Simply Red Squares – Odd Mannequins

For Becky’s challenge:

Red Hints and Reflections

It’s time for the Square challenge again! This time the prompt is anything Red, and the only rule is the photo you use Must be Square! It’s a lot of fun to see what everyone comes up with. 🙂

Here’s a couple more funny mannequins I saw at that shop in the DFW airport. These are a longhorned steer and a cow, standing upright dressed  in jeans and T-shirts of red, white, and  blue and the words Texas, and Don’t Mess With Texas.

Contest of Whatever – CoW – November 31

 

The Tenth Annual Contest Of Whatever!

***

Every year Evil Squirrel, at Evil Squirrel’s Nest holds a fun contest. It’s called the Contest of Whatever CoW!

The topic which is supposed to be included this year is November 31.

We can post anything we want just as long as this date is included somehow.

Otherwise … whatever~ YAY!!

An actual cow – ha ha

I’ve participated several times, but sadly have never won a prize. Yes, prizes are given out … one for the winner of the contest and one for the random draw.

Anyway it’s lots of fun.

Here’s my entry, such as it is.

Introductory song: The Shirelles singing “31 Flavors”

***

Neat song, huh! What if November actually had 31 days, and each day had a theme and a flavor and a color?

Intermission: Popcorn, peanuts, sausage on a stick, don’t eat too much or you’ll get sick.

Free photos of Carnival

Opening act now will perform some stand up comedy jokes.

Squirrel Jokes:

What do you call a fight between squirrels? … A squarrel!

What is a squirrel’s favorite way to watch TV? … Nut-flix!

Why is it a bad idea to work for squirrels?

They pay peanuts!

***

Now for the main event … a poem about this most unusual day …

31 days has November
and if a tree falls in the woods
you won’t remember
because this day is like no other
you might want to stay
under your cover
Beware the Ides come rushing in
riding on leaves blown in the wind
howling and yowling with frost on their breath
you feel they bring a harbinger of death
So don’t be complacent, just be on your toes
watch with your eyes, and smell with your nose
hear with your ears, and use your brain
November 31 willllll be here again!

8th Annual Contest of Whatever – CoW 2021 – Big ‘ol XXX

8th Annual Contest of Whatever – C o W 2021 – Big ‘ol XXX

This time last year I had this C o W post ready to go, and then … Murphy struck big time.

But I saved it … I didn’t XXX it out – now here it is 🙂

Big ‘ol X in the sky

The Eighth Annual Contest Of Whatever!

The Seventh Annual Contest Of Whatever!

In case you’re wondering, this is a fun contest hosted by the Evil Squirrel’s Nest. You can find out more by clicking the above link.

Last time the Topic was Murphy’s Law … This year it is X.

Black & White cow logo for C o W contest

Pink framed chalkboard says ‘Chompers Choppers’ (yes, I forgot the apostrophe) and a toy motorcycle with a squirrel riding on it

***

Murphy’s law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”.

Click to view

Chompers the Chopper riding squirrel was having a bad day.

Chompers got his name because he was always chomping on nuts. He was the champ chopper.

Now Chompers rode his Chopper Motorcycle like a champion chopper rider should. He rode around looking for the best nuts to chomp.

But, this was a crappy day.

“Cowabunga!” Chompers said, and his false choppers fell out of his mouth. Yeah, he wore chopper dentures – you know, he’d worn out his real teeth on all those hard nuts he’d always cracked.

Click to view

He turned on the standing light, so he could find his choppers that had fallen to the floor. But, as he did, the plastic cone shaped shade crumbled into a cazillion pieces.

“Cowabunga!” Chompers said again. Now what?

Well, he went to the kitchen to find a knife to repair the light with. But, he couldn’t find it anywhere.

“Cowabunga!” Chompers said again. “I must have accidentally thrown the knife in the trash. So he had to dig … and dig … and dig … Ewwww! But he found the knife.

“Cool!” Chompers said as he held the knife up. But, then he dropped it and it stabbed his toe.

“Cowabunga!” Chompers said again, as he hopped around dripping blood all over the kitchen.

As he hopped and bled, he stepped on his lost Chopper teeth in the floor, and broke them. But at least he found them.

Chompers finally managed to gather his wits, and hopped out the door to ride his Chopper. But which doctor should he see first? The one who would give him stitches for his toe, or the dentist to fix his Chopper teeth?

But, never mind – Murphy struck again before he could do anything. It snowed and was icy, and he couldn’t ride his  chopper.

But, never mind – He caught a cold or the flu, and didn’t feel like going anyway.

“Cowabunga!”

***

And then … and then … the flu (or maybe it was Covid? probably was) got him (me) sent to the hospital in an ambulance and had to stay there for a week! It was awful.

So then … everyone realized there was the virus and everyone had to stay home to be safe.

I didn’t get to post my entry last year so here it is … glad I didn’t X it out.

~note – most of this actually did happen~

Now enjoy this song!

World Record

It was time…time for the daredevil act of the century. If this stunt could be successfully accomplished, it would qualify as a historic page in the history books.

The contestant was back stage getting herself prepared. She scrubbed her face with an avocado paste, applied ‘Radiant Red’ lipstick, and braided her hair with ribbons. Being a Canadian citizen, she wore a white cape with a red Maple Leaf design stitched on. She felt ready to begin her flight into history.

The people from Guinness Record Books were there, too, to document this never before done trapeze act. It was a first to beat all firsts.

Gong Gong Gong

The hammer beat upon the gong to signal it was starting. The crowd was hushed in anticipation. Then, as the star of the day came into the arena, the loudspeakers introduced her to a rousing piano tune.

Mounting the specially made trapeze, she swung higher and higher, and even higher…and she let go! Soaring through the air as beautiful as a butterfly –

the cow jumped over the moon!

6th Annual COW – Contest of Whatever

Posted on by

Contest of Whatever

The Sixth Annual Contest Of Whatever!

***

In case you’re wondering, this is a fun contest hosted by the Evil Squirrel’s Nest. You can find out more by clicking the above link.

This Contest of Whatever is just that…make up something silly…whatever you want, but it needs to start out with this:

A squirrel walked into a bar…

The rest is up to you. There’s still a few days left, if you’d like to join in the fun. 🙂

***

A squirrel walked into a bar…

Looking around he asks Doc, the bartender, “Is the the COW place?”

The bartender shrugged. “Whatever you want…what’ll it be?”

Thinking a few moments, the squirrel asks for a Daiquiri with an almond in it.

Knowing they were fresh out of almonds, Doc the bartender puts a Hickory nut into the Daiquiri instead.

“Here ya go”, he says to the squirrel.

The squirrel takes a sip. He can taste the difference. Calling over the bartender again, he says, “I didn’t order a Hickory Daiquiri, Doc.”

Doc laughed and laughed. “Sorry, squirrel, this is the COW bar, and you’ll take what you get.”

Squirrel went berserk, just like he’d done in church the past Sunday.
