Thrashing awesome etiquette!

By on October 27, 2009 in Full-on Aural Assault Wednesdays, Monkeys!

Tuesdays is cheap movie night again. (I’m not sure how long it has been so, but I was surprised this summer to discover this quaint tradition has returned.)

Now, in case you plan on wading through the crowds to see some fine cinematic entertainment. (Your odds are low, actually, to see something fine, though if you lower your expectations enough, you may leave entertained. Recently, some movies have dropped below even the lowest of thresholds, leading some to posit the Fallacy of Lowered Expectations.)

Lowered expectations or not, there are certain polite behaviours that are expected of you, even in this Age of Incivility. And now, for the musical explanation:

Alltop and humor-blogs.com are exceedingly polite. Apologies for publishing the aural assault a day early.

Ask General Kang: Is it okay to have a family of rodents living in your beard?

Ask General KangAh, I get this question all the time.

The answer is an emphatic no.

The rule is: vermin are permitted, but they have to be smaller than your pinkie fingernail (and non-toxic).

In social situations, rodents (mice, rats and voles especially) can be quite off-putting, if only because they eat the tasty creatures that can make for a nice grooming session.

Quite often I’ll get together with General Coco and Major Bonzo, and our respective spouses; once Major Bonzo had a swarm of killer bees hiding in his goatee, and this was a real damper on the evening. (He was a colonel before this incident.)

Next week: My spouse has mutated into a 12-foot Gila monster. How should I introduce him at social occasions?

Humor-blogs.com is rife with gila monsters. Alltop has a iguana problem.
