Celebrity Norbert!

I do wish this video were longer, but a minute of Norbert is a minute of joy. He hasn’t yet graduated to feature-length movies. A proposal to remake Gone With the Wind with Norbert in the role of Admiral Halsey fell through when they couldn’t find an aircraft carrier.

I know the headline makes no sense, but I’ve just read that you have to pepper your posts with key words or they don’t stand a chance with the search engines.

That wore me out, so I just watched Norbert instead. See those little legs go! I’m already fed up with key words. Coccyx. Spinach. Equity. Fanabla!

Norbert Certifies a Doggie Treat

I’ve probably already posted this Norbert video once before, but I’m so worn out by the nooze I’ve covered today, I’ll take any Norbert I can find. Besides, maybe a lot of you missed it, first time around.

I’ve passed up the story about the famous nooze anchor getting trapped in a roach motel. My lips are sealed, wild horses couldn’t drag it out of me.

Norbert as a Baby

This is Norbert before he reached his full growth of seven inches tall and, well, three pounds or so. He has since turned mostly snow white.

I’m sorry this video is so short. We’ve had to do without Norbert pulling a grown man out of quicksand (I don’t know where that one went), and don’t ask me what happened to the one of Norbert chasing the elk. But any Norbert is better than no Norbert.

Norbert: Almost Partied Out

This is how you have to pull yourself along when you’ve partied yourself out. You’ve heard of party poopers. Well, Norbert has been pooped by our party. But as you can see, he’s not quite ready to give up. He wants to be awake when we count the views.

Play Ball! with Norbert

I’m still hopeful that Norbert will make it to my imaginary party tomorrow, but I forgot he has an imaginary baseball game scheduled for the afternoon.

Don’t sell him short–he has a 1.000 on-base percentage! If you think Eddie Gaedel was hard to throw a strike to… well, Norbert’s strike zone is actually smaller than the baseball.

Indeed, there’s a lot of controversy as to whether Norbert even has a strike zone.

Well, we’ll save him some goodies in case he shows up. The imaginary caterer is equal to any situation.

Setting Up My Birthday Party

Just because it’s an imaginary birthday party doesn’t mean you don’t have to do the work. Those of you who’ve already shown up, you can help me set up for tomorrow. And we’ve got a keg of root beer that requires our attention.

Here in real life, it’s cold and grey and rainy. We will have perfect weather for the party: plenty of lawn chairs around the big catalpa tree for sing-alongs, tall tales, and Mad Libs. By all means, Mad Libs. Have you noticed the tree is occupied by cardinals and bluebirds?

Our celebrity guests will be Byron the Quokka and Norbert. Quokkas are already setting up the Monopoly table.

Remember, you’re all invited, we’re going to have a wonderful (albeit imaginary) time… and there will be no nooze. It’s my birthday, and I’ll bar the doors to the nooze if I want to, so there.

 

Special Norbert

I’d better post this before it goes away. And maybe Norbert can generate some views.

This is Norbert getting combed. You can’t expect him to do it himself.

Norbert’s Commercial

How about some Norbert? I just can’t take any more nooze today.

All right, I know it’s a commercial, but it’s the only new Norbert video I could find. Anyway, it’s nice to know his health is being seen to. This is a world that needs a Norbert. Norbert’s one of the ways God has of showing us it’s His world and He has not forgotten us.

You Wanted More Norbert?

Well, okay, here’s a Norbert video I hadn’t posted yet. I hope his growing fame doesn’t make him haughty (and how many times have you seen that word used, lately?). This amazing little dog is loved all over the world.

Hands off, Hollywood!
