Something Fishy About That Camel

    Hey, everyone. perhaps the greatest game ever for IOS is Plants vs. Zombies. Today I have been playing the sequel to that game and it is a winner. Yes, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is out and it is a free download with unobtrusive and non-pushy in-apps. There are the normal lovable characters, both heroes and villains, and a lot of new twists. This game is cuter than a spotted puppy pulling a red wagon. There is a bit of subterfuge which you may find amusing, in a historical sense.
    In this version, Crazy Dave has a time machine and he takes you back in time to Ancient Egypt, among other places. There are Pharoah Zombies, Dust Storm Zombies that spin onto the stage, and my personal favorite... I have dubbed these rascals The Trojan Camel Zombies. Here's the recipe. I was doing my thing, planting sunflowers and battling the invaders. Suddenly, I noticed something odd about an approaching camel. There were six legs on this camel! To my surprise, it was actually three zombies carrying a cloth picture of a camel in such a way as to disguise their approach as a harmless dromedary. I immediately fed one of my Peashooters a dose of plant food. He put on a little army helmet and mowed down the Peusdo Camel with a machine-gun-like burst of peas. Disaster was averted. I have to give these guys credit. They took a page from the Trojans who conquered a city with a giant horse filled with men. If their rug had reached the ground, they would be alive today.
     I love the new Bloomerang plant. He throws the boomerang, which should be especially fun for our Aussie friends. When you feed them plant food, their weapons kill zombies on both their outward flight, and their return to your hand... er... stalk.
    Hey, next we go to the Wild West and I am hoping to see a Cedric Gant Gunslinger Plant. Ha, ha. Have a nice day!
     From ancient Egypt, this is CE Wills.
P.S. No camels were harmed during the making of this blog.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
