Dick Van Dyke stars as Aquaman as he summons the creatures of the deep to his aid.
I have taken a quick hiatus from my Blog and will attempt to keep in touch on a more frequent basis, my thanks to Rob Chappell ( aka: RChaps ) for his badgering me into finding decent material to blog upon.
You see mine peeps, this blogger does not just blog about the mundane nor upon the commonplace. This blogger dares to blog upon untread waters like the riveting story of a black youth determined to save his sisters decency while showing his own lyrical talents or the fanged menace of Grant Park that was outdone by a toddler and his Mommy.
This is why I bring to you today another in my Holy Grail of Comedic Fashioning:
1) The Stars of Hollywood...and in a more highly held regard those who once thought themselves to be Stars of Hollywood.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you one Mr. Dick Van Dyke...( wait for applause )....( waited long enough )....
Mr. Van Dyke it seems is a spry , geriatric surfer of some renown. It also appears that Mr. Van Dyke has made his geriatric surfing even more extreme by mixing in a little dash of "Power-Nap".
I am also a fan of the power nap. It is a great way to recharge the battery and can actually be more beneficial than the same amount of time spent during regular evening sleep. I even had a water bed during my formulative years ( thanks Mom and Dad ) , I was a splishing and a splashing...oh, yeah! Splish Splash.
Well, I don't recall ever taking a nap and yearning for the comfortable embrace of a neoprene wetsuit , nor the fluffy tenderness of a fiberglass surf board with carnuba wax to take me to lala land. This may be where the Hollywood Stars gain their great level of fame by combining the seemingly uncombinable...but I veer of track..I apologize.
It seems Mr. Van Dyke , impersonating Rip Van Winkel, impersonating Kelly Slater has enjoyed such a hearty power nap he has drifted out into open water and this is where I believe I must intervene in this story...
I think Dick Van Dyke just watched Castaway with true Hollywood Star , Mr. Tom Hanks...or as my daughter would say the guy that sounds like Woody from Toy Story. In one scene Tom Hanks is awoken while adrift at sea by a Whale. This Whale seems to be a Harbinger of Rescue as shortly there after a cargo ship saves a loin clothed Tom Hanks at sea only to later have his dreams crushed by Big from Sex in The City and the chick from Mad About You.
But, to keep with the story here Dick is certain a mystical throng of life saving dolphins have gotten word of his powernapping, ten hanging exploits and are on the way to rescue him from certain death by floating. This is most certainly when the theme track in his mind began playing Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows .
Luckily, Mr. Van Dyke will make a full recovery and the Dolphin Rescue Crew have landed a recurring morning cartoon show with Nickelodeon which will premier shortly after Mr. Van Dyke remembers that he was imagining the whole episode. Here's hoping!
