LOL! I’ll have to be an off-screen character. Bill wants the computer.

You should be the Beaver.

NnBob, you never struck me as being the fawning type...

"NnBob, you never struck me as being the fawning type...

In the movie I saw, the Fawn seemed more like a Pan spirit. That's the one I can identify with.

From a Wiki article linked from Pan ...

"In Roman mythology, fauns are place-spirits (genii) of untamed woodland. Romans connected their fauns with the Greek satyrs, wild and orgiastic drunken followers of Bacchus (Greek Dionysus). However, fauns and satyrs were originally quite different creatures. Both have horns and both resemble goats below the waist, humans above; but originally satyrs had human feet, fauns goatlike hooves. The Romans also had a god named Faunus and goddess Bona Dea, who, like the fauns, were goat-people."

I'm not sure I get all the distinctions between them, but it has a certain appeal to me.

Wine, anyone?

NnBob, in the movie (and book) he was a Faun, not a Fawn. The former is a Pan spirit -- the latter is Bambi (deer-spawn). You don't strike me as a Bambi. *\;-)

I couldn’t see the spelling in the word balloons.

Bambi?

Oh dear! ... No. I have a copy of Narnia right here within arm’s reach. I guess I could have looked it up. It always struck me as odd that they called him Fawn. He looked like Pan to me.

You learn something new every day. One day, you learn something fatal ... “This is funny,” said Doc Holliday.

Good morning. Doc Holliday had a subtle sense of humor.

Busy this morning, collecting our various items from where they landed in different vehicles all weekend, and we’ve probably left some stuff at the church, and we need to go to the library because we have books due, and the Blockbuster because we have movies due ...

And I need to make Tom a Hallowe’en costume by Thursday, for the Cub Scouts meeting.

Excelsior!

Speaking of fun, the boys have invented a new game: “The Bath From the North, Too!”

It involves lots of running, flailing, and shrieking, but no water (so far.) I think it’s time to declare a Universal Nap, before they realize they need water.
