A Bubbly Hula...

We opened a bottle of bubbly...and started dancing the Hula...everybody join the fun...

Whatcha got under that skirt, Rattus?

TeaRat: Woo-hoo! Yay for Rattus! Way to let your fur down.

Rattus: Sure, I know how to Carpe Diem. I'm not a trapezoid like you think.

TeaRat: Square.

Rattus: No, not square as in honest and fair-dealing. I mean trapezoid as in out of style, stuffy, strait-laced.

TeaRat: Whatever. OK, you're not trapezoid.

Rattus: Right arm, bro. See, I'm rib.

TeaRat: Hip.

Rattus: Oh, don't you just know everything.

TeaRat: It's not rib. The word is "hip" as in chic, mod, cool, trendy, up to date, popular, with it, hunky-dory, smashing...

Rattus: …I like "rib" better. I'm rib.

TeaRat: Whatever. What do you want to tell our readers?

Rattus: "Pehea 'oe?" That means "What's up?" in HI-WHY-HEEN.

TeaRat: Hawaiian.

Rattus: Pehea 'oe, Nowhereians. Komo mai kau mapuna hoe. That means "Dip your paddle in." In other words, come to the luau party. It's an explosion.

TeaRat: Blast.

Rattus: Censure, complaint, denunciation, darn, what the devil?

TeaRat: NO. I mean…My dear Rattus, you mean to tell that you have already mastered Hawaiian but don't even know common colloquial slang in your native language like square, hip and blast?

Rattus: I know enough slang. Right arm.

TeaRat: On.

Rattus: About what?

TeaRat: Never mind. Say good by, Rattus.

Rattus: Aloha, Rattus.

Finding a Good Milliner

Little did Tea Rat know that a milliner is a seller of WOMENS' hats....but that 

didn't stop him from escorting Lily the Bear , his new and lovely little friend, to

the Easter Parade in Nowhere!

Happy Spring EVERYONE!
