Several hours in a pre-school and you lived to tell about it? I am impressed.

Welcome home IWTATBM, hope your mission was a success. You didn't happen to see Shane while you were gone did you?

I've been away too. On a tippy-top, oh so secret, mission as well. I can only tell you that I had to make a HALO jump from 75,000 feet, pulling the rip cord at 50 feet so that I was well under the radar when the 'chute deployed. But they did let me have rubber heels on my shoes for the landing. I can also tell you that I had to swim raging rivers, wade through swamps and other morasses, brave blowing blizzards, and fight off a grizzly bear and a lion with nothing but a toothpick while hanging upside pretending to be a bat.

How was yours?

When I take you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be:
You will set behind a team of snow white horses,
In the slickest gig you ever see!

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
When we hit that road, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover,
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
I can see the stars gettin' blurry,
When we drive back home in the surrey,
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top!
I can feel the day gettin' older,
Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder,
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill;
The moon is takin' a header,
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still,
A lark'll wake up in the medder.
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'!
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop.
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!

Flippin' Esater in flippin' Noneuvut. Last night I was ast to a party and I said, "YEAH!" So I go to the flippin' party and they got all this food. People are puondin' on flippin' DRUMS! And flippin' DANCING. In a circle, not like real danding. And theres no BEER! So I go to the food, right? And I pick up this stuff and it's not too bad when a guy comes up and says "You like muktuk, eh?" and I said it's not too bad and then he tells me that it's flippin' WHALE skin with the blubbre left on! I nearly flippin'; puked right there! And then a lady gave me some ice creem, only it turned out to be flippin' fish oil mixed with snow!

Today I ate flippin' raindeer but I was so hungry by then that I'd have et flippin' Santy Clause too.

There ain't no Tim HOrton's here. I want to go back to flippin' Blind River where they got real food.

Well, you could also go to the Legion Hovel as a guest (I'd sneak you in) on the night the Hotsee Girls perform their Idaho-and-parts-of-Montana-and-Wyoming-famous "Flame Dance." Only thing is that they have to use flashlights instead of flaming torches because of the Fire Department Regulations, but it's still pretty inspiring (if you follow my drift).

"Shane," I think Don owns the house. He can toss you out to live with the sheep and goats. But at least you'd be warm, all huddled in there with the sheep and goats. And if you could find a mare (that's a girl horse) who had milk you could make kvass, which is fermented mare's milk and drink that instead of beer. Even better, you could learn to bust mutton (which isn't like, you know what) and eventually you could ride all the way out here to Idaho and meet me. I'd buy you a beer, but you wouldn't want it since all you'd be drinking by then would be kvass and I offer you some smoke but you'd only want to breathe the pure, clear air of the Rockies. And next Spring I'd enter you in the mutton bustin' competition of the DNCFR. You could end up World's Champion Mutton Buster, with a big ol' gold buckle and everything.

Then you go back to Blind River and go find Don and just snap your finger in his face and by then Officer Dana will be back and fall into your arms because YOU are the World's Champion Mutton Buster, with a gold belt buckle the size of a hubcap and everything. And when you walk down the street everyone will point at you and whisper that you're the World's Champion Mutteon Buster. You'll be famous!!

Whiles I was away in the can my flippin' bruther Don put a flippin' combinsashin lock on the flippin' FRDIDGE! So i cant' get no flipp8n' beer now. I told that flippin' idiot that this was a fightin' matter, eh? And then we got into a bad fight too. We ain't talkin' now. He thinks he is so flippin' funny, and like he was the big boss here, eh? I think he is the worlds biggest BOLTHOLE!@ I have put a pee3ce of tape down on the floor to, like, markw whjere muy haff of the house ends and he ain't allowed to step on ny side. The Frigde is right in the flippin' middle of the line becoz I am not the type to let muy brothern starve eeven if he his a total flippin' idiot bolthole who aint' worth a peece of dog crap! But get this: eether the comabinashin lock goes...or HE goes! This is flippin' WAR!

I was arrested a few dayhs back becoz two skanks at the Tom Hortons were spyin' on me and said I fippin' exposed muyself in pubic when I peed on the back wall! That is a lie! I din't know there was any people but me around when I did it so I am 1000% innicent! I will get them fer this. The cops have let me loose on probation. They are all pond scum. I hate all of them.

Well, except Officer Dana. I wish she would come back. She is away somewhere's taking cop coarses or somethin'. I really flippin' miss her.

There is not one flippin' person in this town I can trust. My life has turned to shit.

Shane is a guy from Blind River, Ontario. He just got out of jail for shaggin' sheep. He was arrested on a Sunday and fell afoul of the "Sunday Laws" in Ontario. Sheep shagging is a misdemeanour except on Sundays. He left the church service pissed (drunk in other words) and off he went to a herd of sheep. Lord knows how many he went through, but the OPP busted the sick sob and threw him in the slam. He deserved it. Is nothing sacred anymore? They ought to throw him back in.

Seems to me Shane as originally presented would go ga ga over Celtic Woman since Celtic Woman is really more along the lines of Celtic Women, there being five (I think) females along with one male who might present a problem unless Shane really is Shanetta in which case the male member (so to speak) might be the object of desire while the female members would be in the way, unless of course Shanetta swings from both sides of the plate whereupon the entire ensemble might be just the ticket for our esteemed friend (that being Shane(s)-Shanetta of course).

Let's see: would "Shane" or "Shane" go for Celtic Woman? Actually, would either of them go for women at all? Both seems overly defensive of their presumed masculinity, and "the lady doth protest too much." I'm not certain now the "Shane" is actually male! "Shane" could also be "Shanetta"!! We have only "Shane"'s word that s/he is in Blind River and only "Shane"'s word that s/he is in Nunivut. And it's odd that they've never been seen together.
