The artistic meme

1. Open paint.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Draw a cat.


Since I pretty much excelled at that, I did a Riv as well. I opened my eyes to change the colors but I think I did pretty good. Door handles and everything.

Tame, even if it wasn't short for that. If you're gonna go that way, then you gotta go all in, like... Limburger or Gorgonzola. Parmigiano-Reggiano seems a bit cliche for an Italian.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And mean. They gotta learn how to write it some day, remember. And Limburger's just asking to have a stinky kid. What about Stilton? That's not bad, 'cept with a name like that he sounds like he's grown up in Bel Air.

No. Your imaginary kid's name is Parmigiano-Reggiano Stra Vecchio, end of discussion. So what if it can't manage to spell it till it's fifteen. Totally worth it.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And when they're fifteen I'll make sure they know their Uncle Asher named them.

Fine by me.

God, you want my imaginary kid to get beat up in the school yard, don't you?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

There's always home schooling.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Beat up in the school yard, or friendless and lonely. Hmm, which one do I pick? Which one do I pick...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Get a dog too. That'll cover the friend thing.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And get fur all over my house? Are you a sadist? I don't want my kid growing up with a slobbering beast on four legs as their best friend and risk stunting their, y'know their...social skills and stuff. ...Did you grow up with animals as friends?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Why? You notice a problem with my social skills and stuff?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Your social skills are fine. Did you grow up with a slobbering beast on four legs as your best friend?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

My sister would rip your tongue out if she heard you say that.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Oh. I forgot about her. I guess if you didn't, you kinda do now.

This coming from the hamster whisperer.

Peter's not my best friend. And neither he nor Fraser slobber. Least not in public, anyway.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Just in private, then?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well, Peter doesn't. I can't speak for Fraser though. His daughter kind of does so maybe it runs in the family.

...I think that's a baby thing, not a weird-ass-Mountie thing.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

You might be right. She still has the weird Mountie stuff to pick up then. Actually, I'm pretty sure she licked my neck last time I held her, there was definite baby spit on it that hadn't been there before. Guess she inherited that.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

The weird-ass-Mountie licks your neck?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

What? No. No, he licks disgusting stuff. Like dirt. Probably licks K--never mind. The weird-ass Mountie has a name too, you know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

First name Dudley, last name Do-Right?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

With a Benny Fraser somewhere in the middle of that, yeah.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Gotcha.
