The Adventures of Bullwinkle

So glad you are A-Ok...and able to tell your serious story in such an entertaining and hilarious manner!

I especially liked the speculation about the LHP...I nearly fell off my chair!

If I had 15 minutes to pack I'd definitely make a copy of this post of yours!

Oh you ungulates...always on the hoof!

If you're involved with insurance I'm sure your hooves will be full following up with all of the claims...remember to get your rest...and if you want to sleep sound skip the chili and red wine!

Seriously...thanks for the update. We're very relieved to know that you and your family are ok.

goodness - glad you had time to tell us you are OK, and like Gotwood said in a humorous way. I'm assuming your home is safe. Thanks for the update.

Take care.

Places to see: St Basils and the Pyramids, followed closely by seeing son play in a pro setting. (Had to say that didn't I)

Packing: Scrapbooks, laptop, external hard drive with all the pictures on it, followed closely by contact solution, tooth paste, and wet naps

Living in hurricane country for 31 years, each year I am going to pack up things in waterproof bags in case of roof coming off.
As soon as hurricane season is over, gonna get right to it.
CAT1 might strike close on wednesdy, not much time, but we've had worse.
So glad that Bullwinkle and family and all of our SoCal HSBBWsters are ok.

ITS,
The Moose is alive and kicking.
Just a slight Smokey Flavor now.

Glad everything's OK Winkle, Take care.
EH

Glad to hear the Moose family is alive and kicking.

I would pack my pictures, sewing machine, laptop, computer, and my kitties.

My son would pack his batbag, ws ring, Nolan Ryan autographed memoribilia and of course the video games.

My husband said Gunner and me.

Glad to hear you're going strong Bullwinkle!

unbelieveable fire. i too am glad you and your family are ok.
in case of a fire or any natural calamity i'm ready to leave now, i came into the world with nothing and i'm pretty sure that's how i'm leaving. as long as the family's safe i'm good to go, as a matter of fact i practice the evacuation every morning. can't be to carefull.

Bullwinkle, we're all glad to hear you are safe. Is your home and neighborhood okay?

Things to pack in 15 minutes:

1. 90-lb lab, and his leash and harness so he can stay out of trouble wherever we end up. (I would have said kids first, but they are both away at college.)

2. Try to call two sons at college and make sure they are safe from harm. Probably unable to reach; leave messages on cell phones.

3. Purse, wallet, cell phone, car keys.

4. Two computers and external hard drive...needed for my small business so I can continue working wherever we end up.

5. Two boxes of photos from when sons were small.

I think time's up, time to move out!

Great post Moose... you are the man, er; Moose.
So glad to hear you all are aok.

1. Wife's box of precious mementos (or is mementoes)
2. MY baseball memorabilia...many baseballs
3. Wedding album
4. All 3 laptops
5. "Strong box" of important papers

Top 10 places to see before I die:
Augusta National in April
Wrigley Field in Summer
Ireland
Hawaii
(that's all I can come up with...I don't get out much)

Very glad we're not reading a recipe for Barbecued Moose.

A lawyer friend had an office fire years ago, and was heard yelling to his secretary, "Throw IN the tax records!!!"

Ditto that from me too, Bullwinkle.

Made me laugh out loud twice, Hokie.............

Those "before I die" lists kind of freak me out because one time I was taking a class and the prof. shared with us his lists of "Books to read before I die" .... two days later he died. It was pretty freaky. (sort of like the Roberto Clemente quote, "I just gotta get that hit. You never know, I might die.")

Did you ever peek into his office skipper? Maybe he just chucked it in 'cuz he was overwhelmed!

Day Two

Moosedate 20071023.0200hrs: I am tired of sleeping on the wood floor. I need to get back to town to help clients. The National Guard is set up….I must use all my ninja skills to get past 20 year olds with M16’s. Only one way into town…

I taped the conversation on the possibility that I would have to face Judge Judy.

Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
First Car in Line: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?
First Car in Line: My name is TPM.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
First Car in Line: To see Dice Baseball become a national pastime.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your favorite color?
First Car in Line: Blue.
Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go.
First Car in Line: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.


Next Car: That's easy.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Next Car: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?
Next Car: Sir Robin of Bonsall.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Next Car: To get much needed medicine from my house.
Bridgekeeper: What... is the capital of Assyria?
[pause]
Next Car: I don't know that.
[he is thrown over the edge into the volcano]
Next Car: Auuuuuuuugh.


Bridgekeeper: Stop. What... is your name?
Next Car in Line: Sir Galahad of the IRS.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Next Car in Line: I seek my lost goats.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your favorite color?
Next Car in Line: Blue. No, yel...
[he is also thrown over the edge]

Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Bullwinkle: To seek the wit and the love of the game.
Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Bullwinkle: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don't know that.
[he is thrown over]
Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh.
MnMom: How do know so much about swallows?
Bullwinkle: Well, you have to know these things when you're a Hero, you know.

Moosedate 20071023.0400hrs: House OK……Pool black with ash.

Moosedate 20071023.0600hrs: Get to office….54 messages on machine…take deep breath and pick up phone.

Moosedate 20071023.2010hrs: Get home for sleep, can’t leave now, and would never get back in…work on pool….it’s really weird, no sound, no birds, no nothing. It’s funny, with all the white noise; it is freaky to only hear my heartbeat. Smoke and ash all over house, deck and trees. Keep curtains open to see fire if it comes.

Topics to discuss:
1) Would you have stayed or left town when ordered?
2) What white noise would you miss?

Glad that you and your family are OK. After you get some much needed rest it will be time for you to get up and move your ash!

The white noise reminded me of being in Atlanta (the worlds #1 busiest passenger airport) after 9/11. We lived south of the airport at the time and the silence was deafening.

1) Left. No doubt about it.

Was the second installment based on Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail?? I think I remember something like that on there.

Glad to hear everything is not burned to the ground.

1) I'm out of Dodge in a hurry
2) I would miss the sounds of the winds through the trees.

A brilliant "Moosely" treatment of the Sacred Celluloids of Python is certainy a welcome respite from the firery troubles of the day...

Let's all sing...in celebration of the adventures of the moose...

He's the Mighty Moose of the HSBaseball Web Site
He posts whene'er he's able
Without burdine's, rewrites Python scenes
With hoofwork impecc-able.
He dines well there coastside in Irvinealot
He eats clams, is a ham, and spams a lot.

He's the Mighty Moose of the HSBaseball Web Site
His posts are form-id-able
But many anothers post
From the left coast
Is really quite un-ten-able
The're 'eater mad in Irvinealot
The cheer from the stands a lot.

In adventures He's tough and able.
Quite indefatig-able
Between his fire combat
Moose wears an anteater hat
And catches 'em on the cable
For it's a busy life there in Irvinealot.

1) Would have sent children away,..and stayed with the fort. ( military wife/mom,..what can I say? )

2) Everyday sounds in the morning. People jogging by, an early morning dog bark, sprinklers, ...the birds having their morning chat on my deck,....noises from children skipping to the school bus stop, even a distant leaf blower,....all signs that there is life.

Who knew silence could be so deafening.

Hey Shortstopmom-
People are looking for you in Ladies Only

Thank you kindly Iheartbb,...like most things,..I had no clue!

OK kids, I'm not a die-hard MP fan but do love the movies. But Bullwinkle, I'm not sure if you ever noticed this or not but watch the credits at the beginning of The Holy Grail VERY closely. Specifically, the bottom of them and see what's written. I watched it last night for some odd reason ( ) and just died laughing!!!
