Big Boots, Sharpe's Challenge, and a Meme
Aug. 11th, 2006 07:49 amBig Boots, phrasal noun: 1 the Footwear necessary for Enterprise and Excitement. 2 any article of clothing that is only worn when things begin to get quite exciting.
Adventure, noun: any event or happening that requires Fortitude and Footwear. Smaller Animals may require Provisions* and , certainly, a Smackerel* or two.
Today is my last day to get together my Provisions and Smackerels for our Adventure... er, trip out east to the conference we will be atttending. Packing is always a major chore for me, in spite of having had to do it so much and so often in the course of my adventurous life -- if I can get past the part of collecting Provisions with relative calm, the rest of the Adventure should be Exciting.
So, I'm going to be putting my Big Boots on and wading in to it with Determination, not to mention Enterprise. And to make sure I do a really Heroic of job of it, I'm going to be putting on these Big Boots:
We leave tomorrow morning and won't be back for about 10 days, though I expect you will see me checking in at intervals, as long as there is an internet connection handy somewhere.
Sharpe's Challenge alert: For those who get BBC America, here's the scoop:
Christopher Robin was sitting outside his door, putting on his Big Boots. As soo as he saw the Big Boots, Pooh knew that an Adventure was going to happen, and he brushed the honey off his nose with the back of his paw, and spirced himself up as well as he could, so as to look Ready for Anything.
