Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling

Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling The Legend of Louis Maltby The squeak of New Balances against allway floors. The intriguing scent of English muffins, raspberry jelly and Clearasil. Who is this mysterious specimen? He seems fresh and vital, yet also ancient and wise. A timeless warrior on spaceship Earth. All eyes follow him as he moves toward his locker. His presence here seems a mere fluke of circumstances. Is there any realm to which his soul belongs? The carelessly combed hair. The broken zipper on his backpack held together with a paper clip. All want to know him, but none truly can. Hangers-on try to engage him in trivial conversation, but are greeted only with a knowing smirk. His enigmatic expression says nothing, yet all. Boy #1: Yeah, "I got rabies for learnin'!" Boy #2: "Yo, we're the #2 hip-hop learnin' show on TV!" Boy #1: Louis, man, what's up? Why are you squinting like that? Boy #2: Yeah, you're like a statue! Boy #1: Dude, you look constipated! Louis: SHUT UP, LOSERS! And the Legend Continues...

Louis: Greg, what's going on? Greg: Nothing. Enzio took my DS Lite and won't give it back. Enzio: Beat it, Maltby. Greg: Look, Enzio, just give it back! Give it back! WHAT WOULD DAVID WRIGHT DO?

Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling DID YOU KNOW? This week -- The FIRST THANKSGIVING Yes, that 1621 festive respite from STARVATION and DISEASE is a cornucopia of FUN FACTS and TANTALIZING TRIVIA! Biologists believe that this is EXACTLY what the North American turkey looked like in the 1600s. The historic QUESTION asked of the Wampanoags when they arrived for the feast has become a mandatory American ritual to this day. Pilgrim: How was traffic? Native American: Not bad. We took the Bear Trails to avoid the marsh... It is believed that William Jameson was the first relative to try to engage a child in conversation by asking what grade he's in. William: Third grade! Wow! That's great. Okay, run along. After the meal, all males were inexplicably drawn to gather around a wooden crate. Pilgrim #1: Would only that images of lion-emblazoned athletes would appear in this box! Pilgrims #2: Aye! Native American: That would be perfect! Pilgrims called the trusting and helpful Native Americans who taught them to survive "the Good Indians." Later settlers would have a very good definition of the only kind of "good Indian."

Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling Boca Raton Barbara at the Oklahoma Roundup Set yerself down and I'll tell you about a rodeo back in the old west. The toughest cowboys gathered to compete, and when the dust settled, the two BEST were deadlocked in a TIE. Haney Jackson: A half-cocked reporter from Colorado, tough as cactus. Boca Raton Barbara: A lady from the east, but one mean cowpuncher. What a ruckus over how to break the tie -- they were dead even in ropin' and ridin'. Then Barb made her challenge. Barbara: How about one more event - the RESTAURANT-WALK RACE Harvey knew had to accept. Here's how it worked. Barb and Haney start at equal distances from a mock-up storefront of Michael's, the only restaurant west of the Mississippi that served Cobb salads. When the start gun sounds, it's a race to the door to give their name to the hostess...and get a better spot on line for a table. BLAM Need ICE in yer veins, I tell ya! See, you CAN'T RUN -- just a brisk walk - and ya gotta pretend to be OBLIVIOUS to yer OPPONENT. Haney's got longer legs, but Barbara's got the moxie. They're about to collide, and Barb keeps pumpin' her legs, but Haney breaks down at the last second and LOOKS at her! DISQUALIFIED! That's right -- the Okalhoma Roundup was lost on the flick of an eyeball. And the victor was declared -- Boca Raton Barabara! Barbara: Marble cake and decaf ON ME!
