Calla's Third Post

I am not lying about the Ghost Bands. . . (That is what this post should be titled. Instead it is titled Calla's Third Post.)

So really, I thought you might like to know about the Ghost bands. . . (Not that there is a you since no one reads this.) John Allison made the ghost band. The ghosts are orange and they sing about stealing ambulances and crashing them into lakes. One of them looks depressingly sad in a humorous sort of way. I am not lying. This is all for real. You can even ask John himself. John@scarygoround.com is his e-mail address. Basically this ghost band is one of three things that are the funniest things ever. I will break out in hysterics when I see this orange band on my dark green shirt.

I will also laugh a lot a lot a lot from something I once read on wikipedia. Since wikipedia is all the time edited, I saved this sentence from it in a text edit titled "funny like a ghost band" so that it would always be safe. This is what it says: This was the first game created by Bradley, a successful lithographer, whose major product until that time was a portrait of Abraham Lincoln with a clean shaven face, which did not do very well once the subject grew his now-famous beard. Right now I am laughing so hard. Oh my Oh my Oh my. That is the strangest sentence!! AH I love it! It is in reference to (ASIDE: Tabby is telling me to stop laughing. He gets annoyed when I laugh like this unstoppable.) the Game of Life.

The third thing that is funny is lost forever. It is a picture my younger brother drew when we was in eighth grade. It is supposed to be a business card for his occupation as a painter. (ASIDE: This SAVES ALL THE TIME. WOW!) He had to do it for art class. Basically it is a picture of what appears to be a short man of Mexican heritage with the words "Tu Necesitas Un Pintor?" "Yo Soy Pintor!" The man in the picture was wearing an oversized sombrero. As I think about it now, maybe he wasn't short. He just looked short in his giant giant hat. Basically that is beside the point. The point is I pictured a midget running around on the street pulling at people's shirts to get their attentions and yelling, "Tu necesitas un pintor!? YO SOY PINTOR!" –– yelling like he was a superhero or something unfathomably amazing like that. Seriously. . . this picture made no sense. For years to come my brother only had to do so much as look at me, raise a fist in the air, and calmly say, "I am painter" for me to lose it. I don't know where the picture is. . . but man that memory is thoroughly great.

Hmmm. . . what else? Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is full of highly entertaining songs. You should watch it on the internet.

Love, Calla and YES MY KITTIES ARE BOTH IN THE ROOM!!

This picture is funny too! She's saying, "Get your butt outa my face please!!!"
