    You’ve got a 45 of “Fish Heads” down in the basement, don’t you?

    You know, he is very much correct: I think science, in all its travails, has yet to produce a hat-wearing worm.

    I demand your son quit killing me with cute overload!

    All they need is a teeny-tiny elastic band.

    They do not wear jaunty little berets, nor do they wear the more masculine cowboy hat. They do not wear them backwards, nor cocked to the left, nor to the right. There\’s no west coast/east coast rivalry here. They just don\’t wear \’em.

    Yet.

    IIRC, in the video for the song, the fish heads do have hats on (there’s a segment in which the fish heads are surrounding a table wearing party hats).

    What the fish heads don’t wear, according to the song, are sweaters.

    Incorrect capitalization. Sentence fragment. Off-topic sentence.

    Star my ass - Check minus.

    Clearly E has not played Viva Pinata or he would know that earthworms can wear hats if the gardener buys the accessories for them .

    I disagree with Robert’s assesment. If in fact Ethan was under the impression that earthworms wore hats, then it is in fact within the topic of “what I learned” if he learned otherwise.

    Check-plus.

    If he thinks earthworms wear hats, it’s because his mother is drunk and bad and wrong and probably on welfare and scams hard-working Americans so she can drive a Cadillac, instead of spending her time on educating her children about the earthworms. The slattern. So check minus minus!

    Beg to differ, Robert. His mother is a thankless hippie and thus he knows that earthworms eat dirt, do not wear hats, and are a very important part of our ecosystem. Which is why we try not to step on them after it rains. Plus, ew.

    Well, that’s just what they’ve trained you to say at Welfare Queen Scam Camp.

    You know what’s the funniest part of this? Not Ethan’s genius (although again I say, it is absolutely the cutest genius I have ever been privileged to see)–but that Robert thinks he is flirting. Successfully. Because women get all kinds of hot when you check-minus-minus the work of their children.

  14. 14 Robert Feb 11th, 2007 at 11:35 am

    Flirting, ew. Lauren is what, 12?

    I just like to hassle earthworm-lovin’ hippie welfare moms.

    I don’t quite see how an earthworm could wear a hat. Wouldn’t the hat come off when the earthworm was slithering through the soil eating dirt? Maybe something like a whole-body ski mask would work. If someone could provide me with average worm dimensions and degree of stretch needed I’ll haul out the size 0000s and have a go.
    Ethan’s earthworm report caused me to snort loudly, but then my own son’s recipe for french toast included an ejection seat.

    Stop flirting with me, Ledasmom!

    Man, you earthworm fetishists are all the same.

    I can think of one worm that wears a hat! When I was a kid, I fed nonsense phrases into an English-German translator program for my friends to giggle at, and the only one that sticks in my head today is “Ihr Wurm hat meinem Hut gestohlen” - “Your worm has stolen my hat!”

    I know that worm is still out there, looking fashionable at my expense….
