The Man with the Laughs

Gooooooooood-byyyyyyye Vietnaaaaam! That's right, I'm history... I'm outta here. I got the lucky ticket home, baby. Rollin, rollin, rollin'... keep them wagons rollin', rawhide! Yeah, that's right... the final Adrian Cronauer broadcast... and this one is brought to you by our friends at the Pentagon. Remember the people who brought you Korea? That's right, the U.S. Army. If it's being done correctly, here or abroad, it's probably not being done by the Army.

In honor of Robin Williams, I've decided to forsake the rules and simple post a lot of what made him special to us: his humor and ability to make us laugh!!

Genie: [turns into a cheerleader] Rick 'em, rack 'em, rock 'em, rake! Stick that sword into that snake!
Jafar: You stay out of this!
Genie: [Weakly] Jafar, Jafar, he's our man; if he can't do it, great!

When Christopher Reeve was in the hospital after his accident, Robin came to visit him. Reeve said this about that surprise visit:

Then, at an especially bleak moment, the door flew open and in hurried a squat fellow with a blue scrub hat and a yellow surgical gown and glasses, speaking in a Russian accent. He announced that he was my proctologist, and that he had to examine me immediately...it was Robin Williams...for the first time since the accident, I laughed. My old friend had helped me know that somehow I was going to be okay.

When Stephan Spielberg was filming "Schindler's List", Robin would call him to cheer him up. I think I only called him once, maybe twice. I called him when I was representing People for the Valdheimers Association. A society devoted to helping raise money to help older Germans who had forgotten everything before 1945. I remember him laughing and going 'thank you.'"

Oh there's a lot more 'middle of nowhere' to be experienced if you live(d) in the bush rather than the city, I know from personal experience.

Scruffy departed quietly into the night (off attending the shenanigans), while Punic and Ecthelion come and go with the fleet. The rest of us age, and with age comes women and the children and sometimes employment, all of which eat into the precious time we enjoy here.

While you are here, pop on over to the Bardic Circle, read the entries for this year's Sepia Joust, and place your runes for whichever story you think earned your vote upon this scroll.. I can promise you that all three are of excellent quality.

Liam imploded and disappeared in a huff. Not much more to add.

I miss his sprained-brain antics at times, but it is his choice and I must respect that.

Thanks for voting. I am glad you enjoyed our tales.
