Daphne:  What’s that vibration?

---

Velma:  It’s either a big air tanker taking a water-bomb to the forest fire, or Yummy Human singing Karaoke, or… Oh! It might be her drum!

Daphne:  That’s not a plane.  I only like Yummy’s singing when she makes up kitty-cat songs with my name in them and sings them to me.  And that drum… no way.  I’m outta here.

Velma:  The drum case is empty!  Yummy Human has the steel-tongue drum.  Make way Yummy, here I come!

---

Oof!  Careful where you jump, Velma.

Velma:  C’mon, Yummy Human — give me that mallet so I can play the drum.

---

No… you always want to chew the wool part, Velma.  It doesn’t work very well with your slobbers on it.  Yep… just like you’re doing now.

Velma:  Don’t be such a prima donna, Yummy.  Fine then.  I’ll help you hold the drum.  Feet like so, right?  Just reach around me.  I’m not in the way.

Velma:  Ya know, Yummy… You might actually learn to play a song on this drum if you practiced more.  I can’t imagine why you don’t.

Velma:  I’m tired now.  Drumming is hard work.

And now, for your listening pleasure, Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponies:

The Scoobies and I wish everyone a splendiferous weekend.  Friendly comments are encouraged.  Hugs!
