Do you have a few hours? Grab a beer, pull up a chair, and let me tell you my tale of woe.<BR/><BR/>Where to begin?<BR/><BR/>It all began two score and 7 years ago in rusty mobile home in a trailer park in small town in Illinois. My mother was addicted to nuts. My father had no nuts, and ran away.<BR/><BR/>My only childhood friends were squirrels. I learned their language and they taught me everything they knew about their culture - that is, nuts.<BR/><BR/>Schooling was practically nonexistent in my hometown, once I drove the local school board nuts.<BR/><BR/>So, I spent my formative years in a pool hall, perfecting my game. My education in political science came from Tubby Fingers Malone - never pay taxes on your winnings. I learned economics from Ear Wax Willy - don't let the trough feeders steal from the wealth builders. And I learned about hair care from my mentor Rancid "Rug" Crabtree - use only the best hair glue.<BR/><BR/>When Illinois began slipping liberal, I moved to Wisconsin to see if I could run this state into the ground. It was either that or join the military, and I sure as hell wasn't going to risk my life. I'm red-blooded and have a "Support The Troops" bumper sticker, but that's as far as I'll go.<BR/><BR/>I asked my childhood sweetheart to marry me and she agreed because she is deaf, dumb and blind (mostly dumb).<BR/><BR/>We had some kids (my wife is really dumb).<BR/><BR/>And now that brings me to today, where I am a self-made nut-selling businessgal.<BR/><BR/>As for writing to the HSO, what I said was "I wouldn't sign my name to a letter in that no-good lame POS rag for all the nuts in the world." I never said I wouldn't write a letter under someone else's name.<BR/><BR/>Well buddy. It's been fun.<BR/><BR/>I hope we can chat again soon.<BR/><BR/>It's nice getting this stuff out from under my toupe.<BR/><BR/>NSNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13208607.post-1158289099374866592006-09-14T19:58:00.000-07:002006-09-14T19:58:00.000-07:00Hey North Hudson Nut, I mean North Shore Nut. You...Hey North Hudson Nut, I mean North Shore Nut. You have stated that you won't write into the HSO anymore, yet rumor has it you have one of your friends submit letters that you actually authored. If true, how sad is that? Care to explain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13208607.post-1158264735541931392006-09-14T13:12:00.000-07:002006-09-14T13:12:00.000-07:00JPN:You mention nuts and the holidays in your CW r...JPN:<BR/><BR/>You mention nuts and the holidays in your CW recipe.
