Feeling Great and Lookin' Fine!

Me gots all my "man-feathers" ready for Molly...last spring I was just a wee, young owl;
Now I am McGee - SEE?!

{1SkatrPic}

Lovely Evening, Isn't It, Molly?

And Molly just smiled at her handsome McGee, knowing that every night spent with him always was and always will be a Lovely Evening.

REMEMBER THIS? AWWwwwww.......Gee, that was fun

and we are still part of it!

YouTube - Molly The Owl Hardcover Book

^^^Remember the first time we watched this?

What would happen if we all just took one

moment out of our lives to watch and listen

to the story that captivates us still...as we

begin our journey anew...

Savor the sweetness. Even if for a moment.

We are posting these "classic videos" to remind
ourselves where we came from, how far we
have come, and how much Magic we have to
look forward to, together, in 2011!

Because, from here on out, A NEW DAY
HATH DAWNED AND THAT DAY IS NOW!

Love,
YumYum and every single MOD who has
contributed to the MOD Blog, created the
MOD Blog (CANDLES, WE MISS YOU!)
or been Blogged About! Lucky we MODS
have such a great sense of humor and do not
own chainsaws!

Oh My! You Don't SEE This, not Really!

Truth be told, I dunno if this is Molly & McGee or Mel & Syd or Brangelina...ya seen it once, ya seen it a million times. But seeing it tonight was exciting! Because 100 days without a canoodle is just too much to expect...so, Molly and McGee made up for lost time...Molly played it coy and shy, demure yet modest...Even McGee acted like a middle schooler before his first kiss...yeah, that lasted for about 30 seconds before he was on her like a fox pouncin' on a mouse! After she clicked for him in a volume that had the guinea pigs wondering if that was our tsunami siren! ( I assured them we were not in any danger as Bellingham does not HAVE a tsunami siren.)

Canoodling hath begun in the Biblical Way so SqueakyTrillyOwlet aint'welcome theah no'mo!
Go trill on someone else's roof, it's time for C4 and not a moment too soon! We were just remembering how to clean our homes, do our laundry, wash our dishes, even our hair!
Yeah, that gone now...

WELCOME BACK, MODS, OLD AND NEW cuz WE ARE STILL HERE AND SO IS THE OWLS AND CARLOS AND NEW BOOKS COMING OUT AND NEW SONGS TO SING so JUST DON'T PLAN ON INVITING ANYONE INTO YOUR HOME UNTIL...
OCTOBER WAS IT?

Richard Engel Reporting from The FRONT LINES!

It's O.K. Richard, we already knew what you are just now learning...you don't need to report it, here's a hanky, now take a day off to hang out at your favorite spa in Benghazi, you'll feel better soon...we are all disappointed, but Trilly went to the SqueakOlogist for an Otolaryngological
Tour of Duty...Brave Trilly!
We'll get through this together...you have a wife who loves you very much.
And she has HAD IT WITH WEATHERMAN PETE MERTZ! Not that she ever liked him to begin with. She bought a weather taxi to take him Away! (and yet, he continues to return...Pete, what's the weather like in Libya these days?) Richard, there's a camel with your name on it...forget Trilly, we will get through this...

EPIC!: Day 100 Fledge + Day 1 M&M Canoodle = Memorial Day, 2011!

TONIGHT WAS NIGHT 100 of the fledge and nary a pip or a squeak to be heard! Trilly, we will miss you. Molly and McGee returned on Memorial Day, 2011 for the Beginning of C4, and we MODS are still around to tell the tale and forget to go to bed we're all so excited! And there is a HOT new YouTube ad by Rocketman Chris Adams about the C2 Coffee Table Book making its way here on a slow boat from China, and - well - how many of us are calling in sick tomorrow because we forgot to go to bed? Can we see a show of hands? Tails? WhatEVAH! Gonna be another one of those Sleepless in the Owlbox Summers, y'all!
Woot! Woot! Wheek! Wheek! and Scooby-Doo! Let the "bonding" BEGIN!

ROSE THE COWBOY!

Rose the Cowboy and her faithful companion, "Howdy" the Horse sent with love from CAR's secret, undisclosed location.

an art event where raggy rat cat makes another barn owl ...

The first weekend of ARTWEY! Quick, grab that camera, and snap the first visitors!

It might be cheating asking Daisy to sign the book, but my girls really enjoyed the display too ...

Steam punk goat is here for a little while longer, then he goes off for big adventures ... he is very much admired by those he meets ...

'I'll take this please,' says Mary, about her own dog-on-wheels!

spot any familiar faces?

Here is the Cat, at work on Barn Owl soft sculpture number 4 ...

The fuzzies even start to ask all the kinds of questions that my visitors do. Then they go one better, and turn up with fake money, to buy me out!

Do come and see us next weekend, won't you?

Marifun Show Off Comic Chops in Molly Movie Night Caption Contest!

Marifun won this week’s Molly Movie Night Caption Contest with an entry that offered a chuckle for every MOD. Talented MODs submitted an owl box full of terrific captions, once again making the judges and celebrity judge Lashes007 really work for their pay! Congratulations to all!

The rest of this week’s final four were:

This recipe for Rabbit Fricassee looks really yummy!!! Do we have any rabbits in the pantry? (smilingnanci)

According to Owl Facts of North America, calling us 'fuzzy britches' in public is libel." (memedee)

Help for Orphaned Eaglets

Support the Norfolk Eagles

There are involved in a contest through Chase Community Giving on Facebook where they could win up to $500,000 for their non-profit organization.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA!

THE NEW DAILY HORK IS BACK!

WE are fortunate to have lured the one and only CAR into our irreverent, outcast flock of Black Sheep from which there is no return! AND WE GOT A LIVE ONE this time, MODS!

Our ingenious CAR is a GIVER, and has resurrected her one and only "Daily Hork" which we encourage all to read before mercilessly remarking when we see her on UScream that a "SPEW ALERT!" would have saved our 'puter from the ravages of our having sipped or eaten before reading it: from a pint O'Guiness to herb tea, a cafe grande to chocolate mousse: not a one o'dese gonna do much good once they Drench & Dry in the once hidden nooks and crannies of our naive keyboards and virgin 'puter screens...and the chocolate mousse? How we gonna 'splain THAT dried, brown stuff to the Geek Squad? INCONTINENCE?

READ IT ANYWAY! You'll feel younger, happier, and even though you only think it, and would NEVAH
dare speak your private thought aloud (much less post for the world to see) you Will mutter under your breath: "...and they thought I WAS CRAZY!?!"

Reassuring? No doubt!

P.S. Congratulations on the RESURRECTION (of The Daily Hork) not getting RAPTURED...what a shame
that would have been, such a loss! We give thanks...taking a moment of Silence...heads bowed...giggling.
We can't help what we is: Black Sheep lost in our multi-dimensional world of Confuzzlement, comprehending ALL whilst simultaneously understanding NOTHING!
WELCOME HOME, CAR, YOU IS ONE OF US NOW AND THERE AIN'T NO TURNING BACK! Our sincerest condolences.

In our solemnity, CAR, you do NOT witness -
HAPPY FEET! WOOT-WOOT! FLAP-STOMP-SCREECH! SQUEEEE! HOP-SNAP-CRACKLE &POP! for we do these things invisibly, in the privacy of our own chambers.

Syd Debates Announcing Her Candidacy for Public Office...on a HORK!

With Presidential elections merely YEARS away, politicians are jumping on and off the bandwagon daily. But the one person we have still never elected to office is a woman! (Not to mention a woman BARN OWL!) Why quibble with details? Syd is practicing standing upon a pedestal in case she chooses to throw her talons into the fray...with one, small caveat: Sir Humps-A-Lot probably gonna knock her up before her interview on FOX NEWS so chances are we are merely witnessing her fascination for "faux eggs" she can actually use for Pilates...the Olympics in London would be a perfect audition for the next series of films featuring wizards, young boys, and their Magic Owls! Must stay in shape.

Or, she is standing on a HORK for reasons no mortal shall ever comprehend. Either way, looks like the start of C2 at Owlceanside "As the Hork Turns."

Thanks again, Owlluver for nailing this moment: priceless!

Talk About a "Mug Shot!"

Owls, owls, and more owls! Calvin recently received such a special gift all he wants to do is pose on his own posing ledge!
So, here he is: Happy indeed to be Calvin, the small, in May, with his very own mug:
Calvin Needs Coffee, too, CAR, LOL!... Thank you, Lashes!

The Dynamic Duo of Owlceanside!

If we does what we did last time, will the same thing happen, the egg-thingys to play soccer with, play around until those wet, wiggly veloptisaurus-thingys we has to feed pops out, then them FuzzyBritches thingys gonna grow thems Mohawks wearin' pantaloonys only Captain Jack Sparrow could love and such Big Talons they falls backwards or faceplants and we go: uh-oh, what we made here? How THIS GONNA EVAH BE AN OWL?
That gonna happen again...if we BOND? (Like, a million times?!)

Mel deep in thought...considering the possibilities...weighing the pro's and con's...
Can't see no cons. Concludes:
Ya, pretty sure if we hump & hork enuf them thingys WILL happen. (Betta get to work right away!)

Syd, my Beautiful, One-Legged WenchyOwl! HERE I COME!

Modest Mel: "HEY! COULD WE HAVE A LITTLE PRIVACY HERE? WHATCHA LOOKIN' AT, YA LAZY LURKERZ, YA'S?!"

{This touching eavesdroppy-portrait courtesy of Owlluver 101}

Syd is BACK!

Could this be the Beginning of Syd and Mel, C-2 from Owlceanside? Looks suspiciously possible...ya think? Who has talent? Owllover 101 got "the eye" and sent us this amazing closeup of Syd checking out the camera to make sure we don't miss a minute of the action! And, considering Sir HumpsAlot's proclivity for "bonding" it don't look like we're gonna miss a thing!

Shout out to our Owlluver for her beautiful photography last clutch and TONIGHT! Thank you: Encore, Mel, Syd, and you photographers out there wid "The Eye!" We guarantee not to spell your name right (Stupis Skatr!) but you know who you is!
(Cuz you got "The Eye!")
WOOT-WOOT FOR OCEANSIDE! Let the Games Begin!

And... It's Lashes, by a Nose!

I know Mom and Dad will make us fledge soon. But always remember...

what happens in Carlos's backyard, stays in Carlos's backyard!

Congratulations to lashesOOO for her big caption contest win this week! Should we chalk it up to lashes having accumulated one more year of wisdom?

The Molly Movie Night crew were at their creative best as they put word to the screen shot of the third clutch owlets who refuse to leave the comforts of the owl box for the great beyond. Here are the other finalists:

Maxwell: " I need a mouse."
Maxine: "I need a massage."
Maks: "I need a drink."
(CARCoooooffee)

Dad calls us the "Owletgeneration." We say it's not Our Fault the Owlconomy is so bad. (gmarch53)
