You may need a good "mental Imager" for this...
My son's favorite show is "Cops." Has been since he was three y/o. I bought him a pair of toy hand cuffs a while back. He also has a giant stuffed Polar Bear. So one night "Cops" (rerun) is on, and they are in foot pursuit. My wife is on the couch with her lap top, and I am in my chair with mine. We both glance up to see Brodie running wide loops around the den, while keeping an eye on the TV. He cups his left hand over his right shoulder and turns to speak into to it ( like it's a lapel mic for a radio). "We have a runner on 231 North!" The cops on TV climb a fence, so Brodie stops, slowly raises one leg, then the other, like he's going over a fence. You can even hear him grunting like he's having difficulty. Finally after about 2 more laps around the den he dives ( for what looks like about 4 feet through the air) onto his stuffed bear, yelling in his little high pitched voice "Get on the ground, get on the ground!!!!" He wrestles with the bear a bit and then pulls his toy cuffs out of his waist band and cuffs the bear. By now, Monica and I are in tears trying to keep form busting out laughing. Finally I asked him, "Son, what's he going to jail for?" He, sits the bear up, holds him by the shoulder, looks him dead in the eye and yells (in a very scolding type tone, " You're going to jail because you
drank 2 cocaines!!!"
Who needs TV when you have that kind of entertaiment. BTW, BRODIE? RTR The wife wouldn't go for John Parker?
I always figured, if I ever wrote a novel, the main character would be named Brodie.
Well, he is my main character now!!!
Plus I admired the courage of Sheriff Brody in the movie Jaws. He was petrified of the water, but over came his fear to do the right thing.
Brodie Croyle may have taken a lot of hits, but he always got up and came back for more.
A man like Brodie, stands out, but " fits at the same time. Does not matter if you're a cowboy bull rider, surfer, attorney, doctor or " man of the cloth".
Besides, it's a nickname, not even on his Birth Certificate.
