Of Polar Plunges and such…..

……HI FOLKS!!!!! PATRICK HERE!!!!

Sorry it’s been so long since you’ve heard from me, between battling a cold, keeping Dadzilla (said lovingly) healthy and well, and work, it’s been…hectic. To say the least. %-P

I have indeed begun work on the Polar Plunge 2009 costumes: this year’s theme is from Jerry Samuels’ (aka Napoleon XIV) hit “they’re coming to take me away ha-haa!!!” (Here’s the Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They’re_Coming_to_Take_Me_Away_Ha-Haaa!

 
I have again made simple costumes: bright orange hospital gowns with the words HAPPY ACRES FUNNY FARM stenciled on, and accessorized with props…a napoleon hat, a colander hat with a towel cape, a butterfly net and a tutu. I claim the tutu, Bob and Dave can fight over the Napoleon hat and the colander helmet. As for production costs, you can buy me breakfast or lunch since I’ll be staying at a hotel for Friday and Saturday night this year. (So I can thaw out!!!)

As for codenames: I’ll take Prince(ss) Screwball (aka George Washington). (When you see my hat, you’ll know why!!)

*****So Bob sez, he sez: A day later, we’ll be holding our annual Intergalactic Food Festival. We considered trying to hold the festival following the plunge but we felt it just was a bit much to pack into one day.

**********Yeah, not to mention it’ll be C R O W D E D as anyone who’se been there on that day can attest. %-) it’ll be good to have a nice weekend down the shore with my crazy pals!!!!

Let’s hope it’s not like Rura Penthe outside like the last couple weeks….BRUTAL cold. This beaing my 5th sraight year of this madness, I should be committed!!!!!

See you in the funny pages! My prayers and best wishes to Kenny!!!!!! Patrick (on behalf of DaiMon Pong @^_^@)
