Tee hee

Published February 4th, 2008 in Mostly a picture, Re: the lil' monkey.

Her first experience of a pun in print.

She’s noodling around, typing letters, pretend words, and such like. Feeling the extendo power of pressing a key and seeing a huge version of the letter pop into existence in front of her. (Arial Black, size 72 font, on a Word doc in landscape, set to tabloid extra size, and stretched to fill the screen.)

Then she types the letter “P” twice. Reads it out loud. Realizes that it sounds the same as — yep! — pee pee!

Keeps her tickled for a good two to three solid minutes.

“Pee pee, Baba! Pee pee!”

Soon as the Writer’s Guild strike is over I’m sending her to New York to write for Comedy Central.

A hearing means the lawyers for both sides will go argue before the judge. By March they'll have fully briefed the issue, meaning that the pro gay marriage folks will have submitted an opening brief, to which the anti folks will reply, to
    • Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Trying to think of a sentence Elmer Fudd might utter, in which he uses the word "squeed," but was really referring to "a long speech or piece of writing, typically one regarded as tedious." Which the final ruling might indeed be. I just hope I am inspired to squeal and pee at the
    • LookyDaddy commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying I'm trying to coin a new word: squeed. It is the past tense of when you squeal and pee a little at the same time. I had originally thought it applied only to the toddler set, or possibly the elderly, but for a brief moment as I read this, I thought it had the chance
    • Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Okay, Nancy Polikoff says that once the court hears arguments, it must issue a ruling within 90 days. Arguments are the hearing? In March? Or is the LA Times Court beat gal off? Is there a lawyer in the house?
    • Lesbian Dad commented on Breaking: Court will hear challenges to Prop 8* saying Maura Dolan, LA Times' gal on the Supreme beat, filed this at 2:16pm: "Prop. 8 gay marriage ban goes to Supreme Court." MARCH?! Hearing in MARCH?! That is SOOOOOOOOOOO after Obama's inauguration. A commenter over at Pam's House Blend reminded us that it took them six months, before, to make a decision. So.
