I was thinking, you know how those Masons and Elks and those OTHER Mooses have secret handshakes and passwords??????
Well, we could have our very own secret Blunderite password!! Now you know how I hate to go on about "32 cents", but I thought we could use it all around the world to identify each other in complete secrecy.
Like I could be in the street on a visit to Portland and I see a guy wearing a T with Arlo on it. Now maybe he just got it at the Opp Shop 'coz it was cheap, but he could be a genuine Blunderite. So I could just walk up to him and say "Hey Man, Have you got change for 32cents???" Either he'll look at me funny, or a knowing look of recognition will pass between us without anyone else noticing. Heck it might even be Goofus!!This of course would be very useful during flights when people on THE LIST may be under careful scrutiny. Like Cliffite might be on a Qantas flight to OZ for Blunder Downunder and hear someone mention Alice's. He could just casually strike up a conversation by saying.. "Boy!! This flight to OZ is pretty expensive!! $1,ooo dollars and 32cents" and the other person might answer, with a knowing look in their eye, "Well mate you should try paying from the other way, in OZ dollars it's $1,500 dollars and 32cents." Even the runway sniffing guy would never pick up the fellowship that had passed between the two Blunderground members.
Waddaya think?????????????

Sounds good, Weezie. I think we should push for a new 32c coin in this country with Arlo on one side and a giant clam on the other. You can use that coin in Oz and Europe to pay for 25c items.

Louise, how incredibly creative you are! I love it...

Louise, you are such a bright, creative, smart, thoughtful & decisive Blunderite indeed!
I think that is just the '32 cents' we've been needing!
You never fail to put a smile in my heart!
Jolly Good Work, Mate!

I think if we were to have a secret password, we should let Groucho Marx chose it.
That way, if we guess it, we all get to divide $100.00, and we get to see a duck with a cigar in it's beak.

That is funny, Louise. Brings back a memory of an old friend of mine who passed away too young.

He had a lot of connections to get tickets to sold-out concerts, & whenever he'd arrange a ticket for me, his instructions would be something like this:

"Go to the student union at CMU [that's Carnegie Mellon Universtiy] & stand by the candy machine. Somebody will come by & say, 'The Juju Bees look good' & you answer, 'Try the Snickers.'"

No LARRRR I'll never give up on 32cents!!
I'll go to my grave........
36 years from now Louise lays on her death bed..... Her family lean closer to hear her dying words........... From her slackened lips they hear her whisper faintly......
"32...cents.." as a snow globe of The Church
rolls from her hand onto the floor......

It may also bring me my 15 mins of fame....
It's August '06, Louise ,Shel and Cliffite are sitting in the intimate, darkened
concert hall at the Kedron-Wavell Services Club in Brisbane......
The concert is going well until a few WANKERS (you know the ones I mean) start geting up and yelling "Play Alices!!!!"
Arlo ignores them and continues to talk about his next number........ when from the front row he hears a voice wickedly say....." by the way adg, what about 32cents....." Arlo raises his hand over the top of his eyes to shield them from the stage lights and trys to make out who said it, then says questioningly (is that a word Shel??)... "Is that YOU Louise!!!!!!!!) and they all turn towards me in the hall there............. (in real life I would probably die from embarrasment of course)
