Lola Nova of Whatever Lola Wants comments and submits:
You know as much as the length, girth and knobs concern meor are you just happy to see me?
what is worse, is that there seems to be fingers on the end of it.
Score:
- Long John: 1 point
- Interesting stacked rock that I may have considered by I cannot take my eyes off of John's gift: 0 points
- Jangling dangling thing (no not that, the other one): 1 point
Creativity Bonus
Johnny has never understood why he earned his nickname. He does his job. He feeds the birds and greets the guest. Really he is not that tall... it puzzles him: 4 points
Total: 6 points
Manatee would prefer that Long John not like his job quite that much. She is also quite concerned about the prehensile pen*s.


He looks a lot like a guy I dated in college. I mean, minus the whole third leg creepy thing, and of course being a tree and holding bird feeders thing.
ReplyDeleteSomeone should introduce Long John to Tina the mailbox. That's a match made in heaven!
ReplyDeleteLaura, ah so basically he was a smoker.
ReplyDeleteShannon, and what is handy, is that John could open the mailbox...visually, don't go there. It is a dark place.
Too late, I already went there.... do you have any brain bleach?
ReplyDeleteSpeechless.
ReplyDeleteLIpstick AND a cigar too....and him with Tina, yikes, I'm still not over that mailbox,and now its even worse with the visual that you guys have implanted in my brain of them together.....EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWYUCKKKKKKKKKK
ReplyDeleteI'm scarred for life I'm sure!!!
Just grabbed your widget & added it to the top of my page!
ReplyDeleteShannon, sorry about that but you planted the seed.
ReplyDeleteMorning Glory, I like to get the blood flowing in the morning
Jester, I know and it is really Shannon's fault. I hope you get over your scarring.
Thanks for grabbing the widget!!!
Brain bleach, something to add to the Amazon store. The gnarlyness, bright red lips, big eyelashes, cigar and Mailbox Tina... and I would gladly buy some.

ReplyDeletedoes the 3rd leg shrink in the winter?
ReplyDeleteoops i thought my first comment didn't go thru so i left it again, then i deleted the 1st comment as to not junk up your page, but now it just looks like i said something weird and tried to delete my comment.
ReplyDeleteTufa Girl, in one way, yes brain bleach would be the answer but in another... this could make a great movie. It is love story of the ages, John who has too much to give and Tina who can not find a man to fill her emptiness.
ReplyDeleteSymbolically speaking of course.
diane, we can only hope. I could have deleted your deleted comment but since you commented on the deleted-ness, I have to leave it.
This game is not about the photos, its about how far one's mind can take the picturesque speech.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that John walks around at night, and on one of these nights, he found someone special waiting beside the road. Now he can't stop smiling...
ReplyDeleteTufa Girl, I don't know what you mean....
ReplyDeleteredgirl, He sure is smiling. I wonder if he has to use a sling to walk.
truly the stuff of nightmares...
ReplyDeleteokay there was no way you couldn't possibly score that. That's fabulous. and you know, whatever Lola wants....
ReplyDeletePlantaliscious. we seem to get a lot of that around here.
ReplyDeleteMarguerite, you are right I had to score him but still I must go through the process.
This scarecrow seems to have been photographed at close range in a back-garden. Did Lola Nova omit to tell us that it is her own creation ?
ReplyDeleteb-a-g, John is a scarecrow? What is he doing, taunting them with snacks and then giving them heart attacks?
ReplyDeleteLola Nova, I hope you didn't let Pony Girl see that, uh, creature!!
ReplyDeleteHe would be perfect for Trashy Tina; it looks like he even has 3 arms to put around her while he, uh, visits, and he can get the mail at the same time.
Of course one must have a prehensile tip to retrieve the mail during a visit with Tina!
ReplyDeleteMom L, its is not his hand that worry me, although it would be convenient.
ReplyDeleteeventer79, LOL prehensile tip... somethings should not have dexterity.
Good gravy! You lot sure do let your imaginations run wild! Amazingly, John is in pride of place in a front yard very close to the road. I did park and get out to get closer so that you all could enjoy his uh...presence!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing! I don't know what's better...the photo of John or the ensuing comments! You've got me hooked!!
ReplyDeleteLola Nova, you got out of the car, that almost gets you into Golden Ball territory. We are amused by his presence, I am not sure that ALL are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteKimberly, glad you are hooked. Come on in, the water is fine. (as long as the water is clear, can't have John coming in with us in murky water)
I find it really disturbing that I love this post. And I kind of like John.
ReplyDeleteHolleyGarden, It's OK you are among friend and we understand.
ReplyDeleteAlmost got the golden ball? Lola got out of the car and got close to take the photo. John could have reached out and grabbed her with an arm or something...
ReplyDeleteNow that is very interesting wood. I mean piece of wood. I mean, well, I'll just stop at that.
ReplyDeleteI definitely fear for Lola Nova if she's getting out of the car to get that close to something - creepy - like John! I really thought I saw 3 arms AND 3, uh, legs, or is the 3rd arm just a scarf? He is a snazzy dude, after all.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I think you're just trying to get attention with multiple posts! Good work, girl.
Tufa Girl, it's the "or something" that is scary.
ReplyDeleteKaren: ah ha ha.... what, I don't know what you mean
Mom L, I was really impression when I found out Lola got out of her car. Senior reporters are fearless.
(go, Diane, go) - this has been a paid endorsement by Mom L.
My fearlessness nearly got me arrested the other day! I have blurry running away photos coming soon!
ReplyDeleteOooo! What happened?
ReplyDeleteLola Nova, great way to sell the upcoming story. Can't wait for you to send it in.
ReplyDeleteredgirl, quit trying to get Lola to spill the beans and spoil the suspense.
Hahaha. Everyone still has Tina on their mind. Introducing her to Johnny was the first thing I thought of too. Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for LN's submission.
