Geritol comments around a bunch of old dudes like us (well, SOME of us) aren't gonna go over well... And, its not a yankee vs Texas thang, I assure you...just outta curiosity, how many of us TCB'ers are natural Texans> Me? I was born in Ohio (but I was raised in the south from the 3rd grade on....)... At any rate, you are welcome here, so long as ya have a bus! Doesn't matter where you originated from, the busses came from Germany...well MOST of 'em! --- On Wed, 3/9/11, kelly dosch <kellydosch@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: kelly dosch <kellydosch@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: A Formal Apology To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, March 9, 2011, 9:33 PM Thanks Mike. But I'm the new guy. Nobody loves me yet. I have to tread gently around that delicate Texan pride. At least now you know what to get the kid for his birthday! Imagine how his eyes will light up for a whole big box of Twinkies! --- On Wed, 3/9/11, Mike Hayes <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Mike Hayes <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: A Formal Apology To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, March 9, 2011, 10:21 PM Ya Ya Ya while you guys are are trying to decide who was the biggest camping wimp I have a real problem! My grandson came over and left his Twinkie here. I figured he would forget about it so I ATE IT! Well he came back over today and wanted to know where his Twinkie was. I told him the dogs ate it but, he didn't believe me. Then I told him my wife ate it still no go. Now I'm on the hook for a twinkie before he comes over again. I knew eating that Twinkie would bring nothing but pain. .Kelly I wouldn't worry too much everytime I drunk dial I piss off half the people I know but they still love me. .

Had I known all of you would take it so seriously and be so offended as to want to "kick my ass" or write "silver tongued" rebukes I would never have made fun of your constitutions in such a cavalier manner. I now see that we are a very serious group and that teasing or even joking of any kind is done at one's own peril. In the future, I will do my best to refrain from any further joking at the expense of anybody's pride. My most sincere apologies to all of you whom I wounded with my scalding remarks. It was only meant in jest, but I promise I will try to keep my jesting to myself from now on.
