Operator Error

Yesterday, Steuben got one of Natalie's hand-knitted dog kerchiefs. I confess to having dropped a few strong hints along the way.

Steuben tried humping the bejeezus out of Natalie's dogs before he got fixed. Even the three-legged one managed to evade his amorous advances, but that didn't stop him from trying.

Natalie said she made the kerchief blue so that it would be manly, given all Steu's excess testosterone.




Steu feigned ignorance/innocence.

He looks very viril.

Yay, dots! It makes the rest of us feel better about the amount of work we have to do and leaves us a little in awe about how much you get accomplished in a week. Let me know if you need to blow Thursday off. I would completely understand.
