Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator | October 28, 2009 | 10:00 am

Do you remember this show?  It kills me.  Watch the mini episode above. 
I don’t think that was a very good vet, kids don’t try that at home.  Especially if you have cows.

“EL, I need to tell you something.”

You burnt the cookies?

“No, I didn’t bake any cookies.”

You finally bought my penthouse.

“Isn’t complete control of the living room enough? Now listen this is serious.”

You went food shopping!

“If this is what having kids is like I’ll stay childless.”

Your future non-existent children thank you. What did you want to tell me? I’m very busy watching Bonnie Hunt.

“I’ve been off soda for 3 months now and starting my next challenge.”

What do you want a pat on the back, a cheer? Yay. There does that make you happy?

“Err, thanks. No I want some ideas of what to do next. I’m thinking exercise daily for ten minutes.”

Lame.

“Excuse me?!”

Sorry I’ll speak slower.  L a m e. El lamo.  You want a 100 day challenge? 10 minutes of exercise is no challenge.

“Oh, well I’m waiting for one of your brilliant ideas.”

Post on Opinionated Ant every day for 100 days.

“Ha, ha. I’ve barely been posting 3 days a week. You start cooking & cleaning & I’ll think about it.”

What about taking a picture every day?

“That’s not a bad idea. Do you have any others?”

Oh, what would you do without me? Prank someone everyday?

“That requires way too much planning. Unless I could prank a certain ant I know everyday, hmm.”

Learn a foreign word a day.

“Eliza, you’re outdoing yourself. Go on.”

Ooh, cook one meal a day.

“And you lost me.”

Fine lets put it to the readers. What would you do for a 100 day challenge?

Video of the Week: Mad Men~ Sesame Street Style
Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator | October 13, 2009 | 9:00 am

I used to love this show growing up and it’s amazing that it is now into it’s 40th season!  So what’s new on the magical street home to Big Bird? 

A Mad Men spoof. I won’t lie, I still have yet to see the show but perhaps watching puppets mimic first will bring me one step closer!

New episodes of Sesame Street start next month and don’t forget to visit their YouTube channel too.

“Can you tell me how to get…”

7 Ways to Kill a Mutant Ant- or Die Trying
Eliza Leigh and Humanoid Translator | October 6, 2009 | 8:00 am

Have a pesky mutant ant? 
I may be a mutant ant but only my humanoid translator finds me pesky.  Here are seven examples of her murderous intent, all of which failed miserably.



Squish it

My human tried to step on me but missed a step and tumbled down the stairs

Overdose on sugar
Ha ha, I ate her under the table. 
Now she’s on insulin.

Flush down the toilet
The car keys that I took down with me caused a flood and my human slipped and hit her head while trying to fish them out.

Put bleach in drinking water
I switched our water

Grate it
She clumsily tried to make me a salad topping.  The doctors were able to reattach her finger.

Build an ACME death trap
It didn’t work for Wile E. Coyote either.

Cook a healthy dinner
She ended up with E. Coli.

“Eliza Leigh, you’re exaggerating like usual.  I only tried four of those.”

Let that be a lesson to all you ant killers and remember we out number you!

I’m thirsty.  Not for water, come on human.
