On a dark desert island, cool wind where I used to have hair,
Warm smell of Bear’s bedpans, rising up through the air.
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy ’cause it was after eight.
I had to nap for the night.

OFG stood in the doorway; I heard the lights-out bell.
I was thinking to myself: "This could be Heaven, or this could be Hell."
Someone lit up a rolled one, and it showed me the way.
There was barking down the corridor.
I thought I heard Haggis say...

“Welcome to the Tiki Isle Infirm’ry.
Such a lovely place. Such a lovely place. Oh, such style ’n’ grace.
Plenty of room at the Tiki Isle Infirm’ry.
Any time of year. Any time of year. It’s a dog house here."

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door.
Had to find BardSkye’s boat back to the forum we had before.
"Relax," said the Porter. "We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!"

Brilliant, Chase. Brilliant. :Clap:

One thing.

Never say "checkout" to an old fart.

:ty: all. After six years of grading high school senior papers and 19 years of marking freshman 101 floppy disks, I can plagiarize with the best of 'em. I think the original lyrics were by the 101st Screaming Eagles. I could be wrong.

Oh, Porter, Porter, Porter. There is no difference in the grits and sand and our Jell-O and Mel's jellyfish casserole.

This may not have been a good move ... I just saw a couple of BIG boxes of Bok Choi and a case of mustard on the loading dock ....

The casserole is jiggly and wiggly; the Jell-O must be chiselled from the bedpan.

I vote we make this the official OFTTBI theme song.

OH! LOOK!

I'm the Sociopath of the Week!

Thank you! Thank you! I couldn't have done it without help from all the little peeps...
Yeah, OFG, there was no doubt that you deserved this award more than Haggis me most people.

Sorry, Haggis, forgot the announcement first thing this morning. Had an appointment with a new doctor (on a new med insurance plan) and forgot. He insisted on base lab work, blah, blah, blah. But, he says I'll live (unless I go to some exotic, tiki place - what do doctors know, anyway?).

Pfft. The docs are all kids nowadays. What could they possibly know.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Right, JB?

JB?

Oh man! Sorry, I passed out there for a minute. Okay, I'm back. Was that smelling salts or has Porter arrived?

There's something very strange with you. You looks different today.... kinda topsy turvy.

Dang! See what happens when you get dressed in the dark?!

ZOMG!

I fell asleep!

WHO DREW ALL OVER MY FACE WITH MAGIC MARKER!?

It wasn't me. I wasn't even there. I don't have a marker, magic or otherwise. I was at home, reading a book. Thousands of people can vouch for me. Those are not my paw prints....

I think I want my lawyer now. :D

JB ... or

WOW! A little dog and a moose in bearsuitses. I've heard that there's been sightings all around the world - in the Himalayas, the mountain forests of the Pacific Northwest (probably Oregon), and Rhode Island, but I didn't know such clear documentation existed right here on this little island.

"It's rabbit season."

"No, it's duck season."

"It is not. It's rabbit season."

"I told you, it's duck season."

"Rabbit season!"

"Duck season!"


Anybody remember that gripping, dialog-filled scene?
Memorable. Dramatic. Oscar-worthy dialog, involving one of my three heroes.
