On the Twelfth Day of Christmas.
 

...confused as he had no idea this was the famous Bounce. Westies look pretty much all alike. Samhass pulled Bounce's tail to get him off Coach Ryan as you are supposed to do with pure-breed Westies when they are stuck. Coach Ryan then said....

..."what's with all these drummers drumming? There's 12 of them, aren't there? Are the Gators sending in re-inforcements because I lack a Tim Tebow tattoo??? They could have at least sent in the gorgeous U of FL cheerleaders rather than these hurly-burly all male 12 drummers." The Office - 12 Drummers Drumming - Video - NBC.com

Pooh says-- "That's just an illusion because of the uniforms used by the drummers' vis-a-vis those scanty one's used by the Gator cheerleaders. Some of the drummers could be girls."

VillagesPL adds....

Bump.

....isn't that 11th Drummer Abe Vigoda? Abe Vigoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Tal says, "Abe Vigoda! Loved him in Barney Miller as Fish." Bounce starts barking and....

...into the pool area walk
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!


KathieI complains, "How am I going to swim with all these creatures around?" 2B says.....

...Well, at least you do not have the complete sets from each 12 Days of Christmas songs. Then you would have to contend with 12 partridges in a pear tree as well as 24 turtle doves, 36 French hens, 48 calling birds, 60 golden rings, 72 geese a-laying, etc.

"What a zoo!" says Graciegirl as we await the 12th Night. "We should call 12th Night Zoo Night" pipes in....

Happy Epiphany.
 

...Happinow says, "Well, at least there are just 12 drummers drumming, 132 drummers would be quite a band to go along with the zoo."

"We have enough of a menagerie for a parade!" chirps in Skyguy.

Graciegirl adds.....

HEY! Skyguy isn't a canary; he can't chirp!!! But maybe Tal has a better idea than Skyguy and....

..he gets out his wine drenched and now badly stained Thesaurus and....

...looks up chirp. "You must have had those 12 partridges on your mind" suggests Bill-N-Brillo. Who adds....

"Forget about'um! You'll never get them out of the pear tree!" So Tal figures he'll look up quack instead and see if...

...he can get the swans, geese, calling brids, doves and hens out of the pool with the proper calls. GatorGus suggests wrestling an alligator into the pool. Samhass adds.....

snakes as things to throw into the pool. Samhass also adds.....

...."we could always throw in some cats. That would really get rid of all these birds in a hurry from the feline's going berzerk from the water. The kitties would have life preservers on, of course".

Men of the men of TOTV have really enjoyed the 108 ladies a dancing. Bonds 12 Days of Christmas Ad - 9 Ladies Dancing - YouTube
KathieI who has had a lot of company at her nightly dancing places. She says....

..."The dancing floors have been a little too crowded with all these 108 ladies a dancing from the Twelve Days of Christmas. It has given me an Epiphany though." "What?" asked Happinow?

"I'll tell you next Twelve Days of Christmas, but Tal certainly can't add." says KathieI. "There are only 27 ladies a dancing in our Epiphany parade". comments Samhass.

Tal says "I am beginning to feel like a herbivore man with all my latest posts. All dressed up with no where to go".

So he figured it must be time for a new chapter:

Chapter 3 perhaps?

In this chapter, the twelve days of Christmas have ended and now we are looking forward to Valentines Day. Some on TOTV are thinking of sending Valentines to others on the board. And one of them is.......

2B who has many favorites. He was going to send cards and to some gifts but it started to become cost prohibitive. Heavens to murgatroid........
what to do?????? He then decided to name his favorite but.....

..... then wondered if her husband would mind. Last time he sent a Valentine to his favorite, he ended up getting......

punched in the breadbasket with a stale hotdog bun by the jealous hubby. After he recovered....

he ate the hotdog with the stale bun and proceeded to go to a bar where he could recover by drinking himself stupid. While at the bar he met......

...Gary Morse. He was doing his Henry V and Falstaff thing by mixing in with the ordinary Villagers to get perspective. Except that 2B proceeded to drink Mr. Morse under the table. Hard to get a new viewpoint of the needs of the Villages from underneath a table unless you are seeing if this establishment has removed the gum and other stains on the table undersides.

VillagesPL helped Mr. Morse up, while 2B asked him....

can you give me a couple of million until my uncle straightens out, he's hunchback. Gary gave 2B the evil eye look and 2B knew he was in trouble so he rounded up the girls posse for protection and then he felt safe until.....

" is the meaning of life?" Mr. Morse looked strangely at 2B then proceeded to explain to him that.....

"There's no crying in baseball." says the Tom Hanks character in A League of Their
 

..."There's no philosophy in real estate development!! You make a buck or you do not."

Happinow replied.....

there's got to be more to it than that as you have built TV and no other retirement comunity can compare. People are moving in TV in droves. Faithful Frank disagreed as he lives in Stonecrest and he stated he got more house for his money. Happinow replied that FF does not have TV lifestyle so.....

...FF takes advantage by using the Villages' town squares as much as he can to dance with KathieI and Rockinronda and sing with Sue Schuler; going to the movies at Barnstorm, Old Mill Playhouse, and the Rialto Theaters with Tal and many others; playing bocce ball, pickleball, billiards, and swimming as a gatecrasher with whomever lets him....

FF even takes his pooch to Doggie Doo Run Run with Schotzyb, Barefoot, Tal, and many of the other TOTVers who go there.

Fumar has this to say....

... :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

While Bill-N-Brillo adds:

:popcorn: :popcorn:

And Ed, insists:

:popcorn: :popcorn:

And Ed insists that popcorn is good but two bags are more than enough. He said, "I can't eat more than two because......"

"...you'll need Ex-Lax if you eat a great deal of this stuff at once. You will feel like a stuffed turkey just before Thanksgiving dinner".

"Stuffed Turkey" adds Samhass. "That reminds me of the time I cooked...."

...a meal for a boyfriend who told me I could not cook. I sure wanted to stuff that turkey".

"At least you did not get a cooked ham" cuts in Patty. "What's a 'cooked ham' asks Ed. "An actor or actress who had been out in the sun or in a tanning bed for too long".

"I got a joke for you" said......

Graciegirl, but I won't tell it to you because you might go and post it on TOTV and you might get banned if you do. So after signing a disclaimer Ed....

...posted this on TOTV. "We Are Mizzou" Music Video - YouTube After watching this, PattyLand quipped....

..."Wonder how well Mizzou will do in the S.E.C. in College Basketball?" Missouri Tigers Basketball 2012-13 Schedule - Tigers Home and Away - ESPN

Tal says 12-2 so far in the S.E.C. He adds "Mizzou sure busted my March Madness Bracket in 2012". :cus:


Skyguy ask everyone "What are you getting your Sweetheart for Valentine's Day?" Since he wanted to get the subject back on track.

But no one seemed eager to answer because they were afraid they might....

...spoil their beloved's surprise even if most people seem to give roughly the same thing each year. Graciegirl countered with....

Bill of SNL fame said, "Oh Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!I hope you didn't shoot any possum to make those boots.Mr Ed, not of tv fame, said no, they all died of natural cause. heheheheheheheh Thy decided to by P a birthday present so they went to.......

.....boy Howdy wanted everyone to know that his full name is "Boy Howdy Doody" and that he is the great grandson of the Howdy Doody of show business fame. He inherited the Howdy Doody fortune and that's why he can afford to buy the possum hide boots. He also said, "these boots are made for....."

Balls!!!!!!:Time to relax at the pool and think about what to do for dinner

as there are many choices.Redsauce, Sonny's BBQ, The Lighthouse or Bonefish Grill. I decided I would ask Gracie and she recommended The Lighthouse because it served bang bang shrimp On the way there, my cart was cut off in a roundabout and......

....the offending driver was very offended at getting the bird and....

he gave him the bird. These birds of this type of a feather do no flock together. Two wrong don't make a right so they went their separate ways.
Afte arriving at The Lighthouse, pturner was standing in line and the waiter said, y'all need to have reservation. P said. since when have y'all been taking reservations and whipped out her squirt gun and threatened to water down the waiter with his menus in hand and...........
