A Touching Walk on the Beach

In 2014 our friend Karin went to Cuba. She recorded her walk on the beach on her final day of vacation. She let Scribbles create a video using her ocean footage. We just stumbled across that video and decided to feature it again. Particularly poignant now that Karin is truly an angel.

SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Rockin' Around with Scribbles

The holidays are here and so is a brand new Scribbles Christmas-themed Video. 

In recent years, we have introduced you to Storytime Mr. Sock, a Winter Ready Mr. Sock (wearing a toque and scarf and carrying a snow shovel), a jolly Santa Mr. Sock and our personal favourite Rudolph Mr. Sock (with a red nose that lights up, because what would Rudolph be without it?) 

This year's Christmas Mr. Sock is also bright and shiny. Can you guess what he is? Luckily, you don't have to. You can simply sit back and enjoy the show.

Happy Holidays!

Scribbles MINI CLIP | Elton Sock's Blinged Eyewear

When I was blinging out Sir Elton Sock's eyewear, I wondered why I hadn't already done this.

 
Those shiny jewels came off in strips so it was easy to stick them on Elton Sock's glasses (which are actually a pair of kiddie sunglasses from Dollartree.)

 
I also fixed Elton's necklace, which had fallen apart during his debut performance in Mr. Sock's Halloween Party.

 
Here we are discussing his new bling.

POETRY | Techno Orphan Annie by Lorenzo Cromwell

Our Scribbles friend Lorenzo Cromwell wrote the following poem, which we are thrilled he gave us permission to use. Since Lorenzo said it best, here's his intro followed by his poem.

"I wonder how many of you have memorized important phone numbers?" asked Lorenzo. 

"What happens when you forget your phone, or it goes dead with no way to charge? We have become so dependent on our technology. Here is a poem I wrote about a situation that happened to me a month ago.

  

Techno Orphan Annie

I learned what it means to be orphaned in a modern way,

When all my gadgets silently failed me that day.

I went to the café and the visit was sweet,

My friend was gracious, jovial, and full of upbeat.

We spoke of rhyme, of reason, of stars and of sky,

Never once did we mention where written treasons lie.

The hours drifted onward, dusk slipped into night,

He spun topics like silk — each theme woven tight.

The company was golden, the laughter precise,

He said we could solve all the world’s woes — and twice.

At last we agreed it was time to depart,

A sudden dread echoed like thunder in my heart.

I reached for my keys — but no keys could be found,

I’d have to seek rescue when I got back downtown.

Yet worse — in that moment — the shock hit like ice,

My phone had died — and I paid the full price.

“No trouble at all,” said my friend then and there,

“I’ll drive you home swiftly — we’ll slice through the air.”

We arrived at my building and took our farewell,

We said we should gather again — and often as well.

But stepping out — I realized the second cruel twist,

No fob for the door — another thing missed!

So there on the street I was stranded, alone,

An orphan of gadgets with no key — and no phone.

He said “No fear — I will solve this right quick!”

He searched up my partner — clever, resourceful, slick.

There were many with that same name — several, in fact,

But we hunted and dialed — persistence intact.

Down came my partner to see what was amiss,

And my friend drove away with a wave — like this.

A lesson was learned in that neon-lit night,

We are bound to our devices far more than feels right.

We think we are free — bold, autonomous — unlinked,

Yet modern life ties us tighter than we think."

Flutter, Flutter

Hey boys & girls, today's word is Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC). What is that you ask? It is "a heart rhythm disorder corresponding to a premature contraction of one of the chambers of the heart. Often they cause no symptoms but may present with fluttering in the chest or a skipped beat. They typically have no long-term complications."

Well, I have that. I woke up around 3 am with terrible neck pain, tingling in left arm, sweaty, hot and a fluttering in my heart. As most of you know, I have chronic neck and back pain and it has been pretty nasty the last few days. I see a chiropractor on Monday. But the fluttering part was what scared me, so after a bit of "should I or shouldn't I?", I called 911.

 
The paramedics arrived quickly and got me in the ambulance, hooked me up to stuff and they could see the flutter thing I was describing on the heart monitor thing. I'd say "there's one" when I felt the flutter and they'd say "Yes, we see that", it was a fun game with them looking at the monitor and me telling them "there's one, there's one".

 
The hospital was not too busy (a rarity) and I soon found myself in a cubicle, being attended to by nurses. They did lots of blood tests, EKG's etc. The doctor determined I have PVC. When I told him who my family doctor is, he had great praise for him. "Dr. Oelofse is a very good doctor" he said. All the info will be sent to Dr. O., whom I see on Dec. 10. 

I was released around 8 am. When I left I had to go through the emergency waiting room. Anyone who has been there knows how packed it can get. How many people do you think were in the waiting room? Would you believe it was TWO. I had NEVER seen that room so empty.

 
I am greatly relieved to know what I am dealing with and that it was not more serious. Still have the neck pain crap, which you'd think I would be used to considering I've been dealing with it for 45 fucking years. Looking forward to seeing the chiropractor on Monday.

I have much of the Best Cartoon Characters results video completed and hope to not make you wait too much longer.

Who Will the Audience Accuse?

Dunnville Community Theatre Presents Murder’s in the Heir by Billy St. John 

It’s a will reading like no other. When the wealthy Simon Starkweather gathers his family and staff to announce the details of his estate, it sets off an evening of shocking twists, sharp-tongued humor, and a murder that could only happen in a house full of suspects.

This interactive whodunit by Billy St. John transforms the classic mystery into a live game of Clue. Every character has a motive, every moment is suspicious—and the audience gets to decide the ending. At intermission, spectators cast their votes for the killer, and the cast performs the finale that matches the audience’s verdict.

“Murder’s in the Heir is a perfect blend of comedy, suspense, and audience participation,” says Gordon Huffman, director of the production. “No two performances are exactly alike, which keeps the show fresh and fun every night.”

Performance Details:

Dates: November 21/22/28/29 at 7:00 p.m. and November 23/30 at 2:00 p.m.
Venue: St. Michael’s Parish Hall – 201 Alder Street West, Dunnville, Ontario
Tickets: Tickets are available online at DCT73.com or at the Art Service,152 Queen St., Dunnville, Ontario
