First things first – the following is a conversation between me and my wife via AIM. Many of you who talk to me via instant messengers will quickly recognize that, yes, this is how I normally hold conversations online. In an event, this is the buildup for my Thanksgiving story that I’m sure will revolutionize the holiday and make it almost as big as Christmas, the Fourth of July or at least Arbor Day.
Keep in mind, when I say “Indian” in this conversation I mean “Native American”. And when I say “Native American” I mean “People Indigenous To North America Prior To The Arrival Of The Europeans”. “Indian” sure does seem shorter.
My Poor Wife: is it time to go home yet
Me: HA
Me: i have no home

Me: i’m a nomad
Me: I follow the buffalo
My Poor Wife: uh

My Poor Wife: how about “picks up poop of tatanka”
My Poor Wife: with tatanka backhoe
Me: Yay!
Me: finally!
Me: I get a ho!
My Poor Wife: “no body will notice me here- this is stealth buffalo” http://bailey.aros.net/nature/images/Buffalo%201.jpg
Me: hehehe
Me: you know what probably sucks?
My Poor Wife: the food bill for one of those suckers?
Me: The Indian that actually named the buffalo ‘tatanka’
Me: probably had a stuttering problem and only wanted to call it ‘tanka’
My Poor Wife: hehehehe
Me: oh, but no
Me: stupid pale faces had to go running with it
Me: Angela’s people: Are you a Native American?
Me: Indian: Y-y-yes…
Me: Angela’s people: What is that large, cow-like animal
Me: Indian: Ta-tanka…
My Poor Wife: HEEEE!!!!
Me: Angela’s people: Tatanka?
My Poor Wife: im laughing like the ugly bird
Me: Indian: N-no..Ta-tanka!
Me: Angela’s people: Tatanka it is! George! Look at the Tatanka!
Me: Indian: *slaps forehead*
My Poor Wife: hehehehe
Me: Indian: S-s-s-stupids…
And so it begins. Tomorrow (or Thanksgiving Day, depending on how lazy I am) I will unleash upon the world the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Oh, and Clare…you were asking what I want for Christmas. There you go! Tatanka! Or is it Tanka??
You are so adorable! I’m sure you and your wife miss each other. I wish I could take you home and snuggle you!
Tatanka Toys?? Exactly how does your wife maintain her sanity?
Im not sure thats in my budget…
:OP
[…] Music is streamed over an FM signal so if you want to see the show set to music you tune your radio to his frequency and BAM! Instant holiday goodness! Blood, sweat and tears went into this and, dang it, I’m just going to stalk his house and watch in awe.Ok, the reindeer with lights scare me.You know which reindeer doesn’t scare me? Randolph the Butt-Nosed Reindeer. Check out his website at http://www.heymikeyboy.com or his MySpace page. If you want to buy a stocking stuffer, there you go. As you can see on his MySpace page he’s taken to being photographed in several different locations like Flat Stanley or one of those lawn gnomes. I think Randolph is absolutely adorable and I bought a few from Urban Outfitters. And as an added bonus he has the word “Butt” in his name!The only odd thing about Randolph that I see is that he really doesn’t even have a nose. He looks a lot like a camel or a moose. I do like this type of off beat present, though. I mean, it isn’t like I’m asking for a tatanka or anything. […]
