Now THAT title should earn me some interesting Google search hits. **
Home again after a fantastic night of pineapple ingestion (and digestion), merriment and such at the Greeblemonkey home. Much delight was had with Inherent Passion, Shoes and Pie, and other ladies whose blogs I can't find at this late hour (boo!).
Bloggers know how to party. Secret: bring a pineapple corer/slicer and a pineapple to each and every party you are invited to. Shoes and Pie is the smartest party attendee ever.
I hope I was more sparkly and lively than I felt. I was feeling down and out, but the party lifted me up. Yay for that.
In addition to tonight's extravaganza, we had a great weekend. Yesterday, we traveled to the zoo and signed up for a year's worth of membership. I think I'll take Amos to the zoo during the weekdays so that he can ogle the monkeys. That boy likes him some monkey, let me tell you what.
Primates and higher primate. Just before this pic, one of the monkeys chattered at Amos then slapped the glass at him.
Learning that Mother Nature has a cruel sense of humor. All around us were older kids saying, "Look at their BUTTS!!"
Hope your weekend was fantastical.

** The title of this post refers to a moment when I mentioned to Shoes and Pie that one of the many Google searches that leads to my blog is for Frederick Lamont, the well-endowed man who played Mandingo in the porn of the same name. I swell with pride over that little gem. Pun intended. Thankyouverymuch. Here is the offending post (see the comments especially). In a weird switch-'em-up, before the Frederick Lamont searches, people were searching for "mandingo" and hitting my blog because of this post. It's a never-ending revolving door looking into another door kind of kooky world, this Google searching! Wacky!
And yes, if you attend a party where my body is resting, this is exactly the kind of bleeding-of-the-mouth conversation you will hear from me. You've been warned.
5 beautiful people muttered something back:
I was feeling down for my own, much lesser, reasons, and it cheered me so much to see you and meet your boys, short and tall. Hooray!
I'm pretty sure "Mandingo Eats Pineapple" was the less successful follow-up to the original "Mandingo." A catchy title, sure, but who really wants to watch a guy with a big unit chow down on healthy, tropical fruit? Although "pineapple corer" would be a good euphemism for Hawaiian weinies.
I guess "Amos Looks At Big, Red Asses" would also be a bad porn title.
Heh, that's funny! A couple years ago, my then-boyfriend and I would use 'Pineapple' as a code word for 'let's go make out.'
I guess pineapple just brings out that side of people :P
That Amos sure is cute. We should have a party every day just so we could invite him. His parents aren't too shabby either...:-)
Haha! At least the monkeys were behind glass. We took Neilen to the rainforest exhibit in the Dallas World Aquarium, and one furry little primate stuck his primate parts THROUGH the wire enclosure and proceeded to pee in our general direction. Luckily, we moved quickly and pushed Neilen's stroller to safety.
One joke that never dies with us: "Hey, that baboon's got the red ass!"
I have had the nickname "Mandingo" tossed at me a few times in my life. Now I'm wondering what exactly they meant. Should I be flattered?
Also, I didn't get the memo that Amos is walking. Is he? When did this happen? He sure is growing up. I feel like I'm in a time warp. What a cute little feller, awww.
