Just as a small aside to the other wonderful things I have to write. Here is a little glimpse into what may or may not go on in my head at any given time......
It was Christmas Eve and a group of family members were on their way to come and celebrate the season with us (in kid speak this means "open presents a day early" and in adult speak this means "another excuse to eat shitty food and drink beverages"). It was decided early in the planning stages that this would be an appetizer night since we were all due to be eating the carb mother load the very next day. Of course no appetizer night is the same without a trip to Costco for extra large boxes of frozen regret. This is where it was decided that breaded calamari might be fun (Seriously, can you all read between the lines on this one? Who makes their own breaded calamari? That shit has to be fried beside the french fries and mac and cheese balls for the optimum amount of grease and artery hardening properties!) Well if I don't read the fine print on the box (see pic below) just before loading them in the oven and see the most magical, happy rhyming words I have ever seen! This made my entire night! Say it with me:
Rings & Tentacles!
Isn't that the funniest thing you have ever read/said out loud! I must have said this amazing phrase a million times over the next few days. Every time someone asked me a question I added a "Rings & Tentacles" to my answer (In my head of course. If it had been out loud I would be writing this from a padded room. Obviously.) I actually found myself singing this phrase over and over. If I ever take up meditation this will be my Ohmmmm phrase, which in hindsight might not be a good idea because I can't help but laugh every time I say it! Might just name my next cats Rings (who will obviously have stripes) and Tentacles (physical properties of this cat are currently eluding me, mostly because when I hear the word tentacles I, of course, think octopus so....)
Anyway, watch for a Rings & Tentacles Day. It could happen.

ACTUAL box of calamari!
Which were gross. If you want to kill
yourself eating this stuff
go to a restaurant. Might just as well
order the fried mac and cheese
balls too! No wait!
EAT VEGETABLES
