edited to add: In this case, when you tell someone they've gone to live on a farm, they really have!
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

I love bees. I wish you would come live near me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was a kid, my father kept bees. For several years, they were on land way out in the country. I don't know what arrangement he had with the owner -- I was about 5 or 6 at the time. But I remember being able to run around the area (not too close to the hives!) while my father harvested the honeycomb.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm still bemused by the fact that you can just order bees and...they come in the mail. A box of bees! It's like a Monty Python sketch.

Boo to the bee boohooer!
I am off for four whole days! Whee. Work has been really fraught for the last little while, so it will be a relief to be away. Of course, I am going to visit my crazy mom. Who only stopped calling me daily to see if I made it safely home from work when I told her I was coming home for the weekend. So, it won't be entirely relaxing, I fear.

Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?
But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?
Singing...
La dee dee, one two three,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.
Is this wretched demi-bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee!
Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
Eric the half a bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.
I love this hive, employee-ee,
Bisected accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.
He loves him carnally,
Semi-carnally.
The end.
Cyril Connelly?
No; semi-carnally!
Oh.
Cyril Connelly.

Teppy just reminded me of the Tim Curry/That'll Give You Bees story. [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yep. I was thinking, "That'll give you, um, bees."

I used the "OMGPONIES" in my Vampire Diaries recap, last week. I didn't realize until later that's where I (probably) got it from, and I had just linked "That'll Give You Bees" to Snacky on Twitter, around the same time. (I couldn't believe Snacky had never read it.)
