Poulty puns
Our friend Arthur Levine is the Theme Park “Guide” at About.com. He loves puns. And he’s really good at finding less-obvious ones.

He’s on the road again, our Holidog. You may remember he arrived in the mail just prior to Christmas and then whisked off to Florida for the colder months. Now he’s heading west. And apparently, he’s driving. A dog’s got to eat, right? So our little tourist made a point of chowing down at the…

Excuse me – Brown Dog’s Day? This just in from our traveling friend, Holidog: French Creek Freddie, Shubenacadie Sam, Claude the Crawfish, and, of course, Punxsutawney Phil. All famous prognosticators. And now, after receiving my training through a Sally Struthers online course, I’m one too. In fact, I’m the world’s first dog-nosticator. I replaced Gator-nosed…

I kid you not. This award exists. And in a few weeks, that award will be proudly displayed here at Holiday World. I’m afraid I may have offended Steve a bit; I grinned and started laughing when he told me about the Outstanding Concrete Achievement Award. “You’re joking, right?” I chuckled.

Holidog’s voyage? I guess this shouldn’t surprise me. After all, my parking spot here at work is just a few spaces down from one marked “Santa Claus.” But … … I just received an email from Holidog Complete with pictures! Here’s some of the message: In celebration of our new themed area, I have decided…

Still losing the battle of the emails. (At last count, I’d reduced my Inbox from 154 to 129 emails. All were full of questions.) Since so many folks are asking the same questions, here are some quick answers. 1. Yes, the HoliBlog will continue. 2. Yes, the HoliBlog will provide ongoing construction updates and photos….

About.com’s Arthur Levine is a man after my own heart. (Oh, wait — we’re not adding a Valentine’s Day section, so I can quit the misleading references. This could be a hard habit to break.) No matter how many Voyage puns I come up with, Arthur squeezes a few more out. Much to my delight!…

How nice is this? Petal pushers! Heading out to the Front Gate to meet with yet another travel writer last Friday morning, I saw two nice-looking fellows standing by the Group Sales building, holding a bouquet of flowers. How sweet. Maybe someone’s getting engaged. Or meeting up with old friends. Well, I was half right….
