See My Vest



Laura and I have been talking a lot recently about favorite Disney songs - dating back to the pit band at the HBS Show doing a medley of Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Mermaid hits - and her argument is that her favorite Disney song is actually See My Vest by Mr. Burns in the Simpsons.

I have to agree that this is definitely one of the best Simpsons songs EVER (maybe up there with SpiderPig) but I can't decide which one of Burns' items is my favorite. The top 3 are definitely:
1) Beret of Poodle (on his noodle)
2) Grizzly Bear Underwear
3) His loafers.... former gophers!

Anyway, this song has been stuck in my head for days, although we had many of the lyrics all wrong.

What Do Sheeps Sound Like?

Are you familiar with that special brand of silliness that manifests itself when you're really tired? The kind where even puns become super funny?

Por ejemplo: I realized this morning when I got up that our house guest Paul - who arrived after I went to bed - had already departed. I referred to us as "Ships that pass in the night" which when said in the vaugely Eastern European Balchy-from-Perfect-Strangers-esque voice Mike and I frequenly use when we're being goofy translates to: "Sheeps that pass in the night."

M: "What do you think that sounds like?"

Wait a beat...

L: "Baaa."

Hilarity ensues.

Aaand scene.
