IN CASE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK

Please see a counselor.

Also, you should know that this weekend is the Miami Book Fair, where the world famous Rock Bottom Remainders will be performing surgery sexually (well, we aren't sure what it is, but it certainly isn't music) publicly at 5 pm (or possibly 5:30; how would we know?) on Saturday, as well as (of course) at the Voices for Children event tonight.

Time for me to flap away for awhile; Mr. Ducky's been working hard replacing our fence and is in need of sustenance. See y'all later! Good luck w/the crickets, cg!

[crossgirl]

thanks. so far so good.

[jazzzz]

CG I'd try the crickets with a little chocolate. Watch the legs don't get stuck in your teeth.

(just kidding CG. I once put a tomato worm back on the tomatoes because I couldn't harm it. I know, certifiable)

[Meditrina]

Jazzzz...

You just lost Fear Factor. You're supposed to eat the worm. Extra protein, dude.

Please don't tell me you hug trees. I just can't take it when nature freaks articulate, intelligent humans hug inanimate objects.

May I pour you a beverage?

[Cheryl Howard]

*dances in congo line into blog*
Da-da-da-da-da--dah!!

Wyo-Major hugs.
Also, she is going to be very sore in the am. Advice: Advil, ice packs and a million silent blessings.

CH & Sio--Woooo Hooooo! Dave Barry, Rock Bands and low flow toilets all in one night. I don't know how you stand it!

Sio--Thank you so much for getting the booked signed. I am giddy happy! *snoopy dance*

[Annie Where-but-here]

Wyo - glad to hear she's ok. I did the same when I was in college - drunk driver on the wrong side of the road. I ditched a sports car and flipped it back over front. I was fine until a good samaritan caught my chin in the zipper of my parka. Anyway, 2 things -
1.watch for mild concussions - the brain swells at night - check on her at night if you can.
2.git her back on the horse, asap

I swore by my Dodge pick-up, and swore at my ex's Ford. I've heard God drives a Dodge (can't spell 'Dodge' without him).

[judi]

well i met estrogen centrale and cjrun, and of course saw siouxie again ;) didn't meet anyone else unfortunately, and i suspect a few others were there. anyway it was a great fun show (imho) and we had a lot of fun. wish you all could have been there.

[CJrun]

Back from the fray. Many pictures to process and I will try a different uploading site, but for now, this awful link is a book I picked up for AWBH.

EC freaked out, but I feel certain that common first names will make for a bit of kismet! Enjoy, while my worn out self catches up with the blog haps!

[Wyo Cowboy]

CJ, LOL at your book for Annie. I know she'll love it.

[Wyo Cowboy]

oops, forgot the $.

[Annie Where-but-here]

cj - ick. Did you bring your crayons so the author could sign it? If you met her, tell her she needs her roots done. Tell her slooooowly.

[Annie Where-but-here]

You two! Grrrrr!

[Just Ducky]

Wyo, what's the update on the Wyoette?

[CJrun]

Best to the cowgal. Been on the road since before dawn and want to catch Hiassen in the morning, then James W. Hall, before I check out. Look forward to Annie's squeal of glee, but I'll have to check back for it, after a long nap. Niters!

[Wyo Cowboy]

btw, thanks again to Annie, Cheryl et al. for your well wishes. Pretty spooky, now that it's all over.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Ducky, Wyoette is happy with percocet. (how is that supposed to be spelled?)

[Just Ducky]

I spell it "the good drugs." ;)

[Just Ducky]

Anyway, blessings on you and yours, Wyo. I'll remember y'all in my prayers tonight. Speaking of which, it's that time...

Nighty-night!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Wyo - usually the soreness hits 2 days later...like after a big game...or meeting Ann Colder.

Now excuse me - I have to go tp a few Republican houses. Since it's Saturday night, we're using two-ply.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Annie, I've heard the soreness is from some acid in the tissue? is that close?

and as you know, I'm votin' for Ann for president. Think she'd look great on a $10 bill.

but that don't mean we can't be bloggin' buddies.

[Siouxie]

HEY all!! just a quickie for now! I'm worn out!!!!

Had a GREAT time today meeting CJ & EC...seeing judi again...front row seats to the RBRs show!!! what a day!

I will have plenty of pics up sometime tomorrow for all to enjoy and (if they come out) a couple of video clips from the show.

Wyo - I am so glad that Sarah was not hurt. My thoughts are with you and Diane.

Annie - I wasn't in ANY WAY involved in CJ's book choice (I did LMAO though).

[Siouxie]

OH btw...Punkin...I did NOT have to throw my undies at the band. They had the large brassiere out for all to see and EC and I tried it on...yes I have a photo.

crossgirl - CJ was a HOOT!!

[Siouxie]

Goodnight all! I'll have more tomorrow!!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Wyo - yes - lactic acid - common when you work muscles in ways they're not used to. Like when Ann Colder ties her shoes. Ba-dum!

[Meanie the Blue]

Wow, Wyo, that is so amazing that she is unhurt. All kinds of good wishes for sustained good health, and freedom from pain and nightmares to her and you and the Mrs.

Vive le Dodge!

[Anonymous tipoff]

Here, but beware

[crossgirl]

tap, tap, tapping foot. where's the pictures? i set my alarm and everything and only ONE picture so far. not that cj's isn't a good one. nice composition, great subject matter, except for that tract he's holding. i hope it didn't burn his flesh.

quadruple hrmphs for siouxies front row seats. anyone wanna sign up now to watch my kids so i can make it to the next show?

[jaynebird]

I want to see the pictures, too! Missed the show as well. Major bummer.....

[jazzzz]

Meditrina... I'm certainly no "tree hugger", I just don't personally hunt, etc...I have NOTHING against it. I understand certain animals need to be harvested, and most people eat what they kill....no problem. Ms Jazzzz even has a beautiful FUR coat. yes, from real animals. As for the tomato worm, I just figured it needed to eat too, and we had plenty.

[jazzzz]

Oh, and to even things out a little....I love all AC books

[Meditrina]

Jazzz... Just jokin'. Yay for Ms. Jazzz... I am down with the beautiful fur coat, from real animals, although my daughter would be appalled.

I sometimes wonder if I got the wrong kid at the hospital, she is such a critter-lover. I get in trouble for smooshing the spiders. She is a catch and release kinda girl. And we aren't hunters either, but I've got a bunch of relatives in Oklahoma....... well, we'll save that for a different thread (one w/ Jeff Foxworthy involved).

[Wyo Cowboy]

Temporary not so funny but serious alert.

When my dad was about six, and livin' in Jackson, he came across a rag-horn bull elk hung up in a barbed wire fence. Two coyotes were tearing at his belly, he was still alive. Dad always told us about seein' that, and pointing out that when in the wild, most animals die of sickness, starvation or fall to violent predators. "A bullet in the head," he'd say, "is the kindest death an animal can see."

Some will say that man's fence played a role, and indeed it did, but: 1) isn't man part of nature? and 2) if it wasn't a fence, the coyotes would have chased him into some other "natural" trap.

While it's not a pretty sight, it is what is. Nature is not like in the pictures and zoos, it is violent and yet amazingly beautiful, and needs to be preserved, understood with honesty, and respected for what it is.

*steps off soap box into fur slippers and wanders into the kitchen to fry up some venison."

[Wyo Cowboy]

*"patiently" waits for Siouxie's pix.*

[crossgirl]

so if bambi's mother hadn't been shot, she would have been eaten by coyotes? poor bambi!

looks like some people are too busy engaging in real lives to post anything for us. *sigh* goes back to looking at cj's pic since no one has given us anything else to comment on.

[Cheryl Howard]

Meditrina, tomatoe worms scare the hell out of me. I had one attack my boots once. I was wearing them at the time. I nearly fainted. Darned things have one hell of a grip.

Like you, I'd wear a fur coat without reservation. I boycott styrofoam cups however.

I live in a community with a high number of vegetarians. They all have leather shoes and designer handbags. I've never figured that one out.

*Hopes wyo is makin enough for everyone*

Hows the wyoette?

[Wyo Cowboy]

the "Wyoette" lives about 8 hours south of me, and I've not spoken to her since last evening. I suspect she's sleepin' it off, which is the best thing for it, if there aren't any nightmares.

[Cheryl Howard]

How the wyoette this am?

[Cheryl Howard]

Darned echo in here when everyones gone.

??? Darned post wasn't there and now it is.

[Just Ducky]

Is the venison ready?

[Siouxie]

HEY! geezzzzzz ya'll are a bit impatient huh??

I'm getting the pics loaded and ready for posting. Have a gumball and chill...look at CJ's lovely photo with Ann...

[ubetcha]

Siouxie - are you up yet? Geez - we're waiting over here!! Thanks for the book - can't wait! Be in touch about payment, etc.

Wyo - Whew! God is certainly watching over Sarah. Keep us updated, OK? She's gonna be hurtin, for sure.

CJrun - thanks for being FIRST with the photo. That definitely counts for something.

My breath couldn't be any more baited . . .

[Cheryl Howard]

Wyo, having been in a knarly accident (I was hit head on by a drunk driver a long time ago) I think the scariest part is:
1) Seeing your car in the light of day afterwards.
2) Driving again. It takes awhile and I think its really easy to be very sensitive to how others are driving around you.

I am very relieved for the entire wyo family that she is safe and sound.

[ubetcha]

Siouxie - sorry. It's after noon so I'll have a Cape Codder in lieu of the gumball.

There, that's better.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Well, at least Ann's nice to look at.

Venison's ready, and you're gonna like it, as it came off my uncle's alfalfa field. Tender and not gamey.

*Wanders off to Ann Coulter's site to see if there are any new pix posted.*

We'll keep you all posted on Wyoette.

[Cheryl Howard]

*loves venision*

*waits for Sio to post pictures*

[Just Ducky]

Yummm, venison! Thanks, Wyo!

*has to leave for awhile, BEFORE pix are posted*

Sigh.

[ubetcha]

Wyo - fence or no fence, coyotes have to eat too. It's the balance of nature. We've been around as long as all those animals and if your Dad had gotten to that elk first, would that have been any worse? Somebody's gotta eat it.

Save some of that venison for me (hopefully the liver - yum!).

[Wyo Cowboy]

sounds like a People Eating Tasty Animals convention in here.

[ubetcha]

Wyo - btw, I'll add a picture. How??

[ubetcha]

I thought that's what animals are for. I wouldn't eat my dog or cat, or the parakeets my mother raised, but anything else is fair game (no pun intended). People don't realize how hard hunting is. They go to the grocery store and buy cows and lambs and chickens. If you've ever sat in a tree stand at 4 am waiting for deer in the "wilds" of CT you'd know they're all pointing at laughing at you. They smell us coming. I have a great deal of respect for anyone who can actually go hunting and get something to eat. It just ain't easy.

Nuf said.

*taps foot patiently waiting for pix"

[Wyo Cowboy]

ubetcha, click on my moniker and you'll be taken to my site, then click on "about" in the top-left corner. On that page, is a link to my email. send me a jpeg and a brief bio, and I'll post it.

Thanks for askin'.

Still lotsa room there.

[Siouxie]

OK..if you have a MYSpace account, you can see some oh the pics there. My default pic is now one with EC and CJ at Hooters.

I promise I'll have more soon!

[Wyo Cowboy]

btw, you can also get to Ann Coulter's site from the about me page. just sayin'.

[Siouxie]

you can also see some OF the pics there...

[Siouxie]

Wyo, that picture of CJ and Ann's book is priceless!!

[Nebbisk]

First!

EDIT: How'd this message get moved way down here? Some glitch in the blog software, grumble grumble.

[ubetcha]

I'm on my way, Wyo. Thanks.

Don't have a My Space account. Don't own a cell phone either. Child of the 60s, what can I say?

[Meditrina]

Did someone say venison? Yummy. And its not even thanksgiving yet.

Wyo - pass me some of that.

I too, did an end over end, while driving my friends car at 14 years old. Totalled the car. Walked away without a scratch.

By the grace of God go we all..........

[Wyo Cowboy]

Welcome to ubetcha!

[ubetcha]

Wow - I've officially come out! I never cease to amaze myself. Good job Wyo. Any venison left?

[CJrun]

Just got checked in to a hotel in Lauderdale, after going to see Carl Hiassen and James W. Hall. Some photos:

[cloturemonkey]

[Meditrina]

Great Pics, Sioux. I am green all over. You, CJ, and EC look like you had a blast.

Thanks for letting us be there with you superstars. Second hand is better than nuthin'.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Nice pictures, Siouxie. You too CJ.

[jaynebird]

AWESOME PICTURES!!!! (kicks self for not going to the show last night....) (ouch)...

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Hi y’all.

Would've blogged sooner, but I'm attempting death by influenza.

CJ & Siouxie, great pics! Thanks for posting them and letting us in on the experience.

Looks like the RBRs were a big hit, as usual. Mrs. Blog is beautiful and I bet she has a great singing voice. Rob and Sophie looked great up on the stage too! YAY RBRs!

Hate to blog and run, but I'll be slipping back into my codeen codine codini cough medicine-induced comma now.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Also Wyo, so happy to hear Sarah is ok. Prayers of thanks going up for you.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Oh, and Dave...that's your "smoldering" look??? ;-)

[Siouxie]

Thanks everyone! I hope ya'll enjoy these pics as much as I enjoyed taking them. Just wanted to bring you a bit of what we experienced.

(without the foot/kneed/hand footage)

[Punkin Poo]

Get better soon, LBFF!!!

Siouxie, EC & CJ - I hate you all.

*makes wine out of her sour grapes*

[Siouxie]

Lisa! get well very soon!

Punkin, you love me...and don't you forget it!!!!

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Thanks Punkin and Siouxie, catching up on the blog has made me feel a little better. But if you know anyone who has this flu DON'T go near them! Save yourself.

G'nite.

[jazzzz]

WooooooooW sweet sweet Siouxie. Awesome!!!! Really enjoyed and am really jealous. Dave, could ya'll come to Billy Bob's Book Barn here in Arkansas? The county let them re-open after they got rid of the, uhhhhh "animal" pictures

[jazzzz]

LBFF....Please feel better soon. Prayers are with you.

[Siouxie]

Thanks Jazzzzie!!!

[crossgirl]

great pics ya'll. thanks for FINALLY posting. it was just like being there, only different! i'm guessing we're not enjoying looking at them as much as siouxie and cj enjoyed taking them, though.

ubetcha, if there's not an event in january we'll all just have to get together and make one!

[Meanie the Blue]

Excellent pics, CD CJ! I'm truly impressed - you and Dave must be great pals if he let you rename his son.

Oh, and Sioux's Knees WBAGNFARB, BTW....

[OtheU(manity)]

Good werk on the pix, Siouxie ... nice to see some familiar (and new) faces havin' a good time ...

BTW, we ate venison tonite ... used the "Road Kill Recipe Book" method ... very tasty, excellent product ... (sorta helps that it wuzn't all shot to doll rags by some stoopid hunter this year ...)

[Siouxie]

sheesh, Meanie...

Thanks OtheU & crossgirl...ya'll need to get your butts down here next time.

[crossgirl]

will i have to wear a pirate do-rag?

[Siouxie]

crossgirl, I think dressing up like a wench would be more appropriate for us gals...

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

*wakes up*

As it happens, I went right past the "comma" and slid directly into a "coma."

It's similar, but there's a longer, deeper pause.

*falls back on pillow in dead faint*
