Another Friday is upon us… so you know what that means. It’s time to send you into the weekend with a smile!
- As always, we begin with a punny pet name. (It’s tradition, after all.) This week: Jason Beagle and Marshowl Erickson (see #5 below).
- I’ve decided to follow that up with a little shameless self-promotion. Check out the newest creation over at I Still Want Cupcakes. I’m considering a whole summer series inspired by ice cream… suggestions are welcome!
- Ice cream got me thinking about ice cream cones, which then led to me thinking about the cone of shame. So, um, what happens if your dog forgets he’s wearing a cone? Hilarity. (Cone of shame jokes are never going to get old, are they? Seriously, that stuff is timeless.)
- Stick with me here… it’s random train of thought day. (As are most days for me.) This video of a dog (and cat) on a scooter caused me to exclaim “Dogs… on… wheels!” when I saw it. (This video produced a similar reaction.) Which of course got me thinking about Dogs… in… Space, followed by Pigs in Space, which ended with me looking up the premiere date for the new Muppet movie. (November 23… I’m so there. Who’s with me? If you haven’t seen the trailers, I recommend you treat yourself by doing so now. The Muppets plus Jason Segal… I could not ask for more.)
- Talking about Jason Segal reminded me how much I loved his performance of “Dracula’s Lament” in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Of course someone made it into a video with the Count from Sesame Street… it’s things like this that give me faith in humanity. Okay, not really…. but I do have a particular fondness for the Count. In college my roommate and I would often just start counting Count-style (that was an odd phrase to type) for no reason whatsoever and break into fits of laughter. Those were the days.
- Whew… sorry for all the randomness. This is almost as bad as that day I shared my ramblings about Waldo the cat.
Finally, in conclusion… here’s a dancing tortoise:

After all that randomness, it just didn’t seem right to give you a video that was even remotely related to the disjointed ramblings above. (Besides, who doesn’t love a tortoise video set to a catchy tune?) Happy weekend!
HeeHee, love that video! Y'all have a terrific weekend!
I'm with you on the ice cream thing! I am watching my weight, but I won't give up ice cream!
People who wonder how I can live without television don't realize how much entertainment I can get from one Pup Fan post. 🙂
I looooooooooooooooove the Muppets. What a treat! I presume you've seen this Muppets outing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbNymZ7vqY
Peggy – I'm with you. I still have to find a way to work ice cream into my diet!
Pamela – Now you're just making me blush… could you be any nicer? Also – that Bohemian Rhapsody clip will never get old for me! I'm such a Muppets addict – when I grow up I want to be Statler and Waldorf. 🙂
i think i just woke The Other Half and Georgia up giggling over that vid! loved your train of thoughts. it was like a rambling stop and sniff walk through a mind 🙂
have a great weekend!
That looks like one very happy tortoise!

I love your randomness!!
Okay, wait… There is a new muppet movie coming out? How did I miss this news? I am so excited!! Sorry, I have to go watch the trailers now…
I also didn't know you had a cupcake blog! What a terrific idea. I used to love baking and I would do it all the time. Then I got a dog anow somehow I stopped. The last thing I made in the oven was tuna fudge. For my dog. Those lemon and blackberry cupcakes look and sound incredible. You might be what inspires me to get back in that kitchen!
Oh goodness BOL! Mom just howled at the butt wigglin turtle! Too hilarious!
Waggin at ya,
Roo
georgia little pea – I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Talking Dogs – thanks!
Kristine – I know what you mean. I wasn't doing much baking for a while but now I'm back into it again. The blog seemed like a good way to keep momentum, so I hope it works! 🙂
Roo – I know, the video cracked me up too!
Dat video wuz a fun one! Happy weekend! 🙂
Woofs and Licks,

Oh my! The cone of shame was definitely my fav! Hilarious!
I also stopped your new cupcake creation and I have to say that I better avoid it. I love cupcakes and just seeing the pictures nearly sent me over the edge! Yikes!
Hope you're enjoying your Saturday! Hopping a long now friend. 🙂
Excellent randomness!
Nubbin wiggles,

Your randomness makes my smile:)
Thanks for stopping by, guys… hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! 🙂
Ha ha ha ha! The Cone of Shame will NEVER get old! I couldn't believe there was no Pigs In Space video, though. My sister and I used to watch that and just roll with laughter, we even had the game for Atari. I feel so old just now!
I think you might be insane (and I would know). 🙂
Will totally see the Muppet movie. I watched every original episode on primetime TV and still watch Sesame Street sometimes. (Never cared too much for the Count, though. No, he sucked compared to Cookie Monster and Ernie.) 🙂
houndstooth – Neither the Cone of Shame nor Pigs in Space will ever get old for me either. 🙂
Elizabeth – Thanks! (I think… hehe.) I did love the Cookie Monster and Ernie, but my favorite was always Grover. (aka Super Grover!)
