Wannaskan Almanac for Tuesday, October 10, 2023 Ren Ten Ten

It is 10 10 day.  I have waited for this for so long.  It really only seems to be October 10, at the most, once a year, which is a shame.  All those decorations I buy for ten ten day and then you have to take them down before the ten eleven enthusiasts get offended.  

Rin Tin Tin was a male German Shepherd who became an international star in motion pictures. He was rescued from a World War I battlefield by an American soldier, Lee Duncan, who nicknamed him “Rinty.” Duncan trained Rin Tin Tin and obtained silent film work for the dog. Rin Tin Tin was an immediate box-office success and went on to appear in 27 Hollywood films, gaining worldwide fame 1. Rin Tin Tin was born in Flirey, France in September 1918 and died on August 10, 1932.  


Ran tan is defined as a knocking, banging, or pounding noise.  This has often been associated with the Dodge Ram, tan in color usually.  It does stop making the banging noise after it has been shut down for a few minutes.  

Currently the noisiest and newest vehicle in Wannaska

Finally, that brings us to ron ton ton.  I narrowed my thoughts down to wontons or Jerry Mather's dog.  I wasn't hungry for Chinese food, so I went with the dog.  
I have no idea who Jerry Mathers is

If you notice that is skipped run tun tun, that was done on purpose.  It is a little more explicit than I like to be.  That said, I am sure I have convinced our huge teen boy audience to look that term up.  Oh well, better you hear it here than on the streets!

Till next week,
Bye tin tin!

  3. He's just a-joshin' you, more'n likely, but then again he's an immigrant from Ontario livin' in Kansas of all places an' t'ings aren't always what dey ought to be, eh Dorothy? Click dem heels together, an' apologize to the greatest TV dog ever: "Lassie." The No. 1 in the 10 greatest dogs. Sadly, Rin Tin Tin was even beat out by Toto.
