> [@LSLGuy](#): > > My late wife and I never closed the bathroom door on each other. I don’t close the door, because I typically have at least one cat insisting on escorting me to the bathroom and they get VERY noisily upset if they can’t. Also tend to claw the door. DH is much more the private type, but the cats seem to trust him to handle bathroom visits without their help, so they don’t fuss about it. ---

Just popping in, as I have an insanely busy day ahead. My silly song is, well, not great, but I was only 10 when I made the parody. We had a Mitch Miller album that had [Peg o’ My Heart](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMU1DPFn7is) on it. Original: 🎶 Peg o’ my heart, I love you. Don’t let us part. I love you I always knew It would be you. Since I heard your lilting laughter It’s your Irish heart I’m after. All I can recall of my parody: 🎶 Peg in my heart I’m bleeding On the carpet. I’m needing A doc right away. What do you say? Why’d you stick me with a yard stake? Take it out or come to my wake. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > when she got to Z, instead she’d yell out something like _BANANA!!_ I approve and shall sing the alphabet song this way forevermore.

For all of you. **Pilot** , you being a very sociable sort of guy, I can’t see dropping out of groups like the condo bunch. Enjoy the conversation and company. I tend to close the bathroom door out of habit, most of the time I was growing up there were 4 people in the house and only one bathroom, so the door gave one some privacy. And now when it doesn’t matter, I still do in the spare bathroom (the way the master bathroom is arranged it isn’t an issue). **doggio** , sounds like they might be closing up this year; will you be offered any options?

I seem to always have a song in my head, and they’re often silly. Not long ago, I watched a Tom Lehrer special on PBS, and “The Hunting Song” subsequently repeated in my head for days. (“Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.”) This morning it’s the Beat Farmers’ version of “Big Rock Candy Mountain,” which I heard the other day. It’s a silly-ish song to begin with, made even more so when Country Dick Montana sings it. **Shoe** , I’m surprised your brand new system uses ribbon printers; I thought those were obsolete. Thermal is the way to go! ---

I don’t … _think?_ … they’re ribbon printers? I’ll admit, electronic devices aren’t my best friends under the best of circumstances, and even then, I’m far more comfortable troubleshooting software than hardware. ---

Ah, I went back and read your OP, and you said “ink,” not “ribbon.” My bad. Still, for the nearly 9 years I worked at the zoo, all the printers were thermal. No ribbon, no ink, no nothing; just pop in a new roll of paper when it runs out. I thought this kind of thing was standard now. ---

My version: “Down the lane I look and there comes Mary Hair of gold and t\*ts like cherries It’s good to smoke The green green grass of home.” A lot of the selections posted look like the “MAD” magazine parodies from the 60s and 70s. Then there’s Allan Sherman, whose parodies I’m always thinking of: **On Top of Old Smoky** On top of old Smoky All covered with hair Of course I’m referring To Smoky the bear. **Comin’ Through the Rye** Do not make a stingy sandwich Pile the cold cuts high Customers should see salami Comin’ through the rye. **Auld Lang Syne** I know a man His name is Lang And he has a neon sign And Mister Lang is very old So they call it old Lang’s sign. ---

I will now have “Hit me with your pet shark!” stuck in my head all day as my own personal misheard lyric. I’m sure Pat Bennetar would be disappointed in me. In other news, we haven’t yet put our mom’s house on the market, but have already received an offer. It looks like it’s probably from a shell real estate company, so I’m assuming they plan to flip it. They quoted us an offensively low amount to purchase as-is, which is super annoying. Anyway, it’s a bright beautiful day and I really want to go for a run or walk and not be here. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Same day, I came in wearing a kerchief with blue splashes all over it. Picture showing your nice eyes, and this week’s theme, reminds me of a song my mom would sing when I was in high school: _Jeepers Creepers, where’d ya get those peepers? Jeepers Creepers, where’d ya get those eyes?_ And then there’s my favorite: _Be kind to your web-footed friend, for a duck may be somebody’s mother_ 🦆 Right now it’s bedtime for Bonzo. ---

We were out for three hours Saturday, so I missed a package delivery. The delivery notice didn’t say whether they would re-try. I eventually got through to the Post Orifice and was told I’d have to come pick it up. Went down at ‘lunchtime’ to receive a bloody great box. Might have been two feet square, and about four feet wide. Inside of it was an empty box about a foot and a half by about a foot by about 10 inches. Below _that_ box was a long box that was the size I was expecting (and a couple pieces of crumpled brown wrapping/packing paper). Inside of the expected-size box was the left-rear fairing for the Seca II that I’d bought from a seller in Germany. I broke down the boxes, but the Post Orifice didn’t have recycling. I went to a mailing place and put the broken-down boxes into the skips they had out back. They had metal screens on the top to keep people from throwing things in there, but I was able to slide the cardboard in. For my actual lunch I made a burger out of ‘by it before it rots’ ‘best for burgers’ ground beef, two slices of American cheese, thousand island dressing, and lettuce on a keto bun. I drank all of the coffee earlier, so I have some apple cider vinegar mixed in water. Wifey, RN just got home. It’s supposed to snow tonight or tomorrow. ---

Dangit, now you’ve got that stuck in my head…next thing you know I’ll be out poisoning pigeons in the park… **Flyboy** , sounds like a wee bit of overpacking there, but glad you got the part. **talkie** , I get about 3-4 calls a week from people wanting to buy my property. Hilarious thing about it is 3 out of 4 of them mention adresses I’ve never heard of. **Mark\_Finn** (Not sure if your Mumper name should be **Huckleberry** or **Mickey** ( **MF** as your MMP moniker is probably contraindicated…), what do the rest of you think)?

Not sure if it’s permitted to post risque stuff on the MMP, so I’ll forbear. Got to the gym early and had lanes available so I did three sets of laps for 1 1/4 mile of backstoking, a new record for me, and the scale showed 228.2lbs, so yeah.

Howdy Y’all! As stated this mornin’ it has been a day of high and holy sloth. I did manage to go down to the mailbox and haul the biiiiiig trash can all the way back up from the road to where it stays all week, but that was all in one trip. Thus, I was both productive and efficient! I then took a well-earned nap. Also sup got cooked and et.

So sleepy…. Yes, **shoe,** my grandma was awesome. More hugs for **FCM** and family. I did have one other song I was thinking of. Let me first explain my upbringing so that it makes sense. I grew up living with my parents and my paternal grandparents all in the same house. My mom is Jewish and my dad and grandparents are/were Baptist. So, I would often sing a refrain along with the Carpenters… Fa la la la la Just like me they long to be a Baptist Jew 🤪 ---

_Started Typing: 6:10 PM ET Clicked Reply: 6:47 PM ET_ I’m finished working for the day but I have a volunteer-related Zoom meeting starting in less than an hour, so I figure why bother to relocate to the living room for such a short period of time: I’ll just hang out here and post in the MMP (on a Monday! woot!), and eventually have a banana and nuke a Hormel pot roast thingy for dinner. Then after the meeting I will treat myself to some yummy popcorn. 🍿 Cute Fellow Volunteer might also be in this evening’s meeting. There’s another online thing at the same time that I know he’s interested in, but if he makes it tonight I might have to be a brazen hussy and send him a “hey” chat message. The fourth week of every month is “volunteer meeting” week: leadership on Mondays, general membership on Tuesdays, and my committee on Wednesdays. All at 7pm. I get a bit of a break during the general membership meetings: I generally don’t have to participate in/be on-camera for those, so I can sit on my couch in my jammies with Zoom running on my little iPad. But by the fourth Thursday evening of each month I need some serious “leave me alone” time and am ready to growl at anyone who messages/emails/texts me. I’m alright again by Friday morning, though. 😁 > [@(Old) Don't Sleep On The President's Day Sales - A Mattress MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-dont-sleep-on-the-presidents-day-sales-a-mattress-mmp/997754/346): > > A little flirtation back and forth is what got OYKW and me together.
