that fateful night, he just hasn’t been quite right!

If you let him in your foyer,

He’ll sprint o’er to your Christmas tree

Then Sherman the Christmas Squirrel,

Will incite cal – am – i – teeeeee!

Does this guy actually exist? I will totally get that for my friend for next Christmas if he does.

Doreen Green freed him from his life of servitude.

I repeat, Clayton knows what happened to it.

Well said Adam – I have a friend in a motorized wheelchair, I asked him one time what would happen if the battery died. “Well, I won’t get far on foot!” Served me right.
