tell me what your new display name means.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

'Mookie is a friend in the UK. He helped me with some blog stuff. I said he was my 'blog angel'. We shortened that to 'blangel.' You'd think it would be more interesting story, but sadly, no.

Bored Sales Guy Stuck in Meeting says:

yeah. That's terrible.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

I should have made something up. Can I start over?

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

"Once upon a time........

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

....... there was a walrus named 'Mookie.

Bored Sales Guy Stuck in Meeting says:

hahah, I just laughed out loud in the meeting

Bored Sales Guy Stuck in Meeting says:

everyone stopped talking and looked at me.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

That makes me very happy.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

"So 'Mookie the Walrus lived on in iceberg in Norway. It was a nice iceberg, with shag carpets and posters of Anna Nicole, before she lost all the weight."

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

Then one day, 'Mookie meet a nice girl walrus named Titania. (We'll call her 'Tit' for short.) She made 'Mookie take down the Anna Nicole posters, but 'Mookie didn't mind because Tit was prettier than Anna Nicole anyway.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

Little Cody interjects (a la The Princess Bride) - "Is this a kissing book?"

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

(grandfatherly tone) - "Someday you might not mind so much."

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

Then one day 'Mookie was innocently sitting on an ice shelf, and a large icicle fell and was lodged in his brain. He survived, but Dr. Walrus didn't want to remove the icicle because he wasn't such a good surgeon anymore, ever since his wife left him for a sea otter.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

So poor 'Mookie lived the rest of his life with an icicle sticking out of his head. It wasn't so bad, really. The brain damage caused him to bark whenever she saw a fish, but Tit took good care of him, and all was well. Of course they could no longer to Jamaica on vacation, for fear the icicle would melt and 'Mookie's brains would spill out.

Bored Sales Guy Stuck in Meeting says:

That's amazing. Seriously. I'm so UN creative it's amazing.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

Then, at the ripe old age of whatever is old to a walrus (haven't a clue and I'm too lazy to google that info, and incidently, what did we do before google? Really? Sometimes I think God created light, and then google. And it was good. Amen.) and Tit had him frozen in a block of ice and floated out to see, as is traditional for walruses (my lack of research on this story is growing apallingly obvious.)

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

Then one day, Tit was walking home from her bingo game, when she heard a faint sound of barking, coming from the sky. She looked up and saw, floating on sagging cloud (because walruses are heavy, even when they're angel-walruses, I got that FACT off the internet, so you can't dispute that) and 'Mookie barked down at the love of his walrus-life, and Tit was happy and told all her friends what she'd seen.

'Mookie is a 'Blangel' says:

That 'Mookie, the barking walrus, was now a barking angel. A ......... *drumroll* .......... 'Blangel'.

The End
