The banjo may be making an appearance on Sunday. Possibly. If Mary behaves herself. She may, however, be getting the fruits of my labouring at the Christmas Tree Shop on Boxing Day morning (early).

Be afraid, be VERY afraid - you thought the napkin rings were bad......

Maeve - I think that for the banjo to go anywhere but to Mary's house would leave me extremely deep in the poo. However, I'm sure I can find another little prize for that sort of competition.....

Jacqui left out an important bit of information - mu banjo player has to be single.
Single banjo player with job - this is how I stay single.

"Mary wants the impossible - a banjo player with a job and preferably one who behaves like Mr Wonderful - sits quietly until she needs a bit of attention and then treats her like a queen!"

Hey, now! I have a job, and I play the banjo. Jennifer is always quite happy when she has me "nice" her feet (meaning massage them).

Now, of course, the "sits quietly" doesn't apply when there are six banjos in the house, but everything else is as described.

Does Mr. Wonderful "squeal like a pig?" or is that just the band, Joe?

Jacqui- Are you planning to reward the banjo to whomever drives the farthest to attend Mary's song circles? Hmmm... I could take the long way 'round! What d'ye think?

I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my Headless Jesus, plucking on the dashboard of my car?

So Christmas Day has come and gone and I have had numerous interactions with the Morses but no banjo. Thou shalt not steal! Thou shalt not steal!
If I report her to the authorities it could cost her her green card.

But an immigrant maid, she me betrayed, stole my banjo from my cart.

For I'll get it back, from English Jacq..

I witnessed the whole event. Mary found the banjo, worked very hard to untangle it from a large amount of junk that even she and Jacqui wouldn't take, and then Jacqui took it from her cart, right in front of her!!! I was in the next aisle over, doubled up with laughter over the whole thing. I am amazed at Mary's restraint -- I half expected her to whack Jacqui over the head with her purse.

That plan worked for you, Jacqui. Why should I expect anything less? And my cellar is bigger and drier than yours with lots of room to play.
heh heh Hope Kendall reads this.

Poor Mary Sunshine, that nasty Jacqui stole you banjo, I'm surprised she had the pluck.
Maybe, she's trying to find you an eligible player to go with it!
Hope y'all have a great time at the Press Room tonight, and Christmas Greetings to you all from Scotland.

During the New York garbage workers strike some years ago, an enterprising person wrapped their garbage as a gift and left it on the front seat of the car---with the window open!

Of course, this person got his garbage "collected"...

...but the banjo sitting next to the garbage on the seat wasn't touched!

I took the thing from her cart and paid for it so that I have SOMETHING to give her as a present on Christmas Day! Then, if she hasn't got me a present she'd gonna feel awful guilty....

Mr. Wonderful arrived a few Christmases ago when I was looking for the perfect man. He is 12" tall and runs on batteries. When prompted, he offers to carry my packages at the mall, tells me I am beautiful in the morning, begs to rub my feet - you get the picture.

I have two. One has a miniature banjo that plays Dueling Banjos. The second is banjoless and will remain so until Jacqui returns it. Seems to be an awful lot of thieving from Mary Sunshine.

It was stolen from me not the Salvation Army. Even Jacqui has some limits.

Back up - You have a Mr Wonderful doll?. Is he life sized? Anatomically correct ? And how "wonderful" can he be if he plays the banjo?

Working definition of perfect pitch.

When you can throw a banjo into the rubbish tip so that it strikes the accordion that is already there.

Take the banjo to a session. "Forget" to take it in with you. Leave you car unlocked. Tell everyone why you are not playing your banjo tonight.
When you get back to your car you will find an assortment of banjos, accordions, bagpipes, etc, which you can give away for Christmas, or even return to the Salvation Army if your conscience bothers you.
Merry Christmas!

While rummaging through a pile of crap at the local Salvation Army, I discovered a lovely little banjo made of shell and the exact size for my Mr. Wonderful doll. Jacqui stole it. She thinks she is going to surprise me with it at Christmas.
Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?
