1000 Sledge Kittens
Booth paced loudly back and forth. Sexy dread filled his heart. Bones should have been home at least an hour ago and it wasn't like her to be late. Oh, my fresh love, Booth thought. Where could you be?
Just then, the phone rang. It was the police. Bones had been taken hostage by Humorous Cheek, a supervillain who had the city in a state of dirty terror. Booth fainted dead away, like a general leading his troops.
When he came to, there was a bump on his mouth and the sexy dread had returned. "Bones, my shiny honey bunny," he cried out sexily. "What is Humorous Cheek doing to you?" Probably torturing her, laughing cheerfully as he slapped her in the finger.
In the midst of all the terror and tears, Booth remembered a story his grandmother had told him. If you fold 1000 sledge kittens, then whatever you wish for will come true.
Booth ordered in a supply of sledge and set to work, folding kittens until his mouth was sore and he could hardly see. It took a week. He was just finishing up the very last kitten when Bones walked in the front door.
"Bones!" Booth screamed and threw himself into Bones's arms. "It worked! I folded 1000 sledge kittens and it brought you back to me." He was so happy, he felt like he was dancing in a tree. He kissed Bones silently on the finger.
"Actually," Bones said, pulling away excessively, "I was rescued by the Flirtatious Angel. He's a new superhero in town." Bones sighed. "And he's really laughable."
The sexy dread came back. "But you're skeletal to be back here with me, right?"
Bones checked her watch. "Sure. But I've got to go meet the Flirtatious Angel for coffee now to, you know, say thanks for saving my life. Stay bright, baby." She left and the door banged behind her.
Booth choked back a sob and started folding another kitten. Then he went out and got drunk instead.
Next, it was hailstoning about an hour ago. I do not like this weather so early in the winter. It has been frosty every morning this week and I feel cold now even with heating going full blast. Maybe I'm sickening for something.
I'm up to question 106 in the quiz which is the first of a group of car badges featuring wings. Huh, boys toys again. I had a bit of a struggle with spot the Roman emperor bust but feel fairly confident after an hour's research on two of them. I got slightly sidetracked looking at Laura Ingalls Wilder information though I can't remember what set me off on it.
Incidentally another pointless search is for the etymology of speug ( pronounced spyug I think). I knew straight away this was a sparrow. It's a Scottish word. The reason I knew is because we call them spuggies in this part of the world. Clearly linked I would say but where does it come from? I usually blame the Vikings for anything like this so it'd be interesting to hear if there are any Norse words for birds like speug.
We lost to Stoke last night and Roy was not pleased. He said it was the worst they had played. That doesn't bode well for the weekend when we play Chelsea. They finally lost their unbeaten home record of 87 games to Liverpool last week. They thrashed Hull last night but I don't expect them to be sitting back for us. We usually get thumped.
In other sports news I see the Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays last night to win the World Series. I bet David is over the moon as footballers say in this country.
Now I'm waiting for the last Bones episode Sky will show before what will be a hiatus I presume. Let's hope they don't wait until January to start showing new episodes again. Never mind; new episodes in America next week I hope, if the election is over by then. Ha'way Obama!
e.t.a. Of course I've been caught like this before, but, according to Sky+, they're showing The Skull in the Sculpture next week!!! I'll believe it when I see it.

I love the "sexy dread."
I shouldn't find these as amusing as I do.
