Happy Birthday Lisa


HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lisa! ()-:)

Celebrating the special person you are to our family...
And your gift of humor, that keeps us all laughing
Since I can't make you a cake, I thought I would
leave with you with something that is
TaTa Licious...hehe.

Love, Lynn

TaTa Licious, 10 Year Struggle, Who IS the Father?

Note: In the first edition, TaTa Licious appeared on a talk show fighting over the father of her baby. After 10 years, will she finally discover who he is? An in-depth investigation by Ford News, Selasota.


TaTa Licious made one last appearance on the Jherri Po'lich show, it had taken ten years, and almost every last drop of blood in her body but she was finally going to discover the father of her child. It wasn't her fault TaTa didn't know...the lighting at the strip bar was dark, and when she slung her leg across that pole, she knocked her head pretty good...thankfully her kinky curls caught most of the fall but still she did see stars...

TaTa Licious squeezed into her smallest daisy dukes with the matching "I'm In LUV Wid a Stripper" halter. TaTa wore best weave--hot pink, she liked to think she looked like 'Lil Kim in it. And of course--the fuschia lipstick, couldn't forget that, had to wear at least six layers (her lips were a bit crusty but deep fried gator guts does that!). Baby was no longer a "baby"--but technically that didn't matter. Baby was 10 years old, juvenile deliquent, who was sick of being told "Not the Father!" whenever he wanted to hit someone up for some money. He was starting to believe his father was Santa Claus...

TaTa teetered onto the stage in her six inch high platform boots, her head of weave equally as high. She held out one skinny arm, dug in with needlemarks from all the DNA poking.
"No, No, No! That is not gonna work!", Jherri said, "There is no blood left in that chicken bone
arm of yours. I'm afraid we're gonna have to poke your butt."
The crowd gasped then screamed as TaTa dropped her drawers right then and there--they had seen plenty of skin on the show, but a woman with a tail..a TAIL! That was scandalous. Baby was so embarassed, he was about to run off to the North Pole. Jherri reeled back in disgust just then, Artay the bouncer hops on stage yelling... "I know that tail! I would remember that tail anywhere!"

See, back in the 80's, Artay thought he was the pimp. He wore silky suits, and fake purple leather shoes and listened to Public Enemy on his boom box. Problem was--Artay was not fooling anyone. He was a seasonal mall Santa...eating so many Twinkies and chocolate cups during the year that he was fat enough to be Santa. Then when he lost his job at the mall, he lost the weight while he starved, living under a bridge... TaTa didn't think Artay was her type (she has high standards!) but something went horribly wrong--TaTa would claim the triple splitz she did that night so long ago tore a ligament right through her brain. Artay would claim his pimpin suit was not strong enough to "Fight the Power"... In any case, after a really wild night, and 10 years of DNA testing the truth was about to be revealed...

ARTAY YOU ARE THE FATHER!!

Baby was right, his father IS Santa. TaTa Licious finally had found her man... And Artay found a woman who could cook for him during the year. For once the Jherri Po'lich Show had a happy ending...well at least for 30 seconds...but that's another story.
