- I appear to have achieved United Airlines Premier status. I can't imagine how THAT happened this year … #thelongmarch #
- Frantically ducking people trying to blow up my portion of the schedule. Ha! Hee! Dodge! Parry! Thrust! Spin! #
- Also dodging (so far) business travel to UK in two weeks. #
- I am not a Frequent Flyer Number! I am a Free Man! #thelongmarch #
- When someone raises subject of Zoetermeer, NL, I break out into a "Zoot, zooty-zoot zoot!" I'm getting used to people staring at me. #b5 #
- Insanely long security line crowd at HOU. Good thing it's 2 hrs to departure because damn! #
- Aboard the little Embraer 190 jet on the way HOME. #
- Seat next to me is empty. May try to snooze on the way home. #
- There is something truly lovely about flying over a city and knowing it is yours. #
- Long time since I disembarked onto the tarmac at DIA. #

If you will permit a small correction, it’s “Ho! Ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!” (I was misremembering it too. And that first “Ha” sounds like “haha” when he does it for real rather than “run through it.”)
I knew I didn’t have the sequence correct. However, I’m pretty sure there’s at least one sequence that ends in a “Spin!” (spinning quarterstaff, interrupted by Friar Porky’s finger (?), causing Daffy to spin instead).
Yes, he didn’t get to the last two on that one (it was a small stick Friar Porky used). And when he “runs through it,” his bill folds up on “Thrust.” 🙂
A true Chuck Jones classic. I hope Kay has seen it.
For the record, I had remembered it as “Ha! Ho! Guard! Parry! Spin! Thrust!”
