This is a rite everyone
north of the Panama Canal is supposed to participate in at noon on June 2.
According to the website for
“Wellcat Holidays” in order to keep poisonous cobra snakes out of North
America, all citizens are supposed to go outdoors at noon their local time and
yell “Fudge.” They claim fudge makes cobras gag and the mere mention of it
makes them skedaddle.
I was practicing yelling “Fudge”
when I got a better idea.
If fudge is so nauseating
to cobras, if I eat enough to get fudge breath, I should keep them away just as
well. I’m surprised the writers of the Wellcat Holiday site didn’t think of
this.

| Paul, how do you like my new Dutch Delft dinnerware? |
FUDGE!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's in case any of those snakes can read.
Mom had those pieces of Delft china for real ... I still have a couple of odds and ends in Delft. We gave the dinner set away to someone who needed a set of china.
I want a kitchen like the Emperor's ... He deserves to win the "Good Housekeeping" award for ... something.
Fudge is yummy. I like it too, maybe we'll share some when we get to meet each other!!! I'll check the territory and believe me there will be NO snakes around...I'll protect you, Stretch. Love, your number one Fan. Laurie hibernationnow.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Paul! There might be some deaf snakes in the pack who can read. And I think it's great that you have some dishes in the same pattern as me. We are so high class! Thank you for suggesting the Good Housekeeping award for me, but I can't take credit. My assistant/housekeeper does most of the work in keeping the kitchen tidy. But I do have good taste in furnishings, don't I? Maybe I should do some blog posts on decorating.
ReplyDeleteAnd Laurie, I will be glad to share some fudge with you. And thanks for protecting me from snakes, you are the bestest best friend and number one Fan!!!
Love to you both, Stretch
