Turkeys gobble, "Thanks!" (mainly to vegans), While vegans say, "Thanks for all the seeds, man." Seeds sprout their thanks for water, soil and light. Lights blink thanks for an evening rest to Night. Night winks, "Thanks for the tickles!" to owls and bats. Owls hoot their thanks for plump and juicy rats. Rats squeak thanks … Continue reading Turkeys Give Thanks

Photo Punchline: Pumpkin Patch
"Did you hear about the surfer who tried to catch a wave while wearing a mask?" "Uh-oh... What happened?" "He got all jacked up." More Surfer Statue fun.

Scary Share-y
Two questions: Are you ready for Halloween? Not me! Thanks to neighbors, though, I can share this: And thanks to my co-workers, share this: 2. Did you understand my Bodie reference in the last post? Yes? No? Should I explain Bodie?
Pumpkin Spice Serenity
Remember Bubba from "Forrest Gump" and his litany of ways to cook shrimp? The kitchen at my current job is well-stocked with a variety of snacks. The guy who stocks the snacks is extremely proud of the current pantry.

Psst! Wanna Hear a Secret?
While schmoozing my way through the Mayor convention -- that's one of the perks of my blog, I can give myself any honorific I want, and this week I'm Mayor of Campfire Tales. Anyway, while enduring the paparazzi with the Mayor of Whoville, he got all name-droppy, so I casually asked, "Guess who's stalking me?" … Continue reading Psst! Wanna Hear a Secret?
