The Show Name Game

By Marcia Studley

 

 WELCOME TO SANTA ROSA COUNTY where we don't believe in MESSIN' AROUND. Get yourself a DINNER DATE and make yourself RIGHT AT HOME. Our policy is to be polite, courteous and HONEST with our visitors. Let us know if our RULES OF ORDER seem unfair, but we think you'll find them best. Kick back, watch THE GAME, and QUICKER THAN THE EYE can see, you'll be thrilled with action. Please note though, we're not FOOLS and fully realize that it's not winning, but IT'S HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME which really matters. If you have a PROBLEM with that, let's discuss it and come to a clear UNDERSTANDING. By the way, ONE OF THESE DAYS, THE STEWARDESS who has a GREEN THUMB (she can make my plants grow anyday) will be coming by with AN ENGLISH VISITOR. He's in SHOW BIZ, with a real PUBLICITY HOUND of an agent, and does nothing but GOSSIP and think about when he's ON CAMERA and how to look and sound his best. Personally, I think he's a real ALLEY CAT and belongs in one, but no KIDDING, WOMEN! think he is wonderful. I wish my SCHOOL DAYS were over, especially after that WEIRD WEDNESDAY last week when nothing went right. Honestly, it must be THAT TIME OF WHERE when folks get struck by an INSANITY EPIDEMIC, which I suppose is better than actually being sick with a VIRUS, or can you imagine coming down with BOTULISM, or maybe even being the victim of a SNAKEBITE? Sigh ... the worst is yet to come with THE EXAM next month. Unfortunately, because of the amount of PAPERWORK I have to do for the test, and my visitors, I'll have to forego THE BASH, but I have a NAGGING SUSPICION that CAPTAIN HOOK will tell me more than I ever wanted to know about it. Poor Hook, he's such a HYPOCONDRIAC CAP, a real NUISANCE sometimes. He should say he's NOT AVAILABLE and have a BACKUP ready when he's feeling poorly. We have to watch our INVOLVEMENT, though, and use AN INDIRECT METHOD rather than telling him what we really think, because, after all, he is our captain. We are GRATEFUL for him, though. Did we mention he owns THE BOAT we use every weekend? You guessed it... that's THE BOTTOM LINE for us so we'll endure it all! Here in Santa Rosa, we don't like LOOSE ENDS so be sure you have re-registered for the upcoming ELECTION. Some folks have a HANG UP over voting, but we're diligent about it here, so please remember your PROMISE and re-register. I see the KIDS are here with their assigned DRIVERS, and there is Helen. She's a police officer (Maggie calls her a FUZZ LADY). Helen's father just died and left her a fortune, but you should see the INHERITANCE TAX on the money. THE PROFESSOR at the university helped her to dig through all the IRS information. Did I mention Helen suffers from INSOMNIA? Well, she does, and she's THE CAMERA BUG of our town, so dress your best at all times. Watch out for a BRUSHFIRE in the hills. When they start, they can be a real INFERNO.
