I Just Flew In From The North Pole...
...and my antlers are killing me! yes, folks, that was the calibre of humour which you could expect from me in my role as MC for the evening's festivities. I decided to go for the "Rudolph Dangerfield" school of hosting, and I managed to find a bunch of REALLY bad seasonal jokes to sprinkle throughout my introductions, and to kill time between performances while waiting for the next group to come onstage. Some samples:
"What do you call Frosty the Snowman in July?
A puddle."
"What do you get when you cross a vampire with a snowman?
Frostbite."
"Why don't computers work at the North Pole?
Because they get frostbyte."
"What does Santa call his elves?
Subordinate clauses."
Believe it or not, it just got worse from there. There really ought to be a law...
[Many thanks to Patti Johnston, the town social worker for the past year, for taking this shot and all the rest of these concert photos using my camera, since I was occupied with my MC duties. Patti is returning to Vancouver next week and will be missed very much by everyone here. I know I will miss her lively sense of humour, her love of great music and wine and tofu at all hours, and especially her awesome volleyball skills, which often made me feel like I had a kindred spirit out there on the court. Best wishes back in Tofu-Land (your true spiritual home), Patti! :) ]
