Re: What have I started?
Jimmy, the old mining operation had been a big industrial one and the entire place was in a state of total dilapidation. It was miles from even a small town, tucked up in the mountains behind Vancouver, BC, and well-past Whistler where the skiiers go. I had gone looking for subalpine meadows. I found nothing but ugly clear-cuts where trash timber had been left lying--an environmentally-sound, though unaesthetic practice--and nothing lovely at all. It was a Sunday and my gas tank was low. Mood was... anxious, spooked... and this was ~1984, I think... predating The Simpsons. hmm... Chief Quimby could be the result of a night out with Quimby...

What have I started?
Okay, I guess the gauntlet has been thrown at my ( our ) feet. Hmmm . . . a short story or poem about a night out with Quimby. It's too bad we will never know who ( or what ) Quimby is or was ( thus the challenge ). Was the end result of Qumby's nightly adventures the dilapidated building? Or were there others involved? Ponder, ponder. The wheels are turning now!

This is a fun post....and, I loved his list.
I'm thinking really hard about the graffiti, "THIS IS THE RESULT OF A NIGHT OUT WITH QUIMBY", but I will probably end up letting it fly away. It is easier just to let it go.
