Day 68: Alice the mammal has ? humps

1/31/2014

The fourth and final installment of our "according to children's songs" set examines the mysterious metamorphosis of "Alice the Camel":
Alice the camel has five humps, Alice the camel has five humps, Alice the camel has five humps,
So ride, Alice, ride. Boom, boom, boom!
Alice the camel has four humps...
Alice the camel has three humps...
Alice the camel has two humps...
Alice the camel has one hump...
Alice the camel has no humps, Alice the camel has no humps, Alice the camel has no humps
'Cause Alice is a horse, of course.

Part 4: Evolution according to children's songs. Alice the 5-humped camel ---> Alice the horse

Evolution? Spontaneous mutation? Close encounter with a Greek god?

Day 67: I'm all ears...

1/30/2014

Continuing with our theme, day three depicts "Do Your Ears Hang Low":
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Part 3: Ears according to children's songs: Low, Wobbley, Knotted, Bowed Soldier [with accompanying picture examples]

This song originated on Ferenginar

Day 66: Fill in the blanks

1/29/2014

Part two of our "according to children's songs" series is based on the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes":
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
And eyes, and ears, and mouth, and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Part 2: Anatomy according to children's songs [picture of half-drawn man saying

It's really hard to do the accompanying hand motions without hands...

Day 65: Reach for the sky

1/28/2014

So this is the first in a four-part series illustrating silly children's songs. It was inspired by "There Are No Bananas in the Sky":
There are no bananas in the sky, in the sky
There are no bananas in the sky
There's a sun
And a moon
And a coconut cream pie
But there are no bananas in the sky, in the sky!

The world according to children's songs: Part 1 [picture of sun, moon, and pie looking smug as they float above the landscape, with a sad banana blocked by a sign saying

I can almost hear an audible "harrumph" coming from that pie

Day 64: C'est pour toujours

1/27/2014

Inspired by James Taylor's song, "Ananas."

We work well together because my husband's such a ham

Bonus Note #4 (Not Quite SFW)

1/27/2014

So, this is a bonus note because it is slightly scandalous. *shock* ::gasp:: faint

It only makes sense when sung to the tune of this song by Sean Cullen. (I apologize for spelling "wheay" incorrectly in the note.)

I didn't have time to write a proper note for you todaaay, cause we started off the morning with some wonderfully sexy nookieee, and I figured this silly poem would be okayyy. Weeaaahhy.

blah blah innuendo about zero-gravity pork chops blah blah

Day 63: Based on a true story

1/26/2014

Just imagine me tip-toeing around like Harley Quinn, whispering "sneak, sneak, sneak."

Panel 1:

I am an expert in the field of dessertology.

Day 62: Burninating the countryside

1/25/2014

And now a return to notes that make sense...

He's so cute you might almost forget your house is on fire.

Bonus Note #3

1/25/2014

This was originally attached to a blue and white origami penguin, but my husband decided to keep the penguin as an office decoration instead of sending it home with the rest of the notes to be scanned, so now this is just a disembodied label.

New! Only 4.5 years late! Actual footage of the elusive penguin has been caught!

Chill penguin [smiley face]

More like invisible penguin...

Just put the fish in the basket.

We're walking, we're walking, and on the left we have... more snow.

Day 61: It never made sense

1/24/2014

I was going for a pun on "height of expertise" vs "physical height of the lunch," and then that reminded me of the height checks they always do at amusement parks... so this note ended up a confusing jumble of half-thoughts on height that never quite add up to a whole.

This lunch is the height of culinary expertise. You must be this tall to ride the culinary expertise. [picture of a lunchbox with an 11

I don't want to ride it, I want to eat it.
