Thundercats, Shower Tiles, And The Fab Four

I’ve decided against an opening monologue today.  What are you going to do about it?  Seriously?  Huh?  Are you going to come to my house and rearrange my ottoman collection?  Huh?  Are you?  Are you going to follow me around all week, singing the theme song to “Thundercats” excruciatingly loud in my ear?  Huh?  Are you?  Are you going to go to my house when we’re away, rip up the bathroom floor, and install those little one-inch square tiles because you know that drives me bananas and I can’t stand on them in my bare feet for even two seconds without getting the willies especially if my feet are still a little wet from the shower and just thinking about it right now is making me cringe?  Huh?  Are you?  Fine.  FINE!  If you’re going to be that big of a jerkface I’ll write a stupid opening monologue.  Are you happy now?  Huh?  Are you?
Moral: Monologues come in all shapes and sizes.  Not creeds though.
