Christmas Countdown - 2010

[sugarplum fairy]

Coach and Sugarplum- Only 13 days to the Shoot out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so ready! I can't wait!

 

[sugarplum fairy]

Well Today is going to be a great day. While talking to my cousin yesterday he told me that one of the people he worked with had tickets for the COLTS game today and couldn't go now. After about ten minutes he convinced me to spend a weeks worth of pay to buy one of the tickets to go with him. So in about a half hour I will be heading to downtown Indianapolis to cheer the COLTS on to victory. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY and GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky you! Go Colts!!)

 

[sugarplum fairy]

The opera was so good I have tears in my eyes!
Bravo! Bravo!

THE OPERA>>> PART XXXVIII

"The Dead Battery.."
ACT 1

Curtain arises and we see Brad approach his truck.. he sings the beautiful aria " Ohhh truck.. take me to the festival.." (lyrics indicate the fabulous Festival celebrating the talents of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils when tens of people ascend on the town to celebrate their recording career.." However, as the aria finishes.. we see Brad in despair since the truck will not start...

Jayish enters and dances a Paus Du Lux entitled.." Chevy/Ford.. it don 't matter anymore.. battery is done.." (this leaves the crowd gasping over the beauty of the tights which have a screenprint of Lee Iacocca on the front..)

Binger enters and sings the aria.." What that truck needs is coffee." THEY summon Carl the Camel in and they fill the radiator with coffee from Carl's third hump.. Carl attempts to dance a paus du lux with Jayish entitled.." Stereotypes... I hate them.. and if you disagree my boys and me will breaka your face.." The truck however refuses to start..

Coach enters and sings the aria.." Balls... makes the world go round.." and we see him place baseballs under each wheel.. however, the truck still will not move... and there is great despair.. even though all three are seen under the truck siphoning the coffee from the radiator.... Act 1 ends with the flashing sign at the shispering pines announcing the cancellation of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils Festival and thus, all six rooms booked for the festival are now available...new Shispering Pines resident Pup is seen looking at the combined sushi bar/coffeeshop and humming the aria.." Is there something here I'm just not getting?"

end ACT 1.

Act 2 Opens with the evil Crown.. they enter and sing the aria.." It is I who disabled the truck.. which backfires and awakend me from my 9AM nap.. right after I took my 8AM nap... and after I awakened from my 14 hour nap.." We see Crown then enter their hammock... Auntie enters and sings the aria.." Maple leafs.. that is what is needed here.." and we see her mix them into the radiator of the truck.. which still refuses to move.. ( lighting fades to black..) Sugarplum Fairy and Annette enter and sing the aria.." YOO YOO Jackie Blue.." though the towns people are too in despair to respond, and as the curtain closes.. we see the Shispering Pines via Radio Jon announce that it is closing due to low volume....end ACT 2..

ACT 3 finale:
Opens with the town in deep despair.. Brent is seen singing the aria.."Aint no sunshine in my life..." Crown sings the aria.." Good..less sunshine means more darkness and more sleep." Christmasstar sings the aria.." Cake: it isn't just for desert.." and she entices Crown to awaken long enough to eat some cake shaped in the form of a mattress which causes them to fall asleep ( AGAIN..) and in one of the most moving moments ever in Opera.. we see Made and Maureen enter.. Made slips a fried pickle/fired twinkie into the truck radiator and it magically starts.. we see Brad rush to the truck and announce that the Festival is on.. Maureen is seen slipcovering the truck in a brillant green plaid and disguise it as a sofa.. which will convince Crown that the truck is still inoperable... and thus, they cannot ever again cancel the festival. the entire company comes together and sings the 1970s DISCO hit.." I will survive.." with Jayish dancing a paus du lux in the background entitled.." New Jersey.. A Chemical State of Mind.." as the curtain closes...

end...

Brovo! Well done!

[ballcoach]

Made, are you not home yet? Bout to sign out for the night. Going to read and watch the rest of this game and then visit with the wife. Don't ask why, but I just went back and read the posts from last year from when I joined until now....I have no idea why but it was fun. It also took a while! Got me all excited about this year.

Another week down and another week closer to our time of year. See you all tomorrow.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Nice opera! cheesy

 

[ballcoach]

Made, I kept coming back hoping to catch you, but I will tell you congrats tomorrow!

 

[sugarplum fairy]

Made--I can't wait to hear all about the game. I tried looking for you in the crowd since I knew what you were wearing, but for some strange reason I wasn't able to find you. LOLcheesy

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Bravo! Bravissimo!


Another splendid Opera! What a performance by Crown et al!

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Good Luck!

That's Evanescence with that YouTube tune in case someone's wondering. They are one of the very few current mainstream artists that I like. Neat slide show too, Auntie!

:hello: Cool. Speaking of cool, all went well with O'Malley. He was almost normal lastnight as he explored our room for the first time in three years.

I woke up with him beside me on the bed. And what do you know, he didn't chew the laptop wires.


Have a great day! cheesy

Good morning MCC!

It is a wet and foggy morning here, going to turn into a cold and snowy afternoon. ( we hope!) :

My mom's birthday today, she is now 79! She is in Vermont right now so I will have to send all my wishes virtually this year.

Have a great day everyone!
:merry:

 

[Christmasstar]

We have a show out of Toronto every morning called "Breakfast Television" and this morning they where talking about how many people still have their Christmas lights up. :yahoo:

Kevin then announced that they all had to have them down by the end of this month. :-? I will have to email him a protest note!

 

[ballcoach]

Morning all! Hope this finds everyone doing well. Just wanted to stop by and wish everybody a great Monday.

 

[judesmama]

Morning! Wet day today in Philly... and we have water in our basement - dripping from the electric meter, somehow!!!! I am so nervous! Called the electric company and waiting for them to come... I hope they get their butts out here soon b/c it seems like a fire hazard to me! It's dripping on to the breaker box!!!!! AHHH!

In better news - 11 months until the big day!!!
