Me!
We’re going to Florida for Christmas and this is one of the things on our “must get” lists. I had no idea how bad the citrus situation was here in NC when we moved hee! Haha.

We’re stuck in Asheville for the duration. Put me down for a few oranges as well.

After yesterday, I can’t even begin to think about food. Not even citrus.

I am, once again, stuck in “the best little town in the South” — reading LIBERALISM by Ludwig von Mises. And blogging.

I’ve loving some quiet Asheville time – the streets seem a little emptier and stiller today.
I’m catching up on work here in the PA! office while listening to the last episode of
WPVM’s Making Progress
(why not a post about all of that hullabaloo oh hooligans of scrutiny?)

Hi everybody!
Chad, you can reach me at scrutinyhooligans@yahoo.com
Ash, spellcheck the post you linked to.
JBo, what was happening on Making Progress that we ought to pay attention to?
Lindsey, we may drop in and see you tomorrow night.
I’ve got a dozen bags of citrus in the trunk – Nova tangelos, Starburst tangerines, Navel oranges, Hamlin oranges, and Pink grapefruit. Too yummy.

Our last guests finally left an hour ago. Threw a lot of disk golf over three days and never left the property. Weather has been just perfect. I’ll be an elf all weekend.

Gordo –
That is the link to the *last* broadcast of Making Progress. Veronika, David Lynch, and Barry Summers have jumped off the Wally Bowen ship as it were. Not in a state of mutiny, but rather out of principle. WPVM just raised a bunch of money but it is all being funneled through MAIN, and thus it seems MAIN is making a mess of WPVM. It is all quite unfortunate since they are both so incredibly valuable to the community and city at large. Supposedly somewhere there is a rebuttal from Wally Bowen archived on the WPVM site, but I can’t find it. We can be expecting a story of sorts from the Mountain Xpress soon.
Yay to the Vitamin C factor –
JBo

Lindsey,
What’s up guy! How’s it hang’in? Ha, Ha!
I’m not in to knowing “how you do itâ€.
But I am going to call you and put you on a TV show if you will.
Email me at cnesbitt@carolinastompers.com
Enjoyed our conversation in the cold that day.
Tell these liberals what I have been saying all along -
“Chad don’t care who you sleep with. Or how many you sleep with. Or what you sleep with. Or how you do it! Chad just cares about people bringing their sexual business into other peoples business and children’s. Like Folsome Street. He’s got a real problem with that.â€
And everybody should.

Chad WING* Nesbitt seems to be all butthurt that Gordon was able to get Thomas & Muller’s permission to use them as references.
His latest post oozes with envy and confusion.
I suspect that, at this very moment, instead of spending time with his family – he’s fact-checking every coma on the application and essays. (In between Gaycaveman.com fapping-sessions.)
Yo Chad! Let me save you some time. I’ve read through all the applications, and even did some fact checking.
Gordon’s resume is impeccable – and no one who has met him, or worked with him, would be ashamed to vouch for his integrity and qualifications.
You can argue that Jones was obligated to vouch for Gordon. But people like Thomas, Muller, and Amy Sawyer don’t goof around when it comes to giving these kinds of references. Too much is at stake for their careers to do that.
So go ahead and pick apart the resume and essay questions. Have fun implying Gordon represents some imaginary leftist agenda. You must have quite a crush on him at this point.

I must have missed the episode wherein it is explained why Chud Nsbtt deletes all vowels. Is it some sort of Whl f Frtn thing where he has to buy them?

For folks who claim not to care about people’s private sexuality, y’all sure do seem to obsess.
It reminds me of a famous quote from another famous Stomper, Dn Yltn.

He doesn’t play nice with the other children, and it looks like the mean Admin took away his right to vowels…Strangely enough I think it has improved his writing.

Yeah, what is up with the vowl void?
As for where I am, right here in Asheville. I hate to travel around the holidays and deal with the choke of frenzied travelers. Although traviling ON the holidays is kind of sweet if you want the roads to yourself.
The very public MAIN/WPVM meltdown is unfortunate. Ironicly, I just started doing a radio show on WPVM. ( local music, sundays @ 5 )
My experience with URTV makes stepping into a radio show comparatively easy, but I fear the public spectacle will only discourage newcomers from getting involved.

Since staff is not here to enlighten you-Chad is disemvoweled. It is a peculiar penalty applied to unknowing trolls and the profane among us.
Usually, Chad just misses the odd vowel and not all of them.

Elf update:
Just rolled in from two days on the road performing as a juggling, magical elf at two malls in Knoxville. Saw several kids and families from last year and had a great time while working my ass off. West Town has a delightful Santa this year. He’s kind and sweet and smells good. Always a plus. I’ve probably worked with over fifty Santa’s through the years, and this guy is top shelf. Of course it’s hard to beat my favorite, a long time Santa’s Land and Asheville Mall Santa who left us for the North Pole in the sky a few years back. His real name was Ron and he was simply wonderful.
Papa Elf will be performing at Biltmore Village all next weekend at the annual Dickens festival, so, uh, bring the kids! It might be your only chance as he’ll be back on the road till Christmas.
