Remember that little song from "Cheers"? The one that Woody wrote for his girlfriend?
It was her birthday and he couldn't afford to buy anything for the rich blonde.
Wait, let me find it ... here it is!
Delightfully sweet, isn't it?
(smile)
Still, it brings to mind another blonde named Kelly... Kelly Bundy.
She may have been too worldly for our literal-minded barkeep, though.
Please note that I said "worldly", but not wise.
(smile)
Like Woody,she had a habit of saying things that were not quite right.
I'd been in the habit of recording "Married With Children" so I could watch the episodes at a more reasonable time. I may be a night owl, but I'm not up that late!
Then Comcast discovered they had sent me the wrong box. Apparently, my account wasn't supposed to have "saving" capability. They wanted to charge me another twenty dollars per month for their mistake; however, I balked at the strong-arm tactic and they backed off, with the understanding that I was to never use the save-for-later feature again.
Sigh.
What brought all this to mind?
Well, on Friday, I woke up around 7 AM... and could not go back to sleep. What to do? Watch an episode of "Married With Children", of course! It happened to have a bit of baseball in it - hooray! This was the one where Al is told that Jefferson D'Arcy was CIA and confronts him about it. After Jefferson tries to play on Al's friendship ("You're a Bundy - and when you replace the 'n' with a 'd', you're a buddy.) to no avail, things get a bit dangerous. That's when Al tries to convince his neighbor that he is no threat ("I'm a bunny, replace the 'd' with an 'n'.), making little rabbit ears on his head with his hands.
Really funny!
But there was no Kelly in the episode.
I missed her.
So, I dragged out the bits of paper on which I had recorded some of her witticisms.
Here they are, for the amusement of all!
For a laugh, see if you can figure out what she meant to say.
(smile)

That is the squaw that stroked the camel's sac.
That's cool and unusable punishment, even for Daddy.
Veritable coronary-copia of your favorites!
Squid pro quo.
When you said "push him to the park", I probably should have put him in the stroller.
I know I'm just a local mascot now, but with a little luck I can be a dancing fruit in someone's underwear.
So this might be my answer to my search for the holy pail!
So, your story is an allegory, a meta-mucil, if you will.
When the people see my face in these commercials, the offers will rain down like hats and pogs!
I know what today is. It's the bright sunny part before tonight.
Kelly: I'm under court order to burn this uniform.
Peg: Remember to take it off first.
Kelly: Thanks, Mom!

Thanks, Christina Applegate, for a stellar delivery of those lines!

fb flashback from March 18, 2018:
"Our room for the night, room 22 at the Wine Valley Lodge in Napa, California. But not just another hotel room, this is THE ELVIS SUITE!!! Yes friends and family, be very jealous. I'm staying in rooms once occupied by THE KING. Faustina Smith and Janet Pence, i expect you to be particularly jealous."

Hope you are having a peanut butter and banana sandwich in his honor. Just be careful when you go to the bathroom.

Joe --> the blue means it's a hyperlink!

Sally Hill
You know very well the door says NO SMOKING. It says nothing about it being the Elvis Presley Suite. Hope you're having BIG fun.

Joe Guy
Sally Hill, I'm just taking the innkeeper's word for it. But they do have some pics of him in the lobby. Marilyn Monroe, the Lettermen, and a few other celebrities from that era stayed there too.

Faustina Smith
I am soooo jealous....
Please tell me it has blue suede carpeting...

Joe Guy
The decor was actually pretty boring. Standard hotel stuff. And it was a little musty.

Faustina Smith
Oh! What a disappointment. Still, I am so glad you are getting to spend all this time with your dad and your family!
