I'll bet Leslie Riggs has some un-tapped talent..
Despite the painted-on smile, the vacant eyes and world-weary exterior.. Look past the blue glasses and those nerve tablets, you'll find a pent-up aggression– a dam waiting to burst, and I want to be there when it happens, like what Mr. Rigsby hoped for with Ms, Jones.
Ah, Ms. Riggs, you're like a finely-tuned piano: upright and finely strung. The hands are poised, the baton's raised, yet, still our song's unsung!
See these fingers? [Holds up one hand and wiggles four fingers] Pianists fingers! They're ready to play! Come on, whaddya say? Lemme run me hand over your keyboard Ms. Riggs! No, I'm classically trained! I promise to stick close to the flat notes!
Oh, you want to stay away from these forums, Ms. Riggs. Don't waste your time on those young upstarts, those ill-tempered, immature associates. Look at me! You're looking at a veteran. Yes, I've been there and back, again. Look at that profile, eh, what? Classic!
Yes, some have got it, and some haven't. And I've got "it"! Trouble is, I don't seem to get much chance to use it!
It's later than you think, Ms. Riggs, and what I'm trying to say is, let's throw caution to the wind and gather rosebuds while we may! I was wondering if you'd like to come down tonight for a bite of supper? Just done up some potted meat sandwiches, managed to keep the cat off most of them! Perfectly informal, of course, so no need to dress.. Well, when I say no need to dress, not that you should show up in your Harvest Festivals..
Let's go down to the sea, Ms. Riggs. Come on, let your fancy fly! Where there's deck chairs and dodge-em's and steak-and-kidney pie! Ha!
Abroad? Oh, no you don't want to go too far offland. It's much more pleasant closer to home. Think of all that dreadful heat! More strangers with protest signs, admittedly! Spain? Oh, no! Been there once. You can't get a decent cup of tea for love nor money. And, the humidity plays havoc with my bayonnet wound.
Oh, yes, I was wounded in the war. Which one? The big one, of course! [sigh] Still got some shrapnel in me leg. You know they took enough bits out of me to make a tank? Agony on a wet day! And let's not talk about catching a draft. Ugh!
Sorry, I have to go put out Vienna. That's my cat. Why's he named "Vienna"? Well, on a cold night, so cold your socks would freeze on the bottom stair, so cold and damp the weather's not fit for man nor beast and only a fool would venture five steps into the void, if I open the door and he sees a pair of eyes outside? It's "Goodnight, Vienna!"
[Now, there's some fiction to counter the fiction of the original post!]
Surely this is sarcasm😁.
If not, Don or Lisa must think very highly of themselves to take the time to write this. Lol!
I have no words!
Bahahaha. WHT ?
Haha...you asked me to chime in....
Obviously this is sarcasm and/or an effort to troll the site for cliks. Seems to have worked.
Stay safe and be well, and also for many, stay warm. Laughing at all those customers coming in for shorts this time of year and huffing that "it never gets cold in these parts and why don't we have shorts and swimwear?" Course I also remember ice sc-apers and ear muffs in the southern most of Florida stores.
BelkieBear, take it away!
Ok this episode of the Twilight Zone is over😂😂🤣🤣
Wait...this is satire, right? Sarcasm?
I now am expecting to here at the up coming Bankruptcy hearing that Plenty of investors will want to bid Billions to get this dynamic organization back on Track . I would not be surprise to see LISA and Don invest their millions into the future of BELK. The problem is the risk is not worth the rewards. LIsa legacy is she served two master and the result was Sycamore mission was accomplished she got a high return on investment and bankrupt BELK.
Did "the dynamic" Don write this? Or the "rare talent" Leslie?
Lemme have a sip of the grape kool-aid.. Mmmmm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Where do I line up to kiss the ring!
