More about celebrating Bill Murray than anything else I think
Ok, I’ll allow it.
True story, Bill Murray via Nick the Lounge Singer helped me recover from a stroke.
When I came to I couldnt speak, it was like the mind buffer that holds all your commonly used words was erased.
Everyone around me was speaking in a strange six syllable code language to try to keep me from recognizing them as the cold war russian spies I knew they were and keep me from understanding what their plot really was. I didnt know why they wanted me so badly as to kidnap me after all these years but obviously they were still pissed about something.
While making my plan to attack them to enable my escape, the language that they spoke was changing to a less complex code of fewer syllables or I was beginning to understand it.
It didnt make a difference what they were saying. I was going to jump down off the table, kill the fake nurse and doctor, then jump off the balcony that appeared to be on the other side of the obviously fake hospital ward.
As I was about to jump something restrained me in a rather uncomfortable way. I had forgotten to pull the foley. Half hanging off the bed and struggling to not fall while pulling out the catheter caused enough noise to alert the nurse.
She started yelling and my family came rushing into the room. Clearly the russians had coerced my family into participation. While I listened to my family talk that buffer of commonly used vocabulary words began to refill.
My family was begging me to say something. I wanted to say something but didnt want the russians to know that I was on to them yet wanted to console my families concerns.
Pretend Im crazy!
Nick the Lounge Singer filled me from within and burst forth from my mouth in his most triumphant return doing a rendition of the theme from Love Boat as only he could. The russians came running into the room as Nick transitioned to Star Wars. The power of Nicks singing had won over the russians that were now smiling and talking excitedly with my family.
If it werent for the Nicks heroism, I might still be mute and the russians may have won the day.
