    Perhaps it was the colonoscopy preps that cleared his thinking. He had such a sh!tty attitude beforehand.

    Success will come when he demystifies the corner rappel anchor system, then all the mysteries of gadgetry will be unveiled to him.

    Do you happen to have a phone number or address for this Johnson’s Drain Rooter Service and Medical Endoscopy service? The bathroom sink is clogged again and my brain certainly could use a little sharpening.

    This is no laughing matter. Buddy has applied for several patents and with the capital seed money he fully expects from the Urban Community Affair’s Development Area; in Co- op #9; of District 17; as published in the National Federal Directory of Affirmative Action Initiatives; Sub-section A-3; of Sub-part 97; as shown on page 42, paragraph 2: as amended in the dated revision of 1/21/2010, of the Bureaucratic Bureau of Agency Brochure Booklets, bided and bonded per paragraph 14 on page 14 of the above mentioned subsection. Never mind, I forgot what I was talking about. Sorry….

    ATTENTION Visitors to Ballard Street: Don’t trust that gadget freak Buddy Simmons… !!! I loaned him my cowbell on the pretense that he would “Improve upon it’s heavenly harmonics”…. only to find that he hung it on the door to “Mona’s Midnight Massage and Hardware Emporium”… geesh… (no offense Mona); And Bev, I thank you for your kind complements on the autographed nude photo of me strummin’ my banjo… but it was confidentially given to ShadyLady as a personal gift, not intended to be sold on eBay… it could have serious repurcussions on my musical career… If you remember to whom they were given/sold I will attempt to collect them…And Ess… Glenn & Stacy were curious if you wanted to help plan next months “Whimsical Wednesday”… I cant make it, gotta date… Yakima County District Court… illegal disposal of “Sh*tty Beer”… (who knew those tires were mounted on an unmarked squad car?) Monkey Out…

    Buddy could not be more pleased. Years of development and research, has lead to stunning innovations in design, materials, effectiveness and economy. The old adage, “dazzle them with foot work” never was as meaningful as it is today. Buddy’s new squared cleat, symmetrical along the arch of his house shoes, provide exceptional traction and comfort on any surface. The no slip, three stranded knee pad have practical applications in both industrial and residential settings. The new wrist tether, has an adjustable buckle, replacing the old model clasp and also a Velcro tensioning strip, which acts as a safety lock for the buckle and allows for fine tightening tuning over sensitive muscle, with the maximum flexibility allowed by OSHA standards. Wooden hand grips have replaced the older styled plastic handles, adding that organic look with increased durability. The targeting sight maybe the most exciting feature of the extend-O-matic collapsible arm. This is the same level model, also available is the overhead model, good up to nine feet. The bungee cord attachment to the all leather harness gives the operator a variety of positions. The truth be known, Buddy is a little disappointed, Shirley hasn’t noticed the rear view mirror sunglasses. On the other hand, he feels quite certain she will say something at lunch, she is very observant and highly supportive. The best Valentine gal a guy could imagine.

    I promise Ess… no more, I’ve seen the light (bier)… I know what must be done to atone for my transgressions… I shall not return until I find a new cowbell worthy of performing on Ballard Street… (Mona can keep the old one, since she painted it pink)
