I got my hubby to have a look but he says the pic is too small - he's not sure if it's him.

You guys know him better. Does that walk look familiar to you? (I hope it's not Del. He might face a shoplifting charge.)

Yep. Might just be. He's been missing from this thread for quite a while.

Is that a Cheeto's or Dorito's sack? That could be a clue.

Well, I'm not going to be much help, I'm a-feared. I don't know the guy so can't pitch in.

I DO, however, recognize the bag of chips. Too well.

Me too, but I prefer the *crunchy* kind as opposed to the puffs.

I guess it's time I fess up. I am not really a writer. The reason I joined this site is because I am officially announcing my candidacy for the 2012 Presidential election.

The neighbor kid (my chief of staff-to-be) suggested I start searching for vice-presidential hopefuls. So if any of you are interested, kindly let me know and I will begin the vetting process.

Perks of job?
1) You can use me as target practice when we go quail hunting.
2) Free spelling lessons to help you in your writing, graciously offered by your predecessor Dan Quayle
3) Lifetime green fee passes at Quail Ridge Golf Course....sure, it's public, but think of the publicity instead

Okay, I'll quell the quail stuff.

Bryce! I am in a quandary over your soliciting us ex-quinquagenarions in this Quixotic quest to collect your quota of votes. Such old folks may quail at the task and quiver at the thought of so much responsibility. Their quaking could destabilize this thread and quash all hopes of your finding your candidate without intro-thread quibbling.

However, your offer of the golfing (not to mention all the quaffing on the 13th hole) does qualify your request and I have no quarrel with it. Quid pro quo and all that.

So, yes, although the thought makes me a little queasy, I will head up the queque and run against your quarry.

Never quit! Tell the others to quack off. And you can quote me on that!

Gail, I'd love to have you on the ticket. You have a way with words, and that could save me the expense of a teleprompter.

Unfortunately, the South Africa thingie presents a problem. How are you with counterfeiting birth certificates?

Who says I was born in South Africa? And according to my current birth certificate I'm not quite twenty nine years old. And on the Martian one I'm nine hundred and.... oh shoot! That would be telling.

I see that. Fortunately Cray doesn't know which end is up (on a chart either) and nobody can read his handwriting anyway. Someone should tell him to chart new course and go play in the Newbie Pub.
