Dad and Vicky due in this weekend

[The Walker]

Dad and Vicky will probably get in Saturday or Sunday. Jose will go fetch them in the Suburban. Look for a post from them sometime late next week. Vicky says Argentina is a mess, children starving in outlying areas. Political corruption in those areas making it worse. But the people are bearing up well and for the most part whith what dignity they can muster. The "patrone" of the ranch where they stayed was magnanimous with the poor in his area.

Give them some time to rest up and to get their notes together, and they'll have some things to tell you. Vickly says she will not eat another bite of beef for a month.

Dad and Vicky were very popular whenever they struck up a tango, which I gather is almost the national dance of Argentina. I can understand why they were so popular. Remember Gomez and Morticia doing a tango in "Addams Family Values"? They dance like that. It is almost rated NC-17 when they tango. You can tell they really get into it. Better than Arnold and Tia in "True Lies". They have a special tango outfit they wear. Vicky's is slashed up and down and is  a shimmering white and black sequined dance gown. Dad has a full-blown back tuxedo that looks just like Gomez' tux in "Addams Family Values" with real black pearl studs and cufflinks. Dad is really a handsome devil in that outfit, and Vicky is pretty cute in hers, too. I wish they would post a picture so you could see but dad is pretty strict about that.

Ask them about the tango when they get back online here.

T.E.D.,
 Your writing style is very similar to your fathers.
Thanks for the updates, I am looking forward to your fathers' stories of his travels.

Is it? Ha-ha! I never noticed. I am not surprised. After mom ran away, the three of us became exceptionally close and I did most of the secretary work until I went to college. Dad often dictated letters on tape and I would transcribe them. So that must be where I picked up his style of writing.

PS: Looks like Saturday. Dad will have a fit if he misses the Superbowl so I expect them in Saturday. He has several people in for the game and they watch it on dad's big screen and party. I think they have almost as much fun watching the commercials as the game some years.

Hi T.E.D.,

I'll bet he dictates them to Vicky now too. Her style of writing is the same as well.

Hi T.E.D.,

Gomez was always quite the dancer! He and Morticia make a perfect couple. Maybe your Dad can post a picture without their heads showing. ) Did Don and Vicky do the Habanera at the wedding? ) I'm glad they're having a great trip!

Hi Dave,

Well, at least a picture of Vicky. That probably wouldn't do any harm.

Were they spying on Argentina?

You know he wouldn't bring the wife along on a mission! You've been watching too many Arnold Schwarzenneger movies. Besides, like Jimbo pointed out, he's retired :-)

I thought they went down there to swap bull sperm. I wonder if Don uses one of them new-fangled microprocessor-controlled sperm collection systems or if he does it the old fashioned way (give the bull a bucket and a Playboy magazine and send him out behind the barn)?

BTW, does bull sperm come in quarts???

Ray,
 You got it close except that you have to go with the bull to errrrrrr help him.   !YUCK!    Yep, I saw it on TV recently and after watching the bull's "assistant", I have to say it did wonders for my attitude at work!   As you may know, I DID grow up on a farm with a lot of beef cows but we just let the bull and cows work it out between themselves.

PS - Yep, quarts is about right.   Oh my goodness....will
    this get me banned??

Hi Steve,

LOL! I remember reading the biography of Erol Flynn. His first job in Australia was biting the b@lls off sheep. I thought that was the worst job I had ever heard of till you mentioned the bulls assistant.

Jay,

I saw an interesting job listed in the paper the other day for the San Diego zoo, circumcising elephants.

The pay isn't much but the tips are big...
