 NEW! Now we have the Flying Monkey Slingshot Toy. Uh, moake that SCREAMING flying monkey.I RECKON that one of our most basic rights as Americans is to be able to poke fun at our elected representatives.
 Apparently many agree, hence the popularity of our Obama-themed funny moneyVisit our Prop Department For stage cigars, actor's cigarettes,
 And assorted GIANT SIZE items for acting, educational props, or just for fun. |
I have questions about our old pal Ziggy. How is he able to stand with his heel exposed like that? Because when we are walking the dog and need to check for dog doo, that would be really handy. Maybe something is weird with his hip joint? Is this why he doesn’t like to wear pants? Or did he have to sell them to buy groceries? I am not knocking Ziggy. I got a tagline from a Ziggy strip maybe 30 years ago, when we are driving around looking at Christmas displays, and we see a Nativity scene, the first one to yell “What’s E.T. doing in the Nativity scene!!” wins. I got a Paralegal degree at the community college in the mid-90′s, just now getting around to throwing away all my papers and notes from that bygone era. I came across the following notations on a manila folder… I wonder what it means…
Maybe it was some sort of observational skills exercise? I will have to get with my old study partner and see if he remembers. Won’t you help keep the (restless) mouse alive? Here’s How!
I have a love/hate relationship with my phone. It’s one of those “Smart” phones. (Remember when a Smart phone was when you talked to the chief on your shoe? Anyone? Anyone?) So what I love is playing “Words with Friends” (Scrabble) with my sisters. Talking on the phone, not so much. But, it’s part of doing business. The upshot of all this: Call us anytime. Here are the numbers, big and bold; (425) 343-6750 or toll free (800) 948-5785Both of those numbers route to that cellphone, which tends to wander off. Furthermore, the confounded thing kicks into voicemail after about two rings. Half the time it’s under a pile of papers or has fallen in between the car seats. If it goes to voicemail, it’s a generic phone-company greeting, because my “day job” boss might be weird about this side business, and I’m always skating on thin ice already. PLEASE NOTE that when we DO answer, we speak perfect English and we are never rude.
I’m kind of bummed because it’s on a Wednesday and I have a night job that would overlap a bit. They put me on the mailing list because about a year ago, I bought some Red Green suspenders from redgreen.com so I wouldn’t have to stop mowing the lawn to hitch up my pants. Unfortunately, the suspenders are of the type that hooks over a belt, rather than clipping to the top of your jeans. It chaffs my hide to combine a belt and suspenders. I know what you are thinking, that I should use duct tape, but trust me, it’s not a good idea to use duct tape on any article of clothing. Just trust me on that.
We have got to find a wholesale supplier of these little hands! Sure, we have life-sized rubber hands but the little ones I find to be infinitely creepier.
Powered by Twitter Tools I was sort of afraid of my sister’s dogs to begin with. I mean, I have heard the stories… They have been known to consume entire loafs of bread in one gulp…. They gnaw on household appliances. My sister once spent an entire night waiting for 3 D cell batteries to come out the other end, something you would expect from a robot dog. Even so, I wasn’t prepared for what she posted on our myfamily.com site today;
Is it because of the minor differences, such as the ability to put nonsense words up repeatedly until something sticks, or the crazy “random” board my sister Evelyn likes to play, where a person can get a seemingly insurmountable lead on the first turn? Or the frustrating inability to flip the board over and run out of the room crying? Maybe they worked out some kind of deal. Anyway, I’m really glad it’s there, I really appreciate the chance to prove that at least two of my siblings are much smarter than me. It really brightens my day. We went to Portland yesterday and met up with Mary from the Monkey Business Joke Shop of Lincoln City, we bought out her merchandise. She also found a bunch more crap from her joke shop in addition to the stuff on the list, we have been having fun going through it all. So there will be lots more stuff appearing at ThatRestlessMouse.com, and in our Mystery Grab Bags, at our retail site in The 2 Bits and More Store across from the city hall in Arlington, Wa. and probably on eBaY too. I also discovered a new traveler’s trick, instead of using roadside rest stops, stop at a Red Lion or other big hotel with a banquet entrance. The bathrooms are much nicer. Stopped at one yesterday, There was some sort of a Big Important Meeting going on in the banquet hall, and they commenced voting on something, all in favor said Yea but not a peep for the Nay side. I guess it was unanimous. I was tempted to vote nay on general principle but I didn’t want them all to look at me and see I didn’t have a badge. I didn’t even know what was going on there. Since when does that stop me? New webvertisement from Non-Juan the “UnOfficial Spokesman” – We got via Fiverr… He nailed it!
Speaking of orifices that whistle, That Restless Mouse is one of the few places you can get the classic Whistling Tailpipe Gag. I am tempted to use it on my neighbor’s diesel truck, because the devil finds accessories for idle trucks. |
 One of our most "clicked on" products, the "Naked Lady" tip-and-strip float pen. We have the guy pens too. Don't blame me, that was the wife's idea. I still have no idea why she is so interested in those polite cartoon chipmunks. Remember when you were a kid and always wanted a fake ID? Well, now you can have one! Especially useful if you look like Bill Clinton, Betty Boop, or perhaps Gene Simmons from KISS! We have a couple dozen in our current assortment, more to come!
Check out our current Novelty License Assortment.
 There's nothing worse than being stuck in traffic, with a sore throat. Now there's help, our Road Rage Megaphone will talk to those morons on your behalf. |

I just got a postcard informing me that Red Green is bringing his one man show to The Pantages Theatre in Tacoma on July 18. You know it’s fancy because they spell it “Theatre” instead of “Theater”.
We went to find a few geocaches today, the “swag” turned out to be this fly and a little posable rubber hand, seen here as a little man climbing the far side of my soda can.
I had a bit of a hard time sleeping last night… Had the radio on classical music to try to soothe the mental torment, but something about that violin concerto wasn’t quite right. It took probably 20 minutes of careful listening, occasionally holding my breath, being very still, to determine that the discordant note was caused by the wife, she had one of those “nose whistle” things going on. I think I was chiming in with a wheezing in C flat.
Hey suckups!
