Campers, It's Cold Out There

I discovered the clicker, the silver-colored Comcast clicker, which recently replaced the old style black plastic clicker similar to the one in the family room, in a remote corner of the bed. The clicker, a new digital style with a built-in microchip brain, in self-preservation mode, slipped down to the end of the bed and plunged over the southwest corner, only to be concealed in the tucked-in sheet. The clicker has been returned to service without further incident.

Temperature: Like -5 C
Window Condition: Open
Fan Operation: Running on Medium speed
Dog Position: Under covers

I broke out the Joe Boxer flannel boxer shorts, choosing the light-blue-with-dogs-that-look-like-pit-bulls print and a heavy Old Navy corduroy shirt because little tiny snow flakes are falling.

I wish we would have seen Finding Nemo on the big screen. The J-Dogg is away for the weekend; so, we picked up the movie at *shudder* Blockbuster. Very cool, except were we supposed to like that Marlin dude, the father? Couldn't they find someone other than Albert Brooks? I was rooting for the sea gulls near the end. And Crush was the best. Dude.

So, I will make the trip cross-county, wondering if there is snow at higher elevations, to Krispy Kreme, which is becoming something of a Saturday morning habit for somebody. I am ready for the sugar rush, bringing a Diet Mountain Dew along to wash it down. You gotta cut down where you can.

Thank dog you found it. I was worried that we would have a full scale war of outrageous proportions flaring up. You could always buy a cheap cell phone to tie around it and when you loose The Clicker, you can just phone it.

Or a cheaper cordless and when you lose it, just page it. Good idea, Michelle! But you have to remember to keep it charged, then... Hmmm.

Just be glad it isn't like the clickers in Runaway. Those "evil chips" get me every time.

...we need to pick more popular movies to allude to. Not that I really know whether or not Runaway (1984, Tom Selleck, Kirstie Alley. Sgt. Jack Ramsey is a cop who doesn't like to follow orders, and must fight robots programmed to do one thing -- Kill!) was a popular movie. I was 3 for chrissakes. Just lay off, okay!? God!

As it had a built-in microchip brain, how come it got lost?
