It’s Friday… thank goodness! (Now I know why it’s always said the other way. IF…TG is not really as catchy as TGIF.)
As always, it’s time for some fun links to send you into the weekend. As a bonus, today’s post includes information about a K9 Kamp giveaway! Read on, friend…
- This week’s punny net name: William Snakespeare. (Bonus puns: Mount Ruffmore and “Is it tea you’re looking for?” That second link will show you my new favorite thing. I want one. Seriously. It’s possible I wrote a few verses of that song this week… you know I can’t fight the music.)
- It’s been a big week for punny songs over here. Newly added to my catalog? “Hakuna Manatee” (it means no worries, in the inlets and bays) and “Hakuna Fritatta” (I was at a work brunch and couldn’t stop humming it to myself).
- Also, here’s a special one for you Days of Our Lives fans – “Hakuna Marlena.” (It does, in fact, involve references to that time she was possessed. Now she has a “Satan-free… philosophy… Hakuna Marlena.”)
- Moving on… here’s Hero, the dog-shaped hot dog steamer. There are no words.
- There are, however, words for these cake pops that look like my favorite cartoon character. Those words? Awesome and adorable.
- Speaking of cake, I finally posted a new recipe on my long-neglected cupcake blog.
- I have a friend who has a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Snoop Dogg. I have a feeling she would appreciate this next link.
- Looking for a pet-friendly hotel? How about a hotel that has dogs on staff and helps pets get adopted? As you wish.
- If you got the Princess Bride reference in that last item, then you’ll love this (fictional) version of Monopoly. (If it were real, it would be currently fighting that Lionel Richie teapot for the title of my favorite thing.)
- This photo just made me smile. However, this one led to a fit of giggles that I still haven’t quite gotten over. Wordplay!
As you know, I’ve been participating in K9 Kamp for the last few weeks. Today, I’m the featured blogger at Peggy’s Pet Place – swing by to check it out. In addition, K9 Kamp is giving away a set of hand-crafted, eco-friendly Fetching Sticks from Molly Products. You can enter by heading over to Peggy’s Pet Place or on this blog after the jump…
Is it wrong to admit that I want a hot dog steamer that barks? That's so freakin' cool!
That's a whole lotta Hakuna Matata spinoffs!
Garfield cake pops? Now I'm hungry!
I was disappointed the cake pops weren't of Pikachu from Pokemon fame. Maybe that's because I saw a teenage boy on the Common an hour ago wearing a Pikachu hoodie that made him look just like the electric rabbit.
Great links. The number of laughs was inconceivable. (I do not think that word means what you think it does."
BTW, for wordplay I love the Stephen Colbert Show. Have you noticed in the opening "from C to silent T?"
houndstooth – If you buy that steamer, I expect to see photos and a video on your blog! š
Pamela – Ah, Pikachu. I think that was a little after my time, although I have some friends who are huge fans.
That Monopoly game makes me want to go watch the Princess Bride right now. Watch out for the ROUS!
Colbert is genius… so many good puns in there. Did you see the one where he made a "Breaking Baaaaa" joke? I couldn't stop laughing.
Hi Y'all,
Thanks so much for the great links!
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Pup Fan, I'm not as pop culture-savvy as I once was–all those paw fumes have eroded mental capacity. Still enjoy your posts, though parts of them breeze right over my head!
Oh, how I love Fridays and your links š
Thanks, guys! š
And Kirsten – I couldn't stop giggling after I read the "paw fumes" part of your comment.
Could you seriously start your day each day with Lionel Richie? (Like if I was a hot tea drinker, I wouldn't want one too.) š
And I don't know about you, but I'm so wishing Snoop Dog would make a barking dog novelty record. One day…
FYI – My husband can quote 90% of The Princess Bride, therefore I've never actually seen the entire movie. He has actually ruined several movies for me that way. š
I could totally start my day with Lionel Richie asking me if I'm looking for tea. š
Snoop Dogg should so do that. Maybe when he needs more money…
You should so watch the movie anyway! Just don't watch it with him since he'll probably just quote it while you're trying to watch. š
The Lionel Richie thing is both funny and creepy at the same time… would be better without his head there.
I LOVE The Princess Bride! I would totally buy that set!
And I think I have to stop reading your Friday posts. Too much stuff to look at, not to mention time spent forwarding the links I think non-dog-blog friends might enjoy! š
That's a good point – just the pun without his face would be better!
I know – I wish that Monopoly game was real. I'd pretty much only be buying that for people's birthdays for the next year. š
Aw, don't stop! I'd miss you. I apologize for the multitude of links!
So much to comment on today! Where do you find the time to find all of this great stuff AJ?
Loved the Lionel Ritchie tea post. Loved!
Hakuna Marlena??? LOL! I remember that possessed episodes. Haven't watched it in years, but I swear it had jumped the shark at that point.
I'm passing on your cupcake recipe to my sister as we speak. She's the baker in my family and often makes fun little cupcakes. I think she's going to love making these. I just hope she saves me one. Yum!
I think I saw that picture on FB of the dachshund in the bun this week! I have to say I loved the first pic even better. Cat and human and just their legs. So funny.
BTW – Saw your interview over at Peggy's PLace. Nice! I learned so much more about you and Bella. She does not look 10 at all!
Mel – I think it means I spend too much time on the Internet. š
I think you're right about Days jumping the shark when it had the possession episodes. That's probably the last time I watched it regularly, but I still think of it fondly.
I hope the monkey cupcakes work out for your sister! š
She doesn't really act 10 either – she's still just as silly as she always was (though I think she does sleep more now).
