DATo, I have been pronouncing your name correctly all along! All hail to the Grand Day-toe with the old shoes! - hahaha.

Please excuse my temporary hiatus from the party. I was on my speaking tour as Member Of The Month and have only just returned. There was a crowd of six people and a cocker spaniel gathered at K-Mart to welcome me and I was flattered beyond words when one of them asked for my autograph. An argument then ensued over the correct pronunciation of my name which resulted in one person being hit over the head with a "Book Readers For DATo" poster and another being bitten by the dog. After I got out of jail for inciting a riot I took a bus back to the Book Reading And Discussion Forums and here I am.

==========================================

@hsimone "Do you have your turkey that November MOTM is supposed to wear?"

Yes, but I have been having trouble adjusting to it.

==============================================

@anonanemone - Thank you so much anonanemone, and all your little friends are more than welcome to join us - I just love the ~~~~~~~~~wave~~~~~~~~~~~~ they are doing *LOL*

==============================================

@Graverobber - Your new autumn raiment is absolutely fetching. A perfect adornment to my party ! I think the "Peanuts" kids quite accurately depict our festivities. WHAT A GREAT PARTY! The last time I got this much attention was when my "Wanted For Vagrancy" picture was hung up at the post office *L*

==============================================

Thank you all for coming to my party. GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE !!!!! (ooops, sorry for the multiple exclamation marks @Fran but I'm just so excited I no longer know what I am doing.)

@DATo
You are really getting into this aren't you? I'm concerned with how you are going to cope with the inevitable deflation when when the month is over, the red carpet is rolled up & the autograph hunters go back to doing the shopping?
Hope you have your therapist on speed dial.

@DATo, that turkey is way better than what I thought! You just made my day! You might consider poking holes through your turkey in order to see. But it's looking pretty good!!

This party is fantastic! I've got the music! Hope you all like to very fast-paced banana music! :banana-guitar: :banana-guitar: :banana-guitar: :banana-guitar:
