... and 25 other magic forums.

And I finally wore all that stuff out. In fact, the day I chain sawed my leg, Gloria used some of those scissors to clean up the leg b4 sewing me up. With a liberal dose of moonshine, on the leg, in the doctor (Gloria) and in the tabman I must add.

Thanks again for that great visit in Tennessee.

Tabby,

You don't live that far away now. You and Gloria should come see us. Then we'll go to the clinic and raid Lucy's stash of strange tools. (We can help some fish out of our lake too. They hardly have room to swim.)

You Know You're Spending Too Much Time with Magic When... you have more half finished props than ones ready to use.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate that. Right now I don't feel comfortable getting more than 15 or 20 minutes away from my Mamas house. She's a genuine antique at 87 and the reason I returned to the cotton patch, to be here for her when she needs me all in an effort to be a good son and make up for all the years I traveled and was never around.

And I'd spend even more time with magic if I had it. I'm thankful for the shop and for friends and fans.

The funny thing about this thread to me is that theres no way to spend too much time with magic IMO.

You have a thumb tip in your pocket. (OK, who DOESN'T have a thumb tip in their pocket?

You have 8 pens that can penetrate a dollar bill...

... You email your friends about what stores have the best deals on bikes and we mean playing cards.

Someone's at the cash register and you're still typing some nonsensical thaumaturgical equation that only qoudlibetical prestidigitators can understand, comprehend and absorb and they're meakly calling out "Is anyone here?" but you don't care because you'll never see them again but you know that you'll run into someone here.

... you practice and rehearse the whole day developing your new act.

You don't know who is in the playoffs, but you know all the magic award winners in each category...

... you know who are the ones that have not been posting at the Café since last week.

... you can spot a change in avatar on The Magic Café.

You admit to being a Café addict...

... you can think of silly magic gags just to amuse yourself.
