There's this for the Usual Saturday Post, said post having gone missing yesterday:
OK, Bud... cut the clowning and make me a f*ckin' martini, Mmm-Kay? And... haven't we seen this movie before, anyway?
And then there's this, because we must leave no snark behind...
One hopes the lil girl wasn't disqualified.

So... we're home, having arrived in the late afternoon yesterday. And we're enjoying the bennies of fast in-home inter-tubes, our own cheap bottomless cup(s) o' coffee, and the fact we can surf these inter-tubes in a state of dishabille... meanin' we don't have to get all spiffed up just to check our mail.
We dropped in on blog-bud Lin on our way home (yeah, her blog hasn't been updated in quite some time, but the writing and the stories are wonderful). Lin succeeded in getting me half in the bag after a superb steak dinner... we wound up fixing the world over tumblers of JW Green until nearly 0500 hrs yesterday morning. We had an understandably late start for the final leg of the journey home as a result. And a big-ass nap when we got home, too.
I told Lin I was seriously considerin' gettin' out o' P-Ville and she raised a good point: what about EIP, as in how can one be "exiled in Portales" if one actually lives in Rio Rancho or someplace like it? Well, now... that's a very good point and makes one wonder what it is we'll do? I told her my move would prolly mean the end of the blog as we know it and I'd start another one. That's one option... another would be to just change the masthead and keep on keepin' on under some other name. But WHAT to name it, this sterling piece of fluff and nonsense? That's an issue.
First things first, though... we have to sell the RV, find suitable accommodations in the ABQ area, and actually MOVE before we worry about blog non sequiturs. We have a lil bit o' time for all this and we may not pull that trigger at all, coz you KNOW inertia is the most powerful force in a geezer's life.
About the move to ABQ, lot to think about huh.
ReplyDeleteMainly the HASSLE, Ed. Moving ain't no fun and there's all that crap you have to deal with...
DeleteOH NOOoooo!!! First you jettisoned the "Drifter" bit in the "High Plains Drifter"/"Casa Movile" image; now the "Exile" personna is getting tossed as well??? How can I live my fantasy life by proxy if you go BIG CITY on me, Buck? lol
ReplyDeleteABQ ain't exactly BIG City, Virg... only a little over a million in the metro area. And I'm just deferring the Harley, not eliminating it. So there'll be Tales From the Road to entertain you.
DeleteIF it happens.
PS: re cartoon. FB, "the gift that keeps on giving," lol
ReplyDeleteABQ - the land of the big BX. I think half of South Vietnam moved there...
ReplyDeleteI finally decided to rent an apartment. They are building a new one a mile from where I work. This will allow me to fix up the house and part with all the junk. I've already started taking stuff from the garage to the dumpster at work. When I get done, I will have enough to fit into an SUV and go anywhere. My contract ends in two years and I will be 60. Time to play before I croak...
I forgot - they have POD's now! Makes moving easy. Don't know about price though.
DeleteWell, #1... my move, if it happens will be made easy by an opportunity to piggy-back on my granddaughter's move to ABQ, which is rumored to be happening in August. There are details that must be worked out, but it's an intriguing possibility.
DeleteGood on YOU for making yer move... I sense good things will happen!
Buck, you can show up for dindins any time, especially when you bring along that JW Green. It was smoother than frog hair and the real test was waking up without the frog hair-encrusted lips. Fine, fine stuff ... just like the purveyor.
ReplyDeleteNote to SNs - come lease end, just show up with a U-Haul, take no guff, apply JW Green as necessary to grease the ornery skids and strap his narrow ass to the load headed to ABQ. Done. God bless the existence of SNs!
You are too, too kind, Gentle Lady. The pleasure was ALL mine for you are a remarkable hostess.
DeleteYa can always just make a strikethrough (one of my favorite tricks) of Portales and add a "?"
ReplyDelete's only a suggestion.
I don't have any opinion about whether or not you should move.
Ah, we were commenting together yet separate, Skip. The strike-through thang HAD occurred to me, seein' as how we did just that recently.
DeleteSuggested new names...
ReplyDelete"Buck Up, Little Camper"
"The Most Westerly Wings Fan"
"The Happy Hour Chronicles"
"Buck You!"
Those are just off the top of my head, and I have little enough to spare up there.
Those are pretty danged good for bein' "off the top o' yer head." I'd prolly piss off all those Wings fans on the Left Coast if I chose the Wings-related name, though.
