I remember Santa. Once, after I awoke from a drunken haze, I could have sworn I saw Santa, leaving me presents under my tree. Unfortunately, it was August and it wasn't Santa, it was a dog. It wasn't a tree, either. It was a park bench and that was no "present!"

Jhezzie, I loved the above post. I give it a ROTF, which is much better than your standard LOL. And with that, today's E of H honoree is <a few strums on a flamingo guitar> Jhezzie! Jh, your worm awaits you in your member's folder. Jhezzie hails from the great state of New Mexico, home to the worldest's largest gathering of New Mexicans. Her hobbies include creating designer jewellry for the homeless and challenging total strangers to arm wrestling contests. She hopes one day to open her own Eel On A Stick stand.

Sorry I'm soooo late!!! I was so stoked to see the worm that I scooped it up and took it out on the town. First, we went to One Flag Over Atrisco where me and the worm played 'Drive-by Shooting Gallery!' Then, we played 'Dunking For Crack,' followed by a stop at the 'If You'll Eat It, We'll Fry It.' Yumm! Next, we went to Target for some bottled water and sunscreen. Didn't want the little fellow to dry out. He wanted to see authentic Native Americans, or Indians, as they are known here, so we ventured to Old Town. One thing I learned the hard way: worms and turquoise jewelry don't mix! Thank Heavens that concho belt landed the way it did...shudder. Anyway, I was still hungry, so we found a seat at Duran's and had some green chile enchiladas. Well, I did. I guess worms don't do chile. Oh well, more for me! Here's where it gets a little fuzzy. We cruised along for a while, saw sights and decided it was cocktail time. Can't beat the Rio Grande Cantina for margaritas and teq shots on a warm, sunny day. Who knew a worm could drink like that? I thought I could hold my own, but damn! Somewhere, during the 7th round, I sort of remember a suggestion of dancing and, not remembering who drove, we ended up downtown. I'm still looking for my...nevermind. Have any of you ever stayed at the Hyatt Regency? I don't know if I can go back, but it's sure nice. Adven, the worm's fine. If he looks a bit worse for wear, just spray him with some Evian. He'll plump right up again! Thanks again. Most fun I've had in the month of March since 1993.

LOL Jhezzie! All my worm wants to do is drink beer and watch QVC all day. I had to hide my credit cards from him cause he was purchasing way too many things. At least your worm takes you out on the town. AND I caught him in garden shed with the hoe doing things I can't mention here.

Jhezzie, I do believe you corrupting that worm. Remember, E of H's are all about peace and harmony, not drunken revellry and blackouts. I am glad you remembered the sun screen, though. I'm surprised the two of you didn't try to drink it. Today's E of H honoree is < a brief tickle of the ivories > Bigd! Bigd hails from the great state of ... well, I'm not sure. Anyway, she's employed as a ... hmm, I don't know that one either. She may or may not be married, has somewhere between 0 and 40 kids and enjoys, well, all kinds of stuff, I'm sure.

Today's E of H honoree is < loud blart of the church organ > Resortgirl! Congrats, RG! Your E of H awaits you in your member's folder. RG hails from the great state of Minnesota, land of too many lakes to mention. The place is just crawling with them. I'm surprised half the population hasn't drowned. RG's hobbies include saving string and avoiding the neighbors. She is the host of the top-rated game show, "Bowling For Tuna". Some little known Minnesota facts: 1. I don't live there. 2. State flag: I have no idea. 3. State motto: Where'd all these lakes come from? 4. State bird: the pteradactyl.

Don't be modest, RG. You are as deserving of this prestigous honor as anyone on the board - with the possible exception of me, and I just hand them out. That's the beauty of this crusade. Everyone gets one, it's just a question of when. Tess, Kar and Mocha have already received one and it has changed their lives. The rest you mention will be visited by the E of H, but I only do one a day so this is a bit of a marathon. In fact, they can't escape getting one. They can run, but the worms and I will find them.

The Earthworm has been lovingly ported and primed, and is now ready for action with the next recipient. This titular annelid can grab his own wormy body and whip himself around to reach high places at times when you least expect. It is however, quite delightful. And even though this is decidedly wacky stuff, I highly recommend the experience. There are a few things maybe you ought to know in advance though. Can earthworms lose their clitellum? Unfortunately yes! But with special care this can be avoided. But you should know that during periods of drought, when soils dry up, some species of earthworms do in fact temporarily lose all secondary sexual characters such as the clitellum. When conditions become favorable, it comes back. The clitellum can also disappear at the onset of old age or senescence. You may ask yourself - what is senescence? I know I did but, you don’t want to go there. Have fun and take good care of him.

Hmmmmm....one dictionary says senescence is "decaying by time" while another describes it as the "opposite of cancer".... ADVEN....is Warren OK??? He hasn't contracted anything has he? BigD's scaring me! Our little E of H should only be described in warm fuzzy terms. These scientific forrays make him sound less handsome, wholesome and ....well...wormlike. I'm going back to read Jezz's day...that will cheer me up (and reassure me that Warren is one barrel of fun worm!)

Bigd, what a hoot!! That was priceless. Looking at your diagram, I notice that the worm's mouth and anus look disturbingly alike. I think they may be distantly related to my ex in-laws. And I'm all too familiar with the disappearance of clitellum. Teach, these forays into the scientific are no cause for alarm. The E of H remains the same warm, cuddly and, as Jh has pointed out, drunken icon we have all come to know and love. I'm off to round up today's lucky winner and drag them kicking and screaming back to this thread.

Today's teary-eyed winner of the Earthworm of Happiness is < rousing fanfare on the kazoo > Littlec!! Littlec, your E of H awaits you in your member's folder. Like Resortgirl, Littlec hails from the great state of Minnesota. Her hobbies include impersonating Elvis and plugging her ears and screaming when someone says something she disagrees with. Her primary goal in life is to become a yak rancher.

Here is what me and Warren did today. First off we had a little scare. Juju visited my folder and took a little rest and we thought we had lost poor Warren to a violent death but luck turns out it was one of my worms that I use for fishing. After all the confusion me and Warren went off for the day. He is such a happy little worm. We worked on my garden he is so amazing with garden tools. Then after that it was time to practice for the Elvis convention. Warren is a very good singer. He looked so cute with the little wig and the blue suede shoes. Then after the hard day of work it was time to relax. We sat down by the fire and enjoyed a few cocktails. Did you know that Warren can dance? He did a dance called the worm and he was very good. Well we are both so tired now so we are going to get a good nights rest so he will be ready for his next buddy to bless with his presence.
