<DIV><SPAN class=217484222-05012004>Now let me get this straight. The
Threat Level is High and yet our intrepid Groopies Janet & Elie manage to
get into the Pentagon employee's parking lot and then get out by squeezing
through an exit barrier, all the while unchecked and undetected. Boy, I
sure feel secure. Of course it was almost midnight. I'm sure that's
way, way past mandated terrorist bedtime. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=217484222-05012004>I definitely think there is a Grooism in the
story, but I'm not sure it's Janet & Elie's. Perhaps "Code Orange
Procedures" are Groo procedures and that's why the color matches Groo's
jerkin. -Gary "Way Behind Eric & Larry in Posts"

the New Year<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>We had our first Grooism of the year. I detail it over at my blog
(see link below), under the entry "Adventures in Homeland Security" (not to be
confused with "Further Adventures in Homeland Security," detailing my first
individual Grooing of 2004), but, in sum, we took a wrong turn and gate
crashed The Pentagon on New Year's Day.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We also decided it would be fun to wear our Groo shirts while touring the
nation's capitol. Although we don't have a way to show them to you
(unless someone has some website space to spare), we have pictures of us in
our Groo t-shirts with the following:</DIV>
<DIV>Robert E. Lee's house in Arlington National Cemetery (me)</DIV>
<DIV>The Wright Flyer (Elie)</DIV>
<DIV>Oscar the Grouch (me)</DIV>
<DIV>An original Apple computer (Elie)</DIV>
<DIV>Archie Bunker's Chair (Elie)</DIV>
<DIV>(all but the first one are from the Smithsonian)</DIV>
<DIV>Also, though neither of us are in the picture, Elie got a great shot of a
jerkin orange sign on the door of the Department of Agriculture that reads
"Threat Level HIGH Code Orange Procedures in Place."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Happy New Year, a few days late.</DIV>
