On The Sly

Whew!! Tom-A-Hawk drained me of all my fluids with that novel-length blog. Guess I'll have to go get a cold one.............
Diet Dew that is. HA!HA!
Sorry I won't be there Friday night Foxy but I heard one of the top officials (self proclaimed) Mike Roberts will be in attendance. He is a good official I might add. He should buy you a cold one.
Later

(Foxy's note: Will miss you, crusher. We've got some good things to catch up on. I'll let you buy me one next time our paths cross!)

For that special someone, here is an idea for you as I am thinking of doing the same for mine. Mine has an electric stove, dish washer, washer and dryer, coffee pot and toaster, so I am getting her something elecric she doesn't have, an electric chair.

(Foxy's note: Oh, Doc, this is a good one! Leave it to you to come up with the Blogoteers' best joke of 2007!)

Holy smokes Tom-a-hawk...quite a platform ,may need a bit of fine tuning but in general you've got ..as those beer commercials say, some "BRILLANT" ideas -
try to keep them fresh in your mind when some of the North Country's finest gather on the 7th at Meron's... What a cabinet THE DONALD, MATHEWS, SKIPPER, OLD TIMER, BULLET. CRUSHER, SCULLY and FOREST would make!
I've received confirmation that at least 5 or 6 newly elected officials will be on hand, including Foxy's old classmate Mr Giroux and his side kick Mr.Sears.. a few other former OLVA Foxes have confirmed, but have asked that I keep their names out of the press, for security reasons.. starting to get the feeling this bash might resemble that 40 year reunion this summer, maybe the "STOWAWAYS" will show??
Best wishes to "ZONEBREAKER" hope you are able to stop for a visit on the 7th.
Hey folks remember...HAPPY HOUR prices on the 7th!!
(full price and gracie's happy)

Very Very funny - Since I'm married to one of you Catholic School grads - I know all about how innocent you are not!!

Still laughing - miss d!

Foxy - if you insist on leaving your "special someone" an envelope full of dollar bills, please don't leave it on the nightstand before you leave in the morning - get my drift? BAD IDEA!!

I've got your back - miss d.

(Foxy's note: Thanks for the tip, miss d. You know how innocent I am, just a little Catholic school grad. Need some guidance from someone!)

Tom-A-Hawk has my vote! Let's impeach the Mayor right now!

If only Tom-A-Hawk had been in the race for mayor in 2007.

Good news is that our current mayor is no fool. He will surely pick up on the suggestions and implement them. Unlike Mayor Danny, Mayor Donny will soon find a way to chase away the Canadian visitor. How about requiring all Canadian visitors to assemble at the Waterfront Hotel Parking lot for some kind of "clearance" before being allowed to go shopping. Instead of detaining them, just have Jack Stewart there to talk to them for awhile. With a little north country history under their belt they should be fit to shop without further delay.

Don't like the idea of hunters shooting the cell phones out of people's hands though. This is too high a progression from shooting unarmed, helpless animals. Too large a step for the average hunter.
Homeschooling will not catch on in the north country. Kids here are too smart. They will quickly realize that home schoolers get no snow days off. Can't fool our kids.

Fox, certain holidays are suited for a sit down meal. Trying to make Thanksgiving into a drive thru, via your mom's house, not a good idea. Same goes for Christmas.

(Foxy's note: Good one, rubble!)

Hey Fox, I was in the area for the holiday (they let me out of rehab for 4 days) and have decided to return to run for Mayor, so I hastily formulated a platform. I plan on attending your party on the 7th and drum up some support for my campaign. I've already got Carver and Rubble in one of my corners, and expect I can flip Bullet, Art V, Forest, and The Donald guy with the right bribe. Here's my list of PROMISES that will make our city more friendly and profitable:

I’d charge radio stations and businesses a tax for using any Christmas based material before Thanksgiving.

I’d bring back those felt lined baskets with the long handles that were so elegantly passed through each pew during church services. The extra revenue collected could be used to pay the tax I’d impose on tax exempt properties.

I’d create a city run fish fry in our vacant parking lot and use the bass that all these tournaments catch. It stands to reason that those fish aren’t going to make it anyway after being hooked and penned up all day.

I’d allow smoking only in basements and make it a felony if caught in violation.

I’d eliminate the legal age required to purchase alcohol. I would then redeploy police patrols to monitor the bars for DUI. The extra revenue raised would easily cover the clean-up required every morning.

I’d give tax incentives for home schooling. This would allow us to decrease the number of highly paid teachers and administrators by reducing the students going to public school and increase the tax base by creating new cottage industries.

I’d bring back telephone operators and four digit numbers to screen all calls for significance. I’d also eliminate text messaging and IM’s as a form of communication except for students cheating on exams. This would insure they get good grades and be accepted in good colleges.

I’d require all city residents to install water hoses in their front yards and make the fire department totally volunteer. When’s the last time you saw a fireman doing an honest day’s work?

I’d make all Canadians move to the back of any line that existed within the city and give preference to city residents first, and county residents next. I’d also sell city membership cards to anyone who wanted to help defray costs to city residents.

I would eliminate the priest’s duty of silence in the confessional so he could publish what he hears and pay a tax on the royalties he receives.

I’d eliminate parking in front of convenient stores and churches, regardless of the reasoning or excuses. I don’t feel that beer drinkers or church-goers should have any more rights than the average person driving up Cornelia Street.

I’d hire high-profile detectives like Emile Pion and have them work undercover so everyone would know who was watching, and no one would ever get caught thus making the city more attractive and friendly.

I’d not allow cell phones to be used in cross walks, and eliminate any penalties for bumping into students caught using them while crossing the street. I may even offer rewards for cars that can hit pedestrians using cell phones and fund it from fines imposed on drivers using them.

I’d make it illegal to use cell phones in public places and enforce stiff fines for using them while dealing with cashiers. I’d allow anyone with a hunting license to shoot anyone using a cell phone while driving a motor vehicle.

I’d put a limit on the number of people being allowed to enter the city, and charge a toll to get in at all. This would share the burden of funding the government center, churches, the hospital, and the college that is now the responsibility of city residents.

I’d make it a requirement to respond to blogs for everyone that reads them, and use legitimate name tags at all blog parties. I’d also re-introduce the counter-blogger idea in lieu of this “blogateers” notion and give awards to blog-hoggers at the annual blog party.

I’d require more activities for exercise like the one you’d find by clicking on my name, that’s my opinion—what’s yours?…..TBI

Hope you weren't talking on your cell to that girl with the whisp of hair when you drove into your mom's- what was her name?? Patricia??

(Foxy's note: Wow! Tom-A-Hawk returns with a vengeance! See you on Dec 7th. Need a campaign manager?)
