theBoy V Bookaboo

'I stomp my feet and I kick Bookaboo in the tummy and he fall down! Then I put blast-off pants on him and take him to slide world.'

'So, Chooky, are you saying you kick Bookaboo in the tummy then put blast-off rocket pants on Bookaboo and you're taking him to slide world and putting him on a slide and pressing a button?'

'Yes I press the button and he blasts off down the slide (makes rocket noise). Then a hook comes out and hooks off the blast-off pants and Bookaboo keeps going!'

I fully love that he factored in the need for a blast-off pants retrieval system.

As Bookaboo flew off I yelled out 'ARRRrrrggghhhh' until theBoy said 'thump' with deliberate glee.

I decided to have theBoy V Bookaboo out in a Google fight and I was pleasantly surprised (1) to see theBoy kicked Bookaboo's doggy butt. 

Go theBoy!

(1) Attention web/IT people. You know who you are. You lurk and watch but don't say anything. You should. I am very talented (1a). But was the placement of the hyper-link an optimal choice given the choice of words available? I'd introduced the concept and then SMACK in with the link as I indicated my reaction. Did that make you click? Or did it not? Did it work for you? Am I basically asking the same question twice? Bullshit or not?

(1a) I was involved in a joking back-and-forth email with a downstairs colleague and made sure in every email to be massively vain. I salted my talk with 'As you know I am very talented' or 'my compare is beyond reach'. That sort of fancy locker room pep talk you give yourself in the mirror before you have to speak to strangers. I find it self-amusing now and then to go all Tony Clifton and adopt an antithetical persona of brash overconfidence. Speaking of Tony Clifton and comedy in general if you admire me in any way—be it my handsome side-on profile fusion of Orsen Wells and Alfred -Hitchhock, my sense of rhythm or my bewitching gait—then I beg of you to give yourself over to the bosom of Marc Maron and Bob Zmuda as they discuss their lives and that of the departed Andy Kaufman. It's just over an hour and I think you will like it. Get thee to the nunnery!
