clarification

Doug, robin and dad where discussing the band the eagles on Saturday night and Doug thought that Jackson Browne was in the band. in fact i was googleing the band and Jackson Browne is not listed as being a former band member, but he did write some of their songs and may have recorded with the band on the song take it easy.

what the hell, wheres the snow !!

what the hell i leave Ohio and its about 3 degrees and i get back and its fricking 60 degrees! well i had a fun trip. we left Thursday afternoon and got to the winter wonderland about 9:15 or so. it was a good trip as long as you can get past the bluegrass music playing on the xm. and dads attempt to sing. on Friday i shoveled snow for the first time. that was fun wasn't too cold for me. but when i realized my nose was running down into my mustache and freezing on contact, i knew it was time to go in and warm up. with the snow coming again the first part of the week, hopefully someone will have the side walk shoveled at my grandparents so papaw doesn't attempt to do it again. i didn't get to make a snowman because the snow wouldn't pack very well. i did some riding around with Michelle and it was at that point that i saw my life flash before my eyes not once but twice. and i thought my driving was bad! i did find an antique bed but it was a full size not a queen and after consulting with my antique insider (mominhiding), i chose not to buy it. although it was a good price. for those of you who don't know i like to buy antique furniture and refinish them. Ohio seems to be the only place i can find that kind of furniture at a good price because these people down here know what they have. oh and by the way brandy is only on here because she called me yesterday asking me some questions and i told here that she needed to get on the blog to find the answers to here questions. she seems to think i was going to miss the daytona 500 so she could take the kids to have them fitted for a dress for some wedding. SHES NUTS!! she also thinks that I'm going to get all dressed up for some wedding. i told here to just save the money and go to Chattanooga and get married. or better yet save some money down the road and just live with the guy. but that's just me! I'm going to catch some serious flak for talking about her but she knows she's my favorite cousin. oh and by the way I'm taking a break from the chittlins and collards diet thank you very much DARRELL! just remember my motto "its all pink on the inside".

AND BEFORE I FORGET

So, if you are quoting the Stones, Mark, does that mean you got my reference to "that spells M-0-0-N"? Doug didn't and I had to tell him. I'm hoping you come up with it, you should be able to.

DOUG'S ON A ROLL

I guess Doug is planning on being busy at work tomorrow since he's been posting his nonsense all day. ENOUGH WITH THE BOB RANSOMER! And really, "omerta"? Someone's been in the dictionary again!

Mark, you've been pretty quiet the last couple of days. Too bad that quietness didn't prevent you from posting a comment with the "N" word in it. I think we all know how I feel about that. Can we not express ourselves without degrading another? Tell Jackie thanks for the Club Pogo trial membership...I've been playing bingo and slots like crazy!

Hey, Brandy......glad you finally got here! Yep, feel free to post pics and whatever. As you can see, your dad and most of your uncles are on here, several cousins and besides me, there is another aunt but she lurks in the shadows. That last post of Doug's may be enough to bring her out though!

Well, I guess Johnny and John should be home by now or close to it. John had fun playing in the snow but unfortunately he wasn't able to make a snowman. Although I hope the next bout of snow they're forecasting passes us by, if we do get some maybe someone can make a snowman for John and post the pic on here for him. Next best thing to being here. I guess.

Coming up on 400 clicks on the page since last weekend....awesome!!

RE: BOB RANSOMER

AFTER TALKING WITH PEG LAST NIGHT, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY REMEMBERS BOB RANSOMER SINGING A SONG CALLED WHOA! MULE?

SECURITY UPDATE

I HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED BY MY SICILIAN FRIENDS THAT OUR "IMPOSTER" MAY NOT BE WORKING ALONE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SUSPECTED IMPOSTER HAS NEITHER THE MEANS OR THE INTELLIGENCE TO PERPETRATE THIS SECURITY BREACH PERSONALLY. I SHALL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO FOREWARN ANY AND ALL WHO MAY BE INVOLVED, WE COOTS' TAKE THIS OMERTA SERIOUSLY AND ANY THREAT WILL BE DEALT WITH HARSHLY AND SWIFTLY BY MY "FRIENDS".

Well, well, well....let the games begin! I just got off of the phone with John and had to endure some insulting comments about the fact that I have not been on the blog....so here I am!!! This is cool Bobbie...thanks for setting it all up. I tried to post some pictures, but my connection at home is too sloooooooooowwwww - so I'll try to do it from work tomorrow.

WARNING! OUR COOTS SECURITY MAY BE COMPRIMISED.

ATTENTION ALL. I BELIEVE THAT WE MAY HAVE AN IMPOSTER AMONG US. SHE IS USING ROBIN'S NAME BUT IT AROUSED MY SUSPICION WHEN SHE GOT MOST OF THE BIRTHDAYS WRONG. AND THEN LAST NIGHT SHE ASKED,"WHAT THE HELL IS A MASSEY FERGUSON?". THAT THREW UP A RED FLAG IMMEDIATELY. AS YOU MAY KNOW, I KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THESE THINGS SINCE OUR ENEMIES WILL GO TO ANY LENGTHS TO GET THE KERNEL'S SECRET. HOWEVER, AFTER MUCH RESEARCH LAST NIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE ROBIN'S BIRTH RECORDS ONLINE AND IT SADDENS ME TO SAY THAT IT APPEARS SHE MAY NOT BE A COOTS AFTER ALL. ACCORDING TO THE BIRTH RECORDS DATED 13 - MARCH - 1963 HER FATHER IS LISTED AS ROBERT RANSOMER AND HER PLACE OF BIRTH IS LISTED AS AN ADDRESS THAT COMES BACK AS THE OLD RIKE'S PARKING GARAGE IN DAYTON, OHIO. THAT IS ALL THE INFO I HAVE AT THIS TIME. I WILL CONTINUE TO FORWARD ANY NEW INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE TO ME. MY CONTACTS AT HEADQUARTERS HAVE ASSURED ME THEY ARE HANDLING THIS MATTER AS DIPLOMATICALLY AS POSSIBLE, SEEING AS HOW THIS COULD BECOME A MATTER OF INTERNATIONAL CONCERN. LASTLY, ANY FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THIS MATTER MUST BE THROUGH SECURE CHANNELS ONLY!

Random Observations

Happy belated birthday to Raylene, if you're 46 now, Ray must really be OLD! Doug, I ran into Poncho in Mexico a while back, he was recovering from a gun shot wound and had a whole bunch of derogatory things to say about you. Don't worry-problem eliminated! By the way do you still want your trash back? Robin, I read on here somewhere that you haven't seen me in over 3 years. Well I seem to remember that about a year and half ago we defied death to drive up a mountain in Mexico to a restaurant so you could eat octopus or squid or some other slimy sea creature. I had the stuffed Mahi-Mahi; magnifico! Hi Tricia, long time no see, I see that you are 32 now, BOY, your daddy must really be OLD! John are you still on the chittlins and collards diet, HEHE. Hey Michelle. Hey, Chance. TADA! Mark.

And I thought we wouldn't get another chance to sled...
