Aloha,
Hosted again by Mark Koopmans, Morgan Shamy, David Powers King, Stephen Tremp and The Ninja Captain himself, it’s time for CheersFest
2.0 :)
This year’s recipient is Arlee “Lee” Bird.
In order to proper cheer (or roast) Lee, we suggested four
questions to answer today, and all should be no longer than 20 words each:
“Let’s DO this!” (he said, in a deep Austrian voice)
·
Why did Lee come up with the A-Z
Challenge?
I think Lee knew that five existing
blogs wasn’t enough, and hey, this one should be easy to do.
·
If
someone dreams about being a juggler, what does it mean?
It means earning enough money so Lee
can buy a sexy ‘70s suede jacket (see below :)
·
Is
a post by Mr. Bird worth two in the bush?
Any post by Lee is always worth
reading (aaahhhh:), so I’ll go search for the ones in the bush, too… unless I find
there’s bugs… or the missing DVD of A-CAV playing some Rush riffs on
his Gibson!
·
Who
could play Lee in a documentary?
(Living or dead.)
Looking at this picture, I would go
with Peter Falk (Columbo) or a young Kirk Douglas, who starred in the 1953
movie, The Juggler.

###The Interview and the Inventory
The Juggler entered the cluttered office and shook hands
with the editor.
“Mr. Bird. Too early to call you Arlee?” said his prospective
boss, who leaned back in his chair, with an appearance that gave unshaven and
unkempt a bad name.
“I prefer Lee, if that’s OK,” he said, removing his beloved
brown suede jacket. He laid it gently over a chair and used his suede travel
brush to comb out six stray hairs.
“Leigh? Isn’t that a girl’s name, son? I know a writer
called Leigh… or is it Abby? I can never tell.”
“L-E-E.”
“You a fan of Lee Majors, son? I loved me that Six Million
Dollar Man. It was so realistic.”
Lee realized this was a challenge.
“Mr. Cavanaugh, why is there a wooden picture of a ninja
guitar player on your desk?”
“Son, you got insecurities? You need to be tossing them out
if you’re working for the Idaho Hoe
Reporter.”
Lee made some chirping noises and pulled a darkened cell
phone from his pocket.
“Sorry, Mr. Cavanaugh, but I’ll have to pass. There’s a
dragon friend of mine who’s taking some time off, and we're going to go roast some of those really small marshmallows in Lucky Charms. I know farming
equipment is important, so thanks, and I’m sorry I won’t have the chance to inventory your
town’s hoes.”
###
For Bonus Points:
·
In +/- 40 words, can you come up with a caption for
Lee’s Facebook picture?
“Kids, don’t try this at home! It
takes years of practice and a Tom Selleck moustache to be able to wear a sweet
suede jacket such as mine.”
###
Thanks to everyone who participated and Lee is scheduled to
announce the two prize winners next Monday.
