How to create your own vaudeville show......

It's easy to get rich on your own vaudeville show, all you need to add is a little weather!  Here in North Carolina, most citizens rush to the store for their milk, eggs, TP, bread and beer if there's the threat of "wintery" mix in the forecast, winter mix is code for that freezing rain or what we like to refer to as "snizzle" a mixture of snow and drizzle!  So put a thin code of ice on the roads and in front of your house and you've got your own vaudeville show.  Picture this:

We start with Mom letting poochie out for the morning consitutional.  Poochie goes running out the door ready to read the morning papers of dog poop and pee in the yard,  however when her paws hit the sidewalk she goes into the frontal spin reminiscent of Tom and Jerry Episodes that end with her landing on her face in the icy grass that was the yard she was looking for.

Mom laughs and walks out to Poochie, only to find herself lying on her back in sidewalk looking up at the snizzle falling from the sky.  Poochie wants to come over to her but putting another foot on the ice and she's sliding by.  Kids at this point are laughing at Mom and dog then running to put some shoes on.

Kids come out of the house at full force, then slide with a grace down the sidewalk all the way over to the driveway, resembling Dorothy Hamilton.  They want to have more fun so move into Roller Derby style and start running into each other trying to knock each other.  Mom, still on her back on the sidewalk looks at the boys and sees some Looney Toons action and knows she's got to take action.

Boys now run out of the house to the ice slick in the front complete with skateboarding helmets on as they run into each other.  Mom and Poochie watch the kids, shake their head then crawl back inside the house.

No one, I mean no one, is telling Dad about the ice....we've got to continue the show.

Did you have a vaudeville show in your front yard this morning?
