TOO RIGHT!!!

LOL. The way certain members of this group talk about paddling reminds me of
the old SNL skit with the Anal Retentive Chef. Remember that? Try to think
what rbp posters could take over the job of Gene. Here's how Gene disposes
of garbage:

[Background: the anal retentive chef is preparing a steak with bell peppers,
but stops to remove one of the peppers because it is not the same size as
the others]

And how do we throw things out? Okay. We take our paper towel, two
pieces, unbroken, lay it out neatly, dump the refuse inside, arranged neatly
.... [assembles the garbage] ... let's take these little nasties we separated
earlier, put that back ... fold over carefully, making sure the corners are
square ... and ... we take a piece of aluminum foil, and we place our refuse
onto the foil, and fold over very carefully - this way, it won't leak onto
the other garbage. Aluminum foil is such a miracle product! It's really an
extraordinary product.

Alright, and then we take a brown, paper sandwich bag ... [opens bag]
....place the refuse inside ... [drops it in] ...and ... oh no, this bag is
torn.. [looks around] Well ... no, that's alright. We'll just fold over, and
no one will see. We'll fold it over twice to be careful ... then we get our
tape. [grabs tape, which is naturally covered in a cozy] And, we tape it
shut - be very careful to center the tape on the bag. I like to keep my tape
dispenser right here on the counter. There we go! [holds up bag] All ready
for the trash. Now that's some garbage you can live with! [laughs]

Alright, I noticed some of you were admiring my tape dispenser cozy. Isn't
that pretty? I made it myself, out of toothpicks, felt, plain old buckroom,
a couple of pearl buttons and some eyelets. Now, isn't that better than
looking at an old tape dispenser? I think so! Alright. Let's set this over
here. [places tape dispenser onto the counter next to the sink, behind him]

Okay, where were we?

PS: If anyone would care to write an anal retentive paddler script (without
copying any of the actual writing from this protect paddles thread) I bet it
would be a riot!
