So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble? |
So this morning, on my way over to the mainland, I decided to stop in at "Invalid Item" , for a quick breakfast snort – sandwich, yeah that's it, a quick egg, ham, and, cheese on a toasted roll, with butter, salt, and pepper. Anywho! This notice was posted on the door; Tell us all about "? Day" in a blog entry. The best ideas for 'MUSE DAY' will be selected– Then we'll celebrate that day on a future date in the Banana Bar. It was scrawled in crayon and fastened to the door with a steak knife. Which means it's an official message from Andre. You can tell he worked hard on it because he used three different crayons! Now I'm kinda busy with a semi-temporary, super top-secret project. I even have to wear a suit! But, this intrigued me. What Day would the four misfits muses who constitute my writing persona consider worthy of Celebration? It's not like any of them need an excuse to celebrate. The four of them will drop anything to have a party, including my charge card onto the bar. But, I digress. A Guavé Tortuga, ol' slow and steady, unless of course, he's in Lil' Lime Squeeze mode, was the first to chime in. He proposed the following possible days; Lay Back and Relax Day! There's Always Tomorrow Day! Lil' Lime Squeeze chimed in with; It's Five O'clock Somewhere Day! On my way to the water taxi I ran into Pub Bunny next, he suggested these days of celebration; Waiter! There's a Hare In My Soup/Cocktail Day! Bleery Eyed, Floppy Eared and Bushy Tailed Day! – Which sounds more like a personal statement to me. Anon-Y-Monkey jumped in, literally, he jumped out of a nearby tree with these beauties; Go Away and Leave Me Alone Day! (I actually typed alone three different ways, until I finally spelled it correctly—I hate that speed-reading program from Elementary School.) Give Something Away Day! — Not necessarily something of value, which is often his specialty. Lastly, I shared the fast trip across the rippling pond with Grumpy the Leprechaun. He thought about his answer for a long time, I thought he was going to come up with something very profound. Turns out I was wrong again! He first said, "we should celebrate all things Irish." I pointed out Saint Paddy's Day already did that. Grumpy replied. "Fair enough, let me ruminate a bit more lad." Finally, he came up with; Don't Put Ice In M'Grog Day! Keep The Booze Away From That Monkey Day! Why is There A Hare In Me Brew Day? And, most likely his best suggestion; Celebrate Yer Barkeep/Bar Manager Day!
