Excuse me while I go look again at said joke to refresh my memory... teh "Joke" in Question--
Emi-chan...do you know you have a monk on yer' head....?
Emi-chan replies [with a smirk]: "No, but if you hum a few bars, I might be able to pick it up.....!" *Waggles her eyebrows at me like Groucho Marx, noda--causing Chichiri-chibi to slide off--*oops!*Sorry--just me "ancient" sense o' humor showing up again.....*A-heh* Assuming that you already know that Groucho Marx was a VERY popular comedian back in teh 30's, 40's and 50's, whose trademarks were a cigar, bushy eyebrows--and a LEER--this was one of his cornier jokes... Someone would ask him a question, phrased as if they were asking him teh tune of a song--which they WEREN'T!--and he'd say that, waggling his eyebrows at them so they'd KNOW they'd been had! USUALLY it was some pompous ass who would be asking him something obvious like, "Do you know how much you ANNOY me!?", so you can probably SEE now WHY that might be funny..... He did a lot of word jokes like that, some of them VERY funny, like--"When I was in Africa, I shot an elephant in my pajamas....[eyebrows waggle] HOW he got into MY pajamas I may never know!" and "Outside of a dog, a book is Man's Best Friend--Inside of a dog, it's too DARK to read!" --sometime, watch one of teh old Marx Brothers movies, like "A Day at teh Races" or "A Night at teh Opera", which are BOTH pretty funny--My favorite scene, from teh opera one, is when a stuffy old High Society Lady is shot from a cannon [don't ask!], and Groucho yells, "And there goes Seabiscuit!!!!"
Hope all this explanation helps......

Yeah... that helps... and now teh joke in question makes sense. Yeah... I'm not as "up to date" on older stuff like that... stuff that is WAY before my time.

*sigh* Pretty boys can be sooooo high maintenance... I haven't decided where I'm gonna keep Ghoon-Ham yet. Maybe I'll just shove him on teh couch with Dio and Luciola untill I can clean out my closet enough to make it habitable. *sighs* Tell me about it! I was lucky enough to have had space from when Alucard was set up in there. Of course, he didn't need a whole lot, so I had to add a few things and so on. I got a bit of help from one of teh Nyan Nyans too.

NOW you know why I just keep VA's! They're so much EASIER-ta' maintain--a lil' gruel, a cozy corner with cedar shavings and some gentle "petting" [*Hee, hee!*] now and then, and HEY! They're happy! [From teh closet]-- Stevie-Jay-Jay [he SUCH a cranky-puss these days, noda!]: "NO, we're NOT!!!" Mr. Crispin [who needs-ta' go on a diet]: "HEY! Where's my Marshmallow Sprinkles!!!!" Dobby-ku, arguing with "Sexy Lexy"--"It's MY TURN for a "session" with her, you Jerk! You're ALWAYS "hogging" her!" Robby-Bob [sticking his head out-a' teh door with a worried look on his face...]: "Do you have any Pepto? I think Honey is having Morning Sickness!" Mr. Crispin [STILL whining]: "But I WANT my Marshmallow Sprinkles!! I NEED my Marshmallow Sprinkles!!!" Johnny VA-SHnookums [whose LATEST "Escape Plan" is to DIG his way out, apparently--teh TWIT!]: "Um.....could I have another spoon for my gruel...? This one kinda' got....bent....*a-heh*" Fluffy-kins : "*SNARL, GROWL, SNAP!!!*"
Mr. Crispin [who's just been bitten]: "*OUCH!!!* HEY!!! ALL I wanted was a Marshmallow Sprinkle!!!!" ........
*SIGH!* What was I saying........?
Oh, Well...
[Goes back to petting Kirby-Woogums, who's happily lying on teh sofa with his head in me lap, stuffed full o' VA Treats and watchin' "InuYasha".......*sigh*]
Gooood Woogums...!Hey, I don't wanna be accused of mistreatment! So I make sure I take gooood care of my bishies. Besides, without proper care, they loose a bit of thier bishie shine!

Hey, I don't wanna be accused of mistreatment! So I make sure I take gooood care of my bishies. Besides, without proper care, they loose a bit of thier bishie shine! Well, as you can probably see, my VA's have gotten a bit "spoiled" with time, even if I DON'T keep them chained anymore [not even VA-SHnookums, tho' he's still not allowed to "roam" without supervision, naturally! I'm thinking of getting one of those doggy collars that *zap* him--"gently", of course!--if he wanders too far away, since teh other VA's are getting tired of taking him for "walkies" when I can't......]--besides having their own beds, now, all teh gruel they can eat--WITH Marshmallow Sprinkles if they've been good [EXCEPT Mr. Crispin, whose "Lo-ve-handles" were fast becoming "side cushions", noda!]--and more than enough......er...Lo-vin'....they also have a big aquarium for all teh goldfish they brought back from teh Chinese New Year's Celebration, a subscription to "VA Weekly" magazine (!), and permission to watch any of my growing library of anime DVD's as long as they don't damage them [it's pretty funny sometimes to listen to them "critique" each other's performances-- "Morrow, THAT line just SUCKED teh way YOU said it!" "Hey, is it MY fault teh translation didn't make ANY sense, Dobson!? And what about teh wimpy way you had Naraku deliver that "threat" to Sesshomaru, Huh!? LOOK! "Fluffy-k--", I mean KAYE is STILL giggling to himself!!!" They BOTH stare in amazement as "Fluffy-kins" bursts into ROARS of Laughter, noda!]

I was watching Armstrong on Fullmetal Alchemist last night, and thought of going after him on one of my little “hormone surges” hunts. Then up popped in my mind him saying “This is teh special wuv-making technique passed down teh Armstrong line for generations!”

Oh lordy! Another Marx Brothers fan! *honk honk* You, TOO!? Yay!!!! I'm NOT "alone"! Harpo was always MY favorite! Especially that one scene where he's endlessy pulling things from outta his pockets, INCLUDING teh proverbial Kitchen Sink!!! *CLANG!* [Did you know they did a similar scene with teh Doctor's coat pockets once, in one of Tom Baker's "Doctor Who" episodes?--only teh "punchline" was an APPLE CORE! AND a yo-yo!] CORRECTION:
Incidently, if anyone cares, it was "At teh Circus" where they fired Lady High-Falutin' "Seabiscuit" from a cannon--NOT "A Night at teh Opera", as I stated earlier to Emi-chan.....
Oops!
