Jack, I don't know about Kip, but speaking for myself, I resemble that remark. Yuk,Yuk,Yuk. You'll have to ask the Ol' Southerner himself, but it sounds like wet noodles at 20 paces to me. Kip I'll be your second. Pasta fight!!

Thom, I look forward to you being my second, especially being it looks like wet noodles at 20 paces. I just hope I can do the 20 paces. I recommend a least one food fight or some kind every year to keep the antifreeze in my veins moving. And by the way, I want to specify cold noodles this time. I remember so well the last noodle encounter with boiling hot ones. It was like getting stung by a jellyfish.

The eyes are the windows to the soul...
So what does the second sling... meatballs? Or just extra wet noodles? Can they be lasagne noodles?
I want tickets to this event.

Sounds like another good reason for a forum get-together. (You know~for those who may not be interested in drooling over Kip's library.)

Hi one and all,
The noddle fight sounds great as long as it is just cheese sauce for me, have a allergy to tomatoes. Though at the moment could throw to much more like 2 paces for me, my I just watch from a distance. Shepherdess my middle grandkid would like the library and also Anne depending on what is in it to read.

How about marshmallows instead of cold noodles? I know how to make a mini-marshmallow blow gun from plastic water pipe! Best if the mini-marshmallows are stale, as then they pack a bit more impact.
I guess I need a second. Who is available and willing?
Oh, would an air powered noodle launcher be acceptable?

Mike, I forgot to mention that everyone chipped in this year to get Son the Lego Death Star for his birthday. He was so disappointed when he didn't get it at Christmas, that we asked the relatives if they would go in on one big gift with us. Now, he would work non stop on that if I let him.

That one was fun. I'm still trying to talk the wife into getting me the Millenium Falcon one they have now, but she insists I don't have anywhere to put it. I don't see the relevance, personally...

Mike, isn't that Millenium Falcon thing like $350 or so? (But again, like the storage issue, not really relevant, right? )

Thom, I am a little concerned about this John Bumbledore character. He wants to use an air powered noodle launcher. Look at that picture of him with his white beard just everywhere. I bet only his beautician knows he colors his beard and hair to make him appear older than he is. What do you think? I thought he already had enough hot air in that body of his without having to resort to an accessory. What's your make on him?
I could not believe that someone like Viola Intonada would volunteer to be his second. But now that he has a second, maybe we should use the white gloves to properly slap his face so that he knows we are not joking about this. How about you as a second handle the details. I think we should shoot for a firm date of the match. Maybe like when each of them reaches at least sixty years of age. Otherwise we would be guilty of taking advantage of someone much younger than either of us. What do you think?
By the way, as the second, do you buy the champagne? I will be glad to furnish the wet noodles. Being that the champagne may be rough on old teeth, maybe we should used fortified milk. Just a thought... and it's got to be cheaper. Now that Detroit is rank so far down the economic scale, milk will be just fine. Plus it will be good for the teeth and we may have to eat the noodles that we don't use. By the way, what do we use the Viagra for that we were sent? As a second, you are suppose to know all these things.
Also, I am more inclined to go for capellini because it is easier to chew and does not take a much energy to digest. Your thoughts?
Maybe we could start a campaign to outlaw wet noodle challenges. What do you think?
That's enough for you to chew on right now.
I remain, your friend regardless!

Kip, I can boil it down to just one item, and that John is not to be feared. As your second it is my duty to get you properly trained, and the first rule is "you know what they say about men with big guns". Nuff said. The calculator, is mightier then the noodle gun.
Journey Mom is hereby changed to Journey Mother. How you talk, girl.
I promise to keep my powder and depends dry for this upcoming varment shoot. I'll have plenty of Ensure for the both of us rather then milk, as it is easier on our dilapidated colons.
Denise, If we meet up in Virginia, (neutral site) would you be so kind as to referee. I believe that the customary fee is 5 gold galleons from each side which I shall forward along at your earliest.
I believe that covers the details. How say you Mr. Bumbledore, on these besmerched acusations?

Lego Millennium Falcon: there must be more than one. I did get one for Mr. Journeymom and ds to work on together, but it was more like $100. Which is bad enough, but as Orion says, it's worth it. In any case, the finished Falcon graces the top of one of our very elegant book cases, up high where it can't be messed with. Guests like to comment on the disparity between the Lego Millennium Falcon and the surroundings.
Have a fine day, All.

Thom, you de best! I feel that I could whup that Tar Heel with both arms tied behind my back. I know you will take care of me. And that Ensure sounds pretty darn good to me!
Be careful with sending galleons to early to Denise P. because she has a little pony, which may need plenty of feed, being it's blue. Plus there could be vet bills. I do however like Virginia as the location because there have been many battle there already; therefore our little encounter will go unnoticed.
Just want to let everyone know, I had to go back and edit my prior post to keep some of the "straight-laced" (see PeskyPixie) happy. I just don't care for "disembowelling flobberworms" or whatever she called them.
Don't be so hard on the Journeymom. She's cool! And she knows all about them there Millennium things. She's smart too! Wonder if she is the mother of Steve Perry?
And that lady with the glasses in her picture, she's cool also 'cause she understand what the Journey lady talking about. She also must be smart too.
And watch out for that lady Puck. With a name link that, she could be related to the original Hockey Puck and I definitely don't want to get zapped by Mr. Warmth!
We may want to check with both Solitaire and Orion about the use of UGG boots for the match. Maybe we can parlay this into a money-making event, with sponsor signed up for the noodles and boots, etc. We could even have it transmitted in French for Elanor, who is really Audrey. Go figure!
I am sure that boop (I wonder if she is related to the famous Betty Boop?) would come down from Penn State and bring a crew of Nittany Lions to clean up the mess that will be made. The Lions could even take away the evidence of the encounter if they can get the tar our of their teeth.
While I'm still able, I need to address a few other issues.
Hey, squid dude, what is this about "decompress"? I am still just as big around as ever and I don't have to put "The giant" in front of my handle to know it or to get respect. Then again, you guys out west always think you are bigger than life anyway. I reckon it because of all that open space around them. Must make that empty space in their head seem small.
As for time after the 15th, I'm busier now than before then. Doesn't make sense, does it?
Now where is that "Bumbly Dore"? Maybe he is hiding under a rock after seeing that you (Thom) are my second. I am truly blessed!
'Nuf said! Then again, maybe I said too much. I hope I did not leave anyone out. You are all invited to the melee! We need all the free publicity we can get. Plus we may need plenty to help clean up the mess.

Legos are expensive, but they last a long time and can be used lots of different ways. Note to duellers: Draco can build some pretty impressive weapons out of Legos if you think they might come in handy, including catapults and guns that actually shoot things (more Legos). You also have to factor in the expense of storage containers to hold the millions of Legos.

kaykay1970, I am sure that John definitely needs all the help that he can muster. And it good to see the members not taking the prose too personal; however why is the "1970" attached to your handle? Was that the year you were born? If so, that is the year my daughter was born. Go Volunteers! After the encounter, you may never volunteer for anything else.
PeskyPixie, maybe you are not as straightlaced as I thought, just picky ... kinda like the start of your name.
Puck, glad to know that you are related to royalty. I understand that guy could really shake a spear! Whoa! Don't believe I said that. I would like to have him on my team. Also don't worry about John, with all that hair, he would probably have trouble getting it out of the way to draw a sight on you.
Thom, I am humbled by your understanding and expertise plus your love for history. Maybe I should step down and make you that "that beacon of shining knighthood" and I become your second. Maybe the Bloody Baron will bring his crew to the encounter. We could possibly even get JKR to come on board and write an epic.. or at least some bigger than The Bard. (Puck, this does not refer to your relationship.)
Holly T., with that castle in the background and the happy face in the foreground, I know I better walk a straight line. Or you may put me away in one of those towers. I am sure the true you is devious. Parlez-vous Francaise? Je ne parle pas Francaise. That's the best I can do right now. Thank for the e-card.
journeymom, see you are smart. It only took you a moment!
I apologize to those who find our words to be against the grain for this marvelous thread; however every so often, it good to stir the sauce, shake it all up and around, just to see where you are, have been, and are heading. Plus it's fun! And we are getting close to the end of this thread.

Squid dude, in defense of my charge, (that beacon of shining knighthood), have you never heard of filing extentions? We Realtors never leave home without them.
My Lordship, I thought about Bloody Lane, we could change history!

ROFL!
Legos are expensive, but they last a long time and can be used lots of different ways. Note to duellers: Draco can build some pretty impressive weapons out of Legos if you think they might come in handy, including catapults and guns that actually shoot things (more Legos). You also have to factor in the expense of storage containers to hold the millions of Legos.

Oh, good, I'm smart and cool!! I'm embarrassed to admit, it took me a moment to get the Steve Perry referrence. *blush* Maybe not so smart!

co-Host with Steve on the Lexicon Forum, but he has the final say as the Owner!
kaykay1970, I am sure that John definitely needs all the help that he can muster. And it good to see the members not taking the prose too personal; however why is the "1970" attached to your handle? Was that the year you were born? If so, that is the year my daughter was born. Go Volunteers! After the encounter, you may never volunteer for anything else.
PeskyPixie, maybe you are not as straightlaced as I thought, just picky ... kinda like the start of your name.
Puck, glad to know that you are related to royalty. I understand that guy could really shake a spear! Whoa! Don't believe I said that. I would like to have him on my team. Also don't worry about John, with all that hair, he would probably have trouble getting it out of the way to draw a sight on you.
Thom, I am humbled by your understanding and expertise plus your love for history. Maybe I should step down and make you that "that beacon of shining knighthood" and I become your second. Maybe the Bloody Baron will bring his crew to the encounter. We could possibly even get JKR to come on board and write an epic.. or at least some bigger than The Bard. (Puck, this does not refer to your relationship.)
Holly T., with that castle in the background and the happy face in the foreground, I know I better walk a straight line. Or you may put me away in one of those towers. I am sure the true you is devious. Parlez-vous Francaise? Je ne parle pas Francaise. That's the best I can do right now. Thank for the e-card.
journeymom, see you are smart. It only took you a moment!
I apologize to those who find our words to be against the grain for this marvelous thread; however every so often, it good to stir the sauce, shake it all up and around, just to see where you are, have been, and are heading. Plus it's fun! And we are getting close to the end of this thread.

But let us not forget that rock smashing raccoon killing Madame P. There is a team mate, Kip. She can slap the white glove on the hairy one. Probably hits harder then we do anyway.

I believe I've stumbled into the Closed Ward at St. Mungo's. Just what did my 'brother' stir up. Perhaps it wasn't his doing. Perhaps two gentlemen mistook Texas Pete for Geritol and got a bit fired up?.
Kip, both my brother and I are concerned for your health and hope you don't over exert yourself so soon after your recent procedure. Noodles may be heavy when wet. By the way, are you still taking your pain med? Should you be?
Another funny though occurs to me, What is the true Puck: faerie, goblin, devil or imp? Three of those four do sound like apt descriptions of the old "bullet head." But from our Puck's posting I'd say it was the first and last combinded with dancing.
John sends his gracious thanks to Kaykay and the rest of The Volunteers and especially to Viola Intonada. He's currently searching the archives for references to the archaic subject of duling but finds few sources are electronically accessible. I suggested that it had something to do with a story I heard from Charlie about the devil down in Georgia. If so I told him it was very good that Viola is his second. And that does link nicely with our friends in Tennisee.
On an unrelated not, if Viola is his second, does that mean I am now one of a triplet?

Jack, John, Viola, Thom, Kip, et al.--I must refer you to an article by Kenneth S. Greenberg entitled "The Nose, the Lie, and the Duel in the Antebellum South," American Historical Review, vol. 95, no. 1 (Feb., 1990). It's a 17-page scholarly article about nose-tweaking. Seriously. It doesn't mention noodles, though.
Verity Weasley - May 13, 2009 3:24 pm (#2983 of 2988)
All of these posts by Kip, Thom et al are indeed fun to read, although I have completely forgotten quite how this duel began. I wonder if the protagonists remember?
Viola Intonada - May 13, 2009 6:05 pm (#2986 of 2988)
Kip and Thom, on behalf of John and myself, I accept the terms of the duel being in Virginia. I will arrange for two vats of noodles to be placed 20 paces apart (considering everyone's age, it will be 20 small paces). Noodles will be slung until someone is knocked down or there are no more noodles left.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but it all started when Steve Newton confessed that he was 142 years old when his son was born. Madame P. calculated that Steve is now 159 years old. And accused Kip and Steve of sharing in Nicholas Flamel's secret. Then John accused Thom of also imbibing elixir. Thom took "offense" on behalf of Kip and volunteered to be Kip's second and suggested a wet noodle duel. John asked for a second and I volunteered.

Kip, I would be glad to bring the Nittany Lion football players. Some of them have been in trouble and need to make up for there mistakes and cleaning up after a wet noodle fight sounds like a fair punishment.
This duel is getting exciting just hearing all this talk. So when is this going to take place. I will need to take the time off work to make the trip to Virg.. I will need to arrange something with JoePa, since I will be taking the football team with me

Me as well Odo. I came here with the mind of a teen, looking for a wet noodle partner, and Kip came in and Mr. Bumbledore backed off crying and well, that was that. No more need to threaten with the old noodle showdown. To this day, I'm still a sixty y/o teen.
