Why Me?

Old Santa could pick anyone to name a reindeer after. Try my old buddy Clyde Rzeznikowitz. Now whether he chose "Clyde" Or "Rzeznikowitz" makes no difference. Now I ask you, where in the team would he place him? Lessee, now it goes something like "On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer & Vixen. On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner & Blitzen!" But suposin' he had a terrible plague of Hemmoragic fever wipe out the whole team & he had to get all new ones - I can see it now a team named after Dutchyshyn; Mytryshyn; Oi, Wysocki; Wysocki, Odierno; Clapsaddle; & Gillogly. Of course, after Rudolph's nose went dark, he'd need a new leader for foggy nights in London Town & the only candidate came from Boston (along w/ John Oi) & was already named O'Grady. (Don't worry, the two Wysocki's are pronounced differently - one has been Anglicized, the other is pronounced in classic Polish).

If you wonder where I got that list of names from, they are taken from the offensive & defensive lines of Notre Dame back in the 1920's - It's why they are named "The Fighting Irish."

GH, to answer your original question, No, Santa did NOT name any of his coursers after me. Can you imagine Mrs. Santa permitting him to use names like "Pig-Headed," "*&&-$#^%," "&*+^-%$&@," & "Ignorant Fool" for the children of the world to hear reverberating off the chimney pots of the cities - Nah, she has more couth than that & he knows better tan to defy her.

Good grief, you must be bored out of your tree tonight.

You once confided to us that you always wear a crash helmet when driving to prevent head injuries. Or was it a colander to protect you from asteroids ? I don't remember.

But GH has got me thinking ; how do you manage with those enormous antlers ? Do you have holes drilled in the sides of the crash helmet ?

..just wonderin'

and you think GH is bored !!! .

You're a good sport Donr.

Sarah....didn't know it was a full moon but that explains some of the responses. :-)

Ian is back to thinking and ROBO Pop is torn.

Point taken about levitating....not a good move here.

Laughter is good medicine. Thanks for the chuckle guys.

Ian: To Answer Your Question...

...My Antlers just popped through my crash helmet - just like the horns on the helmets of the old Viking Warriors that inhabited Danesfield down near RAF Medmenham. How else do you think they kept those helmets on in battle? They did not have chin straps!

The collander was worn to prevent aliens from controlling my brain through the use of radio waves. It has worked so far!

Whaddya mean - Levitation...

by donr - 2015-01-05 08:01:39

...is frowned upon in here?

I just pick up my wand (36 Ounces; old pallet wood & bear gut - I'm a heavy hitter either in baseball or cricket). I challenge any wizard from the dark Side to try me. He/she will wind up in the cheap seats. I wave said wand gracefully over the object I wish to levitate & repeat the incantation taught me by Good Old Madam Pooks, herself ...Wingardium Leviosa...and it flies!!! It flies!!!! Careful, there Pop - I just might suspend you over the Great Lakes in the middle of a clipper swooping down out of the desolate wilderness of the Canadian north woods this January on its way to new York City.

Careful there, fellow moderators, try to stop me & you may be singing a chorus of "Fly me to the Moon" along w/ frank Sinatra as you pass through the stratosphere!.

Then there are the spells taught me by the master of all wizards - ElectricFrank! Ah, such elegance; such grace; such shocking impact. I think he cheated just a bit - I recall seeing him duel a Dark Wizard with his Ham Radio transmitter connected to the wand handle putting out a full KiloWatt. Ah, the sparks flew that stormy night. All the residents of the California desert country thought it was just a bad thunderstorm as lightning danced a tarantella across the vast sandy wilderness & the thunder echoed from peak to peak not unlike a demon suffering torture. But those of us in the know, know better. The ghosts of dark wizards of ages past wailed like banshees as their champion was struck by Frank's ultimate spell - worse than the "Death Spell." He called it "Medtronic's Curse," with an incantation that mere mortals blanche at the sound of and are incapable of even trying to repeat from unbridled fear and loathing. I recall it now, his wand slashing down, aiming right at his unworthy adversary's evil heart; a brilliant flash of light, whiter than white, brighter than bright, blinding all who had the temerity to watch, traveling a line straight to its target, almost in slow motion as the horror of what was about to happen gripped my senses & placed time in a deep freeze. The evil-cleansing light struck home & the wizard's heart exploded into a thousand fragments, arcing away from the violated chest that once gave it home, slowly losing brilliance as they cooled and shriveled in the death of their owner.

Suddenly the world was plunged into a Stygian blackness - darker than any that Jonah ever sensed inside the belly of Leviathan- and a deep silence enveloped the land signifying that peace had once again come to the world. A world that had awoken from a bad dream - nay a coma of nothingness unrivaled in history.

I heard Frank call my name through the darkness saying "Don, I need a Cappuccino!"

So - TAKE THAT, anti-levitators!

The full moon must be tonight. :-/

Full Moon......

by donr - 2015-01-05 11:01:55

I think I hear Professor Lupin out there crashing through the Forbidden Forest behind our house. All sorts of growling & a bit of howling.

Yes, there is a full moon. Our #2 Daughter, the ER Doc loves it when the moon is full. No strange bites, but lots of straaaaange people w/ straaaaaange problems come wandering through.

Bossy, we haven't heard from you in a while - what's your experience during the full moon?

Donr

...full moon is best viewed through the open passenger side front window of a car. Pop is correct - it is a glorious object to behold. Just be careful WHO beholding it!

Donr

I remember those days

by Grateful Heart - 2015-01-06 11:01:43


You could always tell when it was a full moon. 911 calls would be off the wall.....more than usual.

We used to ask "is it a full moon tonight" and sure enough......it was.

Bossy probably has her hands full with the full moon.
