Long time, no talk! Thank you, I'm g...Hi David,<br />Long time, no talk! Thank you, I'm glad it made you laugh. The Fairy Tales are my new form of improvisation. I just begin with "Once there was..." and I let my comedy brain take over. I have no idea where each fairy tale is going. It takes a lot of fits and starts before it is revealed to me. Along the way I just try to be silly. They are a lot of fun, I'm as addicted to them as I am to Lo Hai Qu, and I'm glad folks seem to enjoy them. Though, since they are not about Poodles, or the 100 Point Scale, or Parker, or Natural Wines, they get far fewer hits.<br /><br />To everyone else, if you haven't had David's Soos Creek wines from Washington, you're really missing out on great wines at wonderfully fair prices! Buy them, and thank me later!Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-15744677609672015472014-02-07T19:23:59.504-08:002014-02-07T19:23:59.504-08:00Ron, Thanks for another gem of a laugh-out-loud st...Ron, Thanks for another gem of a laugh-out-loud story!

A "rodent" has the characteristic of possessing incisors that keep growing and need to be kept short by gnawing--like porcupines, beavers, and NBA cheerleaders.<br /><br />Samantha,<br />Oh.
