Overheard at Ye Olde Celebrity Tavern
Sally tacked up a Halloween spider web, and conversation started suddenly:
Tarzan: Boy, I hated spider webs!
Chimp: Ha! You’d slap at your face trying to get them off, then thump your chest, and howl.
J. Edgar Hoover: We used them to torture spies. And Chimp, where is your security clearance to be here?
Sir Walter Scott: Hoover… Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
Freud: It’s called araneophobia; deception is pathological lying.
Gore: I invented it.
Freud: Lying?
Sally: No, the web.
“Just have another drink, Al, and shut up!” They all shouted.
Randy Mazie
Quite amusing.
Thank you. May I buy you a drink? You are a very bright person. Randy
Sure. Thanks.
You are much too clever 🙂
And you are much too right. Thanks, Randy
Have another drink, my dear.
Very funny– I love it!
Can I buy you a drink? You have such good taste. Randy
Poor old has-been celebs, with no one to admire them but each other! Made me giggle. Mine is here http://anneorchardwriter.wordpress.com/2012/09/14/friday-fictioneers-late-getting-home/
Has been celebrities, my arachnea! Better not show up at the Inn.
I left a few choice comments on your web site, you old hag!
Hey, not so much of the old! And I certainly don’t qualify as a celebrity. See you again soon,
Ssorry if I hurt your feelings.. I noticed tho’ you didn’t object to the hag part. 😉
Please do come back again.
No worries! See ya next week maybe.
😉
Loved it…loved it! You nailed it with all of them! Witty, refreshing and well-scripted! I need to get a drink at ye olde celebrity tavern!
You’ll need a web story to get in… Sticky business. Thanks for your comments. Randy
Here’s mine! http://onapolysyllabicnote.wordpress.com/2012/09/14/on-repeat/
🙂
I just left a few scribbles on your post. Here’s a quickie I like from Rain Man
Susanna: You use me, you use Raymond, you use everybody.
Charlie: Using Raymond? Hey, Raymond, am I using you? Am I using you, Raymond?
Raymond: [absentmindedly] Yeah.
Charlie: Shut up! He’s answering a question from a half hour ago!
I invented it. …Lying? Funny. No H in Wisoff…but I seem to be repeating myself. I did have a teacher in school who wrote in my yearbook “Wise-off” Hmmm.
What the H?
Sorry, I just copy and pasted it assuming it was correct. I’ll see about correcting it. Are you sure it doesn’t have an H?
Correction made wisoff!
Virgho’s… harrumph! 😉
Rahndy
LOHL!
H 😉
Hmmm, while reading that last comment, I thought you wrote, “You are a very bright person, Randy.” Not that I would except you to do something that overt….cough, cough. 🙂 What a difference punctuation makes.
Anyway, back to my regularly scheduled comments. How boring to add I loved it and you were spot on with your comments, especially about Al. Perhaps you could have worked in “Sally tacked up a Halloween spider web, and conversation started suddenly when they spied her” . And I was kind of expecting Spider Man, although that might have been too easy.
Seriously, (if that word can be used here), thanks for an out-loud laugh!!
Me overt? My subtlety always precedes me and then secedes from me.
“Seriously,” would have been Rodney Dangerfield, I think. Or, was it Henny Youngman, with “Seriously, take my wife?”
And I considered Spidey, but as you wrote, it was too there.
And I must say, after reading the way you worked your non-comments into your text, what a bright person you are, too(in addition to me). 😉 Thanks, Randy
You must agree to pat each other on the back so neither of us breaks an arm trying to pat our own. 🙂 (Or does your subtlety secede from you, causing a civil war within you??) I’ve GOT to stop now.
Awww. C’mon. Pat away. I’m not paticular.
and secession is in the mind of the beholder…. civil or otherwise
We need Sgt. Friday to clean this up mess. Just the facts, Ma’am.
Now post the web on the web. Got it?
It’s posted – the WEBB on the web and the web, Jack.
Get it? and got it!
in fairness to mr. gore, he never claimed to have invented the internet. he said he created the term “information superhighway.” it was a GOP spin that created the falsehood.
Thanks for the input. I like to be fair.
Pull your stool over here Rich. Let’s hoist one to truth, fairness and spider ways.
Oh the webs we weave… Randy
will be hoisting several today!
Brilliantly done Randy!
You’re very smart lady. Come here, let me show you my version of Al’s web.
Dear Randy,
Poor Al, forever snared in the web of sound bites. His legacy; disinfomatinon super highway?
Aloha,
Doug
Yes, too bad but still a lot of fun, no?
Nice to hear from you. All is well?
Aloha, Randy
