I mentioned I sold El Casa Móvil De Pennington at some point in the recent past. And in so doing I took Kermit, my constant companion and co-pilot, from his perch in El Casa Móvil and brought him to his new home. This is what Kermie did best in the wayback while we were travelin' from coast to coast and border to border:
So... a problem arose now that Kermie has a fixed address. Where would he be most comfortable? And yes, we DID consider ensconcing him in The Tart but we already have one bit o' whimsy on The Dowager and putting Kermie in there MIGHT could result in Teh Cute Overload. He agreed... that would be too much and besides, he'd rather be with me all the time just like in Former Happy Days, Part Deux. (Or is that "Trois?") So he found himself perching in various and sundry places over the course of the past few weeks... like this:
Nothing seemed to fit... he didn't like hangin' out in the kitchen under the cabinets ("This is way too claustrophobic and I keep hitting my head!"), sitting on top of the lamp in the living room was uncomfortable ("My ass is burning!"), same for my desk lamp ("Aiiieee! This is HOT!"), the bookcase didn't work ("What am I? Just another nick-knack?"), it was too lonely in the bedroom ("You don't spend much time in here and it ain't very entertaining when you DO." But he seems to be happy enough here:
We shall see. That frog has a mind of his own.

| Yeah, I staged these pics for the post but Kermie DID live in all these places, for a while. Click to embiggen. |

Reminds me of when I was a kid, and Mom moved that damn flannel elf around the living room every night in December while us kids were sleeping.
ReplyDeleteIt was "mysterious." The pitch in her voice told us just how spooky it was...
Good times. Often I wish I was a little kid again...I would NOT take it for granted, or wish I could grow up fast. Did that once.
Did that once.
DeleteYeah, me too, he said... wistfully. Ain't it funny? But NOT funny ha-ha.
Yep!
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess his favorite music has gotta be Hip-HOP, right, Buck? :)
ReplyDeleteMeh. He listens to what I play for him and LIKES it. :-)
DeleteMaybe he needs to set in a window looking out.
ReplyDeleteHe can see out the living room window from where he's sitting, Lou.
DeleteSo, this is like Buck's version of Elf on a Shelf?
ReplyDeleteI had to google that, OG. Would you believe I'd never heard of that tradition? But Andy has... ;-)
DeleteIf you were on Face Book you would have seen far too many, though some are rather comical.
DeleteIt'll be a cold day in that hottest o' places before I go THERE.
DeleteThat was my first thought - Buck's Year Round Elf-on-a-Shelf. Which, those things are creepy. But Kermit - never creepy, always classy.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinkin' I need a Miss Piggy, too.
DeleteNow that could make things... interesting. Heh, Buck's x rated muppets on a shelf.
DeleteHeh. There's some blog fodder!
DeleteI'm thinkin' that position in front of the big flat screen means he sees a lot more of you, Buck.:-)
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah... literally, given he was pretty good about keeping his eyes on the road when we were travelin'.
