Super Sabado: Ay, the Ninjas

Recently I wrote about how Squirt is going to become a famous filmmaker. It’s true. He’s going to be famous, make a bazillion dollars, and then buy his mom a huge house. On the BEACH.

Some of you said you wanted to see this movie, so I asked Squirt and he agreed to put it on my website. I edited out the beginning and the end, but only because it contained some personal information and not because of the poop jokes, no matter what you hear from my boy.

So here is the live-action part of Squirt’s movie, complete with his Engrish-style subtitles. I think it is very artistic but then I’m biased—thinking about that beach house, you know.

Link for feed readers.

Pretty clever, hunh? The kid did everything himself—I only helped with a few shots where he and the neighbor kid needed to be in the same frame.

Today’s Super Sabádo is about a lot of different things. I was looking for ninjas, but they don’t seem to be a real big topic of conversation at the moment, except in our house.


Not being particularly Sarte smart, that sort of groovy-Guru announcement has always made me lay my ears back and ganesh my teeth.

I’ve noticed that these Italian humans are more wary of dogs in general than British people are. And when they come to the house they don’t want their faces washed. They don’t seem to like having their heads sat upon, either!

… except for those pesky agents and editors and their quest for that “certain spark” they are looking for in their writers. NEWSFLASH: It is time those rejection letters let go of that cliche. See, Iā€™m looking for something more in my rejection letters. Something that fits in my house, something with that, well, “certain spark.”

It’s Friday and I thought I would update the blog. I drank a cup of coffee and smoked a cigarette, but I’ll be damned if I could come up with anything.

And for those of you who stayed until the very end, here’s another ninja video Squirt has given his thumbs up to, by Barats and Bareta. Their ninja motto: “Peace! (Except for you.)”

  1. Movies by Squirt! Serious talent you’ve got there, Ms. Bonnie. So, will you watch him accept the Oscar from your lovely beach home, or will you go see it in person?

  2. Great movie and his Japanese sounded great! Not that I know Japanese from Chinese. Tell him we all said thanks for sharing! We are honored to view his first masterpiece {{bowing like the Japanese do}}.

  3. Um…er…hmmm…

    Then you’re previewer says:

    “Is this what you want to say?”

    Well, uh…yeah. I mean, that’s what I typed and all…

  4. You’ll be moving into that beach house before you know it, Bonnie. Please tell Ninja – from one film maker to another – his vids rock.

  5. y’know – Spielberg started with an 8mm camera as a young boy…. Can I come to the beach house for vacation some time =)

  6. Great movie by Squirt.

    Didn’t know to watch out for burritoes but will take the warning into heart.

    Beware, burrito-munching Dawg. šŸ˜‰

  7. Awwww, he is totally slumber fun!

    His movie meets my standard for greatness (it has a pirate in it).

    Have you seen Spielberg’s childhood movies? You definitely would feel encouraged.

    Congrats to Squirt and cohorts.

  8. Bonnie,

    Squirt’s video rocks! šŸ™‚

    Just catching up from the holiday weekend – thanks for the super sabado! šŸ™‚ Gotta say, you were right on about those killer bunnies… but we left before we had to face the priest who likes to bless my uterus, so all’s well again.

  9. What I go on vacation and I fail to make Super Sabado…oh the injustice here!!! šŸ˜‰

    I love your sons video, makes me want to go and eat a burrito. Great job.

  10. Ms. Karen, I think I’ll be watching from my beach house. Everyone is invited to Squirt’s Oscar party, too!

    Squirrel, I’m in the same boat. I studied Spanish, so I have no idea what he’s saying, but it sounds pretty good to me.

    Sorry, Mindy! I had to turn the Preview function on to foil the evil spammers, as the ninjas didn’t scare them off.

    I shall tell him, Lesia, although he’s probably reading this himself. Thanks!

    Heh, Bernita! The second one is by Barats & Bareta. They did the very funny “Mother’s Day” video.

    Yes, Dennie, you are invited, too! Everybody is invited for margaritas at my future beach house!

    I’m with you, Jamie. Who knew there was an inherent danger factor in burritos?

    Kristen, tell Dawg Squirt will show him how to make burritos in hyperspeed!

    Yeah, Dink! I knew you would like the pirate (you and Honey)!

    I’m glad, Groovy! It makes me laugh, too. The neighbor kid is such a good sport! “Ow! My tummy!”

    Aw, Honey! After I posted that I reread your comments and found out about the Killer Bunnies game. But still: killer bunnies to fend off inquisitive relatives! The mind boggles!

    I’m glad you’re back from vacation, LaurelWreath! We missed you.

    Jaye! You’ve got sharp eyes! That was Squirt’s little joke: the ninja chases down the bulldog and then adds meat to the burrito!

    Mojo didn’t laugh.

  11. It’s a little known fact that the burrito is the traditional weapon of choice for quality ninjas everywhere… go Squirt! (His exasperated “a-ya” sounds dead on, btw!)

  12. Hey, Glitterati! The burrito is very dangerous, true. But is it more dangerous before or after the ninja eats it???

    (I’ve been hanging around Squirt too much—his potty jokes have seeped into my brain!)

    Hi, Cyn. Wasn’t it interesting that a pirate’s “Arrr” gets turned into “Arrrrguuu”? Who knew?
