The New GP 7500 Filter


On Wednesday, The Great BeezieWeezie leaves for Africa. Fortunately, when The Great Plotnik scrolled through his EZ Parent On Line Ge-Filter Catalogue, he found the marvellous companion to his GP 5000 Baby Talk Filter. Now that he has purchased and installed his new GP 7500 What? Me Worry? Filter, Plotnik and Ducknik are not the least bit concerned for her safety. This is a business trip, basically, though in her business these trips take five weeks and involve flying to and from Nairobi, with stays of several weeks in villages in Rwanda and Uganda.

Yes, Rwanda and Uganda rhyme. So do Mali and Bali. So do Nascar and Madagascar, but, like, so?



The great thing about the GP 7500 What? Me Worry? Filter is that it automatically and seamlessly filters out any concerns, so you don't even know it is in use. For example, Nairobi is a fabulous, cosmopolitan city, capital of Kenya, a country known for its limitless game reserves and the boundless energy of its people. Rwanda, as everyone is aware, is famous for its common border with Rwanda adjoining the glorious body of water known as Lake Victoria.

Normally, Plot and Duck, who have made a career out of following their children's adventures, would be planning a trip to join up with BZWZ, but since she still doesn't know how her travel schedule will be shaping up, and since she will be working most of the time, it hasn't been easy. But there is that week at the end. Maybe? If it works for her, maybe it will happen.

Namibia rhymes with tibia, taco with Morocco and Nigeria with diptheria (GP 7500 What? Me Worry? Filter engaged.) I mean hysteria (GP 7500 What? Me Worry? Filter engaged.) I mean Syria.



BZ ate a lot of potatoes in Peru. Looks like it'll be corn in Eastern Africa. By the time she comes home she may even think fondly of Plotnik's granola. Possibly. It could happen.

In truth, Plot could not be prouder of The Great BZWZ, but, see, she is still his little girl and will always be. This never stops (talk to Mummy Plotnik for confirmation on this issue), which is why GP has signed up for Automatic Upgrades on his GP 7500, including the still-in-beta Stop Worrying Even Before You Start Worrying Patch, with the Sweet Dream upgrade, which filters out all dreams of Nuclear War and substitutes them with Hello Kitty. Plotnik REALLY hates Hello Kitty, though, so for now he'll take his chances with the nukes.

very lovely post ~ it is so great (plotnikky great) that both your children love to travel as much as you and TGD.
mush says "don't worry" (easy for her to say...)

At the risk of admitting that I've missed a clever TGP joke, I don't think that Lake Tanganyika touches Rwanda (although Rwanda does indeed seem to share a border with Rwanda).

I admit though, that I only deduced this by Googling stuff - my knowledge of African geography is limited to pointing at South Africa (which helpfully has a nice clue in its name) and maybe the Madagascar (which helps by not actually touching the continent and having lemurs).

The GP 7500 sounds like it is worth its weight in Moroccan tacos.

GP not worry - George of Jungle will look out for BZWZ when she visits the Mbwebwe village. "Watch out for that tree!"
