does corky ever sing? hear a small voice singing 'somewhere out there ...'
Actually some mice do sing, it's a weird thing they do apparently as most other rodents just play musical instruments or put on really bad recreations of Broadway plays... (Come on, "Cats" starring rats?... gimme a break...)...

Granted those mice tend to stick to folk songs and ballads, but regardless it's kinda cute.
Alas, Corky's talent isn't a beautiful rendition of Linda Ronstadt/James Ingram's bittersweet tune... She chose the electric guitar instead.
And you know the saying "If you give a mouse an electric guitar..."
Little known fact... The Deer Mouse is a huge devotee to heavy metal...
So, unfortunately since mice, especially Deer Mice are nocturnal, I had to take away her tiny little electric guitar...
I mean I do enjoy Megadeath and Iron Maiden, I don't feel 3am is an appropriate time for it...
Its not as bad as hamsters with their saxophones or guinea pigs with their trombones, but it's still disturbing late at night.
Oh, set yourself reminders then!
Wait, you gave her a car? And she wrecked it? What did THAT do to your insurance rates? Did the Gecko come over himself and tell you to stop letting your rat drive your car?
Dude, we need to talk. If you're using a cheap BIC and goopy foam for shaving, we need to have a conversation. The ONLY way to shave is to use a real cream that you whip up with a badger-hair brush. Hot water, pre-shave oil, and a lathered up face full of real shaving cream is absolutely AMAZING to shave with. I don't shave but once a week with Covid, but when I do, I do it right and it always starts my day off right. Then a hot shower, tooth brushing, and flossing later, I'm ready to take on the world.
I shave my head too, and it always feels amazing afterward!
Ladies, you should do this for your legs too. Real shaving cream, a sharp single-eged blade, and a sinkfull of hot water. It'll make you forsake your religion and immediately re-adopt it, lol!
That's easy: He'd hog all around all the ground a groundhog could hog, if a groundhog could hog ground, around and around.
And he'd do it out loud, too!
Well I see your problem: She's playing a Marshall Stratocaster. Marshall makes amplifiers! Even the lowliest Fender Squier would probably be better! If you really loved her, you'd figure out how to to upgrade her to a Jackson Strat with a whammy bar and locking tuners so that her guitar would return to correct tuning after her solo dive-bombing during the bridge of the Van Halen song, "Hot for Teacher".
And if you wanted to see her play in the big time one day when Alvin and the Chipmunks finally get to tour with Trans Siberian Orchestra or the travelling Circue du Soleil shows, then you'd realize that her potential knows no bounds and you'd just go all out and get her a custom axe made personally by Paul Reed Smith himself!
Rock on, dear Corky, rock on! Don't let that bad mouse daddy tell you you're not good enough for the big show!
It seems something uploaded. The penguin mug has coffee in it. I'm dunking the cookies into coffee before I destroy them.
c'est dolce. omg he so adorable.
Look at the size of his honker!! Hawt.
So a few minutes ago, I walked into the kitchen, took one sniff and said, "who's making a pizza in my kitchen?"
It's really odd because I'm the only one with a key and combination to the front door, burglar system, and automated booby-traps. There shouldn't be any pizza-making going on in my kitchen unless I have commissioned it.
Well, I saw then that I had left a green pepper, half an onion, and the bag of hot dog buns out on the counter from my kielbasa-cooking earlier. Is that all it takes for me to think "Pizza!" is the smell of green peppers, onions, and any ol'e bread?
Damn, I've been spending way too much on cheese, pepperoni, and sauce my whole life! And worse yet, I could have been having pizza on hot dog buns all this time! Imagine the opportunities lost...
Ugh. I hate it when someone dumps 20 pics in the gallery all at once.
..one of the reasons I miss the old galleries. That never heppened then
I'd be stunned if he couldn't. It's not a very challenging piece.
Why, why, why didn't I get the roses as my freebie? I've had my eye on them for ages. Instead, I got some shaders. Talk about buyer's remorse.
so far i been sticking to my rule of no shopping at night. no more cart price jumping aggravations
Non-complaint: Music to DAZ by. While slumming through YouTube I ran across a little heard piece by Arthur Sullivan. You know..., the Sir Arthur Sullivan of "Gilbert & Sullivan" fame.
The guys that wrote those late 1800's English comic operas. "The Mikado", "Pirates of Penzance", "Ruddigore", "H.M.S Pinafore", "Iolanthe", "Princess Ida", etc. Gilbert wrote the plot & libretto (words) but Sullivan wrote the music. Sullivan always wanted to be taken as a serious musician and actually did finally write a symphony, but mostly he's remembered for his stage work with Gilbert. (Apparently it paid better!) There's an excellent and entertaining movie about their relationship during the creation of probably their best work, "The Mikado". The problem with Gilbert & Sullivan operas is that with few exceptions, once you've seen one, there's not much use in seeing the others. Even "The Mikado" has recognizable schticks & melodies. They're like an aging formulaic TV sit-com that has "Jumped the Shark"... i.e. nothing new to see here. The three most remembered of their comic operas are "The Mikado", "HMS Pinafore", and "The Pirates of Penzance".
The movie about Gilbert & Sullivan was "Topsy Turvy".
But I've strayed from my purpose here. I came to introduce you to the little heard piece "Pinapple Poll" by Sullivan, like most of his works with Gilbert it is a mish-mash of snippets from his opera music. Apparently "Pinapple Poll" was a ballet and the entire thing can be found on YouTube if you're masochist enough to listen to it all the way through, but the introduction and the finale are all you really need to hear. And really you can survive without listening to the finale.
Sir Arthur Sullivan: Pinapple Poll (introduction)
And for the truly interested with nothing else to do today, here's an abridged film production of "The Mikado" from 1939 with half decent closed captioning (except for the lyrics).
Don't get me wrong, I like the major Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas, especially "The Mikado". (Really! Take the time to see a good production of it sometime.
A scathing satire of government operations. The words, the words, very important. Turn on closed captioning if you have to. But pay attention to the words! Very poignant and funny if you speak 19th century English. And please ignore the Japanese setting. Accept that it's not politically correct and that it's nearly 150 years old. But it's not about Japanese, it's a disguised way to criticize British bureaucracy & aristocracy and still draw an audience without getting shutdown.
And if you still have trouble with the words, you can find the lyrics to all the songs on the Internet https://genius.com/albums/Gilbert-and-sullivan/The-mikado
However, the best productions of Gilbert & Sullivan's operas were performed by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from the time they were written, until several decades ago, but the recordings I can find are poor quality and the sound combined with the heavy British accent, extremely rapid speech, and outdated words make appreciating the words difficult if you don't already know the story or have the lyrics in your hands or are British, or were born 3/4 of a century ago.
Pineapple Poll is a mish-mash of snippets from other works, it was created by Sir Charles Mackerras (in 1951, apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple_Poll ).
I also had a chance to talk about the movie "Topsy Turvy" which if not entirely accurate about G&S's relationship, was at least entertaining and showed most of the good bits of The Mikado.
Good morning everyone! Still in bed gathering the willpower to get coffee. The cats are getting restless though. They want cuddles and treats. They've been alternating between tapping my face and zooming around the house. I had better hurry.
I just proposed a very painful deal on Neonmob. The card I want only has 400 copies and almost no one owns dupes because it's such a pita to get. So apparently I have to part with my number 64 variant (rare and valuable but unlimited so not that valuable) AND an extra rare Drowning card to get it... Ouch ouch ouch!!!
My brain is draining.
Got out of bed to discover that someone has gotten into my underwear drawer and strewn them all across the bedroom floor.
I'm guessing it was Bubba. But maybe it was house elves. Those house elves can be feisty.
Looks more like your brain has walked out on you.
But at least your brain seems to have resided in your head. Some men have their brains in the area of their pelvis, and "draining the brain" has an entirely different meaning.
I'm hoping Bubba is one of your cats or at least someone you know and not a peepie neighbor or stalkie stranger whom you've assigned the name Bubba to until the authorities apprehend him for underwear displacement.
Bubba is my little demon furbaby. His hobbies include bothering his sister and getting into drawers (sometimes literally- he thinks they're cozy). Also, stealing seats and knocking stuff off tables.
Complaint: Crappy short device or appliance cords... it used to be 3ft / 1m was the norm, which itself is barely adequate in like 75% of the situations, but now I'm constantly coming across 2 ft / 60 cm or less.
Cords on anything are a pet peeve of mine, at the design studio I last worked at, we were big on designing products like they had cords and would always incorporate some manner in which to store the damn cord... The guy who owned the place and me both had huge contempt for products that were designed like the cord wasn't part of the item... You can always tell when someone designed something like it didn't need a power cord, because the stupid cord always sticks out like an awkward afterthought, dangling and getting in the way and making it impossible to carry or store.
