Geez, I must have been sitting on that post a long time. (Hi **Barbarian** ) You guys snuck in under my radar. Another drunā€¦errr social gathering sounds good to me, but my list of area Dopers isnā€™t current. We should start a thread to solicit a new list. Hi **Solomon7t** , thanks for dropping by. (Iā€™ve been sitting on this post a long time, too. I _am_ at work you know, and sometimes they want me to, you know, work.) ---

Congrats, Bumbazine! A few celebratory poems for you: The meaning of the morning 'Midst the moaning of the moon Bespeaks a specious speck of speech That quarters past the noon * * * Where is my darlinā€™, My Betty Blue-Eye? Always a-snarlinā€™ And fightinā€™ with pie * * * Oh, I may be your cup of tea But baby, donā€™t you ā€œsugarā€ me! Donā€™t stir me, boy, nor try to spoon Donā€™t sugar me, 'cause us is throon! ---

Hereā€™s some more poetry for you, **Bumbazine** : 1000 posts! What a milestone! Could this be the start or continuation Of something new and exciting? Perhaps a spark of interestā€¦ A spark to be charged with delight and giddiness To take off in this world of gloom and doom Perhaps to make the world be At least a little better True, it may not change things On a grand epic scale But if it changes the little things Then that is what matters most A spark to dance in the moonlight That will shine on your lifeā€™s path fair And that will give you inspiration Yea, that and hope anon Ah, the wonderful potential of this spark It will light a fire within you To be able to appreciate the good things In your life, and that of others (scansion and meter probably way off; no rhyming at all; but thatā€™s the best I can do off the top of my head) And as for the postion of Sex Symbol[sup]TM[/sup], I am feeling undecidedly sexy right now, unfortunately. ā˜¹ But you can dream all you want, I guess! šŸ˜‰ Iā€™ll get back to you on that, though. šŸ™‚ ---

Hi **Pugluvr!** How are you my friend? Thank you for making me get out my Walt Kelly again. _Thereā€™s a Star in the wind, and the wind winds high, Blowing alight thru fog, thru night. Thru cold, thru cold and the bitter aloneā€¦ There high in the wind rides a Star, my ownā€¦ And the Star is a wordā€¦of white, of whiteā€¦ And the star in the wind is a Word._ You know **handy** , sometimes I wish _I_ was more like me, but I wouldnā€™t wish that fate on you. Be well. **Flamsterette\_X** , that was wonderful. Thank you. (You do realize that weā€™re cheating and quoting Walt Kelly donā€™t you? I have no discernable talent at poetry myself, though I suspect **Pugluvr** does.) Hereā€™s another Walt Kelly poem: \* Have you ever, while pondering the ways of the morn, Thought to save just a bit, just a drop in the horn, To pour in the evening or late afternoon Or during the night when weā€™re shining the moon? Have you ever cried out, while counting the snow, Or watching the tomtit warble helloā€¦ ā€œBreak out the cigars, this life is for squirrels; Weā€™re off to the drugstore to whistle at girlsā€\* Two smooches from **Scotti**! Iā€™m swooning. Youā€™re forgiven Dear. (Just as long as I get invited to **Rue** ā€™s party.) ---

Of COURSE you will be invited to **Rue** ā€™s party. I always invite all my friends to my parties, even if they donā€™t like each other, which I know is not the case in this instance. And somehow, everyone seems to get along just fine. Iā€™m not sure just why, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that if someone is unkind to someone I care about I will become sad, thereby making (unintentianally) sad eyesā€¦nah, most likely it is that ā€œScotti will speak severely to youā€ thingā€¦or maybe people are just afraid that I will cry and they donā€™t want to DEAL with it. šŸ™‚ Or maybe it is because I although I have a LOOOONNNGG fuse, if you diss my friends I get to the end of that fuse REALLY fast and trust meā€¦long fuse, BIG bang. Trust me. I speak the truth. I forgive well and easily, though. Well, enough about me. Wanna dance now? ---
