Snow Days and Bufays

Just heard it on the radio. "Rain should start around 9 tonight, eventually turning to snow. With accumulation of up to 2 inches, you may want to work late this evening just in case you can't get to the office Tuesday morning". I am not kidding! Aside from the 2 inches "being to much to get through"... somebody is actually suggesting that Skully stays late tonight, just in case. Clearly, a radio news spot that needed some "fill time".

Here's something that has been bothering me:

BUFFET: Jimmy pronounces his last name, "Buffit".
BUFFET: Hogs are fed at the "bufay". (Human hogs... the four legged kind are fed at the troff).
BUFFET: The artist pronounces his name "boofay" and his first name (Guy) is pronounced "gey" - sounds like "key".

Yes, winter weather has arrived and Skully is:
A) Not happy.
B) Cold.
C) Headed for the Kuys. (note the tie-in to the above ranting/musing).

Obviously, far too much time spent listening to Tropicast Radio (podcast) and Margaritaville (Sirius) while freezing behind off as he put up lights on the outside of the house over the weekend.

This is one pirate in desperate need of Boat Drinks. Probably not a good idea. It's a little early in the season to be shooting holes in the freezer.

PS: If you haven't (and you should) heard Tropicast Radio, check it out in the Pod stuff at iTunes. Tons of great downloads. Best done with a Landshark or a Pacifico.

Oh, one more thing, notice the clever way that the title ties two concepts together and does it in rhyme. The idea was all mine.
