All I have to say is I'm glad I can put a face and personality to your
messages now Dennis since having the opportunity to meet you last
weekend, and why don't you consider a rat Bus with patina.

Subject: [tcb] Back in Arkansas
Well, I am back in Arkansas. When I left the leaves were growing but
everything still had a greyness to it, but now it is deep fresh green
and
the lake is blue. It is 60 degrees with a slight breeze.
It took me 2 days to get home because I am old and don't drive past the
sunset, so the trip home included two grueling nights of room service,
indoor pools, Jacuzzis and in-room movies. And you all know how it feels
to
get grueled. "Alexander" was terrible.
I am not going to anymore shows. I didn't win crap. Well, I may have won
crap, no, no I didn't even win crap. I told Steve how unhappy I was and
he
asked me to tell him what about the show that I didn't like so that he
could
be sure to do it again. See, I am the Rodney Dangerfield of car shows,
no
respect. No respect at all. I don't know what I have to do. Put a live
band
inside? Light the bus on fire during the judging? Stick five dollar
bills
all over it? Until there is a category for Best Foam Engine or Best Big
Foam
Monsterhead I will be out of luck. The last award I won was at the
Austin
AirCoolers drunkfest and that was because everyone there was hammered.
I am so upset I might have to go to a psyki...a spych...a head doctor,
and I
can hear you all right now laughing and pointing your crooked little
fingers
at the computer screens, saying that I'm nuts or something and saying
that
that I should get my head examined, well they can look all they want and
you
know what they're gonna find? Nothing! So there.
When I think of all the hours I spent burning my hands with the glue gun
and
getting paint out of my hair and all the staples in my neck and the
razorblade cuts and the trips to the Emergency room, not even to mention
that thing with the police and animal control. I gotta wonder if it was
really worth it.
And what is the deal with Paul? Why is he so popular? Lots of people
have
nice busses but everyone clapped and cheered when he won his award. How
can
the guy be so friggin' nice? I happen to know that he started life as a
woman and had to change identity to escape the law after being caught
running a pyramid scheme involving Emu oil futures and conterfiet
Cabbage
Patch Dolls made in Bangladesh and filled with kerosine soaked rags. I
have
"before" pics of Paul that definately look like him (her) if you squint
with
one eye and look at them in dim light wearing special glasses that you
can
only get through the internet and that the Government doesn't want you
to
know about..
And now I look at the website for the show and MY BUS ISN'T EVEN ON
THERE.
That's it. I am starting my own car show where I will win all the
awards.
And the trophies will be real big and be made out of diamonds. So there.
