We just left Freeport, Maine driving up the coast to Bar Harbor. Freeport was pretty cool (pretty neat) and home to L.L. Bean – or maybe it is the other way around. Since the last trivia question was answered so quickly I’ve decided to do another one – for another prize. To win post here (Facebook or Twitter won’t count) the following:
- What does the L.L. stand for in L.L. Bean? (No it isn’t Ladies Love.)
- What is the proper name of the company’s iconic product – featured to the right? (The name it was called when it was first sold.)
- What was the final score of the WCU vs. Georgia Tech game? (Happening later this evening – watch it on ESPN3.)
Here you go – the winner will get something cool from the road. When you read this we should be safely unpacking in Bar Harbor.
I’m not entirely sure why I am posting this – or captioning it the way I have. Maybe it is this.
Maybe it is just a cheap ploy to get more people to come to my site.
Or – maybe it is just because it is Monday and I need a good laugh and remembering this moment from Saturday night definitely makes me laugh. No – I am not laughing at Nick – I am laughing near him. All apologies to the nice hosts of the party who went inside and let us take over your yard and keg. I find you equally hospitable and responsible for events of the evening.
What can you say about that? Road House. That’s what.
I’ve got to thank Nick for this one. I thought I had seen everything on YouTube but obviously I had missed this one or someone else showed it to me and I had successfully blocked it out. Great – time to go back to regression therapy. Wonder if I can bill that to Nick’s account?
Yes – we watched this and many other YouTube classics on Dobbins fancy TV (here, here and here).
No – I didn’t hide your remote control. (Maybe ask Nick?)
No – calling and texting late at night won’t always get you a response.
Yes – I did tape everything I could find to your wall.
No – I didn’t put Jimmy in the attic.
Yes – I did put Jimmy in the microwave.
We were sifting through items at a local estate sale looking for bargains when I ran across this small paper back book from 1965 in great condition. How could I turn it down? Titled “The Drinking Man’s Diet or How to Lose Weight with a Minimum of Will Power (also recommended for ladies and teetotalers)” – it sounded like the plan for weight loss. Over the coming weeks as I read and explore this find I’ll post more about what is suggested. In the mean time ponder these -
- Ad exec. off 8 lbs. in 60 effortless days
- Pub. rels. expert off 28 lbs. in 12 months. Has held his weight without “pain” for 2 years since.
- Retired steel exec. off 9 lbs. first 30 days. Held his weight easily to date. (Wow – since 1965?)
- Promotion chief lost 14 lbs. the easy way in 30 days. Holding firm without torture since.
- Partner, accounting firm, fought a losing “calorie counting” battle for 18 months. Four weeks on this diet off 16 lbs. “It’s been my salvation.”
- Working widow, 3 children. Lost 9 lbs. 4 weeks. “Still take my two 6PM tension breaking martinis.”
- Marketing exec., national firm, lost 5 lbs. first weekend.
All from the back cover – if the back cover is this good just imagine the gems inside. Stay tuned – more wonderful insights coming.
This is the fox decoy that is hanging out around the office to deal with the goose problem we’ve been having. I am now taking suggestions for what to do with the Fantastic Mr. Fox. Ground rules are – the fox can not be damaged or moved. Otherwise – I’m game.
The notification of our new friends…
Most of you are aware that we were unsuccessful with the recent application of spray deterrent to keep the Canadian geese away from the buildings. We are not sure why it didn’t work as we have had success with it a other locations. Our next course of action is the use of predatory decoys, which have been proven to be effective. I have purchased two fox decoys that you will probably see around the buildings. It is important that we move them around regularly and I wanted to alert everyone so that no one would be alarmed should they come across one of them.
I’m thinking a costume of some type is in order.
