: We all know the Gathering prompted some great visual moments, but did you know it also spawned its own famous quotations? Just a few I jotted down...
: First of all, of course, there was the phrase coined by me, The Red-Haired Lass, which preceded my arrival in Chimney Rock and was recited to me by folks I hadn’t even met yet: “I’ll give you mooooooooo-nnnnneeeeyyyy...” Good for wheedling favors out of folks, but not good enough to get the recipe for Ping.
: “They’re probably blowin’ the shut-up horn!” Miss MMMMarcia, on Sunday night, when we heard a car horn blaring in the parking lot shortly after we all had shut down the tiki bar out back
: “What in the name of the Wee Manny?” A Scots turn of phrase, uttered in surprise by Miss Katie
: “Do al ittle drugs, drink a little liquor and one morning you wake up dead...” Miss MMMarcia, commenting on what happens if you lead a sordid life on the frontier
: “Wake up naked and ready to kill.” Quoted by me, the Red-Haired Lass. Actually, this was my mistaken interpretation of a phrase I heard uttered out at the tiki bar. It was later agree d by the crowd gathered there that this should be the official motto for Bumppo’s Tavern.
Oh Red, I'll have you know my ex-spousal unit lived by a combination of the last two phrases, something like..."Do a LOT of drugs, drink a LOT of liquor, and wake-up every morning naked and ready to kill!" The genetic receipe that is ME could not live under that yoke...So I coined my own phrase..."Here's to you and here's to me and if by chance we disagree, the hell with you and here's to ME!"
Too funny Red - I love 'em!
