New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

Bud, Lou and derelict in cell:
Derelict: I haven’t always been a derelect ... (looks at Lou) ... like you.
Lou Costello: Don’t call me those kind of bad names!
Derelict: Would you like to hear my story?
Lou Costello: No
Derelict: Very well, then I’ll tell it to you
Bud Abbott: Go ahead
Derelict: (to Bud) Thank you ... many years ago my father gave me the benefit of a very good education (sad music playing) ... then .. I met her. She was beautiful ... glorious. We were married. two years later - a baby boy. I haven’t seen that boy till this very day.
Lou Costello: Did you say a little baby boy?
Derelict: Yes!
Lou Costello: Did he have brown eyes?
Derelict: Yes he did!
Lou Costello: And two little teeth in the front?
Derelict: (Excitedly) Yes, yes!
Lou Costello: And black hair?
Derelict: Yes!
Lou Costello: Daddy!
(derelict pushes Lou away)
Bud Abbott: Oh what’s the matter with you? Sit still! Keep quiet. Stop interupting the man!
Lou Costello: Well, I thought I found my father!
Bud Abbott: Quiet! (turns to derelict) - go ahead.
Derelict: Thank you. We were very happy, my little family. One morning we were seated around the breakfast table and a knock came at the door. There stood a man. He was broken in health and spirit. I bade him enter, I welcomed him into my home. I said ‘make my home your home’...and he did! One day I returned from work to find that home was no longer a home. My wife ... the baby… and the stranger had fled. Then one day ... at the banks of the Poko Moko I found them. Suddenly my brain snapped. All the years of pent up emotion of years suffering welled up within me. I knew I would never be satisfied until I had my bony fingers wrapped around his throat. So with murder in my heart ... slooooooowly I turned (acting this out as he speaks, focusing on Lou), step by step, step by step I crept upon him (creeping towards Lou) and when I saw the stare in his face ... I struck and I grabbed him (Grabs Lou and starts pushing him against the wall and shouting at him)
Bud Abbott: What’s the matter? Why are you interupting the man for?
Derelict: My poor friend, I’m sorry. But everytime I hear the word Poko Moko, I just want to kill!
Lou Costello: Take it easy pal, take it easy!
Bud Abbott: See, everytime he hears that word: ‘Poko Moko’
Derelict: Poko Moko!!!! OOhh, I knew I’d never be satisfied until I had his blood running between my fingers...so slowly I turned (does action) step by step, step by step I crept upon him - and when I saw the streak on his countenance I grabbed him and I couldn’t help myself (throws Lou against the wall and begins beating him up) and I was going out my mind (calms down, breathless)
Lou Costello: (takes an exaggerated boxing stance)
Bud Abbott: Stand still! What’s the matter with you? The man’s telling you his life’s history. It’s interesting.
Derelict: My poor friend! I did it again didn’t I?
Bud Abbott: It’s alright, it’s alright
Derelict: What’s happening to me?
Lou Costello: It’s not happening to you brother, it’s all happening over here!
Bud Abbott: Just ... don’t use that word ....
Lou Costello: Don’t ... don’t ... don’t ... don’t. He means "Pocahontas!"
Derelict: (reacts for a second)
Lou Costello: (stopping him) Pocahontas!!
Bud Abbott: Yes, it’s alright
Lou Costello: Sounds like Coko Moko or something
Bud Abbott: Shhh!
Derelict: Poko Moko! BBBRRRRRR...So slowly I turned! Step by step, step by step (Lou calls out for Bud in a quiet voice) ... and when I crept upon him ... I grabbed him and (again beats Lou and repeatedly slams him into the wall, then throws him across the cell to the other wall knocking his hat off)
Bud Abbott: (angrily to derelect) Just a minute ... just a minute! Now you’ve been getting away with murder. Enough is enough. You understand that? I’ve stood by and watched all this! And I’ve let you get away with it ... but no more! (bends down and picks up Lou’s hat) - These things cost money. Be careful how you handle them!
That was one of the best Chloe moments *ever*.
Netflix says the release date for Season 5 is unknown. Season 4 was December.
Oh ever since 0730 this morning. grrr.
I haven't seen any of season 5, but I know what of you speak. My inner Chloe would like to take a taser to a meeting later this week. But I don't think I'll let her. :(
*sigh*
Of course, the folks on this thread don't understand just what it was about the original article that was offensive. I'd agree that someone who is extremely ambitious and a workoholic to the point where everything else in live is secondary isn't gonna be a good wife or mother, but the definition of "career woman" in the original article was just ridiculous.
Made ya look.
;-)
Just don't let 'em have your stapler...
They are taking my stapler, and telling me they're switching to bananas instead.
I didn't realize you worked for the government.
Stupidity is not limited to government :~)
true that
Thanks, I get 2 pair from my sister every year at Christmas. Looks like it's almost time to switch to the black pair.
Nice meeting you on Saturday.
So, how'd you meet Talon. And what things can you tell us that we can use later to embarrass him?
Click on my profile and see the pic with my family and the helicopter? I'm wearing my navy pair.
We went to college together. We were also roommates for the last 3 months of our senior year. As Talon is a little occupied for the week, I'll think up some good ones and start posting them after work.
Excellent.
Yes, indeed. Take care to manage the situation as best you can. The stress that it can produce is horribly corrosive to you health and happiness. (voice of experience here) My manager is in the process of firing another one of us - always a morale booster. I'll be happy to commiserate via fr-mail if ya like.
