    Yes, indeed, timing is everything! Time to head home from work to start a big posting frenzy!

    Trust me: if anyone around here knows chickens, it's me. My family had a huge laying hen operation (we're talking 18,000 chickens), so I've gathered more than my fair share of eggs. As an added bonus, I worked in the local Tyson plant for 2 summers.

    My brother-in-law goes all out for Halloween. He really goes all out on decorating the house and then dresses up to hand out candy. As a result, their house is one of the cool houses.

    If you're talking about the, "Alas, poor Yorick!" speech, I've seen it performed with Hamlet holding the skull. In fact, my copy of Hamlet says that he takes the skull before beginnning the soliloquy. (I had to look up the spelling of Yorick and found out the later info as a bonus.)

    So, you don't decorate the house and don't answer the door (or manage to not be home) in order to avoid trick-or-treaters? That's my strategy these days! Being in an apartment building helps.

    You know, that idea has a lot of merit. We draft off each other (and anyone else willing to help), pad our post counts, and we both stay in the top 10. IIRC, we only have to post about 60 or 70 times in order to do it. So, what do you say, DiK? Are you in? Bell ringers, unite!

    Very punny. Trust me, though, you don't hear many "tweets" in a chicken house filled with 18,000 of those filthy creatures. It's a sound that can best be described as a constant hum or murmur.

    I'll chime in on this suggestion. Let's get ahead of BillyBreen before he gets free.

    Good plan! So, fellow bell ringer, how do you like Cynthia Dobrinski's handbell arrangements? We're doing one of her pieces for Christmas.

    a great read!

    I just finished reading one of the most amazing books: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. It's about a family that moves from Georgia to the Belgian Congo (now Zaire) in 1959 to be missionaries. The author does a great job of describing the family's adaptation (or lack thereof) to their environment. I also learned a lot about African history and culture. Great, great book.

    Shakespeare quiz, does anyone know who Yorick was? No cheating, enter your guess before you go read the play.

    Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him Horatio.

    I flew away from the internet for a while - but it sounds like you are trying to egg me into a pun contest.
