Quote me.

Viktor:  So Frodo, what do you think about my blog so far?

Frodo:  It keeps you busy and keeps you out of my way – so it is excellent.

Viktor:  Thanks for helping with my Vik-tionary terms.  You’re very good with vocabulary.  Although I’m not so sure you could match that border collie….

Frodo:  I beg to differ.  Let’s just see how he and I would do in a Scrabble match.

Viktor:  We can’t.   Remember?   Paxton ate most of the vowels.

Frodo:   Drat.  I forgot.

Viktor:  I’ve been thinking of adding a new feature to my blog – my quote of the week. 

Frodo:  Seriously?  You realize -a quote should be profound.  It has to have meaning.  It should inspire.  Or inform.  Or it has to make someone smile.  I’m not so sure you have the ability to come up with a one-liner that will pack that kind of information. For example, there’s a quote that has been circulating on the internet lately – and some say it’s POLISH proverb.  I’m not certain of the origin, but  it IS very good – “Not my circus.  Not my monkeys.” Do you think YOU can come up with something like that?!

Vitkor:  Well for my first quote, I was going to base it on something YOU do.  It’s about taking chances.  It’s about the simple things in life.  Or it could be about cooling off if one has been a bit hot-headed.  You were the inspiration for this one.

Frodo:  OK.  I’m ready.  This should be good.

Viktor:  Here goes.  You can use it – just make SURE you attribute it to me…

Frodo:  All right already.

Viktor:   “Never pass up the opportunity to stick your head in the refrigerator.”  By Viktor.  The PON.

Frodo:  (eyes rolling)  They can only get better…
