Glad to hear you and your E of H are bonding, Littlec. I'm also glad to hear Juju did in a mere fishing worm and not Warren. She's a good dog but she can be a bit of a bull in a china shop. I'm betting Warren loved the Elvis convention. He's already got the pompadour and he can rattle those hips like no earthworm I've ever seen.

I'm off to visit today's lucky honoree.

Today's E of H recipient is < zen-like pluck on the sitar > FaeryGdds! Faery hails from the great state of Texas, where men are men and so is everyone else. Her hobbies include fashioning doilies from cement and calling in sick. She believes sea monkeys are really extra-terrestrials and has received a government grant to see if she can "mind meld" with them.

Today's E of H honoree is < brief rap of spoons upon the knee > Yankee_in_ca! Yankee hails from the pristine province of British Columbia. It's a lot like Columbia, only more British. Her hobbies include sneering at Canadians and shoplifting. One day she hopes to singlehanded invade Iran.

Wow -- I just got home after 10 hours of flying and am exhausted. I log on, and find out I've got some crazy E of H thing going on!!! I'm really not sure what it is yet, but I'm sure it's a great honor (or honour as they say up here). After I've taken a nap, I'll try to figure this E of H thing out!! LOL...

Well, Yankee, maybe if I share some of the Earthworm Crusade's press clippings, you'll get a better sense of this ground-breaking movement. Here are just a few of the glowing reviews:

I laughed, I cried, I got sick in the bushes.
- The Emily Post

Move over Billy Graham! This crusade is worming into your territory.
- The Cairo Practor


Warren Pieces is this generation's Fab Four!
-The Detroit Bench Press

Makes the Hippy movement look pale and pasty.
-The Boston Cream Pie

I was a skeptic, but now I'm merely indifferent.
- The Rectal Examiner

Adven is a genius. Women should get naked and throw themselves on him!
- The Lima Bean

4 Stahs!
- Rob Marinaro

Ditto what the Lima Bean just said!
- The Hong Kong Flu

These are just a few of the rave reviews that keep pouring in. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to bestow another worm.

Today's recipient of the E of H is < strum of a harp > HeyItsLori! Lori hails from the great state of Michigan, home to wolverines and a really bad major league baseball team. Their NFL team is nothing to write home about, either. She enjoys looking pretty in pink and stalking celebrities. She is also the co-author of "Fly Swatting For Fun And Profit".

As a fellow Wolverine, I'd just like to say that having BAD sports teams (except for the Wings of course) gives us MORE time to spend PARTYING with WARREN!! Who needs baseball or football when we have MILES of beaches, plenty of "night life" in the big cities AND some of the best wines east of California?

Have fun Lori!

It's been an amazing day.

I woke up this morning to find the cutest little earthworm lying on the pillow next to me! Imagine my delight when he leaned in with that cute little mouth (at least I THINK that was his mouth!) and planted a kiss firmly on my lips. He then introduced himself as my Earthworm of Happiness, Mr. Harry (aka: Hair) Piece. Warren's brother. Warren was apparently off working on the Great Smiley Face Mystery over at tvch, trying to restore peace and harmony to the posters.

Hair was a joy right from the get go! First we crawled outta bed and shimmied into the shower. Just listening to that little fella belting out "Ain't Misbehavin'" while he slithered around on the bottom of the tub, had me grinning from ear to ear. This WAS happiness!

After the shower I made us some breakfast. Cheerios for me, and yesterday's coffee grounds for Hair. While we ate, Hair entertained me with tales of his life in Canada and how he likes to ride around atop Adven's head while eating taco chips and quoting Freud.

We finished breakfast and set off to have some fun stalking celebrities. Now, being in Michigan, you don't run across a lot of celebrities, so sometimes you have to settle for local celebs....you know...like the lady who grew the giant cucumber, or the guy who climbed to the top of the Mackinaw Bridge. You stalk who you can stalk.

But today was different. I had it on good authority that Mr. Wango Tango himself, Ted Nugent, was going to be over at the local Jay's Sporting Goods stocking up on ammo. I had my Great Gonzo's CD and I was bound and determined to get an autograph! As we drove, I told Hair all about Mr. Nugent and how exciting this escapade was going to be. Hair stood up and got a bit nervous when I mentioned that whole Cat Scratch Fever thing...but he felt a lot better when I just let him nestle between my cleavage for the rest of the ride. Silly worm! :-)

We got to Jay's and headed straight for the fishing supplies. I figured that Hair could blend in pretty easily over there while I scouted out Ted. We waited for hours. And hours. I had played with every rod (and reel) in the place and still no sign of Ted. That whole happiness thing was starting to wear mighty thin.

I was just stepping out of a pair of waders and deciding to call it a day, when all of a sudden there was a big commotion over in the camping section. I pulled Hair out of a tackle box and we raced over! Well, it seems that this couple...a really hot guy and this girl with the reddest hair I've ever seen...had gone and gotten themselves trapped together in a sleeping bag! The store manager was yelling at them to get the heck out of the sleeping bag and they were yelling right back that the zipper was stuck! I decided to intervene. I introduced them to Hair and explained to them about the Earthworm of Happiness crusade. You could practically see the tension leave their faces! I then put Hair on the zipper and let him do his little earthworm secretion thing that nobody likes to talk about. Voila...the zipper came loose! I gathered up Hair before he got caught in the zipper and placed him gently on my shoulder. People were thanking us left and right. There was genuine happiness. :-)

So, although we didn't get Ted Nugent's autograph, we ended up having quite an adventure, not to mention getting a really cool Igloo thermos from the store manager. Hair even got a little petting from the redhead.

I'd like to think we made a difference.

Lori, your story has brought a tear to this crusader's eye. Sometimes, when the caravan is on the road, just Warren and I in the front seat swapping stories, I wonder if it's all worth it. After all, Ddr may or may not have eaten hers, Mocha killed hers, Jhezzie has turned hers into an alcoholic and Juju keeps stealing them.

Then I hear a heart-warming story like yours and it's all worth it. My faith in the ability of people and worms to put aside their petty differences of the past is renewed.

Bravo, Lori. Bravo.

Today's lucky E of H recipient is < dramatic beat on the bongos > Julieboo! Julie hails from the great state of Illinois, which is spelled funny and, therefore, makes me suspicious. They also have two major league baseball teams, both who difficulty winning championships.
Julie's hobbies include being snarky with strangers and ignoring her bills. Her goal in life is to visit Paris to see if the French really are rude.

Hmmm. Can my earthworm live in my backyard or do I need to keep him inside?

Julie, you can keep him in the backyard if you like. Just keep him leashed so he doesn't become a pest in the neighborhood and don't forget the sun screen.

Also, watch out for Juju. She'll steal him from under your eyes.

Today's lucky E of H honoree is < clash of the cymbals > Mak1! Mak hails from the great state of Maine, home of the ... uhm ... just a sec ... I'm sure there's lots of great things there .... Got it! Stephen King! Stephen King is from Maine!
Mak's hobbies include, well, Stephen King, and ... that's about it. She hopes one day to write horror novels for a living.

Well, we have a Stephen King-esque theme going on in the Scruples thread, so I suppose it is only fitting :-)

Texannie, basically you just post something about how great and wonderful Adven is. If that strains your creativity, as it would for some of us, just post something with Adven's name in it a lot of times.
