Not Quite Joel

I smell Pulitzer.

Or at least the Von Drehl Award for Eye of Hurricane coverage.

Still largely affected by the previous kit comments, I incorrectly read the second link above as " What's Left: A Ravaged Island Covered with Rabbits."

And thanks, shriek, I forgot the moslings.

Reposting:

Fish? Somebody's having salmon for dinner? I'd settle for tuna, really, although what I really want is delicious reeky smoked sturgeon, the kind you just want to roll in, it smells so delish...

Fun to ogle fish;
They wriggle, goggle, and leap right
In my mouth, flapping!

Large stealthy sturgeon
Waits in deer-drowning currents
Grabs food-- and is hooked.

Wise are fishy ways
Never swim straight; ring self with chums
And thrash hard when caught.

Minion?

that kitchen counter is flawed, I know I said carp at least three time, and it didn't make the list. I thought that post was quite clever if I do say so myself.

Forwarded, but no mention of moslings.

2 rabbits
2 rats
4 bats (not sure as in animal or in baseball)
4 goose/geese
4 eagles
6 iggles
9 bunnies

Alas, Joel has no shot at the Pulitizer. He wasn't seen in hip waders standing uselessly in three feet of water (for dramatic effect) interviewing ... well.... anybody. Did anybody see him standing pointlessly out in the tempest as the wind ripped his hat from his head? Not me, buddy; I saw no evidence of that. Did he stand in the eerily quiet eye of the hurricane in the dead of night and describe how eerily quiet it was in the dead of night? Well, he may have gone out there--but there is no photographic evidence of his fly-away hair...yanno...flying away.

So, no Pulitzer. (Mere writing and reporting is so..."old technolgy" nowadays.)

I'm certain the bear costume would have put him in the running if he had revealed himself.

Thanks, shiloh, for re-posting for kitchen counter. I knew there were bats in there (like the mammal).

Speaking of the animal kingdom, someone just shared this definition with me: squarrel - a quarrel between arboreal rodents.

I thank Michael Corones for taking such good care of Joel and the Boodle. We appreciate the attention. And insofar as we may use the word "minion" we mean it in the nicest possible way. For one thing, awarding Joel imaginary minions makes up for the missing parking space.

imaginary minions... imaginions?

:-)

Thanks to kitchen counter for lightening my day. We've had quite a few discussions about kitchen counters, haven't we?

I have never, ever voted for a Bush as VP or P. Thank you for your attention.

New kit! JA has posted some pictures.
