We have squirrels in our development. Zander sometimes runs into the window trying to chase them.

His eyes get all wide, his tail begins whooshing, and then ... thud.

One time he almost popped out the screen when the window was open. (One time he did pop out the screen, and he was on the second floor, and went flying out the window).

For those old timers, it was like the dog Murray chasing the mouse in Mad About You.

Happy Humping!

Wasn't that the title of an Ethel Merman musical in the 50s?

Good morning, kiddles.

'Morning!

OK, back to ME. I took an ethnicity DNA test on Ancestry.com a while back. I got the results this morning:
Scandinavian 64%
British Isles 21%
Eastern European 15%

I expected the British Isles, but SCANDINAVIAN????? No French?
Mom has a lot to explain!

Uhm, "Hagrithe" is of Scandinavian ancestry. Just sayin'

New line inserted about her: "I'd like to smack the smug smirk off that trust-funded Scandinavian puss of hers."

I kind of like alliteration in an insult.

Leif Erickson landed in what is now Newfoundland. Start digging deeper.

I can buy that, but where's my Frecnhy genes? My brother will be deeply disappointed that there's no Metis (French Indian) blood - he was counting on opening a casino.

I'm at a standstill on the Native American bloodline myself. We know it's there -- you just have to look at my mother and my cousin to know that -- but Jacques and Bedard are just too freaking common in Quebec.

Yeah the Landry fam married into the Micmacs through several generations, which is why I'm surprised there was no genetic link to the tribe. Same deal with the Emonds. Unless the tribe bloodlines have been sullied by those lutefish-eating explorers to the point where their own markers have vanished.

My mom better have a good explanation and it better not have to do with shopping at IKEA.

Hey, Moony, maybe we're related by marriage!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 8:47am

No offense, but I'd rather not be related to Haggie.

[D2]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 8:51am

Neither would I.

But I do have French genes. Just sayin'

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 8:56am

Well, apparently I don't!

[D2]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:04am

But you do have the French surname.

[MotorTink]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:07am

Come sit by me at the non-French table, Moony. We have beer.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

"But I do have French genes"

Those 1980 Jordache's you have in the back of the closet, and still think you'll wear again, do not count.

Okay, I probably deserved that, but you're still in deep merde, SoMMS.

When and if I catch up to you.

I need to listen to ABBA more.

And eat Swedish Meatballs.

[D2]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:21am

Duly noted.

[MotorTink]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:23am

The swedish meatballs in the Ikea cafeteria are highly rated....

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:24am

I love the lingenberry juice at IKEA. Uh oh.

[D2]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:30am

Road trip!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 10/3/12 at 9:47am

This is my sister. Does she look Scandinavian to you? Oh crap. Pass the ligonberry juice.
