This is my story!
1. Welcome to Diddem Daddem, the home of Willy Waddum, the fisherman who can really spottem! There ain't no fisherman like Willy Waddum! And their ain't no fish he can't catch! Some say its his uncanny ability to sense where the fish are. As the story goes, he was born with a built in fish finder in his chest! He has been witnessed time and time again, laying on the bottom of his boat using that internal fish finder to locate and navigate to all the fish! It's quite the marvel! But the locals of Diddum Daddem know that's just one big fish story! When Willy Waddum climbs into the boat, what really happens is that he lays down and naps until the boat runs outa gas! When it stops, that's where he throws his hook in! The truth of the matter is, he's just darn lucky and well.....lazy!! Always has been, always will be! The community puts up with him because he is so famous! People come from near and far to witness his fishing skills! He brings alot of money into the community especially during annual fishing tournaments and when the Diddem Daddem Chamber of Commerce hosts the annual Willy Waddum Gottem Parade which celebrate's Willy's accomplishments for the year. The town's economic success is 100% due to the accomplishments of, or should I say, the luck and laziness of Willy Waddum!
2. It's stressful times in Diddem Daddem! The locals are worried! Willy Waddum's cousin introduced him to chewing tabacco and he's always so hiped up now that he can't fall asleep in the boat which has begun to look a little fishy to Willy's fans! If he is not laying down in the boat, how can Willy Waddum Spottem? As Willy's luck would have it, one day he forgot his bait and threw some chew on his hook! The town folk know it's Willy's good luck that brings the fish to the hook, not the Chew, but The Mayor and 42,000 locals know a marketing opportunity when they see one! So, Diddem Daddem Waddum Chew was born! Its selling like hotcakes! And once Willy wins this tournament, the town can breathe a sign of relief and get back to covering up for Willy's luck and laziness! The are all looking forward to next week's tournament and increased tobacco sales!
3. The tournament is here! The fish are abundant! The competition has begun!
Down in a meadow
In an itty bitty pool
There were two little fishies
And a can of Willy's Chew!
Swim said the fishies,
Swim if you can
So they swam and they swam
Right up to the can!
Boop Boop Wanna Wadda Willy's Chew?
Boop Boop Wanna Wadda Willy's Chew?
Boop Boop Wanna Wadda Willy's Chew?
So they swam and they swam
Right up to the can!
It's Chew cried a fishie!
Should we open that can?
Why not said the other,
It belongs to that man!
So two little fishies
Opened up that can!
And they swam and they swam.
Right into a jam!
Boop Boop Wanna Wadda Willy's Chew?
Boop Boop Gotta Wadda Willy's Chew!
Boop Boop Wanna Allotta Willy's Chew?
Stuff your gill, get your fill
Time to have us a thrill!
Wee squealed the fishies,
We are spittin' some chew!
Wee squealed the fishes,
Look at us, we're so cool!
They swam and they spit,
Then began to feel ick!
It's the chew, who knew,
It would make us so sick!
Boop Boop Diddem Daddem Waddum Chew!
Boop Boop Diddem Daddem Waddum Chew!
Boop Boop Diddem Daddem Waddum Chew!
It's a scam, so they swam.
Far away from that can!
4. Rut roh! The fish are not having it, Willy's luck has run out! He can't catch a thing and the Mayor and 42,000 citizens don't know how they are gonna pay for the new tea house the Mayor's wife plans on opening in the fall! The new tea house??? Really? A new tea house in Diddem Daddem? Will they serve cookies?
Bring Fish! Lots of them! I don't care what you bring as long as it gets lotsa fish in Willy's boat! You can even bring replacement fishermen who are really talented! You can bring all the new and improved bait (I hear cashews, sunflower seeds, and pineapple juice are all the rage in bait right now!) You can bring boats, fishing gear, poles, tackle boxes, fishing vests, fish finders, waders, boots and custom flies! Heck if you want to, bring your own lake! Just make sure the fish in it know they are getting caught by Willy! It's meant to be, we must get our tea!
Want extra cookies? Bring a strawberry! Tee hee! I bet you are wondering why, you can find out by checking out the Destination Station thread this week!
CHALLENGE TRANSLATION:
I probably really don't need to translate this week as the story pretty much maps out the challenge requirements. Maybe its time for a little reminder that Teapot Tuesdays really doesn't have any hard and fast rules, no challenge police. You just have to drink tea and not eat all the cookies! Easy peasy! Snort!
DESTINATION STATION:
This week's destination is Buckhannon, West Virginia. If you would like a destination for your card this week, how about sending it to Colton. Colton Dean is a 10 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, which is a form of bone cancer. He is a 5th grader at Union Elementary School. Colton's teachers and fellow classmates have made it their mission to get lots of cards mailed to Colton at the school to support him and brighten his days.
Colton was brought to my attention by
Pat Smethers who noticed a request for cards posted by
Loribelle in the Need a Lift Forum. For more information on Colton, here is a
link to the original post by Lori and please visit
Post #228 in the Destination Station Thread for more information including the address to mail your card to. Please remember that just because you participate in a Teapot Tuesday challenge that is combined with a card drive request, it does not mean that you are REQUIRED to send your cards. It is strictly voluntary.
Here is
my card.
Here is the
awesome card that Lori (Loribelle) made for Colton. This is also Lori's very first challenge! We are honored its a Teapot Tuesday challenge! Whoot!
