F-a-a-a-a-h-h-h-
k-k. I have absolutely nothing of much interest rattling around in either hemisphere tonight save for an old commercial from my childhood circling around like a buzzard in my brain. Maybe a few of you will recognize it:
NARRATOR: One day when the Turtle was out for a stroll he stumbled upon what he thought was another Turtle.
TURTLE: Who are YOU?!
NARRATOR: Said the Turtle.
ALMONDILLO: I’m an Almondillo.
NARRATOR: Said the Almondillo.
TURTLE: An Almondillo?!
NARRATOR: Said the Turtle.
TURTLE: What’s THAT?!
[this is where the dialogue starts to get fuzzy – I remember the Almondillo talking about his nuts which always threw me and my prepubescent friends into hysterics, etc, etc, fade to Afterschool Special, etc]
Yup, there ya have it. Nothing but chocolate and stupid beer commercials up there tonight (sigh).
Sorry, no refunds.
“So if I’M called an Almondillo because I’m made with almonds, why are YOU called a TURTLE?” [turtle pulls head inside shell]
