There's a test of the old gag reflex.

Oh dear...

He is a scary dude.

I have wondered from time to time if Frodo would be more to Gollum's taste than Wayzilla anyway.

His BxW said about the same thing on exposure day.

Scary? I think he's kind of cute.

Then again, I find a lot of strange people attractive.

PM,

I hope you put that behind you someday because it really is a great set of movies.

Glad to know your girls are doing well and your coaching skills are getting noticed. Perhaps they'll hire you for a big college team someday.

It looks like I found someone to sell Gollum�s body to! Yea!

Glad to have that piece of crap gone.

DD22 went down to Mordor Springs last Saturday to meet up with her mother for lunch, lectures and shopping. No Gollums allowed thankfully.

She got the Wayzilla personal $.10 tour of the Great Western Wear Emporium.

Eeeeeeeee Friggidy Hawwwwwww!!

DD said it was a�..ummmm�.funny little store�.with lots of western wear. Not sure what she expected. A western wear Nordstrom�s? Pony rides? A roller coaster?

My XILs 50th is next month. DGS and I will send some flowers or something. I imagine this will be the event where DD finally comes in some sort of contact with Gollum. Hopefully the only contact will be her boot to his Rocky Mountain Oysters.

My XSIL still wants to find an hour or so to see me when she comes to town. Still wonder about that.



I think I have another 2-years left in me. At least get Chuck through high school. It�s a lot of work and stress. And parents. You gotta love the parents.

Otherwise all is well. Passed the 3-year mark on Wayzilla�s happiest day ever last month with little thought about it. This is good.

Well, I better write that work order to mount Gollum�s body.

Take care all you MBers.

...to a pike?

Ooooooooooo......how very Vlad-like.

No unfortunatly it will go on an F550 4x4 60" CA chassis cab.

I try...

Hang the little doo-dads from the bumper of the truck.

I'm thinking a Tonka Truck is necessary for the sake of scale.

Chris, so glad thing are going well!

I especially admire your commitment to coach until Chuck graduates. There is something very special with the relationship between some coaches & players. I am certain it means a lot to know you will be there thru Senior year!

I'm going to have to schedule some additional time in one of my trips out your way in the near future! I'll be in Lakewood, CO tomorrow, but just in for the day.

Be sure to have an appropriate set of shifty looking glass eyes done on Gollum!

Cool.

I grew up in Lakewood. We moved there from Minnesota when I was 7 and I left the house when I was 20 when Wayzilla and I got married in 1981.




No peeing off mountains. Beau got to scratch that off his Bucket List exactly 3-years ago this week. Wow, does time fly.

I was just thinking about Beau and his evacuations 'round the world. Gotta get all that territory marked, ya know

Darn that Beau! He is doing all of the good stuff on MY list before me! Wonder if he 'marked' any public areas in Vegas?

Wow - - 3 years ago? Time does fly!

I loved the Lakewood area. What a great place it must have been to grow up. Can't wait to go back to next year's event there.

I got to wave goodbye to Gollum�s body last week. It�s outta here!

I had a fun dinner with DD22 last night. She told me a new Tale of Wayzilla that left me rolling on the floor laughing.

DD called Wayzilla recently around lunch time and surprisingly she actually answered. That does not happen often. She was at lunch with Gollum and she was in blubbering tears. The conversation went a thus:

DD: What�s wrong Mom?

WayZ: He *snivel sob* bought *snort snivel* two wagons!! *Bwahhhhh blubber*

DD: Huh? Wagons? What?

WayZ: Antique farm wagons! * SOB!* We have been spending SOOOOOOOOOO much money lately! *Bwaahhhhhh blubber snort*

Gollum in background agitated: It was a good deal. Basically two for the price of one!

WayZ: Bwaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! SOB SOB!!

Wayzilla admitted to DD in a follow up call that evening that she cried through the entire lunch. Then I guess he told her he was bidding on an antique 1930�s fire truck. He wants to fix it up, paint it and drive it in the annual Mordor Springs parade advertising the western wear emporium.

Maybe they can get a Dalmatian suit for Wayzilla so she can sit up front with him. I would have to break Plan B to see that.

I guess one of the wagons is already sitting in front of the old western wear emporium (unrelated thought: I wonder how well those things burn) and the other can be admired in their weedy backyard. I understand that Gollum is not much on yard work. She loved my yard and gardens.

Man, so this morning I Googled up antique farm wagons and was stunned. If he did not spend thousands on those wagons he would have had nothing but a pile of kindling. Some of these things sell for 16K or more! There were just wheels and chassis with no box selling for 5K! Unbelievable.

Well I will say that I have no recollection of Wayzilla crying through a meal with me in our 26 years together. But what the heck. It�s his money and he can spend it however he likes. It�s not like their married or anything.

"And told me that he thought we could camp out in them for a while-- his and hers, maybe live off the land if we have to. Why save $$ for a fancy smancy wedding?"

LOVE RELATIONSHIP with SOLEMEAT



F A I L

Sounds like WayZ is 'workin' the manipulation card,,,,,



And workin' it HARD!



And getting No Where.




Ahhhh, Reality. What a horrible disappointment it is for waywards.

I honestly can�t remember Wayzilla crying in front of me 2-times in 26 years. And here she is blubbering through an entire lunch because of how he is spending his own money. (There was that night she got drunk during Plan A and was blubbering while I held her hair out of the toilet but I am not counting it).

If she was really distraught about this it�s pretty pathetic. If it was mostly a drama queen skit then it was ���pretty pathetic. But FUNNY!!

They were both taking .45�s to each others Lurve Buckets and reloading for more. Stolebaits for life!

And when she looks out of HIS expensive remodeled kitchen window into HIS weedy back yard she will always be seeing HIS brilliantly purchased antique farm wagon in all its triggery glory. And when she goes to work at HIS store and parks HIS Cadillac or HIS D3500 in HIS parking lot she will get to see HIS other antique farm wagon loaded with resentment.

And maybe soon she will get to wash HIS 1930�s fire truck for the big parade. If she�s good maybe he will let her ring HIS fire truck bell.

You can�t put a price on a good time.
