We’re ringing in the new year…

[Swishy swish, clinky clink, chatter chatter, cheer]

Betty’s swinging from the chandelier!

And Marv’s making pointless observations to anyone sitting near.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

Happy New Year!

Happy New Lemur, Patty S.

    OMG, it’s Nigel the Lemur and a lemur party!

    You have to go way back on the Internets to know about Nigel the Lemur. Google “alt.fan.lemur.” :D

      Is it a BYOL party?

        Excerpt from alt.fan.lemur FAQ (“Frinkquently Asked Questions):

        Legend has it that Lemurs love junk food. Specifically Hostess
        Twinkies, but also such things as generic snack cakes, cookies,
        deviled eggs, pigs-in-a-blanket, squirt cheese on crackers, etc.
        In other words, your average Lemur would be very content raiding
        the hors d’oeuvres line at a cheap wedding reception. Rumor has
        it that Lemurs occasionally fall victim to strange cravings, such
        as chocolate cakes with cherry pie filling and whipped cream on
        top… and sauerkraut! Sauerkraut on everything!!! Let’s not
        explore this subject any further.

        Lemurs like to eat. This they do well: it’s not uncommon for a
        Lemur to devour the entire contents of a candy machine in under
        ten hours. (Lemurs often can squirm inside the machine via the
        slots at the bottom, eat their fill, and then have trouble getting
        back out. vending machine repairmen often find engorged Lemurs
        sitting in a pile of Mounds bar wrappers looking woeful. The
        Lemurs are usually deported back to the Duke University primate
        home.) Lemurs are nothing if not pragmatic. A vending machine
        full of Mars bars down the hall from the office they’ve taken over
        is greatly preferred to one a few buildings away that contains
        Twinkies. Besides, those machines are usually long since cleaned
        out by those few Lemurs who do forage afar.

    Is that iocane powder I detect on my nose? I’ve spent the last few years building up an immunity, you know.

    Oh my lord – the last hover text had me grinning form ear to ear. I may now introduce the wee child (9 months old) to the Princess Bride. :)

    Also? “Alice in Wonderland:Lemur style” just makes me giggle. That’s all I could think of when I looked at this! Lemurs at the Mad Hatters tea party!
