After the Great Periwinkle Blight of 1971 killed off most of what Chris’s parents and 11 siblings had harvested from the shoals of Bray Head to the eddies of the River Aughrim (not to mention the River Haskell), Chris stowed away on a steamer bound for Brasil, where the cheeky young upstart had hoped to find work as a butt-lifter on Ipanema Beach. Frustrated in his early attempts to do his part to make his adopted country famous for its peoples’ high-slung—indeed, heaven-bound!—backsides, he was forced to take a number of menial, low-paying, or dangerous jobs (as a phrenologist’s assistant, as canary teaser in an upsidasium mine, and as lube man on the set of the high-budget porn production, Lift Mine) before eventually finding his way to the Hipódromo da Gávea, where for the better part of a holiday weekend he served as placing judge, morning line maker, and pastry crimper.

What happened after that scandalous turn with the petits fours at the Gávea bakery remains shrouded in mystery. For her part, the redoubtable (and notoriously secretive) Mônica Rodrigues Carvalho denies any prolonged romantic involvement with the peripatetic NoCal ascetic: “Chris e eu somos apenas amigos--de verdade!”

Isso mesmo !!!

I was born in Richmond, California --- I just remembered. I was wont to linger at the neighboring Haskell household, admiring the matriarch as she laved away at the Whirlpool machine (in amana-rough speakin').

My sojourn in Brasil featured a stint as an assistant to a dentista veterinaria serving orphaned piranhas. I also drove a taxi under the nom de guerre of Passos Dias Aguiar ... . My job as a counselor to teenage Brasilian virgins earned for me the nickname of O Restaurador Meitague (The Maytag Repairman). Rampant frustration ensued when I took a job in Colombia as a procurer for an avian-intensive pet store. I spent all my days (until my dismissal) chasing the prized Cali Pigeons; alas, to no avail. Oh, well ... you can lead a Cartagena ...


I am a member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society, of Christians for Baha'u'llah, and of People for the Ethical Treatment of Heavily Armed Survivalists. I am a charter member of Burn Baby Burn, a loosely knit, generally ruly, often trepid band of globewarming squatters. Our frequent luaus feature gasoline-soaked truck tires in the cookfire. Mmm ... good cracker. (:Rubbing stummy.)

It's hockey night, eh ?

You got that right! I'm in Wheat King city. I'm just wondering if you aren't related to bpiets?

[toetoe]

Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Martin and Lewis.......who said comedy duos are a thing of the past? Not here at PA.......

I came into this thread for one reason - to wish the final seven all the best.
Wish I was playing, but just couldn't keep pace. A long layoff is necessary.

Good luck to all finalists!
