In Which Roth Testifies

You all know Pearl, right?

The Minneapolis blogging legend?
Oh, about SO tall, I suppose? Blonde hair, great teeth?
Crazier than a barrel of caffeinated fish?
Purtier than a badger in a dress?


Yes, that's her!

Well, I tell you what. After some three years of reading her blog, I feel compelled to introduce the pair of you.

I'd even go as far to say that Pearl, Why You Little... is my favourite read.

Oh, stop pouting at the back there! I like yours too! But if I had to pick the one I took to the desert island, the one I'd read while sat on the makeshift can with a stack of doomed palm leaves beside me, it'd be Pearl's.

I've never felt so at home, reading about the bus dwellers she meets, her time as a court reporter in central Wisconsin, her current gig at Acme Grommets and Napkins (we've all worked there) or the unsettling antics of the two cats she somehow shares living space with: Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys) a symmetrically striped, tiny-pawed catcher of mice and demander of cream, a cat with a sharp tongue and a penchant for umbrella-ed drinks; and Dolly Gee Squeakers (formerly of the Humane Society Squeakers), a long-haired Siamese of some sort, a beautiful animal with stunningly crossed eyes. Who lisps. And gambles. And smokes.

Yeah. I think you're getting the idea.

Pearl's daily posts are funny, warming, honest, bizarre and shorter than I've ever got the hang of. She even uses semi-colons correctly; cool, huh?

She even has her own t-shirt!

So, now you've been introduced, I hope you'll do the click thing and check out Pearl's blog. If you see her, say Ray sent you.

And I tell you what; I think you're going to get along famously.

  1. I think you and Pearl were separated at birth. (I bet you'll even finish each other's sentences when you finally meet.) Definitely a match made in heaven!

    1. Hey Pearl! You're welcome, Cherie. As for being your agent, we need to negotiate. Remind me - how many pecks are there in a bushel?

  3. So, you're trying to get laid, right?

    After my blog, right Indigo? I mean, I know we just met and you and Pearl have HISTORY but just the same...

    Sigh, always a blogsmaid and never the bride. :-)

  10. So does this mea she's on your ticket for president? Pearl and Roth... you could use the Pearl and Dean soundtrack to hail your appearance on stage at the election tours...

    1. Hey Wendy! You know, I wanted Pearl on the ticket, but she's the campaign manager for the Bitey/Squeakers ticket; our main opposition will prove tough to crack with her at the helm. She couldn't go on THEIR ticket, of course; the best she can offer is being smart, honest and talented, and since when did THAT win an election? Besides, I needed Max to help unify the Slacker/Taco vote; a world champion horizontal eater, he is. Indigo x
