If you think I'm goofy, you need to meet my brother Mantel Man. Plus, it might explain a lot for you. Here's a recent Facebook conversation we had . . .
Mantel Man
is
wondering whether everything, even his home appliances, will be on
Twitter soon. I can just see the tweet from my toaster oven:
"@bathroomsink: I just heated up a bagel!"
Laurie LaGrone No one talks to @bathroomsink; he's pretty antisocial. Mantel Man Oh, like my toaster oven has tons of other friends: "@dvdplayer: Dude, Mantel Man just burned the cornbread!" Laurie LaGrone Wondering what your @medicinecabinet might have to say today?
Buddy Ray Sounds
like your place is possessed. I'll opt to stay at Brad's house during
my impending visit. But then again, maybe staying at a possessed place
would be kind of cool. Mantel Man Don't count on it, Ray. Brad's toilet is sending out frequent Tweets. You don't even want to know.Feel free to look me up and befriend me on Facebook, but be forewarned: I can get a LOT sillier than this.
Oh, Im so glad it isnt just ME, Miss Mel!

If things in my house started to Tweet everyone would know what an awful housekeeper I've become lately.

Laurie, you're as wacky as ever!

@Departmentofsillytweets: I think that with a government grant, I could make this conversation a lot more silly.

So funny!

I expect clever and witty when I come here; this post exceeded my expectations! There is so much potential to go long with this one.
Can Mantel Man come along to the next Blogfest?

@bigscreentv and @beerfridge haven't said a word...are they trying to pretend they're better than the rest of the house?

Oh, and? I'm totally friending you on FB.
Shade and Sweetwater,

Ahahahah...whew...hah...heheheh...
Thanks.
I needed a laugh.
I love your family. Can I marry all of you? Or be adopted in? I'm not funny, but I can cook. Wait. You have a cook. I can quilt! And crochet a cozy for anything. No kidding. I even crocheted an item for the male anatomy, once, and it was...erm..correct in every way....fitted, almost.
Ahem.
Anyway...I'm clever with my hands...wait...that doesn't sound right either. Dang. How about...I like doing laundry? Also, I have the Evil Genius, and even if I'm a yawn, he's freakin' brilliant.
Shade and Sweetwater,
K
