The Saga of Moebalone

As you have seen, I have been on a faux kick lately.  So... I am telling my pal Chris that the next faux thing is going to be abalone.  She knows the trauma I went through trying to make faux amber.  You know... the stuff I wound up calling "Moestones" because they didn't look anything like amber but were cool anyway?  So, Chris sweetly says to me, "Why don't you call it Moebalone?"  Is this because she KNOWS I am full of baloney?  The vegetarian variety, naturally. Or is this because she knows it will look nothing like the real stuff but will be fun anyway?  So, I start thinking about it.

Moebalone.  I like it.  It sounds like Italian candy.  Then I REALLY started thinking about it! Yikes......

"Did you hear that Mrs. Lottaclay had to have her moebalone removed?  No? OMG!  She was in the hospital for 12 days!  And that insurance company only paid 1/87 of her cost!  My Aunt Farbelucent (good old Auntie Farbie) had HER moebalone removed and she's just never been the same!"  or....

"Just because you are my boss does not mean you have to threaten me with your moebalone every time I am 6 seconds late!  Haven't you ever heard of employee harassment?"  or.....

"OMG!  Did you guys see the latest MUST HAVE tool?  It's a MOEBALONE!  My aunt Polymer has one and she just loves it!  Never minds that it costs several hundred dollars.  You just gotta get one!"  

And speaking of Moe.  Here's another fun thing that happened.  Brian and I were driving the other day and I see this bumper sticker that says, MOE.  Ok, I like this.  I have been Moe for more decades than I care to think about.  How NICE that some guy makes bumper stickers for me.  :D  The I get home to find an email from my pal Anita who sends me 3 links to MOE. There is actually someone out there using my name!  OIKS!  The horror of it all!

But, methinks, this is ok.  He is doing my advertising for me.  He plays music (I think) and I clay.  No problems.  Now, I look at his site and see he has t-shirts for sale.  They say, "M is for MOE."  Hah, I think... you betcha, Brother!  Maybe I will send him a thank you note.  :D
