The State of The Snarkology

The Snarkology is a year old. Technically, it was created on 10/19/12 but I'm holding an impromptu birthday party for my blog today over on Facebook starting at 12PM PST. Drop on by and say hi! There will be door prizes and a few party games.

Finally, bonus feature! A couple snippets from the Snark Family: 

(Like most writers, I keep a notebook. These are things that made me laugh but haven't evolved into a post.)

The Gym Parking Lot:

As Mr. Snark zips along, Mrs. Snark waves her arms in agitation. "You just passed a perfect front row parking spot!"

Mar. Snark (sneers):  "It was a compact space."

Mr. Snark then heads for the back of the lot in Bumfuk, Egypt.

Mrs. Snark:  "This is a very compact minivan!"

Mr. Snark:  "No it's not."

Mrs. Snark:  "Yes, it is. Have you ever seen the width on a Sienna?"

Mr. Snark:  "It's not width that matters. It's length."

Mrs. Snark (rolls eyes):  "Pffff. Only to a man. Ask any woman and she'll tell you that it's girth that matters."

Mr. Snark: "Are we still talking about parking spaces?"

Mrs. Snark:  "I am. But I know what you're talking about."

On Litigious Kitties:

Mr. Snark walks past an octopus of hyper cats wrestling on the floor.
Mr. Snark:  "Cat nip again?"
Mrs. Snark: "You didn't ask any questions when the cat lawsuit went away. Move along."
