Ed trying to stir the cauldr...er, the pot?
I hate to touch this with a 36.5' pole, but are you sure it wasn't "Swap Wench..."?
(now...where's that "UNDO" button?)
:shock:ALL YEAR???ALL YEAR??? It's only the 6th day of the year!!!
Man, oh man! If'n my broom weren't being re strung ... you'd be in BIG trouble!!:roll:

You can't REALLY expect me to be good ALL week, can you? Sheesh, you must have your crystal ball our being tuned and detailed too. (BTW, beware of those highly-strung brooms and stick with a sturdy, traditional model like a Scottish besom. Ling heather makes for a smoother ride, or so I'm told.)
As for being in big trouble, I'm quite used to that, thank you.
(Why is there a toad hopping around in my cubical?...)

Now remember, ED, she has the help of all of her subjects,,ah, I mean freinds.!! Did I do that right Your highness??? I been really good...
Becareful EdD. You don't want to mess with Betty, her boy's might not like that.:p
Betty,
What! It's the 6th? Already? No way! Geesh, where did the year go? I haven't even filed my taxes yet!! ( I usually have by now - if you can believe it!) Enjoy the rest of the year - what's left of it anyway!
Best regards, Dave S.

I think I'm going to sit out of the line of fire with a cup of hot chocolate and watch this unfold. Good luck gents and as always, Best Regards....
Joel,
Want me to pass ya some mini-marshmallers to go in your hot chocolate? I brought the La-z-boy for this one. Someone pass the popcorn.
REE
Okay...
For this dumb California Boy..
What the heck is a 'Swamp Witch'??????
My parents were both from the south, Alabama and Texas, never heard of such a thing....
Unless the spelling is different..my uncle often spoke about a 'sum *itch'..is that the same thing?
Buddy
Buddy, a swamp witch is a witch who lives in a swamp. My childhood was rife with spooky tails of swamp witches.
Joel, I noticed that you posted "good luck gents". Did you leave out Miss Betty on purpose, or...?
Betty, thanks for the apple. It shore was pretty. Pity that my team leader grabbed it for his lunch.
Why are there TWO toads hopping around in my cubical?
Regards,
Ed
REE,
Got the lay-z-boy set up also. Do I need to find the remote for this? Can we get this thread in Hi Def? Will there be gratuitous use of emoticons?
Best regards, Dave S.
Ed, you sly dog you! This is absolutely brilliant. You are getting Betty to deal with your undesirable co-workers and it isn't costing you a thing. As long as you make sure the toads are released alive( near a nest of garter snakes maybe?) I don't think you are even violating any laws.
Didja think the toads may be coworkers who have roamed past your office just as I was releasing a "jolt" aimed at you??
Okay folks here is ma's song. Swamp Witch by Jim Stafford. Turn on your audio:

L.o.L.
You would have to post that, cause it got me to click onto Mountain Rhythm - Dueling Banjos , yep, good music
Larry ---sagefisher---
Okay,
Thanks....
But the name of the Swamp Witch in the song was 'Hattie', not Betty. Was Betty the original?
Is Hattie one of Betty's kids?
If there really are 'swamp witches' rather than just one Swamp Witch, are they ALL Betty's kin?
Buddy
Buddy ... was that "Hottie" or "Hattie"????
Something tells me when this is all over, I'll have a toad for the vice president of the CCU. lol
Dear Royal,
The modifications to your broom have been finished, however with the addition of the turbo your fuel economy has gone down. But on the good side! The zip gun works great!!
Please remember to fasten your seat belt and enjoy the modifications! :mrgreen:
Yiiiieeeeeeee Haaaaawwwwwww!!!!!
The only flaw I can see here is the lack of actual swamps here in N.E. Kansas. Of course she does seem to be enjoying the new broom an awful lot. Is there a subculture of prairie witches?
On my broom again!!
Just can't wait to get on my broom again!
The life I love is tying hexes with my friends!
And I can't wait to get on my broom again!
<with sincere apologies to Willie Nelson>
good thing you apologized to willie. for sure there'd have been a "HEX" on your broom from the great man.
Oh this thread is great entertainment for a cold snowy weekend! When I saw the Jim Stafford reference I thought of two things: Wildwood Weed, and Dr Hook's Marie Laveaux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtdQiOPRDfA
But if this thread continues I'll have to overnight a shipment and sheesha and charcoal to keep the hookah from going out as I sit back and watch like the rest.
Since Ed has let the black cat out of the bag I have been authorized by my contacts in the department of homeland security to tell you a bit more. During all those years in Washington Betty was working for the CIA on the American Sorcerers Squad (There is an official acronym for this group but this board won't let me print it.) Her last major assignment was cursing Saddam Hussein. She is widely held to be responsible for his perpetual diaper rash. Her love philtres were also very popular among those in the know in Washington.
I just hope during this time of important playoff games in the NFL, EdD did not distract an important member of the KC Chiefs from fulfilling the role of causing fumbles, QB sacks and interceptions this afternoon when the Baltimore criminals (better known as Ravens) came to town. This was the only one of the playoff games that was not very close and the Chiefs looked like they were missing a key member of the team.
Looks like Uncle Jesse is on to your scheme Ed. Tell the truth now, how much did you have bet on the Ravens?
I always wished I could sing. Now I wish Betty could.
<duckin' and runnin"!>
Hey Betty.
That broom will come in handy getting around on these roads today.
If the weatherman said we were only going to see 13" of snow this year, we are half way there. Looks like I will have time to tie my snow flies for my club swap. It's nice working for a college this time of the year, when they close for snow I get to stay home (Yeah). Let it snow, Let it snow!!!:D
