Have a great day, Misha.
Hugs,

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LJB

Dear LJB, Happy Birthday,
A Chicago fan of our Clay!
A favorite song, "I Survived You,"
And "Mary Did You Know" is, too.

You love Clay's adorable tush.
(Your Avie? That picture you took!)
And Clay in snug, form fitting jeans!
(Wow! That's a look that's really keen!)

Private tutor, your specialty:
That's learning disabilities
And behavior disorders, too.
(Clay would admire all that you do!)

Clay concerts: Chicago, that's three:
AI2, IT, JNT.
Rockford, Appleton, Milwaukee:
The ST. (LA, the IT.)

Three concerts, you had FIRST ROW SEATS
And passes for a MEET AND GREET!
A wish for you on your Birthday:
More great seats, meet and greets, with Clay!

Have a lovely day, Lisa.
Hugs,
Prissy

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAYMANIAC2000

Claymaniac2000, oh!
Today's a special day.
Clay fan from Naples, Florida,
A most Happy Birthday!

You are retired and love to do
Clay research in spare time.
You always let us know Clay news.
(Such "neat" Clay things, you find!)

An untucked shirt and tie, you like,
Fedora and jeans, too.
Now, Clay with stubble and glasses,
That's also liked by you.

"Bridge Over Troubled Water's" great
And, also, "Solitaire."
And "I Know How the River Feels,"
Are songs for which you care.

You love everything about Clay,
Especially his big heart!
You love him with your heart and soul.
(From Clay, you'll never part!)

Enjoy your "68th" Birthday,
And here's a wish or two.
More fun times here on this Clay site
(And Clay concerts for you!!)

Have a joyous day, Janet, and may this be the year you get to see Clay in concert!
Love,
Prissy

Dear Prissy,
Thank you so much for wanting to write a poem for me.

Janet

------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STELLIUM

A Happy Birthday, stellium,
Illinois fan of Clay.
A librarian for three schools.
(You bred two champ Great Danes!)

A writer, you've had articles
Published in magazines.
(And your birthday's the date of Clay's
First hit single release!)

Oh, you like Clay's luscious lashes
And his sparkling green eyes.
Clay in an untucked shirt and tie,
That look's especially nice!

You like Clay's "Mary Did You Know"
And "I Will Carry You."
Another favorite is "Good News."
(Great songs! How can one choose?)

So far, two Clay concerts for you,
St. Louis, the IT.
And then, at the Springfield State Fair,
Clay shone in his ST.

You don't care about someone's looks,
You sense their potential.
The underdog, you will defend.
You'll always give your all.

You really feel quite young inside.
You're "63" today.
A wish for you on this Birthday:
More concerts with our Clay!

Have a stupendous day, stellium.
Hugs,
Prissy

I love each and every post and just put a Clay picture present as my computer background on the opening page. You guys are the best.

Thanks Prissy,

------------------------------------------------------------------------
IHAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANN

Oh, JoAnn, a Happy Birthday,
A Fort Worth, Texas fan of Clay!
You teach in elementary school.
(Do second graders think Clay's cool?)

You like to paint and sketch and read,
And travel is such fun, I see.
Crossword and jigsaw puzzles, too.
Shopping, card games, also for you.

You like Clay's relaxed look in jeans.
And, ooh, his smile is really keen.
"Birdge Over Troubled Water's" great,
And "Solitaire," always first rate!

You admire the standards Clay keeps,
Dedication to his beliefs,
The closeness he has with Mom, Faye.
(There's so much more that you could say.)

In Dallas, the AI2 Tour.
Grand Prairie, IT, Solo Tour.
Solo Tour in Charlotte, also.
This summer, Clay, three times! (Let's go!)

Enjoy your "54th" Birthday.
(And this year, more trips to see Clay!)

Have a joyous birthday, JoAnn.
Love,
Prissy

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Prissy the poem was so fantastic!

Thank you,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAMELA

Dear Pamela, Happy Birthday,
From Clayton, you're a fan of Clay!
Customer Service, that's your work,
(And you're our Chief Moderator!)

You design and make bead jewelry;
And Clay, why he's your main "hobby."
You love Claymaniacs, that's true!
(From Clay, you want a CD soon!)

You love Clay's smile; his gorgeous eyes.
His "lower register!" So nice!
Clay in a hoodie. That's a hit!
(But, oh wow! Clay in JEANS THAT FIT!)

"I Will Be Here" and "Buttercup,"
"Silent Night," "On the Wings of Love,"
"Shine," "Fields of Gold," and many more!
(So many Clay songs, you adore!)

Clay concerts! A dozen you've seen!
In Raleigh, five times; Charlotte, three.
Once: Winston, Greenville, Musikfest;
Greensboro, too! ("Live" Clay's the best!)

Pam, you're the "Leader of our Pack,"
The Guide for each Claymaniac.
Enjoy today and all this week
With "homeboy" Clay! (Oops! Mr. P!)

Have a fantastic day and week, Pamela.
You are the best!
Love,
Prissy

Thank you Prissy! I'll be traveling next week, but I'll have my laptop. Don't know how often I can check in, but I will at least be on by Tuesday.

Love you!~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORILOVESGOLF

Lorilovesgolf, Happy Birthday,
A Mississippi fan of Clay!
A Paralegal, yes, it's true.
(But golf! That's really fun for you!)

You love to read and ride your bike,
Work in the yard and be outside.
This site feels like a family,
And more of us you hope to meet!

"Invisible" and "Chain of Fools,"
And "Go the Distance" are so cool!
But "I Know How the River Feels"
And "Good News," why, they give you chills!

When Clay sang "Good News" in that suit,
You loved that look. He was so cute!
His new soft, dark brown hair, first rate,
But spiked with highlights is still great!

Three times you saw Clay in DC,
Capitol Fourth, AI, IT.
Dover: Benefit and NASCAR,
The JNT in Baltimore.

"Clay cares for people," says this fan,
And, yes, you just "love the whole man."
Enjoy your "49th" Birthday.
(Why not a golf "twosome" with Clay!!)

Have a lovely birthday, Lori.
Love,
Prissy

Prissy:
I love your birthday poems! You are so good at them! I would feel honored if you did one for my birthday! Thank you so much.

PRISSY!!! Thank you for my beautiful poem!!! You did a GREAT job!!! I haven't visited my birthday thread since this morning. I didn't want to miss the party tonight. I am looking forward to checking it out later!! OMG!!! me, Clay & Hubby in the same pic!!!  

I just wanted to thank Prissy and Clandygirl for my birthday thread...and all of you for the amazing words you have sent to me today. I have never been so touched by the love you guys have shown through your posts to me today. Each and every one of you have been such an amazing support group to me and most of the time without even knowing it. I NEVER thought a year ago that I would have met so many caring friends....friends that all LOVE Clay too...imagine that!!! I am TRULY blessed to have friends like you and even a Claymaniac guardian angel in heaven. I love and miss you Julie!!!

Prissy,

I just wanted to thank you for my beautiful birthday poem.  I wasn't sure if you read back and saw my post, but I wanted to make sure you knew how much I appreciated it!!!

It is such a wonderful thing you do for everyone, as I am sure there are many people here who may not get a Happy Birthday from anyone else.  

I know it is a lot of work and a lot of your time spent giving to others so selflessly.  I hope we get a chance to meet someday.

Thank you again!!

Love,
Cindy[/quote]

In the attendance office. Cool!

You love to garden and to read,
And have a new camera, I see.

His hair shorter with blond highlights,
That casual look, jeans and T-shirts,
Quick comebacks, and sense of humor!

A favorite song of yours, "The Way,"
And you love all duets by Clay,
Such as the one with sweet Cherie
And, also, with Heather Headley.

Clay concerts, three times, the IT,
And four times for the NAT,
Two JNT's for you, also.

You've met nice people on this site,

I would send Clay to San Jose!

Have a terrific day, Carol.
Love,
Prissy

JULY BIRTHDAYS (LAST TWO POEMS)

Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2005 2:17 am    Post subject: Happy Birthday   
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUTTHEREFORCLAY

Outthereforclay, Happy Birthday,
A California fan of Clay!
A teacher sub, you've been a while,
(Yet you are very versatile!)

You're also an event planner.
(You've been a corporate trainer.)
Project management, you do, too,
(And you've taught English in high school.)

Clay's mouth, agile tongue, perfect lips
Could cause your heart some beats to skip!
His pants that "drape" with tucked-in shirt,
Collar "open." (Please, no t-shirt!)

Clay's "Solitaire," when performed live;
Great pleasure from this, you derive.
And, wow, when Clay really lets loose
With songs like "Doves." (Does Clay seduce?)

Clay in concert, four times, IT,
And five times for the NAT.
THe JNT, why, you saw twice.
The JBT, five more times. Nice!

Your writings leave us all in awe!
You paint word pictures. (We just draw.)
A professional singer, too,
(Would you like Clay to "sing" with you?)

From heaven, Clay's God-given voice,
The joy he lives, makes him your choice.
For you, many more great birthdays,
This new half century with Clay!

Have an absolutely awesome day, Amy.
Hugs,
Prissy

I would like to share with you Amy's own expressive words about Clay:

I can honestly say that the things that have come to me because of Clay Aiken have made my life richer and fuller. I recently saw "Shall We Dance" and I identified with the character who said that he didn't know he was missing something until he discovered dancing. That's how I feel about Clay. My life was full and happy. Then Clay came along...and the people I've come to know because of Clay and the pure joy and meaning Clay himself represents and infuses in my own life......it's all an incredible blessing and my life has never been more wonderful!


Prissy, this is incredible of you! What a wonderful thing to do...Thank you!

THis is SOOOO exciting! Thanks, everybody! I just popped in after our little town's annual "Mayor's Parade" and am just grinning from ear to ear, reading all the wonderful Happy Birthday WIshes!

Prissy, your poem is too terrific! THank you SOOOO much! MWAH!

Happy 4th, Fellow Clay Lovers!

Clara

   I swear, you and Prissy are making me blush! How great is your song for me?!?!??!!? Thank you!

And I will definitely use my imagination, babe! It's one of the things I do best....heh heh....I don't always do as well at keeping my imagination within certain "rules and regulations", but hey!

Another bow to my poets and songwriters...Prissy and Clara ..and Marilyn  

PS - Clara and Prissy, you seriously rock!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CJRMAX

Cjrmax, Happy Birthday,
Near Philly, you're a fan of Clay!
You are the manager, I see,
Of a "cool" travel agency!

You love Clay's stubble, lips, and eyes.
His hands and smile are also nice.
You also like other Clay "parts,"
(Like...oh, his hair and...yes, his heart!)

At "Wango Tango" that Clay look
And Ryan's "On Air," you were hooked!
Tucked-in shirt and skinny black tie
And, wow, those tight black jeans! (Oh, my!)

A favorite song? Yes, it's still "Touch."
A year ago, you said as much.
Another favorite may appear,
(But live "Touch" we still want to hear!)

Clay concerts, three times, the IT,
And eight times for the NAT.
JNT, three; JBT, six.
(Dover, BAF Benefit!)

May your Clay good times never end
For you and for all your Clay friends!
"Can one ever have enough Clay?"
Our answer, NO! That's what we say!

Have a wonderful day and year, Christie.
Hugs,
Prissy

Prissy - I was honored to be the recipient of your final birthday poem! Thanks so much for making my birthday - and so many others' birthdays - so very special.

[Prissy]

Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2005 9:12 pm    Post subject: THANK YOU PRISSY!   
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For over a year, Prissy has been thoughtful and generous with her time and energy as she graced many of us with a touching tribute in poetry on our birthdays.

Prissy's poems and birthday threads have been a very special part of this community for over a year, and with Christie's birthday poem and thread today, she is retiring.

We are grateful and honored by the kindness shown to us by Prissy. I think I speak for everyone when I say,

"Thank You Prissy! You made our birthdays special, and we love you!"

All Prissy's birthday poems are archived in the Fun Stuff thread, found HERE.

When we move to our new forum, there will be a special feature that will post each person's birthday on the forum index page! Go look; scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see.

TEST FORUM INDEX PAGE

But never fear...we'll still honor each of our active members on their birthdays. Starting tomorrow, we'll have a different format, but we'll still be celebrating!

Again, thank you Prissy - you are appreciated!!

BIRTHDAY POEMS

A year's cycle is now complete
Of Birthday Poems, to you from me.
Perhaps your poem caused you to smile,
(Maybe you "saved" it for a while!)

When I began, I read each post
To know you and what you liked most.
But that task became hard to do;
(Hundreds/THOUSANDS of posts by you!)

So, then I sent the "questionnaire,"
And, kindly, many thoughts you shared
About yourself and, also, Clay.
(Such lovely things you  had to say!)

Once started, it took little time
To write a poem with time and rhyme.
ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR in all!
('Twas my pleasure!  I had a ball!)

Affectionately,

GET SMART...GET HIM!!

Chief: "Alright, Max, the Pentagon has sent word that KAOS is gonna try and mess with CONTROL's latest attempts at bringing peace to Falkour Street."

Smart: "But Chief, peace can never be brought to Falkour Street. You know how rough and vicious the residents on that street are don't you? They're mean and rotten..."

Chief: "Max, i find that a little hard to believe..."

Smart: "What about cruel and sneaky?"

Chief: "Still...i find that a little hard to believe..."

Smart: "Would you believe...sweet and kind??"

Chief: "Max, here is the official documents detailing your check point with the Falkour Fellowship Foundation. I don't have to remind you that Falkour Street needs peace brought into it's atmosphere. You will probably be shot at and pursued around the clock. You probably won't get any sleep at all."

Smart: "...And loving it..."
=============================

99: "Well, Max...we made it to Falkour street...what next?"

Smart: "The documents claim that we're suppose to meet with a double-agent named Squid. Apparently Squid is gonna give us some information about KAOS...but, we're gonna be giving Squid phony information in return about CONTROL."

99: "Could that be, Squid?"

Smart: "Hmmm...it looks like him, 99. Do you know of any of our other double-agents who has 8 arms and 2 tentacles?"
=================================

Squid: "Yo-ho there agent 86! I see you are wanting some information about KAOS!"

Smart: "Correct!"

Squid: "Well, Squid doesn't just give out information without a price! You give me information about CONTROL and we'll go from there..."

99: "Not so fast, Squid...we want to see the KAOS folder first..."

Squid: "Foolish girl...do you think Squid would carry around sensitive information like that??"

Smart: "OK, Squid...here's the CONTROL information you wanted...now, where is the KAOS folder..."

Squid: "Right this way, Agent 86...pardon my rudeness at not opening the door but i got all of my hands full at the moment..."
=============================

Smart: "Hey...what is this???"

Squid: "So long, suckers! Hahahahahaha! Did you really think i was gonna give you any KAOS information about Falkour Street???"

Smart: "99, it's getting to be where a person can't even trust a double-agent!!"
================================

Squid: "Pardon me, but i MUST get to KAOS headquarters. Mast-a-Don-Don will see that you're taken care of FOR GOOD!"
=================================

99: "Max, look...i think we can sneak out of here through that vent in the wall..."

Smart: "I'll distract Mast-a-Don-Don while you go over and open the vent...he won't be watching where you are since i'm the one Squid was after in the first place."
=====================================

Smart: "Hey, Don-Don...i hear that KAOS is really gonna have a terrible year out on the football field...last year they finished 8th in the Spy-Sports Scholastics."

Don-Don: "Just you wait, 86! KAOS is gonna whip CONTROL all over the place this season! We'll see who finishes first THIS season!"
===========================

99 whispers in Max's ear that she opened the vent and they're ready...
============================

Smart: "Well, Don-Don, it's been nice chatting with you but if you will excuse us 99 and i have a previous engagement to attend to...quick 99...through the vent!!"

Don-Don: "Well, of all the nerve! Squid isn't gonna like this! I think it's time for me to put in for that assignment in Siberia!!"
=============================

Chief: "Well, Max and 99, you foiled KAOS once again and stopped their plans of turning Falkour Street into a way-station for Slim-Fast users. One thing that puzzles me...what happened to Squid??"

99: "Oh, we took care of him. That false information we gave him about CONTROL had him running all over the Alps in search of $40,000,000. Mast-a-Don-Don we heard ended up going to Siberia."

Smart: "Don't tell Chief about the octopuss..."

Chief: "The octopuss??"

99: "Max wasn't sure about Squid at first...he thought Squid was an octopuss."

Smart: "99, i ASKED you not to tell him that! In other words, Chief, it was the old squid masqerading as the octopuss trick!"

Chief: "Now that the case is solved, i think i'll head out for dinner...Red Lobster is having a special on fried squid today! Yum Yum!"
============================
Max and 99 look at each other and both make a "yuck!" expression...the credits start to roll and CONTROL is in control once again...
=============================

LOVED ALL THE POEMS, PRISSY!!!

THE ABOVE SKIT IS MY TRIBUTE TO DON ADAMS WHO PASSED AWAY ON SUNDAY AT THE AGE OF 82 FROM A LUNG INFECTION. THE NEWS BROKE TODAY. ADAMS WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN AS MAXWELL SMART ON "GET SMART" FROM 1965-1970 BUT IN LATER YEARS HE PROVIDED THE VOICE OF THE ROBOTIC CARTOON VERSION OF MAXWELL SMART ON "INSPECTOR GADGET". ADAMS WAS ALSO THE VOICE OF ANOTHER CARTOON CHARACTER, THE CULT-CLASSIC "TENNESSEE TUXEDO". IN THE MID '80s DON ADAMS WAS THE STAR OF THE CANADIAN IMPORT COMEDY SERIES "CHECK IT OUT" FROM 1985-1988. IT RAN ON THE USA NETWORK HERE IN AMERICA.

AC,

That was terrific.  I remember Agent Smart always saying "Would you believe.........."  and I can hear his voice in my head, too, as I read your skit.  And I think his shoe was a phone.  All of it a take-off on the James Bond movies, probably.

It's hard to believe he was 82.

I'm glad to see you writing again.

=======================
WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IRONIC IS IF DON LIVED TO BE 86! HAD I PLANNED THAT SKIT OUT, I WAS GONNA BRING UP THE SHOE PHONE. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CONE OF SILENCE, TOO. CHIEF WOULD MENTION SOMETHING TOP SECRET, AND MAX WOULD LOOK VERY SERIOUS AND CAUTIOUS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD BE TALKING SO OPEN AND FREE AND HE'D INSIST THAT THE CHIEF USE THE CONE OF SILENCE! I'M LAUGHING THINKING ABOUT THE CHIEF'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AS HE WOEFULLY INSTRUCTS LARRABEE TO "LOWER THE CONE OF SILENCE".

THE JOKE ABOUT THIS INVENTION WAS IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SOUND-PROOF..."SILENT" FROM THE OUTSIDE SO NOBODY COULD HEAR WHAT WAS BEING SAID WHILE MAX AND THE CHIEF WERE UNDERNEATH IT BUT YET EVERYONE COULD HEAR THE WORDS ECHOING OUT FROM THE CONE OF SILENCE BUT YET THE PEOPLE INSIDE COULDN'T HEAR WHAT THE HECK THEY WERE SAYING BACK AND FOURTH.

MAX WOULD SAY SOMETHING AND CHIEF WOULD SAY: "HUH??" AND MAX WOULD SAY: "WHAT??". IT WOULD GO BACK AND FOURTH LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME UNTIL A FRUSTRATED CHIEF WOULD PUSH HIS BUTTON AND SAY: "LARRABEE, RAISE THE CONE OF SILENCE PLEASE!" AND THERE'S A PAUSE AND THEN YOU HEAR LARRABEE ON THE INTERCOM SAYING: "WHAT???"  

THANKS FOR LIKING THE QUICKLY WRITTEN SKIT!! AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE SEEN MY SHARE OF "GET SMART" I USED TO WATCH IT EVERYNIGHT ON NICK-AT-NITE. I WOULD WATCH "INSPECTOR GADGET" EVERY MORNING BEFORE SCHOOL, TOO.

IN THE EARLY RUN, IF GADGET WOULD SAY: "GO-GO GADGET COPTER", THE UMBRELLA WOULD POP OUT OF HIS HAT...BUT AS THE CARTOON PROGRESSED THE GADGET'S HE WOULD CALL OUT WOULD ACTUALLY APPEAR. BUT THERE WAS STILL ROOM FOR KLUTZY MISTAKES...ONE TIME HE CALLED OUT "GO-GO GADGET SKATES" AND HIS BINNOCULARS FLOPPED DOWN OVER HIS FACE INSTEAD...ON AN ICE SKATING RINK NO LESS...MAKING THE HOCKEY PLAYERS ON THE ICE APPEAR CLOSER THAN WHAT THEY WERE!

INSPECTOR GADGET WAS A PARODY OF "GET SMART" AND "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE"...ON EVERY CARTOON, INSPECTOR GADGET WOULD GET HIS ASSIGNMENT FROM CHIEF QUIMBY...AT THE END OF EVERY MESSAGE IT WOULD READ: THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT! GADGET'S CATCH-PHRASE AS HE'S MAKING HIS HASTY EXIT: "DON'T WORRY, CHIEF, I'M ALWAYS ON DUTY...". GADGET WOULD THEN TOSS THE CRUMPLED UP MESSAGE IN THE AIR AND IT WOULD EXPLODE ALL OVER THE CHIEF.

SORRY ABOUT THAT LONG WINDED DON ADAMS-MAXWELL SMART-INSPECTOR GADGET SUMMARY!!

AC INTERVIEWS
It's THAT time again!! Yes...really!!! It's time once again to sit back and read some outrageous goings-on as AC interviews...

AC: "Today on AC Interviews i'm gonna interview one of the most prolific people on planet Earth. He's a legend in his own mind and i know you'll make him feel welcome. Oswald Jones."

Ossie: "It's great to be here. I would say something else but i feel rather like a clichè this morning."

AC: "Good for you, Ossie. I always say a clichè a day helps keep the editor at bay."

crickets chirp as AC shakes his head as Jimmy Durante and exclaims: "Heh, heh, heh, i got a million of 'em...

AC: "Welll, let's see here. You are one of the most prolific people on planet Earth according to the author of MEN EAT MARS CANDY BARS, WOMEN ARE EATEN BY VENUS FLYTRAPS. Would you say this prolification stems from anything prolific that you do or is this just a name that the press tagged you with?"

Ossie: "I wouldn't say i'm prolific. YOU can say i am but i wouldn't say something like that about myself. I believe you, though. I believe i'm prolific because you say i am but i wouldn't believe myself if i called my own self prolific. I can't be that arrogant but i believe you all the same."

AC: "Being prolific, i'm sure you are also Pro-Life. Right?"

crickets chirp as AC dons a hat, shakes his head again, and exclaims in full Durante candor: "Heh, heh, heh...i got a million of 'em!"

Ossie: "No, that wouldn't mean i'm Pro-Life just because YOU say i'm prolific of which i entirely agree with you about me being prolific because YOU said i am...I didn't say i am...let's get the facts, straight."

AC: "Certainly you must realize that when a person is as prolific as you are, there tends to me a touch of egotism involved. You know...a little bit of arrogance...i fully understand your egotism and i applaud your arrogance. That's something that's really lacking in today's show-biz. A nice dose of arrogance goes a long way."

Ossie: "AC, my man...my pal...i agree with you 100%. I don't feel i'm arrogant or egotisical but if you say i am then i believe you. Again, i also believe it when you say i'm prolific. But i would never say those things about myself. I would never say i'm arrogant, egotistical, or prolific. I just couldn't say things like that about myself. I just couldn't. But YOU can say it if you want and i believe you."

AC: "Hold that thought, Ossie. We'll be back after these messages..."

AC,

I really enjoyed that.  You definitely are channeling some old time radio!  Is it possible you're a reincarnation of someone  from the "heyday" of radio?

=====================
Well, my middle name is Allen so maybe i'm the reincarnation of Fred Allen?? Isn't THAT a scary thought!!!

I'm glad you liked that little skit!! I was gonna end it sooner but i got the idea to put in that "pledge break" at the last minute.

HELLO PRISSY!! I'M POSTING A SONG PARODY ABOUT LORRAINE HERE. I'VE POSTED IT ON "GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN" BUT I WANTED TO POST IT HERE, TOO. IT'S A SONG CALLED "PROUD RAINEY" WHICH IS A PARODY OF "PROUD MARY" OF COURSE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE A FAN OF NAUGHTY HUMOR OR NOT BUT KEEPING WITH THE LORRAINE 'CHARACTER' I THINK THE LYRICS FIT NICELY

PROUD RAINEY[/u]
written by ACcountryFan; parody of "Proud Mary"

She's got a steady job in the city
Waking up to a new man every night and day
But she never lost any minute of sleeping
Until she heard of a guy called Clay

Bed springs keep on movin'
Proud Rainey keeps on a groovin'
She's movin'
I said she's movin'
She's a groovin' as she slithers

She had a lot of men down in Memphis
Bopped quite a few down in New Orleans
Then there was that guy
That she could never quite take
Then she found out he was a fairy* boat queen

But her bed springs kept on movin'
Proud Rainey kept on a groovin'
She's movin'
I said she's movin'
She's a groovin' when she slithers

MISTER WHIZZER'S WORLD

In the never ending story to find out all the spooky goings-on at the haunted house, Mister Whizzer and a few "lucky" people spend the night there; I must warn you, though...Mister Whizzer has to use the bathroom whenever he's excited or nervous...which makes for a rather peculiar night in the haunted house...and what will Mister Whizzer be looking for tonight??? Well, the same as usual...he keeps hearing applause but can't find out where it's coming from...so let's all hop aboard Mister Whizzer's World...

Whiz: "Some of you can leave if you want to...but i warn you, you will NEVER find your way home because it's not only dark outside but we're also on an island...and the boat that brought us here has long since departed."

Merrick: "You sneaky so and so..."

Whiz: "Now...on we go to the haunted house! We're gonna get to the bottom of the spooky goings-on if it's the last thing we do."

Hugo: "And it probably will be!!"
===========================

Later...Mister Whizzer, Merrick, and Hugo arrive at the haunted house; Whizzer and the crew walk in...immediately they meet up with some spooky goings-on

=============================

Hugo: "I don't think this is the right time to be here...i mean, it's the eve of Halloween and all of that!!"

Whiz: "Nonsense!! Now, the two of you grab this couch and we'll move it over near the fireplace."

Merrick: "Hey!! I've just about had enough with YOU giving the orders around here!"

Whiz: "Oh i'm sooooo sorry!!! What do YOU want to do Mister Merrick???"

Merrick: "I wanna first turn on the lights. In all those scary movies, nobody hardly turns on the lights."

Hugo: "Yeah!!! I want the lights on!! Come on...let's turn on the lights...let's...oh my god...did any of you all hear that???"
==============================

Whizzer and company listen to applause...

================================

Whiz: "Well, it sounds like it's just ONE person applauding. Come on you two! We gotta search high and low and find the Clap! What was that noise??? False alarm...no...oh my gosh...AHHHHHHHH...i hear that applauding getting louder!! Hold the fort boys, i gotta take a pee break!"

=================================

Whizzer whisks himself away to use the bathroom; Later, he and the gang search the haunted house for the Clap; Hugo thought he had the Clap within his grasp but it was a dead-end and went nowhere; Merrick later thought he discovered the Clap but again...another false alarm...

===================================

Whiz: "Holy cow!! Who knew that trying to get the Clap would be THIS difficult!?!?! The two of you have had enough false alarms to start your own falsie business. Wait a second...i hear that applause coming from...yes...i THINK i've found the origin of the Clap! COME ON!!! Oh darn it!!! Hold the fort...i gotta go take a pee break..."

=====================================

Whizzer whisks himself off to whiz; Later, he and his band of merry men race off in search of the Clap and it's origin...they all run into the den...

======================================

Whizzer: "Ah ha!!! Just as i suspected!! It's the butler, Jesus!!! What in god's name caused you to be in here clapping???"

Merrick: "Yeah!!! You're a pretty crafty butler...it's not gonna look too pretty when word gets out that you are the one with the Clap."

Hugo: "Yeah!! I second what both of those two have said and i will go further and say that everything those two have said i agree with."

Whiz: "Alright, Jesus!! Explain yourself!! Why have you been in here clapping??"

Jesus: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but i was only trying to get this damn clapper light switch to work!! Darn it...the lights STILL won't come on!!! I've been clapping my hands off for 40 damn minutes!!!"
===================================

Join us next time when Mister Whizzer takes us on another outrageous romp as he explores uncharted territory and gets to the bottom of any kind of spooky goings-on.

Mister Whizzer's World is a creation of ACcountryFan and is used as a spoof of the name 'mister wizards world'.

AC would like to thank his husband, Jerry, and everyone else on the staff, for all the well-wishes and romantic cards sent to them during their extended honeymoon. Upon arriving in Mongolia, AC looked around and said: "Gee, and to think i was wanting to go to the Bahama's! Mongolia is WAY better!!".

Jerry remembered that AC was reading a cue-card for a commerical for Mongolia MasterCard and Travel.

[Prissy]

AC,

I'm glad you are still writing.   I really enjoyed "Proud Rainey" and I'm sure Lorraine did, too!

The "Mister Wizzer's World" is very clever.  I did not guess about the "clap."

I remember "Watch Mr. Wizard" being on TV when I was a child.  He was always doing experiments with children.

Here is Mr. Wizard then............................... and Mr. Wizard now.

=================================
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE ORIGINAL VERSION LIKE IN THE FIRST PICTURE YOU POSTED BUT SOMETIMES I'D CATCH THE LATER VERSIONS THAT RAN ON NICKELODEON EVERY MORNING. HERE THEY AIRED FROM 6:30am UNTIL 7am AND WAS CALLED "MISTER WIZARD'S WORLD" AND THEY did SLIP IN SOME VINTAGE CLIPS SO I SAW SOME OF THOSE AS WELL. THE SECOND PICTURE YOU POSTED OF DON IS JUST THE WAY I REMEMBER HIM.

THANKS FOR THE COMMENTARY ABOUT THE SKIT AND THE SONG

[Prissy]

AC,

You had asked me to post some of your skits here in Express Yourself.  But now I can't find them! Are you able to PM them to me?  Do you have them saved somewhere?
