Will the Phantom of the Khukura rise again?...

Rick? Your post "As the saying goes; No good deed goes unpunished...uh Every silver lining has a dark cloud...er um Don't fidget when I talk to you...oh well," brings to mind a favored rhyme by Ogden Nash, slightly edited by a poor memory.

It was composed during those days after a Thanksgiving, when so many people complained about turkey left-over dishes, soups, sandwiches, turkey-loaf...etc. Nash talked about a man whose outlook was excessively positive.

"When Thanksgiving came twice,
Who walked so proud
As that grateful optimist, Mr. McCloud?

Things you and I would greatly deplore,
McCloud found ways to be grateful for.

Mrs. McCloud, on the other hand,
was always complaining to beat the band.

One day, she tired of his cheery note
and stuffed a tea-tray down his throat.

He remarked from the floor where they found him reclining:
'I'm just a McCloud, with a silver lining.'"

hang in.

Y'all shouldn't get the old man (frail, about to retire no less) so riled up. If he crawls back down to his lair and expires from an over excited ticker, many many years worth of khuks (hoarded no doubt due to an advanced case of HIKV) will be lost to humanity forever :eek:.

Maybe... just maybe, centuries from now, some Indian Jones type will, after defeating the many boobie-traps, discover the lost treasures THE DUCK secreted away... they might even make a movie out of it...

BUT DON'T RILE THE DUCK!!! He needs peace and quiet. HIKV sufferers need their rest...
