NOODLES!!!!?!?@*%!

It’s been a long night, people.  Brian and I spent the night turning the Pug Slope Headquarters upside down in search for a clue on the sender of Sid’s mystery box, while Sid patiently waited for us to open said box tried out a number of methods for opening the box with little success.

Watch as Sid…

deploys the Standing-Jimmy Jedi Mind Trick…

harnesses the power of thought to convert himself into a solvent which will be passed through the semi-permeable membrane of the cardboard box, aka psychokinetic pugmosis…

and finally resorts to brute force, squeezing and squeezing with all his might in an attempt to burst the box open at its seams with his bare paws.

****

While Sid was busy giving himself a hernia, we found three clues on my computer that confirmed our biggest fear.

1.  An email addressed to Sid, sent from one Mr. Chewy, proprietor of an online pet supply store, offering free goodies to the canine resident of Pug Slope in exchange for a review of their service.

2.  A bookmarked blog post written by one NOODLES LADY LIBERTY of A Bowl of Noodles fame, in which the process for ordering TREATS and FOOD from Mr. Chewy is outlined IN DETAIL including illustrative PHOTOS for various steps and a glowing review of the online shopping experience.

3.  A PDF receipt of a Mr. Chewy’s order placed just TWO DAYS before the mystery box arrived.

Sigh.

It looks like our days in power are over, people.  The pug is rising.  Behold, our new ruler:

“THIS IS ONE SMALL STEP FOR A PUG, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR PUGKIND” – Siddhartha Lamont, April 23rd 2012

Tune in tomorrow to see Sid unpack the contents of the box that changed the world.

What’s in the Box?

A giant box arrived at the Pug Slope Headquarters.  It was addressed to Sid.  Brian claims he didn’t order anything for Sid.  I know that I didn’t order anything for Sid.  It’s not Sid’s birthday, and Christmas has come and gone, so we’re not expecting any packages from friends and family.  There’s no way that… Sid… ordered something for Sid…right?  RIGHT?!  No, no, it’s not possible.  I mean, the ramifications of Sid mastering the ins and outs of online shopping are too vast to contemplate and, sure, he’s figured out how to create jaunty photo slideshows in iPhoto and post videos to YouTube, but… No, no.  It can’t be.

Sid has been waiting patiently on top of the box (he’s not allowed to use scissors) while Brian and I continue to search the Pug Slope Headquarters for clues…
