I'm going to see the Black Keys October 9th! Woot! It will be at an outdoor amphitheater sitting on a blanket underneath the stars! Totally awesome!!!!
It's my friend's birthday this weekend, so I am going to Cleveland for dinner and some drunken bowling. I was thinking about wearing a dress, but beer+dress+bowling balls may make for some pretty interesting scenarios that I won't care to remember the next day. We'll see.
Picking up the rats next weekend! :) We still are stuck on names. Eddie and I have done some brainstorming, but haven't picked anything yet. Any ideas on good female rat names? Maybe I will call mine Mrs. Brisby after the mouse from secret of NIMH. I used to love that movie when I was a kid.
The other day I was on Yahoo news when I read this article. Breast milk ice cream? Gross.

Black Keys! (I think that's all I need to say on the topic.)
Drunken bowling! (Ditto.)
But one thing bears to be said: it's Frisby not Brisby! A rat would be really insulted by that kind of mistake. Never speak to you again.
Yeah, Brisby is the guy who runs Brisbyland and drew Bizzy Bee, you know, from the Venture Bros. :)
You know I just googled it, and I found it spelled both ways on wikipedia...hmm.
Mark-!!!!!!!!! :) I agree.
Mark and Winter-In the book her name is Mrs. Frisby. Apparently due to copyright concerns (the name bearing similarity to a popular plastic toy), they changed it to brisby for the movie. So there you be.
So which one do I use? The name from the book, or the one from the movie?
You have more than one rat, right? Use both names. Frisby & Brisby!
Well, a purist would chose Frisby, but more people have probably seen the movie than read the book and would get the reference if you used Brisby, so I guess it depends on hom many people you plan on introducing your rats to. ;)
ah, the lovely mrs lebowski.
don't pee on the dude's carpet.
Mark-Hmmm. brisby and frisby might be too confusing! They won't know what's going on, and neither will I! But I guess that's not unusual! :)
Winter-Yeah, I probably will end up naming mine something else. We'll see.
Billy-Lol. I love that movie! Luckily for my friend, all peeing took place in the restroom.
