Just a silly little TR - Run Away!!

[Thumper_Man]

Really? I thought for sure you would be the one to get this one. Magicfor2 seems to have figured it out already. But for sure I thought the great and power Ponzi would have picked up on this one. I'm a little disappointed

Here's a hint: He is not referring to a character per se...The person he is referring to actually plays HIMSELF.

Lady H is correct. We can watch this over and over. Heck I probably know every line by heart now.

Yes, Magic seems to know who I'm referring to. And to the rest of you who know who it is, don't tell Ponzi. I'll reveal it to him a little later on down the line. Give him a chance to figure it out. It's possible he may not have ever seen it, but I know very few people who haven't.

The "great and powerful" hunh? Didn't you ever see The Wizard of Oz? All smoke and mirrors, my dear.

I better never have seen this movie... or I'm going to be real embarrassed. Not that that'll be anything new!

 

[Heluvsme]

I love trivia! And I love that quote from the no-lip Frank Burns!! Fascinating!

At the end of my emails is my signature, then underneath my signature is another quote about being nice... it says, "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."

"Oh no my dear, I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad Wizard."

Smoke and Mirrors maybe, But he was a very smart man. Had everyone fooled.

Thanks, now I don't have to buy a book this week to read.

Can I be nice and important? What if you live in Nice, France. Does that mean you're automatically unimportant?

"Oh no my dear, I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad Wizard."

Shouldn't that be "a very NICE man"?

Smoke and Mirrors maybe, But he was a very smart man. Had everyone fooled.

Okay... I won't necessarily refer to myself as a 'smart' man... but I'll take the fool part.

Thanks, now I don't have to buy a book this week to read.

Uh, oh. Sounds like I might've just been called out for running on at the keyboard.

Welcome to the loonie bin!

And to the DIS!

I'm going have to come to aid of my beloved Lady H and say that she is correct. And no, not just because she is my beloved Lady H that I'm coming to her aid; but because you have just trenched into her all time favorite movie. So technically I'm coming to your aid and to help you avoid further embarassment.

Don't believe me, click HERE for the proof. Make sure and turn up your speakers. Sound is quite low. Proof is at 1:42 I believe.

 

[nrod]

Yeah, but sometimes the Nebo sarcasm approach is called for too.

Oh there's ALWAYS room for sarcasm!!

You ever have one of those days when you just can't win?

1. I have no idea who Jeffrey is. Maybe someone from a Bill Cosby skit?

2. I had no doubts about the wizard quote but follow my (admittedly, frequently warped) thought process.

Mrs. H referred to me as "the great and powerful ponzi" (in jest of course, otherwise she'd've said "the meak and weak ponzi").

I then said it was llike the Wizard of Oz, all smoke and mirrors.

Mrs. H then used the "good man" quote.

Since I was still referring to myself... and I've lost count of all the people I've fooled... um... tricked... ummm.... brainwashed... uh.... Let's try again. All the people who've kindly called me 'nice', I changed the quote to "a very nice man".

Okay?

Otherwise...

I'll get you, my bunny, and your little wife, too!

Frank Burns, MASH. Can't remember the reaction. I went to youtube, hoping to find a video quickly, didn't find the one I was looking for but this one is fun:

Home. Got to watch it. That was great! Thanks!

Ah, grasshopper. I see you have done your homework. For not knowing who Jeffrey is, you got the right comedian. What gave it away? Was it Lady H's hint: HIMSELF? That's the title of his DVD. Here is a youtube link so you can learn about Jeffrey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs0cYJUqJys&list=FLzEkwWu1qDqfZm7ThKixibA&index=1&feature=plpp_video

Yes! I am not losing my marbles.

Confucious say: "Man who have nothing can not lose anything.

Okay. So I don't have marbles to lose. No wait, that's not true either, I think I have at least one, 'cause when I tilt my head from side to side I hear a hollow clunking sound.

Wow. I got off topic there.

I've never seen that video. So I had no idea who Jeffrey was. I Googled and Googled until my fingers were worn down to nubs and my eyes were ruined from squinting at the monitor... and thought, "Maybe... just maybe, this mention of Bill Cosby/Jeffrey/airplane is what Thumper_Man is talking about.

But it was pretty much as random a guess as anything else.

The vid was pretty funny too, so thanks for the link!

Ok, just home, and had to go to the last page to make sure nobody died before I ,,, um,,, comment on the twelve days of Ponzi that I missed,,,( " On the first day of Ponzi, know what he gave me? A bag of nuts he bought in Ha-why-eee"), but I had to see he was already taken to task for mis-quoting WOO.. and I am all with Lady H on this one.
So, would it be ok If I slowly catch up and quote old chapters? just a few here and there,,, crap,, I've got 12 pages or so to catch up, geesh!,,, how'ed this guy get so popular?
Anyway,,, got 300 Ish-Mails to go and delete first,,, and you know you have to at least glance at them before hitting the go-aaway button, but I'll catch up,,,,honest,,, by our anniversary,,,, in June,,, if not,,, then our second anniversary,,, in November.

( Can't believe you called Thumper, Bunny man. Wow, this is a guy who goes out ;and shoots,,, um,,,once a year,, he goes out and shoots,,, WELL, he goes out, anyway!)
Just kidding, Bugs.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Welcome back, Nebo! Glad to see you made it back alive at least. Remains to be seen how the rest of you is. I hope all went well!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Signing on... This TR is hilarious...

The hubby and I took our brats to Maui in December, but would love to visit Honolulu!!

Hey! Welcome back! As for your concern. You're good. As far as I know, no one has shuffled off this mortal coil. Or shuffled off to Buffalo... But I did....

DO THE SHUFFLE!
do do do do do do-do do do
do do do do do do-do do do
do do do do do do-do do do
do do do do do do-do do do....

I know... it's "Do the Hustle". But that wouldn't be anywhere near as much fun.

( " On the first day of Ponzi, know what he gave me? A bag of nuts he bought in Ha-why-eee"),

Nice one. But I kinda had to get you a bag of nuts... matches your personality.

but I had to see he was already taken to task for mis-quoting WOO.. and I am all with Lady H on this one.

Nope. I stand by what I said. If you're happy and you know it, say WOO!!!

So, would it be ok If I slowly catch up and quote old chapters? just a few here and there,,,

I was hoping you would, actually.

crap,, I've got 12 pages or so to catch up, geesh!,,, how'ed this guy get so popular?

Nope. Not popular. I think folks just wandered over here while they waited for your next TR. My writing isn't quite in your league, but I've been trying.

Anyway,,, got 300 Ish-Mails to go and delete first,,, and you know you have to at least glance at them before hitting the go-aaway button, but I'll catch up,,,,honest,,, by our anniversary,,,, in June,,, if not,,, then our second anniversary,,, in November.

Ugh. email. the boone and scourge of 21st century mankind. Have fun!

( Can't believe you called Thumper, Bunny man. Wow, this is a guy who goes out ;and shoots,,, um,,,once a year,, he goes out and shoots,,, WELL, he goes out, anyway!)

Yup. Not even a "hey". I think he might be getting soft. But don't tell him I said so.

Hi Toni! Welcome! Nice to see you again.

 

[shan23877]

Just found the TR and joining in!

What a start! I don't think I'd have kept my cool as well as you did. And yes, Chicago is big, and so is the airport! Did you get to run through the really cool laser light show terminal?

What a great view!

I have an excellent cookie recipe if it's required for membership....

Hi Shannon and welcome to the TR from left field.

I've been through the laser light show twice and both times I was in too much of a hurry to stop and watch it. I know Elle was impressed with it and is one of the things she mentioned as a memory of the trip.

It was a great view. We got a little bonus one night too, which I'll mention later.

Cookie recipes are not required for membership, all are welc.... wait. Did you say it was an excellent cookie recipe?....

Yes, no one is allowed to post or read other posts without first having submitted a cookie recipe. I'll allow you this one since you didn't know the rules. Now you know the rules and you are in violation until you meet your obligation.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

No we didn't. I treated Hawaii like I treat Disney World. There's too much to do and you can drive yourself nuts trying to do it all. House Without a Key was higher on my list... and we didn't do that either.

That might be a theme that comes up in the next chapter...

Never heard of House Without a Key! I'll be watching!
