Frolicking Goob

Lately, I've been doing a lot of what my hooman girl calls "frolicking" in the crisp morning aire. Now that he's back in action, my favorite companion on these romps is my faithful (though headless) flamingo. As you can see, I generally prefer my flamingo protruding from the left side of my mouth like a cigar.



I wasn't convinced that I'm a frolicker, but my girl busted out this definition.


frol·ic Spelled Pronunciation[frol-ik] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -icked, -ick·ing, adjective
–noun
1. merry play; merriment; gaiety; fun.
2. a merrymaking or party.
3. playful behavior or action; prank. –verb (used without object)
4. to gambol merrily; to play in a frisky, light-spirited manner; romp.
5. to have fun; engage in merrymaking; play merry pranks. –adjective
6. merry; full of fun.




Yep. That's me.

The rest of these photos are pretty blurry (because I'm frolicking... DUH).






Occassionally I let my flamingo protrude from the right side of my mouth, just to mix things up.



This photo essay brought to you from the photo archives of GooberStan.




Love,
Stanley

Does your flamingo have a name, Stanley? Maybe something pretty and girlie seeing as she's pink? I guess it would have to be a headless sounding name! hehehe
I wish I could frolick with you in your yard!

Love ya lots,
Maggie

Woofers Stanley

You definitely look like a frolicy sort to me (takes one to know one). I couldn't help noticing your
flamingo is missing it's legs as well as it's head - this seems a mite careless to me - maybe it just can't 'stand up' to the attentions of a GooberStan.... tee hee.

Well done for rescuing your humans.

Hi Stanley, don't feel weird about frolicking. we do it too. it's fun, don'cha think? frolicking is our speciality, but we don't have a headless pink flamingo. that's a very cool toy, but we're still worried about that head. did you eat it?

Hi Stanley! You definately define the word Frolic - Do you know that Merry Christmas in German is frolic-gay-vine-a-tin? Just a little knowledge on a Monday morning...

Kirby said...

Hi Stan,

I think you can frolic with the best of them. And with a headless flamingo in your mouth too! You are so coordinated!! I love to frolic at the park, since I'm walked most days (no yard :-( boo), the park is my main chance to frolic about. Too bad we don't live closer, we could frolic together! Have fun!

Your pal,
Kirby

Moco said...

A good frolic is what everyone should have. It would make them feel much better. Dog blogging works also. Maybe Santa will bring you a new flamingo, though it won't be the same.

Murphey said...

And what a frolicker you are! Looks like lots of fun, and a flamingo stogie, I think someone should sell those things.

Lenny said...

Love that flamingo, Stanley! He seems very merry as well, despite his lack of a head.

Your friend, Lenny

Stanny! I know the Stellanator is not a cat, but she might just be teeny enough to fit into a kitty's head gear. Check out my bloggie for some stylin' Stella accoutrements.

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Stanley...ur poor flamingo seems to be missing some feathers among other things...like a head...um where is his head...or her head as the case may be? U didn't eat it did u? I'm not sure how flamingo tastes; probably like chicken. Did u put BBQ sauce on it? Or perhaps a little wine for Flamingo Marsala?

Ok...

Mumsie has to address all of our cards...we're workin' on it...takes her a while to do anything. Like feed us.

Freezin' our butts off here...gonna go hang in my bed...

Good frolic Stan! We like how you keep it real with your flamingo, where was lil Stel during this though? Does she frolic? Are you giving her lessons?

B.T.Bear (esq.) said...

Wa-heyyy!

Mojo, Digger and family said...

Stan, you're cracking me up. What is it with your big pink cigar? And is it just me, or does Headless Pink Flamingos sound like some shambolic university band with too many guitarists and an underfed singer?
