Notice how ever since bigdaddyjunior got his office job he ain't around no more, like all of a sudden he's so lah-dee-dah and we're all just trailer trash? I sent an email congratulating him on his new job, and all I got was a reply from his secretary telling me to call his service to set up a lunch sometime in September. What a puke.

It wasn't for you to set up a lunch with him. It was for you to send him lunch. Feel free to anytime.[:D]
Shouldn't he be caged somewhere, instead of in an office? [:D][;)]
What is he doing in an office? I missed the thread about the new job.
Oh, well, he's all lah-dee-dah now. Eating with utensils and everything. Upper friggin' management, "Hey, hon, go get me a whole milk Breve grande and a raspberry scone", "have your people call my people" ex-blue cholera now white cholera sellout in an ill-draped Mens wearhouse $300 suit and tassle loafers.
Yup!...on both counts...[:X]
I have been out of town retrieving my oldest and her possessions from college and looking up there for a house for her for next year. Working in the office sucks big time. Not a whole lot to do. After about two hours I have to go outside and walk around to keep from going nuts. I am having a little fun hunting a suitable building site for our new office building. Then for six months or so I can oversee the construction project. I also enjoy showing the military guys around looking for houses. I know what they need and where they need to be based on where they will be working on base and how old their kids are and whether or not they aspire to high rank. You want that bird you better get the house with the wet bar and pool right on the third fairway.
Anyway, I am learning to live with it and I am not getting so beat up all the time. See the kids a lot more now too.

TRANSLATION: I thought I would remember all the little people on Gunbroker on my way up, but then, who gives a flying stick of Fan-Tan and aren't my cufflinks and tie bar a tasteful thematic monism of charisma, character and success?
Clouder..
Yeah. I sent a copy of something to him and he didn't even acknowledge it. But then, maybe he shouldn't.
Clouder..
OUCH!!!! I'm nearly done. Jeez.
The thing about these life altering changes is that they take up so much time.
Only your time. And that is the problem; you see things only through your own eyes. The rest of us rabble have the same dull lives, the same dog, the same J.C. Penny high-rise briefs while you are out buying Pateks and white lawn jockeys because you're do lah-dee-dah, and paying people to count your money for you. I now believe Todd when he told me that you actually said, "Having a Remington or Ithaca in your gun cabinet is like ordering white wine with beef." Well, excuse me all to hell.[V]

Well that tears it! I am sending the '69 Triumph Bonneville right back to the dealer. You'll be lucky to get a '61 Enfield Constellation out of me now. Hmmmph!

Do you still have the '84 Pontiac Bonneville? A friend has some spinners with nowhere to go.
Tried my best to do anything put to me as well as possible. Put myself into debt many times helping out those who needed it when But as I near the half century mark I have decided to allow myself a few accommodations.
PUH-LEEZE. The abandonment of those who have been there for you all along the way is hardly an accommodation to self. Neither is your newfound preference for Ferragamos over Redwings, port over muscatel, chess over parcheesi. There was a time when an email would be answered, a phone call returned; not any more: "No, I'm sorry, he's with Emmylou Harris right now"; "No, he's interviewing stable help right now"; "Impossible, he'll be in St. Croix for at least another week". And so it goes, the fading of the old Kurt in Carhartt coveralls into the new Kurt in Armani. Pity.
...he was a purty gud feller in them days, so maybe he still is.
Ya think? I called his office last week and overheard him say to his secretary, "That guy again? He wouldn't know a Monet from a Manet if there were arrows pointing to their signatures. Tell him I'll have someone get back to him".

See he totally misquotes! What I said was that his people should get up with my people and crunch schedules to see if there was a possibility of squeezing him in between Oprah and Lisa Marie. Frankly we are begining to think he doesn't even have people. My security chief has reviewed the call tapes and is pretty sure it is just one guy and a dog. Pitiful.[:(]
My advice would be not to dis the man or the dog. The dog is dangerous and loyal.
Have his people get with my people? Crap, you probably ride a Harley these days too.
