I'm Enchanted with David

OK OK - as proof of rating increase I've just joined :-) XX

Do you have those Frangi-Pangie trees there? I keep thinking of Angi as Angie-Pangie... even if you don't, its a beautiful flower - thank you Angie :-) - now back to business, I'm all for David running through the streets of Orlando sans tie?

See....it's already goin' viral....We may need liaison's to the Dark Wall / DKULT / Erni Bar Krowds. This isn't about me, after all. This is about the a) Sanctity of Life, b) Freedom to Worship our own False Gods, c) Filling the gaps in my 401K d) World Peace for All Mankind and Womens too, d) Taking it to the Man, e) Helping my therapist regain her self-esteem....and so much more....

I'm still going for sans tie.

I think David Stafford is the most sensitive mail artist because:

1. he cares about hungry Irish people

2. he says he is and I have no reason to doubt him

3. he helped  a little old lady across the  street the other day. She was carrying a large bag of potatoes, which made her stockings sag and her knees ache. Actually he didn't, but I know if he were here, he would have.

4. only sensitive guys get women 'enchanted' and 'besotted' with them.

5. David cares about his therapist's feelings

6. David means "sensitive mail artist" in aramdruvic

7. David rescues abandoned kittens and gives them to the poor

So, do I win anything?

Normally of course I never do this but....LOL....(not the little old lady one) (though my mum turned 96 on Sunday so there is that)

Before anyone else submits something as extensive as Diane did, I am voting for her submission even over any I myself might have come up with in the next 2 to 427 hours. It can't be beat.

If I am lucky enough to win, there is no question that I would choose the "private facebook message with real intimate details about David's private life", although I think his admission of his aversion to LOL is a definate start. I REALLY need this prize!!

I have Davids theory on chaos. Its too dark to snap and the flashbulb will startle the ox. And David may go flying again.  In any event its a winner, and if you can all hold on until the sun leaves you and travels here, I'll show you tomorrow - thank you David - such GENTLE chaos :-)XX

Hi KDJ and the rest of the gang here, posted David's great work DAVE ARTSPACE!

Cheryl, I'm so glad Rusty made it...I was worried about him on that flimsy foam core...

This is a David ...though no name anywhere...but his red square rubber stamp. He is away vacationing for a few weeks? Beautiful BLUE print! Basketball?

No, no, that's the sun he's reaching for....And on the cliff...his mom praising his decision to wear clean underwear for his fateful journey. We're in Paris. Meeting with Dean tonight for coffee. Hello to all IUOMAers....

Here's the blog, David....'knew it was yours from the red square rubber stamp :-)

GOTIJ! BlogJam: Monday Mail Art in Greece!

Has David met Dean in Paris?

Tomorrow is party time :-)

Happy Birthday to David!

He is traveling, so who knows when he'll get to a computer to see his PARTY!

Greetings from Greece, David...let's dance...OPA!

Thanks everyone...we're in Brugge today which I probably could have skipped but Patti wanted to see it. Heading home in a few days..And yes, we did meet up with Dean in Paris. He and his wife very graciously met us and led us on a secret agent tour of the Ministry of Finance. More on that later as well...Bon jour to all my IUOMA friends. 

Dear all, a blog today honors more of the essence of David Stafford: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/mr-twig-and-his-big-st...

KDJ, The Smithsonian called and they're interested in the archives but only if it comes with a Dave Diorama...Can you work something up? You should know they have strict guidelines as in 1) there must be a painting of Daves grazing in the background, 2) sex acts may be inferred as long as they take place behind a rock outcropping, and probably the most difficult: 3) the figure must appear to be semi-content. Kick around that wacky brain of yours and let me know. I have to have the power point presentation ready by August 8th.

I'll see what I can do but you know how bureaucracies are. Someone needs to develop a backlog app. I think I'll do that this afternoon.

I think it was Omar Khayyam who said: "A jug of wine, a bubble cut and thou beside me...."

The things you learn around here....fascinatin'

That one's such a *golden* haloed girl that you swoon over the aura and forget the bouffant.

How could you, KDJ--now we've all missed it. And such a worthy cause!

David wears many hats-or is it Happs?

I know Angie-I wondered the same thing. It would seem unlike David to leave something out unintentionally. I hope there is more to the spleen=shaped rock story-I will never view an oblong rock the same way again

Any  of you literary brainiacs know what  a literary reduction is? My son needs to do one and the instructions are about as easy to understand as assemble it yourself furniture.  some kind of free form, stream of consciousness synopsis spreadsheet-only completely not???

Yah, a literary reduction is losing weight while reading Chaucer. (Honest, if i remembered i'd tell you!)

Spleen-shaped rocks will keep me up tonight.

I've had fig reductions but not Chaucerian reductions. EB White once reduced a Hemingway novel to a single word: Bang. And someone else (anonymous) reduced Dave Barry's oeuvre to Booger. Who's getting reduced, Diane? Maybe I can lend a hand though I am a bit drunk at the moment. This will pass.

He has to reduce Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. I think some of these English teachers are more interested in bending students to their will than actually instilling a love of literature.  I don't drink, but I probably should. I love the way you are caressing that spleen shaped rock in the photo-

"As he led a reporter across the pile..."  I MUST know how this story ends David

I should have my son do a reduction of your story-would be much more entertaining

"Yo Morrie"

"Yo Mitch"

"It's Tuesday!"

"Yep, it's Tuesday, alright."

"Tomorrow is Wednesday."

"That's what they tell me."

"Morrie, good talkin' with ya."

"Same here, Mitch. Catch you next week."

LoL--except he won't, as Morrie dies of ALS:)

Hmmm, then shouldn't it be called "Tuesday with Morrie"?

You have a great point David, unless he continues to talk with him on Tuesdays after death through a medium

"Hey Morrie, How goes it up there?"

"It's cool, Mitch. But you don't get harps. You get accordions."

Okay, okay....I'll give you rest of the article this weekend.

Trying desperately to figure out the possible ending--David, please start drinking and finish the story for us!

will do....

Hey is right. You two are in mental telepathy land. And I'm not far off, apparently.

Give the guy a break. Maybe he had a long weekend, you know? It's only Tuesday night. Wait till Thursday before turning on the really big pressure.

Additional explanation:  some years, a long weekend can last 5 days.

The Lost Weekend starring Ray David Milland.

Oh now, Nadine, you're being naughty and twisted, aren't you? Unless Wiki lies, Ray Milland was born Alfred Reginald Jones. Except for the V in David's name, Milland's real name holds within it the name "Da_id," but I don't know.

However:    The Lost Weekend -- bong, we have a winner.

sorry, gals, it was a long weekend but not lost...today was....well, bad...I cut a customer's head off which they will tell you in business school is...bad business...tomorrow is another day....

Love it, KDJ...thanks for filling in. Now back to bed...

That'll do it, KDJ--excellent, I'm laughing, thanks for that. I hope David doesn't feel left in the dust, but he's still excellent too, so ...

!!!
