DESPERATELY SEEKING THE BUMPUS HOUNDS

.
Several weeks back, during the Christmas season, my brother Napoleon mentioned how I had once made a reference in a Blog Bit to the Bumpus Hounds from the movie 'A Christmas Story.' He remembered that he had found the reference humorous and asked me where it was. I too recalled making a remark about those famous dogs but I couldn't recall in which Blog Bit I'd placed it.

So, I did a Google search hoping to find it for Nappy but my search was unsuccessful. Well, for some completely inexplicable reason, I woke up this morning with a mind determined to find that Bumpus Hounds reference. I went to Google again, did an 'Advanced Search' and found it quicker than you can say "Uhp! Yer an idiot!"

Naturally, I read the entire post which, as it turned out, was written just before Thanksgiving in 2008. I then read the next Blog Bit as well, and thought to myself: Hey, you! Those weren't too bad. Kinda funny in a sick, disturbed, twisted, tongue-in-cheek, Black Comedy sort of way.

I noticed that these two posts seemed to have gone pretty unnoticed (notice how I've used the word "notice" four times in this one sentence? Think you can do that?) Then I checked and noticed that I hadn't included either of these two Blog Bits in my year-end "STUFFS' Greatest Hits" compilation page. So, I've decided to post links to them here; a little look back at some overlooked stuffs that looked like they were worth another look (that's the word "look" five - count 'em, 5 - times in one sentence! Looks like I'm improving.)

So, anyway, here are links to a couple of old installments that some of ya newer readers might enjoy. What sick, disturbed, twisted, tongue-in-cheek, Black Comedy-lovin' Tiny Tim fan wouldn't?

  1. I have to admit, the Nabisco letter is priceless! So are the "Dorian" comments and replies! Your take on yourself reminds me of a blogging friend from India-"Rumuser". Hmm, another drinker! lol

  2. Ahhh! Judy, thank you so much! I'm really glad to know you enjoyed it. I sometimes wonder if I'm really just writing for an audience of one wacko. Namely, "Me."

    I'll confess that I tend to overplay that whole "boozing" angle. But you know how it is - when a person finds a shtick that works for them, they shtick with it.

    But there's another version of me out there in Blogland? Oh, pity the world! "Rumuser", eh? Hmmm... Sounds like a gin drinker. If you'll post a link or address to his Blog I'll check it out.

    And thanks again for your kind comment!

  3. Here's Ramana's address. He's from India, and just like you, as far as I know, he doesn't drink either. I gave your blog site a mention on my post today, hope you don't mind!

    You hope I don't mind? Are you kidding? Dang! That's an A-List Compliment. Thanks so much! (I left a comment on your Blog - hope it goes through.)

    I have only one minor complaint: WHERE'S Ramana's address? What is this? Did you post Ramana's address in the same sort of way that Ramana and I don't drink?

  6. Thanks, Judy!
    I checked out Ramana's Blog, and I can definitely see how you made that mental connection. I do indeed see some similar personality traits between Ramana and myself. He seems to be quite a bit like me. I don't like him.
    ;o)

    THANKS!
