Dave Barry's Blog: CRIME IN NEWCASTLE

First? Looks like a hairless hobbit. And "strangely enthusiastic" is a perfect WBAGNFARB.

"There'll always be an England."

What's a little harmless chase around the moor?

Posted by: mm | October 28, 2007 at 11:29 AM

Dave....is that you?

Posted by: Jazzzz | October 28, 2007 at 11:30 AM

That's a jarring early morning gob-smacking for us folks slowly waking up. No mention of the obvious...was alcohol involved? Off to put some brain bleach in the coffee.

Posted by: WayneHere | October 28, 2007 at 11:36 AM

No, can't be Dave. No rim around the collar.

Posted by: mm | October 28, 2007 at 11:36 AM

you're right mm.....no blue shirt either

Posted by: Jazzzz | October 28, 2007 at 11:40 AM

OT--Did everyone's Windows PC decide last night was the return to Standard time and pack up your clock one hour? It's now the first week of November. Supporting article so you know it's not a WaynePrank. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21490034/ . --Back OT

Posted by: WayneHere | October 28, 2007 at 11:44 AM

...or BACK up your clock. What. ME, preview??

Posted by: WayneHere | October 28, 2007 at 11:45 AM

no prob here in Arkansas WahneHere... Of course, we don't use your so called "time" here.

Posted by: Jazzzz | October 28, 2007 at 11:50 AM

or "Y's" either

Posted by: Jazzzz | October 28, 2007 at 11:53 AM

oop's....busted....bai now.

Posted by: Jazzzz | October 28, 2007 at 11:54 AM

I generally don't believe in this "time" thing, either. Haven't worn a watch for 25 years or so. But it made me think the Eagles were running even more pregame shows than usual.

Posted by: WayneHere | October 28, 2007 at 12:00 PM

What was he treated for at hospital?

Posted by: Kathybear | October 28, 2007 at 12:43 PM

Kathybear - Severe shrinkage.

It's cold on the Moors.

Posted by: The Great Punkin! | October 28, 2007 at 12:49 PM

In birder terms, it's a rare flabby-gasted bald sasquatch.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 28, 2007 at 12:59 PM

“Then this naked man just turned up. It wasn’t very warm and he was being strangely enthusiastic."

I just LOLerd.

Posted by: casey | October 28, 2007 at 01:01 PM

perhaps he's Wiccan and just started celebrating New Year's eve a bit early.

BTW did anyone but me think that "strangely enthusiastic" showed in the picture? Her certainly appears to be having a good joke on everyone.

Posted by: mm | October 28, 2007 at 01:10 PM

hey, beautiful casey. how youse doin'? ;-)

Posted by: Jazzzz | October 28, 2007 at 01:13 PM

Nah, he is a rugby fan displaying his alcohol enhanced enthusiasm for the world cup finals.

Posted by: Meditrina | October 28, 2007 at 01:15 PM

He, He appears.... her can't type...

Posted by: mm | October 28, 2007 at 01:17 PM

My computer and TVs stayed on the right time, but by ~~super cheap~~ economical VCRs turned back an hour. But I read an article that said just to leave it because in - what? - 2 weeks, it will be OK.

*winks at Jazzzz*

Posted by: Eleanor | October 28, 2007 at 01:17 PM

Jazzie, just fine as a fiddle you handsome hunka man meat!

Posted by: casey | October 28, 2007 at 01:20 PM

Looks like a hairless hobbit.

Posted by: WayneHere | 11:28 AM on October 28, 2007

****************

WH, I read that as "hairless bobbit" and thought that was strangely appropriate.

Posted by: casey | October 28, 2007 at 01:21 PM

*waves sullenly at jazz*

Posted by: chopped liver | October 28, 2007 at 01:24 PM

I just thought "strangely enthusiastic" meant he wasn't too...um...excited (iykwim). Which, as Punkin said, makes sense due to the coldness.

Posted by: Siouxie | October 28, 2007 at 01:26 PM

Annie, I wasn't aware you came equipped with man meat. My bad.

Posted by: casey | October 28, 2007 at 01:30 PM

Annie eats ~~man~~ meat???

hu nu?

Posted by: Siouxie | October 28, 2007 at 01:33 PM

'chopped liver' refers to an action, not a dish.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 28, 2007 at 01:38 PM

har de har, Sioux.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 28, 2007 at 01:38 PM

I'm just happy we didn't get the front view.

Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | October 28, 2007 at 01:46 PM

Amen, Jeff. Amen.

OT for a moment. I am apalled that none of us - NONE of us - thought to make sure that Dave's costume included a NEW, UNUSED toilet seat. We're slipping.

Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 01:51 PM

Less is moor.

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 28, 2007 at 02:14 PM

DD - for all the times Dave made us retch........let him have the used seat. I hope it was used by an aging, poor-visioned Barry Manilow.

Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 28, 2007 at 02:15 PM

Oooh! Tushy', MtB!!

Posted by: Punkin Poo | October 28, 2007 at 02:16 PM

ROFLMAO, Punkin Boo!

Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 02:17 PM

How do they treat "nudity" at hospital?

Gently, one might hope.

Posted by: Thee Great Pumpkin (not Punkin') | October 28, 2007 at 02:24 PM

"being strangely enthusiastic" was the best line of the article I thought.

and *snork* at Meanie's "Less is moor."

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 02:25 PM

*cues benny hill 'wacky sax' chase music*

and "wacky sacks" were in evidence,too...

that was strange. sorry for the double post. my computer seems to be workin' in two time zones.

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 02:31 PM

Whut?

Posted by: O the U(manity) | October 28, 2007 at 02:32 PM

to hell with yackety sax, the doo doo, doo doo from Twilight Zone seems more ~~appro~~ gooder.

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 02:33 PM

Wow, Wyo, just visited your site, I had no idea there were so many blogger pix up now! Good job, it's so sweet of you to do that.

Posted by: casey | October 28, 2007 at 02:40 PM

I think, casey, that at last count there were 44 different bloggers there. kinda cool. and you folks put 1000 hits/day on the costume site. but who's counting?

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 02:43 PM

Wow, Wyo! There must be way more blurkers out here than we realized!

Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 03:04 PM

I love a good chase scene!

Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 03:06 PM

Jazzzz - this would be the superlow-speed chase scene.

Posted by: mm | October 28, 2007 at 03:22 PM

44! Wow I suppose that's like everyone here, except me...

Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 28, 2007 at 03:37 PM

When the cops got tired he turned around and chased them? Sefinitely a candidate for the happy farm, with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who twiddle their thumbs and toes...

Posted by: JEC666 | October 28, 2007 at 03:38 PM

Yes Less is Moor. Truly a classic line.

Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 28, 2007 at 03:58 PM

Chargers Time!

Posted by: Eleanor | October 28, 2007 at 04:01 PM

Go Jags!

Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 04:09 PM

Sorry, Diva, Dem's da breaks. (Da bear facts, as it were.)

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 04:09 PM

Re: The Eagles. A pre-game show before they do "Hotel California"?

Oh, that type of football. So who is the goalkeeper?

Go Manchester!

Posted by: Pirateboy | October 28, 2007 at 04:30 PM

Are all the bloggers active, Wyo?

Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 28, 2007 at 04:31 PM

all but two I think, Edgar. some have been a little rare of late, and a couple are blurking lately. There are only two that I've not heard from for some time.

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 04:59 PM

Eleanor's Chargers are beating the crap out of my beloved Texans. Here's to another 3 win season, the 2nd pick in the draft, and selecting another unknown defensive lineman for the 5th straight season. *sigh*

Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 05:04 PM

Strangely Enthusiastic WBAGNFARB.

Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 28, 2007 at 05:08 PM

The Witch Fire lit one under the Chargers.

I worry about those Texan linemen, in another year or so. Still, time to go offense.

Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 05:17 PM

Chargers, beginning of 3rd quarter:

So far, so good. :)

Posted by: Eleanor | October 28, 2007 at 05:47 PM

They're doing it for the home crowd. Some of whom no longer have a home. :(
Doc Rick must've realized there's no bigger turn-on than a humble man.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 28, 2007 at 06:04 PM

how 'bout them bucs?!!!
