Is Marcus going to jump over the stick or do the Limbo ?
Either way, it might be time to call either the chiropractor or the psychiatrist.
Mabel has them both on speed dial.

SS Thanks for the info yesterday. When my mouse hovers over a pic or link the url doesn’t come up for me. I think a long time ago X explained to me that it does come up for people with Firefox. One of these days I’m gonna get that. I think I’d like it.

His foot is up, he’s going to step on the stick to flip the shoe up in the air and catch it so he can slip it on. It’s part of his labor saving study.

Could be hormones. Marcus looks a little over-soxed.

Agreed. It looked like a sort of shoe catapult. I fear he will fall and break a hip. I hope the paramedics will be ready.

I think you mistook a comment linguist made yesterday for one that I made. ………..didn’t make………….well, any way, It’s linguist that cast aspersions on your judgement at making statues. I just got a bit timid about everyone in general making statues. I think……..Anyway Linguist ,…………Say “sorry” to Sheriff Monkeyblues* please. Then everyone make up and have a daiquiri.

I think it’s a fine idea to have the statue contest in the empty field by the farmhouse. The one that’s adjacent to the cattle. We could also have “Cow Pattie Bingo” over there. People can sculpt out of the extra patties, if they want.

You know rumors have abounded since the lighthouse light went out about 100 yrs ago one dark and stormy night, that there was the ghost of an old sailor, who perished when a ship crashed against the rocks, haunting the lighthouse. Haven’t you seen him there?

Well, I’ll be back probably Wed. Hope to see lots of wonderful statues in the field. Monkey I liked the ones you started last night. Even with the chipped nose and all. Maybe you could glue a kleenex to the end of that nose and no one would know! Just sayin’…………………………

Yep, it’s a home made shoe flipper.

Monkey, I know you know, that I was only teasing Bev. about your artwork. You know how serious she is and how flustered she can get when someone pulls her leg.
Anyway, I’ll buy you a drink at the Tiki Bar or you can stop by for a Tequila Bloody Mary, later.

Marcus isn’t testing himself, he’s testing Cordelia’s patience.

He’s just trying to make it easier to put his foot in his mouth.
