Are you ready kids? I can't hear you!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Ohhhhhhh.....

Who lives in a closet that's dreary and dark? Spongemop Squarepants!
Who makes cleaning up floors a walk in the park? Spongemop Squarepants!
If a shiny clean kitchen be something you wish.... Spongemop Squarepants!
Then just dunk in the bucket and give it a swish! Spongemop Squarepants!
Spongemop Squarepants!
Spongemop Squarepants!
Spongemop Squarepaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaants!

So anyhow, this morning I was stocking stuff in housewares, where I was assigned for the day, and I had the following exchange with a customer:

Customer: I'm looking for a ...Spongebob....thing....
Me: Oh. We have that in toys, if we do have it.
Customer: (Dafuq? face) No no, I'm looking for a sponge mop
Me: (laugh) Oh, I'm sorry, those are in household supplies. Want me to take you over to them?

And then I spent all day thinking of the above when I should've been working. Heh. I'll blame the caffeine from my morning coffee not having kicked in yet. Or our in-store music changing from Tolerable Christmas Music to Wretchedly Awful Christmas Music. More versions of O Holy Night than I care to ever hear in my life, and the one with Cartman and the cattle prod wasn't among them. Nor was this, that's for closing Wednesday night if I have any say in things.

Also, I was subjected to The Christmas Shoes. Twice in an eight-hour shift. Throw me a pity party.

Sorry, but I just HAD to say this!

Dear God. I have a bottle of Fireball and a gallon of home brew. Take them. You need them more than I.

After being mind number by "Christmas Shoes" I would have made the same error. I suppose the only thing worse would be Dominic the Christmas Donkey once an hour for twelve grueling hours.

I actually like that song, but it would get old if played that often.

Throw some Red Peters Christmas songs into the mix.

Am I the only one who could actually hear the Spongebob tune playing when they read the post?

I not only heard the tune, I could hear his laughter. (shudder)

My last job had the kids singing it on the bus when we went to and from various excursions. My boss would yell it out.

I discovered once, to my horror, that I can do a pretty good imitation of the laugh.

It horrified a few coworkers when I did it back at the wholesale club.

Everytime I hear that song I always think of the basketball player Dominique Wilkins

but... but... but... i LIKE the Christmas Shoes song... AND Dominic the Donkey

but yeah.. i totally heard the Spongebob music while reading (or rather singing) the opening of the post. i don't even really like Spongebob... way too overhyped... for a while it was on EVERY D*** THING EVERYWHERE, but i have seen a few episodes... thankfully it's died down some.

[Tama]

I do like a few of the episodes, but not many.

Sometimes you just have to take what life gives you, 'cause life is like a mop and sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and bugs and hairballs and stuff. You gotta clean it out. You gotta put it in here and rinse it off and start all over again and, and sometimes life sticks to the floor so bad you know a mop, it's not good enough. You gotta get down there, like, with a toothbrush, you know, and you gotta really scrub 'cause you gotta get it off. You gotta really try to get it off. But if that doesn't work, you can't give up. You gotta stand right up. You, you gotta run to a window and say, "Hey! These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more!"
