    Dale, at my age, I wouldn’t have to shave my leg to get a ride (see below). However, even though my belly may be getting out of hand, with a properly cut tunic, I can cut quite a figure on the dance floor with the ladies (gender differentiation intended).

    Likewise, friend.

    Dale,
    I’m just off the conch with Tyler, and I have the precise coordinates of the gathering location: I don’t recognize these highway names, but he specifically told me we would all meet at the intersection of Latitude 90°41’00” and Longitude 42°35’00”. He suggested that we be prepared for amphibious travel, so I will caulk the pan on the four cylinder Mitsubishi (automobile), and direct the exhaust towards an affixed paddlewheel, somewhat in the style of riverboats of yore. Well, somewhat.

    See Ya’ll there?
    Frank

    Frank: (Response by paragraph)
    1) I'm always sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if Arena is, in fact, large enough to have a "village idiot", YOU ain't IT! Don't give up your day job just to pursue a dream!

    2) I kind of LIKE Al Franken! I like Bill O'Reilly better, though!

    3) I don't remember you growing up in MY old neighborhood??

    4) I ALREADY told you I was sorry about THAT one!!

    5) I'm confident that the "conch" word was not a typo! Also, I was looking for a LOCATION, not the normal hi-lo temperatures of the day!

    Hey Dale, having previously live with an Arena address for close to 9 years, Frank speaks the truth. Back in those days, we used to take turns being the Village Idiot and sadly, I don't think Frank has found a replacement for me, as of yet. Actually, Frank was just an "Idiot in Training", as I outranked him and I'm not quite sure that he's been able to attain full fledged "Idiot" status yet, but he's all they've got! Hang in there, Frank. I just know you can do it! (They even transferred tenure for me when I came to Bear Valley, so I didn't even have to train!)
    Cheers,

    Hey Spring,
    Why did I subconsciously already KNOW about your nine years of captivity in Arena?? Anyway, I'm just trying to be Arena's "Buddy for a Day". With the cost of gas these days, I don't think that John and I will be able to afford to eat at the "Palace" that Tyler has chosen. I understand that Frank is "swimming in the green" and I just thought that maybe - just maybe - well - you know!

    BARE VALLEY!?! Don't tell me that YOU are going to show up in a thong too!?! I'm starting to think. If I swim across Lake Michigan from Peshtigo, will I end up in LaCrosse?!

    Wouldn't miss it for the world . . . but Tyler, if you're coming to cheeseland, you need appropriate attire . . .

    John, my fine friend,
    I respectfully beg to differ with you on this point, young sir. While in high school, I had the morning paper route in Arena. Even on Sundays, through the winter I had all papers delivered before sunrise. My route was five miles long, but living a mile out of town made that seven miles a day, seven days a week, whatever that maths out to.

    This was well before your time, and before the age of global warming, but let me tell you that I often had to dig tunnels thru our copious snowfalls. The Town truck followed me so their load was eased.

    For this I earned two things: First was five dollars a week, and second was the official title of the Village Idiot!!! To this day, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of my customers point to me when they see me in town, cover their mouths and chuckle, then sing out derisively “Look, there goes the dumb paperboy!”

    John, the whole thing of pretending to be an “Idiot in Training”, was a subterfuge of mine to pass my title to you, an unsuspecting newcomer, but alas, you slipped out of the noose too quickly.

    I thought I was working up to a place where I would make a point of some kind, but now I can’t remember….

    Frank

    Well, thanks a lot, Frank! Now you've gone and done it! Apparently, a literate spouse of one of the WIDIOT (Wisconsin Innerstate Department of Idiot Operations Trustees) got wind of your post and has notified said department! While they agree that revocation of my Idiot status, due to my proven track record, would be a bit extreme, they have put me on double probation!!! Any act of intelligence, counts as an infraction! First infraction, I'm off the BIR (Biweekly Idiot Rotation) for a month. (27 days) Second infraction, and I'm off for a full 97-1/2 days (3 months!)!!! 3rd time and they give me an honorary PHD from the UBC (University of Bear Creek) and send me packin'! I'm NOT a happy camper right now! You best watch your backside, buddy or I'll sneak over there and pour a gallon of some high-test in your little 4-banger's gas tank and then where will you be????
    Cheers,
