.... like many on this board. But lately there's been a problem with the wheels on her welcome wagon and the wagon is in the shop for repairs. I think it has something to do with needing new brakes and alignment. So, in the mean time she is......

borrowing Villages Pl cart but on the condition she will only hand out healthy food, ( Villages Pl believes in doing healthful things), because twinkies are not good for anyone. As she continued on her merry way, an alligator started running towards the cart so Gracie.....

...using VPL's spanking brand new million dollar motor home as her welcome wagon inviting not only TOTV'ers in but anyone who has a resident's ID card including temporaries. When done Gracie will pay VPL $10 bucks to go toward the cleanup of the motor home's entrance steps and...

...empty the waste disposal tanks but hopefully not with the same way as Clark Griswold's relative in Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation--in the storm drains. http://youtu.be/LSqb4e8mUd4

Graciegirl also volunteers to.....

Homecoming Queen for the first TOTV parade and dinner dance. Joining her will be the King Tal who will give the commencement speech that will contain the following topics.........

Tal has so many topics on which he could converse fluently because Tal is one smart guy but this time he will talk on the subject of

Blooming where you are planted. He will discuss finding friends who make you comfortable and gathering them frequently to share food and fun and to laugh uproareously. (did I spell that right?)

After the speech Tal and his motor home group drove over to see the site where the new shopping mall may be someday. Mrs. Skyguy, (Eileen) said she hoped that there would be stores that sold.........................

Lawn ornaments but she would have to check her deed restrictions to see if they are allowed. Skyguy, her husband wished they would open a yogurt store so he could sample a different flavor everyday and not worry about gaining weight.

2B chimed in that he wished they would open an exercise type gym so he could lose all the weight he needed to and.........

...fit into his 1970s Disco clothes. He really missed those days dancing to Donna Summer's music. He could give John Travolta a run for his Saturday Night Fever money. http://youtu.be/Yu8z1DIMe9Q Skyguy adds....

That 2B would have to lose a ton of weight to fit into 70's clothes. BTW - 2B thinks he would look funny as that style never came back into vogue. polyesther suits EWWWWWWW. 2B went to find the singles group as they were having a dance that night and ran into........

...ChaChaCha who upon seeing 2B was having second thoughts about.... KathieI was also party crashing because she likes dances so much. While Tal was....

Over in the corner consulting his thesaurus in order to come up with clever yet abstruse posts. KathieI grabbed his arm to pull him to the dance floor, causing him to spill his Night Train Special wine all over his thesaurus. This caused Tal to become agitated and he announced to everyone that, henceforth he would........

buy, and start using the almost 4000 page Oxford Historical Thesaurus so he could become even more abstruse. Oxford University Press: Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary: Christian Kay. 2B then said....

"What the h e double hockey sticks does abstruse mean?" But at that exact moment the door flew open and in walked, no danced, none other than Mikeandnancy. Okay, shrieked Mike, "I want a Tom and Jerry and I want it right now!" Shaumburger, who was serving the festive beverage, while taken aback, replied nonetheless that she would.......

...have to talk to some Cheeseheads while praying for her beloved Bears on what to add into a Tom and Jerry. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/12/di...rink.html?_r=0 A huge Bear fan then said....

we get the Lions today and I hope they don't have their claws out. 2B said I don't know what abstruse means but after watching the Shawshank Redemption. I know what obtuse means. 2B then decided to go to the movies at The Rialto theater to see Lincoln and while there, he ran into Ed who was boasting about becoming a sage, (whatever that means), and Ed.......

...had to make sure he beat Bill-n-Brillo to the concession stand before Ed bought out all the fresh popcorn. Bill-n-Brillo, however,....

...went... nah na-nah na-nah-nah, I already bought up all the pop-corn. Bill then...

...got a refund for his Rialto Theater ticket and headed on over to the Barnstorm Theater to eat up all their popcorn. He met BillytheKid there and....

....and they had a shoot-out...pop, pop, pop, pop,...with their popcorn shooters. Thankfully, no one was hurt. But the food-police showed up and wanted to know if.....

...that was real butter in the popcorn and whether or not the chili was from Texas or New York City. New YORK Cityyyy???? Said Villages PL. Chili from New York City?? That's like.....

......that's like....terrible. New York City Chili is probably made with extra virgin olive oil instead of saturated animal fat or trans fat. No trans fat? Then they started popping the food-police....pop...pop...pop...pop....with their popcorn shooters. The food police then slipped on the butter and fell down. So the shooters, Billy The Kid and Ed, decided they had better.....

...Get out of town, pronto. The trouble is they could not find a horse or any other animals to ride in Brownswood even though it is supposed to be a replica of a cowtown. The steers were all bronze as were the horses. No dogs were large enough as no Great Danes were available and where oh where did the Buffalo roam??? So, Ed wrangled a gopher tortoise for each foot and each hand while Billy the Kid got really crazy and hopped on an alligator instead of the 4 gopher tortoises. K9Lover interjected....

Bump.

This is rediculous! You can't get out of town "pronto" on gophers 'n' gators! So K9 said, "Hold on, I'm calling a cab for you guys." Luckily, there was a cab just around the corner. They got in quickly and.....

...managed to elude the cops on bicycles (a new measure put on by the Wildwood police in Brownwood) but were unfortunately stopped by a group of TOTVers doing the 5th Annual Village Freeze. Samhass would not budge from her frozen position neither would KathieI. They took of in the cab into a field....

...... "A Field of Dreams". Boy, isn't this where they made a movie about baseball? I'm surprised it's still here. Well, the food Police will never think of looking for us here. They paid the cab driver $2,000 and gave him a $200 dollar tip, and the cab took off. Then they wondered.......

....where is Shoeless Joe Jackson?? Someone built it but he did not come. Skyguy pitched in with his opinion....

by saying.... "Don't take wooden nickels!" They then tossed his butt out the front gate and into the street where he.....

...managed to get up and run from a berzerk White Sox fan while also wishing everyone "Happy New Year!" The nutjob White Sox fan calmed down while P distracted her with an offered White Sox baseball cap. K9Lovers then added....

...."There are eight maids trying to milk those buffalo. What are they-- nuts??? Those are male buffalo". Tal then got an idea.....

to buy two French Hens so he could get free eggs to make home made crapes! However he never made it to the French Hen store because he saw six Geese a laying and...

...five golden rings. "Five golden rings" said Tal., "these must be worth something!" "I better sell them to a jewel, coin and gold collector and buy...."

a resident's season pass to Legoland in Winter Haven. But first he decided to bring the rings to Happinow to have her and her hubby check them out and get a professional opinion so he knows what he has before trying to sell them. One Happinow and her hubby check them out, Tal was advised....

...these Golden Rings are made of a very rare mineral that resembles fool's gold but does not have its many dangers like blowing up. So, actually because of all the labor that went into making them, they are actually worth more than real gold. Happinow suggests that they all go to Harry Potter World, if Tal can stand the lines. Tal says....

"I'm game! We'll meet at platform 9¾, jump through the brick wall and hop on the Hogwats Express and we'll be there in no time at all!" To that Happinow responded "Get real Tal, we can just drive there in one of.....

"....flying cars. Travolta must have one of these. We can always borrow it from Vinnie Barbarino. Just have to make sure John is in that character at that time and not in the Face/Off one." Graciegirl pipes in.....

Ninth Day of Christmas.
 

Bump.

2b like historical movies so he wnt to see Lincoln. While in the theater, 2b saw a movie about FDR that he thinks would be worthwhile seeing but at another time. He went to the concession stand and Bill was making popcorn for the unwashed masses. Skyguy bvought a big vat of popcorn that could feed many people but said it was all for him and........

...his pooka Harvey. Harvey has a huge appetite for a 6' 4" 220 lb. rabbit. Well, my pooka is better than yours said....

Bill. The argument contiued with Gracie stepping in and said, 'this is a new year and I will have it starting with everyone fighting". Gracie who grew up in Ahia not far from the Hatfields and McCoys feud that has been brewing for over a hundred years. Gracie had enlisted the help of Redwitch to stage a peaceful demostartion for people that......
