Storm doors and the right thing to do

@ 01:52 PM (37 months, 25 days ago)

Over at longrange a used storm door was offered up as the grand prize for being the 10,000 visitor. Supposedly nanc wasn't computer savvy enough to know she was going to be the 10,000 th visitor. Needless to say the fix was in when one of the teambloggers (I won't mention names *cough* nanc) won the door. I've got my lawyer Jackie Chiles on the case. He was so moved by the pictures that he is working pro bono. Usually in these matters family members and employees are exempt from winning. After Jackie saw pictures of my freezing children he knew we could win. Nanc and Warren have tried to bribe me with macadamia nutless trail mix and promises of turkey dinners. NO DEAL! See the picture, you're responsible for that nanc and Warren. Judge Judy is gonna have a field day with you guys.

UPDATE: Nanc and Warren think a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo posted at the 11th hour will help them. Think again. I'll put my waders on.

  3. EB-If you would just readjust the a/c, your children wouldn't have frostbite! BTW, just cram them into the old rustbucket, head for the Ozarks, enjoy Nanc's cooking, make a video and split the profits and GO HOME WITH YOUR BLANKETY-BLANK DOOR! Don't make me come out there and shake you by the ear!:twisted::evil:

  16. Blisters ain't fun you nitwit!
    Barry, how about brightly colored spray string in the most obnoxious combinations possible?

  17. I considered the spray string but then I thought that it might be too easy to remove. Maybe hot pink or lavender paint with electric power sprayers connected to five gallon buckets.

    Comment by Barry G.— 2006/10/15 @ 02:45 PM — (Reply)

  18. Why EB, I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

    Didn't you see the link to the disclaimer in the initial post or notice the date of the disclaimer?

    PS I hope you bought those waders from our fashion boutique.

    PPS The trail mix offer still holds but some of the rasins appear to have legs.

    Comment by Warren— 2006/10/15 @ 05:24 PM — (Reply)

  19. I'll admit the trail mix is a fair offer and is very tempting. I'll have another talk with Jackie. Perhaps an amiable settlement is fast approaching.

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2006/10/15 @ 10:40 PM — (Reply)

  20. ...better check w/your Caddy too. I hear he carries a lot a weight w/nanc.

    Comment by Farmer John— 2006/10/16 @ 02:51 AM — (Reply)

  21. FJ - I didn't know nanc golfed? Does she have a fetish for caddies?

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2006/10/16 @ 12:20 PM — (Reply)

  22. Barry- How about one in "tickle me pink", the other in periwinkle? Green and orange would also be good. Do we allow them goggles?
    EB- If Arkansas is anything like Florida, grab the settlement trail mix quick, before the weevils move in!
    Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

    Nanc, If you can find someone to videotape the "Great Paint Mix" you really could turn it into a weekly fued show, with different blogger families spraying it out in hideous colors!

    Comment by elmers brother— 2006/10/16 @ 03:52 AM — (Reply)

  26. i've spoken to Jackie and I have agreed to settle providing you add some macadamia nuts to the trail mix.

    Comment by elmers brother— 2006/10/16 @ 03:56 AM — (Reply)

  27. will you also agree to buy your wife a new hat? it does not go well with that little mutt she's holding!

  35. who cares who bought what and whether it meets nanc's standards for fashion sense. The point is send me the trail mix so I can sell it on ebay and buy a storm door. My kids are freezing.

  39. now, if only warren would beg you to come on board, we could rename "longrange" "straightshooters"! or better yet, "nanc and the guys" - okay, okay - "nanc and the regulars" - nevermind...
