Shawn Believes in The Great Pumpkin

“Everybody's got to believe in something.... I believe I'll have another big orange.


(BTW, for all you nautical fans, the Sun rises above the yardarm about 10 AM at these latitudes)”

“WTF?!??!”

“Well, I was perusing the latest God Thread......

Shawn said that he believed in the Great Pumpkin but he didn't need to shout it to the world ---- So I figured SOMEBODY ought to....


<G>




Or was it the bit about the yardarm that threw you off?”

“well....... I hadn't read the "IBIG" thread (IBIG... kinda fits, doesn't it?? LOL)

so... it was kinda of ALL OF IT!!! duh”

“Yup. Yup.

The phrase about the yardarm always confuses people because they're programmed to think Happy Hour is in the afternoon, LOL... They're always saying, "Shouldn't it be 'when the Sun is below the yardarm?"

NoooOOOOOOooooooooo... 'above the yardarm' is the proper historic usage, LOL


Then there's the bit about the 'big orange'....”

“hmmmmm, does this mean it's time for me to break out the Smirnoff's Ice??! (happy hour) ONLY 1:30 here!!!”

“You're playing catch-up, as far as the British Navy is concerned... I think that's how they invented 'BRUNCH' <G>

Whadda they call those things.... 'mimosas'? LOL”
