She whined: “Look at my nose! It is all red and raw.”
He looked at her, chuckled, and agreed.
“Wha-?” She said, and began to sing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
“Actually,” He interrupted. “I was thinking more along the lines of Bozo the Clown.”

[...] Quilly’s place today (24 April 2009) and wish her a Happy Birthday. Might distract her from blowing her nose, looking out the window at an unseasonably gray Hawai‘ian day, and channelling prehistoric [...]
Oh! I hope that you had a rolled up newspaper conveniently at hand! LOL
That wasn’t very nice, and what’s this about the 2×4

Cherie — nope. I tapped him in the rear with my foot. He was quite surprised. (I didn’t tap him very hard. Mostly he was surprised by my speed and agility.)
Bill — it wasn’t supposed to be nice. It was supposed to be funny. The 2×4 is for rearranging attitudes. Usually one doesn’t have to use the thing, they just have to show it.
Betty — so do I. So do I!
Jientje — Rudolf is about red, not Christmas. What else gave you that impression?
That would be your comment on yesterdays post, where you asked me who the hell “he” is, her father … lover … or Santa Claus?

Amoeba — you boggled my mind with your comment and I was so dwelling on my broken heart that I momentarily forgot how to spell. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.)

Careful Thom ~ Quillster is in one of her moods, and with you the 2×4 could do more damage than to me, I can’t see Quilly spending the money for a flight to Calgary.
Just be careful she don’t take the Nickname “Buford Pusser”

Happy Birthday, Quilly! You get a Spelling Pass for your BD. No one is aloud to bring up spelling errors for the next three incidents. Use them wisely.
Nessa’s last blog post..A Poem a Day #23 – Regret
Whoo-hoo! Thank you, Nessa. I love the pass AND the limerick.
Sometimes… just sometimes….
I could feel you going
Cath – -that sounds a bit off-color, you know.
Gosh, and on your birthday? Hip hip hurray for Quilly!
Doug — no, on the day BEFORE my birthday.
Happy birthday Quilly. So, he’s off to find you flowers (hypoallergenic), and it sounds like you’ve already got the clown and petting zoo ready for the party. I guess all you have left to do is a cake??
Lisa’s last blog post..Hearts and Lace
Cake? All this and cake, too?!

Happy Birthday! And many more.
Next time your heel laughs about your red heel, bleed on him.
