Boobies!

So this is my first little post here in a long time.  At least here....  I shall break in new posting habit with this one little story. 

Let me preface this tale with the fact that I've been in bed for the past two days with the flu.  I'm feverish and  I've been eating over the counter medicine for the past forty eight hours and my judgement is more than a little bit clouded.  Keep in mind, dear reader, that antihistamines do no block my ability to call a spade a spade.

My roommate asked me if I'd like to join he and his girlfriend at a friend's house.  Pretty simple.  I agreed, as I'd been sitting at the house on the sofa for a couple of days watching Law and Order while my body flopped from sweaty fever to chilly misery again and again.  Even though it was late, I figured that it might be a good idea to get up and moving for an hour.

It was a normal looking house.  I hate normal looking houses.  They throw me off.  You never what to expect when you walk into a normal looking house.  If the world were a fair place, there would be Hobo Signs on the fencepost denoting what kind of freaks live inside.  All I ask for is a little fair warning.  When I walk into a new house, I'd like to know if the people living there are drunks, coke heads, Manic Mutants, Republicans or swingers.  What I walked into in this particular house could only be described as a degenerate snakepit.  On the whole, I like to think of these sorts of folks as generally good people.

Moved

I moved this blog over here.
It is right next door to here, I promise.
Not a long drive.

Jackelope Hits The Big Time

My Jackelope has hit it big. Just the other day, I got a call from bigshot promoter John McDonald asking me if I would bring it to "The Festival In The Pines." It is going to be front and center at this festival featuring Rat Dog, Larry Keel, Col. Bruce, Moe, RB Morris, Sam Bush, The Steep Canyon Rangers and many more.

Pretty cool, eh?

If you wanna see the 'Lope and some music, head over to the fest. It will be August 26-27 in Coeburn, Va. about fifty miles north of Bristol at the Lonesome Pine Raceway. Tickets are eighty bucks for the weekend and that price includes parking and a camping pass. I've got a feeling that the party will most likely last until sometime late in the evening on the 28th, but don't quote me on that.

I knew that this bad idea would go somewhere. I didn't think that the thing would end up at a Jam Band festival, tho......

Man Makes Trek To Jack-A-Mecca

A strange and sometimes vulgar man got in his car and drove a gazillion miles to see the Jackelope. He's a super good guy, but I can only assume that a touch of insanity lurks in his brain-holder.
My kinda guy.
The only thing that bummed me out was that he wouldn't help make larger antlers.


freak-man, freak-man and jackelope
So it seems that this entire project is taking much longer than I imagined. I've got some family stuff and some work stuff going on that is going to put a halt to progress for the next few weeks.

The simplicity of this 'lope is something else that slows me down... I'm focusing on the great friggin huge 3-d 'lope and not spending enough time with the little twenty-footer.

Jackelope Chalkboard

I am not posting todays work on the 'Lope. I fear retalliation from the folks of Douglas. I believe that they may be sending operatives to Weaverville to destroy the World's Largest Jackelope so that they may retain their title.

I had a few minutes to kill today, so I threw together this Jackelope Chalkboard. He stands about four feet tall. The directions on the ChalkBoard paint say that I gotta wait three days before writing on the surface with chalk, so, needless to say, I'm kinda bummed.

Perks Won't Stop Me!

The town of Douglas tried to bribe me with aJackelope Hunting License good for only one day. They will only allow me to hunt on June 31 between sunrise and sunset. Anyone with half a brain know that those are the hours that 'Lopes hide in caverns deep underground and are nearly impossible to catch. The hours between midnight and closing time are the hours to kill a 'Lope. The Moonshine hours are THE ONLY TIME TO HUNT.

Such perks will not work on this man. No. Not a chance. I will continue to build The World's Largest Jackelope. They may try to bribe me to end construction, but nothing short of a Jackelope pelt suit could stop me.

I will also Lobby to make sure that it is spelled with an "E" and not an "A" between Jack and Lope.

I have a crew coming over tomorrow to help hand the ears and horns. Much heavy machinery will be delivered at sun-up.

First Contact

Sweet, yet threatening. Note the lack of an emblem on the stationary. I think that they are afraid of me. They fear having a smaller Jackelope than I. I can pity them for their envy. C'Mon- Let's get real here. It ain't the motion of the ocean, it is the size of the horned rat.
