Her Royal Highness the Cat: TELL THEM WHAT I DID TO MAKE HER VISIT EXTRA SPECIAL!
DSWS: Okay, okay, calm down! I'll tell them. Does everyone remember the famous 2009 viral photo of the "Crasher Squirrel" who photobombed those tourists in Banff?
DSWS: [sighing heavily] Yes, I'm sure it will. Anyway, Robyn and I had a delightful meetup and discussed all sorts of blogosphere goings-on. We've been following each other's blogs for many years, so there was a lot of ground to cover! Robyn is a talented author and poet who is now doing some stand-up as well, so I wanted to hear all about her current and future endeavours!
HRH: Yes, Robyn is a FASCINATING person! YOU, on the other hand, seemed intent on BORING the poor woman to death with your LONG-WINDED EXPLANATIONS of the Monarchy's role in Canada, the function of the Commonwealth, and how Canadian socialized medicine works. My gawd, I can't take you ANYWHERE.
DSWS: But . . . but . . . Robyn wanted to know about those things!
HRH: Yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that. Thanks to your endless BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, I couldn't get a WORD IN EDGEWISE to discuss poetry with Robyn. She and I are both OUTSTANDING POETS, you know. Remember how I won her blog's poetry contest in 2018 with my POEM OF GENIUS?
DSWS: So what? I won the same contest on her blog in 2022!
HRH: Yeah, with a piece of LEWD DOGGEREL, you no-talent hack. Besides, I have it ON GOOD AUTHORITY that yours was just a PITY WIN.
DSWS: Why, you little . . . .
How great! But sometimes HRH’s honesty is painful... but still funny.
ReplyDelete...it's good to meet up with friends.
ReplyDeleteDid I Welcome You Back? I've been busy being a political news junkie. And a week from now I'll be taking a long awaited vacation!
ReplyDeleteThere's no arguing with HRH,better not try. That looks like a festive dinner you had.
ReplyDeleteCats can be critical,
ReplyDeleteI would NEVER go up against HRH!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha HRH really has a temper, no?
ReplyDeleteAnd this looks like so much FUN!
XOXO
You really do have to try to be kinder to each other.
ReplyDeleteGood timing to visit Banff before it burned. HRH might have wanted a few more takes on that viral photo.
ReplyDelete@ Old Lurker -- Banff is still standing, it is Jasper that burned this summer. But that's not to say that wildfires couldn't hit Banff in the future.
DeleteI love this shot of you both together. Love the smiles!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, well done HRH (sorry Debra). If I win the lottery I would love to visit Edmonton :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time and a true friendship. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBanff, is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteYour post is always cheery and full of kick!
ReplyDeleteI've been off being a political junkie. How appropriate to return to HRH lecturing you.
ReplyDeleteCats are so egotistic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun summer!
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel photobomb may be famous, but it's the first time I've seen it. I luv it!
ReplyDeleteIts fun to meet the people you know online isn't it. I've had that pleasure too.
ReplyDeleteHRH, I think you are pushing your luck! Remember who buys your food!
ReplyDeleteOh Debra, don't listen to HRH. I asked all of those questions about the British Commonwealth, socialized medicine and blah blah blah. I really did want to know, and your answers were interesting and informative. We did have quite a delightful time. I have to admit, however, that HRH's insertion in our photo works rather nicely. I hope she isn't reading this though. There's not much room left for her narcissistic self to grow.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this very creative update.
I also encourage all your bloggies to visit Banff, Jasper (when it's restored), and you.
@ Rawknrobyn -- Thanks, Robyn, I try to listen to HRH as little as possible. Some days though, she's pretty inescapable!
DeletePS, HRH, I do NOT give pitty wins. I might've possibly given a pity bang or two. I mean, no. No pity from me. DSWS's "nip and tuck" poem remains one of my favorite wins.
ReplyDeleteYou do photograph well, though, sweets.
@ Rawkynrobyn -- Yes, I DO photograph well, don't I? I don't know what the word "narcissistic" means, but I assume it must involve being DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! I think I'm going to try my hand at being a Supermodel next. FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN, THEN WE TAKE BERLIN.
DeleteHRH, hahaha. Oh honey, thank you for the laughter. Yes, that's the precise definition of "narcissistic." Manhattan first. Berlin second. Third? We'll reconvene and strategize. Perhaps it's Saturn.
ReplyDeleteMust be super interesting to meet a blogger you've been reading for years!! I think it will be like knowing him!! The cat among you is very cute.. the squirrel is scary!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of you and Robyn, Debra! How fun that you were able to get together. We won't mention the photo bomber ~ Her head is big enough already!
ReplyDeleteGood for you !!
ReplyDeleteSounds a lovely meetup dear Debra ♥️
ReplyDeleteThis photo is incredible wow!
How nice she is writer and poet.you are outstanding painter so i can imagine how amazing time you guys had together :)
Okay... the end of this really made me laugh. Great post.
ReplyDeleteOh that CAT! Her ego knows no bounds!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and Robyn had a wonderful meet up!
