Grumpy Lunch Bunch, May 29, 2008

[Forty Rod]

In keeping with our tradition of trying different foods and different places, the World Famous Grumpy Lunch Bunch will meet 11:00am, Thursday, May 29, 2008 at the World Famous Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant inside the Bass Pro Outdoor Word store at 7777Victoria Gardens Lane in Rancho Cucamonga.

(I believe that's the longest sentence I ever wrote.   )

It's west of the I-15 freeway between Foothill and Baseline.

See you there.

Well, I had no clue there was a restraunt inside a Bass Pro shop, in fact I have never been to one. Wow! that is gonna be great. The food must be real fresh. Do you catch it and have the cook fry it up for you? Fantastic. Right by the 15 you say?
Sorry, can't make it. I surely can't make it down that way two weeks in a row on my paycheck. I will however be at the Ambush 3:10 to Norco this weekend and I will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express. 
I saw enough of those grumpy guys last week at the Frontier days shoot in Lucerne to last me a while. Funny I didn't see you there pard. 103 in the shade too toasty fer ya? However, your buds, Cliffhanger, Rowdy Yates, Prof Bullspit were there and no sign of you. Oh yes, you were busy making arrangements for the lunch get together. Friends with the maitre D are you? You are allowed into a Bass Pro Shop? You go in disguise? Old Scout sneaks you in?
Well, I hope I get to see your grumpy butt at Norco this week so I can really unload on you in person.

Howdy, I have a gift for you.  I'll leave it at All Hat's tent if I don't run into you. Look for the derby.

A derby fer me? Ya gotta be kidding. I'll look great in one. Does it have a pin wheel on top? I sure hope you stick around long enough to see me pard. It really is the only reason I joined The Cowboys, just to see you once in a while. 
What in the world did I do to get a gift? I can recripricate (oh, big word, hurt my head) if I can only remember to throw 'em in my cart.
You will see me easy, I'll be the one with the yellow raingear with a picture of my dog Flubadub on the back.

Howdy, you are so full of sh.....eep dip.    

I'll see you tomorrow.

Really? I resemble that remark. I hope the place is still there when I get there. I would hate to have a tornado lift up a bovine and drop that thing on my wooden noggin. The I might be covered with bull.... dip.   

[Mahpila]

em there was a tornado  in Moreno valley   today  that bull might be flying   in the air as We speak 

[Howdy Doody]

I don't know! I don't get it! What is up with Grumpy Lunch Bunch anyways




How the heck can you have a Grumpy Bunch Lunch if none of the ones that show to eat aren't really very grumpy 



For example, the fearless leader of this culinary pack of old curmudgeons, is of course Forty Rod. I drove on down to Norco for a annual match this past weekend and yup and shore nuff the guy is there. Not just there mind you but he has brought me a gift. A gift, for the likes of me........... dang, whatta ya gonna say? I feel most humbled, and the fact is  that I give him a hard time now and then, well actually most of the time, well actually all of the time and he gives me a great gift.
A gift? What could Forty Rod give Howdy that would be legal, not be in the shape of a bullet or in the form of a big club?












That is what. I can't wait to get my Dr. Dentons on and slip into bed and have Heidi Doody read the words for me, while I look at the pictures. What a way to to get off to dreamland. Reading the book should put me there with a big ol' smile on my face.

Thanks Forty Rod. You are a real pard and a true friend. Even if Marsahlette knows that I am a better hugger   

[Forty Rod]

What can I say?  You're welcome.

Now, drag your tired old butt down here for lunch...and bring Heidi.
