Three for the road.

Well, since Craig Daniels already took three of my personal favourites... (Charles Buell, J.Phillip Faranda and ME!)... I'm forced to come up with three new ones... fortunately, here on Active Crainium, that's not difficult at all. Craig asked us to list three rainers, as part of the Three Gold Stars Challenge and post them to the new Gold Star Group. And here are three of my current faves in no particular order.

CINNAMON WRIGHT

Funny, Fabulous and something else that starts with an “F” while remaining okay for public consumption... like Fantastic or Friendly, or Feature-worthy (now why couldn't I think of those when I was trying to come up with a third one? Oh, wait... I did, didn't I?)

Cinnamon is just fun to say, (come on, say it with me... Cinnamon!! Cinn a mon!! see?) and she’s my new BFF.

Go check her out... tell her I sent you.

GREG NINO

Greg is Rare, Raucous, and Reprehensible (no, wait... that’s not right... rhymes with reprehensible?? no.... handsome?... oh, gawd no... a tall drink of water... yeah, that’s it... a Tall Drink of Water... wow, that doesn’t rhyme with reprehensible at all, does it? Oh well.)

Go visit Greg in his natural habitat... he’ll probably welcome you, but he’s just as likely to throw his feces at you (oh, so that explains the smell), and that’s why we love him... well, love might be strong word... I don’t swing that way... no really, I don’t! What makes you think I do? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).

RALPH THE REAL ESTATE DOG

c'mere... yer so cute... c'mon... c'mon.

Ralph is just cute... so cute... and he’s funny too (no, not funny looking, although he’s a little odd-looking for a Realtor, but if he wears those sunglasses, it covers those bulging eyes.)

Ralph is trying to earn enough money in order to have the corrective surgery, but meanwhile he’s obssesing about ice cream. Go obsess with him. It’s fun.

CRAIG RUTMAN

scratch Craig behind the ears, and he'll follow you anywhere.

Allright, Craig is known to most of you as our resident active rain photoshop expert. Somehow he can take his own photograph and make himself look presentable... I know... exactly, he’s just THAT good.

I think that somehow, it’s appropriate that Craig follows a canine in my list of three top dogs! (voof, voof!!). Go check him out. Do it... do it now!

Alan ~ What an interesting "array" of choices! I happen to be somewhat partial to one of them -- hmmmmm. Anyway, it's about your math . . .

Fran & Karen - Ralph... really!

J.P - it's no fair that Craig claimed you first.

Well, now, Alan, I just had to stop by thanks to Cinnamon's mention. Do I need to lend you some fingers? Three for the road - you named four. Er maybe a case of one too many somethings? LOL.

Love the connections here - had a great time following..

Why Mr Alan May, what good taste you have! I closely follow Cinnamon and Craig (perhaps a little too closely, AR has been sending me notices to lay off). Don't quite understand what that's all about. Last few of my comments comments have disappeared off their posts, must not be working,...hmmm. Don't understand they appear to be working on other posts,... go figure. Gonna have to check out Greg I guess. :)D

Well, we must say that since Cinnamon got you to respond to her, and then you also commented to us, we have to say she is a great choice.

We've caught up with Greg a couple of times and like his sense of humor that he incorporates.

Ralph the Real Estate Dog, hmmmm, hmmmm hmmmm?

And Mr Craig Rutman, When someone puts a smile on your face everyday with his wacky sense of humor, what's not to like!

Well done Mr. May!

Alan, I just can't thank you enough for failing 1st grade math! Had it not been for that, I wouldn't have made it to your list today!

I didn't know about this challenge, but you are definitely one of my favorites here in the Rain. Anyone who hasn't subscribed to you is not taking full advantage of their experience here in the Rain.

As a service to you and your readers, you can click here for a little math review!

And, at the risk of the being permanently flogged from your blog by posting a link to my blog, I wanted everyone to know just how awesome you are. So here is the link to Alan's Awesomeness....

Home is where the hearth is.

Margaret - I thought they were good choices, too (a little concerned about that rutman character, though... he's kind of a "hound".)

Juli - don't know what you're talking about... let's see.... one, two.... three... .and rutman... yep... three!

Chris - one of my favourite fragrances (Calvin Klein's Obsession - cinammon-infused fragrance).

Lynn - oh, nobody loves me more than me... I'm so proud of me!

Laura - yeah, those restraining orders are a bitch, aren't they?

Larry & Sheila - hmm.. apparently Ralph needs a new publicist.

Craig - the flogging will begin when you least expect it ... (as usual... no "safe" word, this time)... but this link... let me see, I'll check with the judges.... Judges rule: "We'll allow it!"
