Fantastic word game

The bottled water at Illusions is advertised as coming from some local springs but most of the patrons quit drinking the water after they found out that it was actually just plain old tap water which Mister WMC put into bottles and kept inside the springs under his mattress.

Which reminds me of an old joke: Have you ever heard of the town of Burnt Mattress, Arkansas? It's right above Hot Springs. :)
 
A big wad of money might be just a handful of pocket change, which is pretty much what PowerWorld paid for Illusions, which wasn't exactly a bargain considering all of the work that we will be putting into cleaning and renovating.
 
Cleaning and renovating Illusions will take place during the week from Monday through Friday as we will continue to host Kenny and WMC's 80s Rockfest on Saturday nights and Sundays will be used for cleanup time.

That's right, the dump will be closed during the week for a couple of months but we'll still be rocking the house Saturday nights.
 
Cleanup time at this here place usually means rounding up the dishes and other various articles, picking up the loose trash lying around, and tidying up the carpets with the vacuum cleaner.
 
The vacuum cleaner somewhat resembles a bagpipe, and makes roughly the same sound.

I actually have an old LP that is supposedly by an "electric bagpipe band." How do you electrify a bagpipe? Do you hook up an amp or a blower motor? Or maybe both??
 
The same sound that is made by a bagpipe can be duplicated by someone stepping on the tails of five cats at the same time.

Many years ago, the Scottish-born brother of my next-door neighbor came to visit him. He brought his bagpipes...and he played them in the backyard. Other than when I've been at parades which featured one or two bagpipers, I've never been that close to a bagpiper. Believe me, it wasn't by choice! Here is today's Fun Factoid: Scottish people seldom use the word "bagpipes," preferring to call them "the pipes" or "a set of pipes."
 
At the same time, that would be a nasty thing to do to those poor little kitties; so don't do that.

The best description of bagpipes I ever heard was in a "Chipmunks" cartoon I saw as a kid. Alvin sees a Scotsman playing the pipes, and asks David Seville, "Hey Dave, what's that guy in a skirt doing wrestling that octopus?" (P.S. Call it a skirt and you might get yourself kilt.)
 
Don't do that again or I'll have to suspend you from the workforce.

We have a band camp programming alert. We had originally planned on having a Memorial Day Weekend band camp extravaganza. Due to an unforeseen lack of RSVPs, we have decided to cancel it and hold an even bigger one for the July 4th extravaganza. We thank the PowerWorld associates that had already volunteered. We will have a planning meeting Monday morning.
 
In the last ten years we have seen that "an unforeseen lack of RSVPs" for any event, regardless of time of year, usually means that one of WMC's bubbling bathing beauties surprised him with a trip to Daytona Beach.

This year is a bit different, however, since the extravaganza involves a more somber tone as the campers decorate the graves of our fallen servicemen with American flags. The library interns sent out invitations, and the response from parents was overwhelming.
 
Spring break this year showed us a few areas that could use some spring cleaning during spring training.

Oh there are millions of spring puns in there, LARR? Where are you to springboard off that one?
 
Spring cleaning during spring training probably should have included more players for my Red Sox who are mired near the bottom of the standings.

Speaking of Daytona Beach, Miss Silkie, I am headed there next Saturday :D and will be there for a week. You will be in charge during that period of time although, as always, I'll still be dropping in.
 
The standings, as it were, are early in the season still, so don't sweat it too much, enjoy your lack of RSVPs next week, and before you leave the hotel computer behind be sure to upload your trip to a cloud, so that darth can retrieve and run it.
 
The other site has been sold to the American Optometry Association and is now filled with tips and advice for those with vision problems, and it is truly a site for sore eyes.

Today's Fun Factoid: Eyeglasses have their origin in the 1st Century AD. In a 1996 issue of Nerosurgery magazine, Timothy Kriss wrote a history of the microscope, He quoted Seneca the Younger, who wrote: "Letters, however small and indistinct, are seen enlarged and more clearly through a globe or glass filled with water." It is believed that Nero tried to see more clearly by looking through such globes.
 
Sit down for a bite to eat and a long, tall glass of iced tea in the lounge, while we link up with the other site to see how darth is doing, and hope he is sitting down for an Orangina before he stands back up and we can't find him in the cloud, because he is soooo tall.
