QP#34 - I am amused easily, absurdly
I putting this down here because I still sort of smile when I think about it. Yesterday, on my way to karate class, I was listening to my iPod and an instrumental song began to play. It was Chuck Mangione's "Feeling Good" - ah yes, AM Radio Gold... Anyway, I started "singing" along by making cat noises. If you care to imagine: Meow, meow, meooooow, mew, mew, mew, mew, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meooow.* (* you need to imagine actual song as well). Of course that sort of degenerated into me making cat in heat noises. I was thoroughly amused with myself. I got to giggling, then chuckling, then laughing, then laughing so hard I started tearing up.
Later, I got to thinking about why that made me laugh so hard and then I remembered why it struck such a nerve with me (and I started laughing again). A long time ago, my friend Scott and I were talking about Mr. Rogers and he said his favorite character was the cat. He then in his deep bass voice imitated the speech pattern of the character by adding "meow meow" randomly to whatever he said. It was pretty funny at the time.
I don't know. I just thought I'd share that.
THAT IS ALL
