dmxratedMom had the day off from work yesterday.
Yesterday morning, I asked her and Dad about their thoughts about that part of The Simpsons Movie where Homer dances his pet pig on the ceiling and sings "Spider Pig." To be specific, I asked them whether they thought it was connected with anything else or just tacked into the movie. Homer did create a container for the pig's waste material, but then again, paw prints only require a rag to clean up, which can then get put through the wash. His lyrics to the song weren't even creative, unlike that time when he spoofed the first two lines of the Flinstones theme:
Simpson! Homer Simpson! He's the greatest man in history...
Simpson! Homer Simpson! He's about to hit a chestnut tree...
Dad told me that I just have to go along with these things when watching a movie. I did tell Mom, though, about a real spoof of the Spiderman theme, which is sung at the end of the Angry Nintendo Nerd's review for four Spiderman games. (Most of the ANN's reviews are now found in ScrewAttack.com...or by typing "Angry Nintendo Nerd" into Google and clicking I'm Feeling Lucky...but he still has trailers for the reviews on YouTube.)

(Oh, and I do understand that there was, in fact, a comics parody of Spiderman, but it was called Peter Porker: The Adventures of Spider-Ham, not Spider-Pig.)
Not too much later, she showed me this YouTube music video, which featured clips from Thomas the Tank Engine and played Michael Jackson's Thriller. After it was over, I told her that it would have also been funny if Thomas made a cameo in a MAD Magazine spoof of Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, which took place mostly on a train. She agreed with that comment.

Around Noon, Mom took me over to Target (I drove there, and she directed me), so that we could get food, a new battery recharger, and a new battery for my watch. While we were at the watch counter, the clerk there told us that she doesn't replace the batteries herself, but there's a number on the back of the watch which specifies what kind of battery it uses. I then looked at some games (along with some It's Happy Bunny merchandise) while Mom went around for food, and then we picked up the recharger. On the way out, while Mom was paying for stuff, I went to the food counter and bought four black cookies with vanilla chunks, which were on sale two for 99 cents.
Later on, Mom went over to Dad's workshop to clean the place up. She had me and Brian mow the lawn, vacuum the house, and fold the laundry.
Last night right before dinner, Brian was talking to Mom, and he said something containing the word "anthropomorphic." Mom told him that I used that word the other day. It means animals with human characteristics, such as in The Far Side, Life In Hell, or Sonic the Hedgehog. What I said was "Only anthropomorphic animals eat at the table" (obviously a joke) after Mom and Dad told Marie how disgusting it is to feed animals (in this case, our cat Sabrina) part of her dinner while we're all eating.
While we were eating, Mom noticed that my chicken was undercooked. I took another piece of chicken, and it too turned out to be undercooked. Soon enough, we found out that they were all undercooked, which is ironic since Mom said that she was worried about overcooking them.
