Don Quixote Appreciation Thread

[Lefty]

Ahoy all Sea going men women and other adults,
Landlubbers. Skydwellers and Adult denizens of
the Parallel Universes.

Don Quixote..Don, Dawna, DQ, Mr. Blizz or just plain Friend is in need of
recognition. This bespectacled, mature little man from western N.Y. is
a vital JUB COG. You read a story on here...he probably edited and or
proofread it. He is a pm fetishist...always upbeat with ego strokes and
advice or just empathy.

His posts (when not picking and abusing poor innocent me) are funny,
wise and caring. His post count does not show honor or credit his more
than admirable contributions......hell, he even has defended me.(that
may just be his dementia though)

Please,Please, Please

put your typing fingers together and tell him

THANKS. (the old fart is a keeper)

[ronboy]

I can personally say that my neighbor Don Quixote is the genuine article!

He is a great editor, and keeper of the JUB literary standard. He edits stories, speaks for the writers when they are unable to, and an all around nice guy!

[BENDERBOY]

Don, or Pops as he is known to me has been an absolute lifesaver for young Benderboy here, and his kind words and consideration have done much to keep me, if not on the straight path, at least on the bloody path, love you Pops.

Thanks for all your positive comments in my stories, and for helping to inspire me to keep writing as long as I did.

[redfox70]

But seriously

[GamerBear]

I remember you posting on a few of my stories, you were like one of the few who enjoyed my stories. Thank you.

[Lefty]

okay boys and girls,

remember...we know nothing...

aliens came in and overpowered our machines

hes old and goes to sleep early so...

• Constructive
• Positive
• Encouraging
• Sharp as a whip
• Kind as a nun - you know, the one who drifts by when you're sitting there deep in thought, mouth full of Big Chew, guilt reverberating throughout your ribs after Sister Sheila Sassacus' shellacking for those dirty stories you accidentally turned in with your homework, when suddenly the soft flaps of a humble fabric catch your ear, and you turn, and yes, it's her, the mysterious sole sister who'd rather flash a smile than thrash a Kyle, and she leans close to your ear and licks your fuzzy earlobe, slowly, wetly, from the top to the lobe, and finishes with a playful flick in the center, then whispers "thanks for sharing your creative juices with us" before slipping away into a flock of puppies and disappearing from sight, leaving you delirious with sexcitement as you run away to play with your pen once again, after a quick stop in the holy bathroom stall, of course.

These five qualities are what makes Don the magnificent literary beast we are all so grateful to have prowling the hallowed halls of the stories forum.

You are an inspiration to all of our students of writing.

Except the one you ate last November.

That was bad.

We had to call the parents, Don.

They really didn't care, but making that long-distance call was expensive, man.

So let's not have that happen again, shall we?

To Don!!

[MTLDude]

Hi Don

[EJMichaels]

It will take me a while to compose a post worthy of DQ.

[Lefty]

Come on boys and girls...

yeah, even you Mods and other tower denizens

hurry up before he gets home from church

poor bastard lives outside of Rochester,

he needs a stroke.....really needs one.

[Limenade]

Hi Don!

[unloadonme]

According to a well-known online encyclopaedia, Don Quixote is "a retired country gentleman nearing 50 years of age, who lives in an unnamed section of New York state with his niece and a housekeeper".

Sounds a little suspicious to me. Explain yourself Sir!

[dynk]

Good afternoon DonQ

[Lefty]

/\

You need to update your encyclopaedia

50 is long gone in the old coots rear view mirror

but he is rather harmless and a nice (by new york

standards) kind of bloke.

[unloadonme]

Yeah, but I'm not really familiar with "New York standards"!

[Lefty]

think Kings Cross or Southwark....

that should give you a start.

[unloadonme]

I'm thinking red light districts.

[Lefty]

exactly,

and new york is a BIG whore.

compared to that, Mister Blizz

has high standards

[Taz]

Considering I'm about as eloquent as a bag of dirty rocks, you'll have to take my meager "DQ FTW!" as a great sign of appreciation.

Quick question... Where does the name Mr.Blizz come from?

[DonQuixote]

Thanks, everyone. I'm not quite sure why Leftykins felt I was in need of the thanks, but it's appreciated.

Taz,
One of our members from up Portland way, Gwailo, decided that one of the shortened nick names for me, Don Quixote = DQ = Dairy Queen (Lefty particularly enjoys adding the "queen" moniker)
Dairy Queen is a US soft-serve ice cream, hamburger restaurant.

Their most successful frozen confections is the Blizzard - a mix-in form of soft-serve w/ you name it - maybe crushed oreo cookies, gummie bears, or other assorted treats.

So, from Don Quixote to DQ to Dairy Queen to "Blizz".
Everyone was having so much fun with the new moniker, I decided I was game, and changed my tag line.

http://blog.dairyqueen.com/blizzard/...or-blizz-menu/

I tweaked "Blizz" and modified a famous line by Sidney Poitier in "The Heat of the Night" -
He is a famous, ground breaking black actor who made it BIG at a time when prejudice still ran strong
in this country. In the role, he was a homicide detective from Philadelphia who went down South to help solve a murder - the "whiteys" on the force were treating him like a "boy", as was the custom in those days. He made it very clear that HE was in charge, by saying "They call me MR. Tibbs", emphasis on "Mr."

Now you know.

GTFB...GTFS

[DonQuixote]

Night Night, Leftykins.

[Triple G]

So glad to see you have your own thread. You deserve it.

[Lefty]

I totally agree GGG,

the little sodder has been appreciating and helping since he came on scene

just thought it was time we gave back some of the

[DonQuixote]

Thanks, guys.
I was happy playing in your sandboxes.
My own piece of JUB e-estate, wow.

[Lefty]

Morning there New Yorkie boy.

You best be off to the salt mines while I'm doing this.

Have a good work day and just think, 5 days and there

will be a new mouth to feed...but no potty training and

you can send her home w/o feeling guilty......

[DonQuixote]

She's been around awhile, now.
Even spend a Summer in residence.

Once in awhile, they even take another one off of our hands for a night.

[Lefty]

See if she and the stud can't be convinced to take all such encumbrances

for a day at the lake or local amusement park or even some fine church

related benefit activity..............probably ought to let them complete the uhm

honeymoon curve/arc first though.

\btw, was not ignoring you, ISP issues.

[hungrybrownbear]

I adore DonQuixote. He is so sweet.

[MTLDude]

Hi Don

[dynk]

Good morning Don

[Lefty]

well aren't you just the lucky boy,

your own early morning glee club

to sing you a cheery morning while

Mr. Bleery - eyed sucks up coffee.

lol..g'day n'yorkie.

[Triple G]

A good morn to thee, Sir Knight.

[DonQuixote]

Good Evening, Gang.
Thanks for stopping by - I didn't even make it out here this morning.
Or most mornings. Stay up "late", get up later . . .

Lefty, I think they have taken both on rare occasion, but it really does work best if they're kept separated.

As for the honeymoon, they've lived together for over two years - I think they've been there/done that. And, he's teaching 3 courses this half of Summer Session - yeah, school was supposed to make 2 early, 1 late, but NOoooo.

They will survive. We did.

[Lefty]

you let them 'shack up' for how long???

What kind of example did you let him set for those

poor little girls. And now...he's teaching?...

in my day we slunk around and did that stuff on the

sly....hell, my mom probsbly thought I was still a virgin

after the sweet 16 party. the one where I came home

with torn pants and no jockeys.

lol

[DonQuixote]

When they's away at College, mam and pap can't be looking over their shoulders 24/7.

Least wise I'z fairly certain he was of a majority when he got too far into the garden of earthly delights.

[Lefty]

excuses...excuses....excuses.....okay....

BTW, the clock is ticking so if I miss your ambulation to

the the overnight promised land


Sweet wet dream and a good nights rest...

[DonQuixote]

Night Night, Leftykins.

The wet dream was sweet anticipation.
Now for the good night's rest.

[Triple G]

Sleep well, Don

[MTLDude]

Hi Don

[DonQuixote]

Bonjour, Boris.
You are doing a better job of getting up early than I am, of late.

Heading on out for the day.
Bills I have to pay, and all that jazz.

[Lefty]

hurry now laddy

but for ronboys sake...........

drive carefully.

Rochester has enough

statistics this month

thankyou

[Triple G]

Happy hump day, Sir Knight.

[DonQuixote]

Thank you, Mr. Hare.

But, 'tis better than that for me.
My son's getting married on Saturn's Day, you see.
And today was my last at work for a week.

So, now, I must have needs supplies
for the reception seek.
(Means I've got to get the galvanized tub from my Mom's
for the pop and wine, get some ice bags in the upstairs freezer
and clean out cars, make them shine.)

[Lefty]

chicken kukui

the HEEDLESS horseman

is pulling the White Wedding Card Again

[DonQuixote]

Hey, I told you, Lefty, LAST Sunday we had a Wedding at Mass.
This Saturday is my sons' wedding.
Been no change in what I been saying.

Just 'cause you can't keep 'em straight . . .

Maybe it's all that
Drink a little drink
Smoke a little smoke.

[MTLDude]

Hi Don

[Lefty]

You say to

Keep 'em Straight

HELL, I

Can hardly keep them

down on the farm now

[DonQuixote]

Good Morning, Boris.

Hi, Lefty. You seem to have re-DISS-covered your whipcord wit.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
