rally
They say cats can sleep upwards of 20 hours a day. If this is true, then I am especially annoyed that two of Abby’s waking hours are during two of my sleeping hours.
The dishwasher at work was running when I made my lunch so I had two choices: a teeny, two-tined fork to use on my thick-cut pork chop, or a giant serving fork half the size of my head. I was going to say something to my coworker, but then realized she was eating her salad with a spoon. For the record, I chose the teeny fork. Its performance was less than satisfactory.
When I got to work this morning, there was a gigantic monster truck sitting outside my workplace. Sadly, the driver did not need branding help, but how cool would THAT have been? Off the top of my head, I can think of a bunch of new, awesome monster truck names: TireShredder, Ignition Point, Aluminator, Parking Break (misspelling intentional), Fender Bender, Spark Plug, Gear Shaft, Shock Absorber, Mudguard, Exhauster, and GloveBox. “Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!! Come see GloveBox at the Metrodome! Tickets are $10! BE THERE!!!”
What would you call your monster truck?
I have the same fury about my cats’ waking hours. Bitches. I know they save them up just to torment me.

Maybe you should wake Abby up constantly during your waking hours, just so she can see what it’s like.

DUDE TELL ME ABOUT IT. 4am is not an acceptable time to walk repeatedly across my face, CATS.

Ha! Off the top of my head I can’t come up with a single name for my monster truck. But that’s why I do not have a creative job.

Damn cats! Thankfully, mine go to sleep with us and wake up with us.
As far as a monster truck name, how about Thunder Blast or Death Treads? Oh! Oh! Airbag Fury!

It’s funny, there is a truck that is ALWAYS parked outside the 7-11 where I get my coffee, and in my head I call it the BAT Truck (Big Ass Texas Truck).
Yeah, I’m lame in the mornings before coffee. WHAT OF IT?

You are far, far, FAR more adept at naming phantom monster trucks than I. I can’t even compete. My personal favorite was the Aluminator. Nice.
And the cats? It’s totally a conspiracy. And don’t bother trying to keep them awake during the day in an attempt to get them back. We’ve done it a million times and it’s like they don’t even connect the dots to know why we’re doing it. And then they keep us awake again.

I once ate my salad with chopsticks because that was all I had in my desk drawer. So pathetic.
You’ll pay for the whole seat but you’ll only need THE EDGE!!!! ah, monster truck rally commercials.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t think of any monster truck names. Stupid scienc-y brain of mine. NO creativity at all.
Also…I think you should have used the fork half the size of your head…that would have been hard-core.

I would never have a monster truck, so the question is moot. My niece, however, loves to set the table with the giant serving fork and spoon at my place setting. She thinks it’s hilarious. And, I suppose, is sending me a message…
