HAVE A LOOKSEE at what Betsy (My Five Men)
kindly bestowed upon me (Thank you!),
just for the asking:
kindly bestowed upon me (Thank you!),
just for the asking:
YES. THAT’S AN "N" alright. You see, some days ago, I paid a visit to MuseSwings' blog, where a game of tag was ensuing. Bloggybuddy Betsy had made her "it" with the dispensation of the letter "F." Confused? Here’s the gist: somehow, Betsy managed to get her little mitties on an entire set of the alphabet, doling out the sixth letter to MuseWings, free of charge-- just so long as she named ten things favorite to her that started with that gratuitous "F." MuseSwings' list (numbers one and eight in particular) was terrific! If you get a chance, check it out-- and thanks to you, too, MuseSwings!
(PLEASE NOTE: For some strange reason, blogspot is not accepting "hidden" links. To visit MuseSwings and My Five Men's "letter" blogs, follow the yellow brick roads below. Thanks!

THE ENTRY ALSO includes an open invitation to anyone wanting to play along. All you have to do is leave a comment with Betsy at her "M Stands For..." blog (see link above). She will supply you with a letter to use for your post. While you’re there, sit a spell and enjoy (I know I did!) Betsy's favorite "M" words as well.
(SECOND "PLEASE NOTE": If by chance her offer has since expired, give this blog o’ mine a stop-back. I’d be glad to remove the rabbit from the top hat I keep on the bookshelf for instances such as this, toss in all the tiles from my Scrabble game, and then pull one out just for you! Really. It'd be no problem. As far as that goes, the rabbit could stand a smitch of exercise.)
NOW, ON WITH the show!
"N" is for...
1. Noddy,lovingly known as Pie
THIS "N" is our youngest kit-kat who thinks he’s a dog (Among other canine attributes, this guy simply loves rawhide bones and relentlessly tries to bury them in --more like on-- the livingroom hardwood floor.), but in reality, is much closer to being a major
oink,as hygiene is a "Who cares?" with him.
Typically, Noddy’s white fur is grey.
2. ‘NsomniaIT OWNS ME and, quite honestly, I’ve come to enjoy it. I like the kind of quiet that happens only when all else is dead-to-the-world asleep. Some nights, I pretend I’m
Jack Bauer,who, like rust, never sleeps either.
Oh, and add
NOT having to poop
to his agenda, too.
3. Nancy Drew(Drew? Drew what?! Now, there lies the real mystery.
Can someone PLEASE tell me where her d*** illustrations are, anyway?)
WITH NO DISRESPECT to the author and her followers intended, my daughter, Puppet, and I celebrate impromptu Nancy Drew-athons, where she reads aloud from her unrevised, pre-1959 Carolyn Keene book collection. We howl till we cry and die laughing!
4. Necco Wafers,especially chocolate flavored!
‘Nnette,whose biggest fan is Yours Tah-ruly
(I be Gilda’s, too!).
6. Night,
Vincent’s starry one.7. Louis "Hi, ho, Steverino!" Nye
fondly remembered as
Sonny Drysdale8. Nitwits,
Shemp Howardbeing top drawer!
9. ‘N sync,MINUS JC Chasez, Lance Bass,
Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone,
that is.
Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone,
that is.
I FIND JUSTIN Timberlake to be a riot! I’m not hip to his "real" musical contributions; it’s his comedy stuff I’m after. For instance, his
hilarious sketch performances
on Saturday Night Live are,
if I may steal a mot from
Jerry Lewis, famed inventor of the French fry:
MAGNIFIQUE!
(Sorry, Jare-Bear, I loved ya better during
your "Hey, Lay-daaay!" days.)
your "Hey, Lay-daaay!" days.)
9½ . Nuts,which I considered to be the ultimate word
the English language ever gave us, when I was
a smitch and at which time, I wore out
completely.
10. Nilsson
completely.
10. NilssonALL TOGETHER NOW,
a one and a two and a...
Put the lime in coconut and drink 'em both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em bot' up,
Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning!
THERE. WITH THAT BEING sung,
and superbly, I might add,
these "N"s have taken us
full --Back to the blog title with ya!-- circle!
ONE WORD: ‘Nebriated.
CARRY ON, BUT be mindful. It’s Lent, you know. That could mean an Up There (at least that’s where she thought she’d be going) Sister Irena may be watchinyoos. So, for God’ s sake, don’t be eating the meat!

RIP, my Mollo and Drea.
P.S. IN ALL FAIRNESS, Sister Irena, you were my favorite "personality" in grade school. I can hear you responding to the class clown through teeth tight like a mouth wired shut, as if it were yesterday: "Roger Matson, you're as funny as a CRUTCH." Yes, Sister, yours were the lessons that went beyond the text books for me, and I thank you. If your name had started with an "N," you would have definitely made the list.
