Boxing on Box Day

Percy: Hooray, it's Boxing Day! I get to box Micah's ears.

Buddy: No, it's not Boxing Day. It's International Box Day.

Percy:  I can still box Micah's ears, can't I?

Buddy:  No, but you can admire him as he sits in a box today.

Percy:  Booooring!  I want to box.

Buddy:  Why do you look sad, Micah?  Percy won't bother you today.

Micah:  Percy isn't bothering me.  It's that we were planning to do a big box post today but I guess now I'm the whole post. 

Buddy:  It's Jan's fault.  She hogged the computer yesterday and we didn't get the computer until bedtime so we had to hurry, but it was more that stupid Winton (Windows 10) Creator update that trashed the post.

Percy:  Yes, Jan got quite the shock when she tried to print an Amazon order and discovered the printer had been deleted again. 

Buddy:  Hours and hours of boredom as we waited our turn.

Micah:  Jan wasn't bored, though.  I'm sure I saw steam coming out of her ears. 

Percy:  That must be why her glasses steamed up.  I thought it was just from the heat.

Micah:  Well, Winton did something more than uninstall the printer when it upgraded this time.  It's been reinstalled numerous times but it doesn't work. 

Buddy:  Percy, if you really want to box someone's ears, forget about Micah.  Please, box the daylights out of Microsoft!

Percy:  Okay, has anyone seen my virtual boxing gloves?

Micah:  Where would you find virtual boxing gloves?

Percy:  Microsoft is trying to take over the world, so they have an app for just about everything.

Buddy:  You mean they have a virtual boxing app?

Percy:  Not yet, but they will after they read this post and realize they're going to have to protect themselves from Percy, the Funny Farmer with the mean right cross.

Micah:  I believe you, Percy, but you've lost a little weight, and it will be hard for anyone to take you seriously if your trunks fall off.

Our Old New Box

Merci:  Do you guys know today is Box Day?

Cameron:  Of course we do.  We read the same email you did.

Rusty: Uh, I don't think that was the correct answer, Cameron.  You were supposed to say "no."

Marcus:  Can I say it?  Jan says "no" to me all the time, so I know how to say it with feeling!

Sam:  It's Box Day.  Can't we just finish the post so we can all go to bed?

Cyndi:  Calm down, Sam.  We're almost done.  Who has the photo we chose?

Micah:  Here it is.  Percy was sitting in front of the monitor trying to hide it.

Percy:  I was not.  I was just ... um, I was just ... yes, that is what I was doing!

Merci:  I'm sorry, Percy, I didn't hear you.  What were you doing?

Percy:  I was sitting in what was then a new box.

Marcus:  Hey, that's a neat box, Percy.  It looks kind of familiar.  Have I seen it before?

Percy:  Yes, Marcus, you have seen it before.  It's a litter box.

Buddy:  I guess if we have to pick something to be thankful for after this last week, it would be that we haven't lost our sense of humor.  If you have lost yours, we have an extra litter box you can sit in.

International Box Day 2011

Today is International Box Day.  It used to be International Cat in a Box Day since cats are known for usurping boxes to play in, but now it includes dogs or other furries in a box. We don't have a photo of Buddy in a box, but we do have one of him eating a box. 

This is Cotton back in March when the house was still cold. Jan emptied a box and Cotton decided it would make excellent lodging and moved into it for a week or two. So Jan put the hairy blankie Peggy made in the box for warmth and comfort.

Happy Int'l Box Day!
