Buckles,
Thank you for the invitation.
Hey Anonymous Goof,
I train horse's!!! What Jorgon Christenson did with horse's doesn't have a name, and is on a planet most of us will never reach.

Buckles,
JAJ Speaking of that, I'm fighting for my life here, generating as much "blog hit revenue" for you as I can, and now I see you are booking Monaco Grand Prix Packages!!! How many greedy angles are you going play. That ranks right up there with $50.00 snowcones, and "kid, I'll make you a star." I guess they are right. You can take the man out of show business, but you can't take the show business out of the man.

P.S. Col Herriott,
Be careful what you say about Cirque du Sol. I just saw where your friend Mr. Woodcock is booking tickets and flights for them.

Bob my friend,
You have to do much better then that. Stop pitching underhanded!!! If your going to try an play in the majors, you have got to learn to pitch overhanded.
My best, Wade Burck
