The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive's been sporadic in appearing on Skins's island lately, due to "issues" with health.
One hopes the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive didn't see Oscar Wilde's bonfire about cowboy hats; he might blow one of his few remaining gaskets.

Original message
A "dear" DUer called me and reminded me that it would be good manners if I dropped by to tell everyone that I'm still alive, so I'm doing so.
Still hanging in there, I am; though after the fact I found out that my bizzaro chin-splitting accident did indeed produce concussion number five (though not to bad a one this time). But still, there's even more reason now for you all to forgive me when I forget things.
How about a contest? Anyone had their brain-bell rung more than five times? (Boxers and pro football players are welcome to enter)
I think for his own good--we don't want anything bad to happen to the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, after all--he should be permanently strapped to a wheelchair so he doesn't keep on hurting himself.

11. We're usually gone the first weekend of August (Old Home Day in the town in Vermont where I grew up), but should be around otherwise.
Plenty o' restaurants where we live, plus TWO town beaches (not that we ever go to them; we're just not beach people); a steam train / riverboat ride on the Connecticut River, and little towns so charming you'll feel like you ate too much cotton candy after visiting them.
Any wonder we don't go anywhere except to visit relatives? The "summer people" leave town around Labor Day, but we lucky ones who live here get to stay all year.

22. I've had the "body-off frame restoration" on one shoulder, followed by further(open) surgery to try to correct the suprascapular nerve damage caused by the first surgery.
I wasn't around, so I missed the "most scars" contest. Can I enter late with a total of 27 (that I can remember?). I could get back to you with an exact count if I had some time to add the, up.
PS: The scar is below the point of my chin, so the DU ladies don't have to worry that it's ruined my chin-dimple...but I have to go back to thr VanDyke beard configuration for now, since I can't shave the cut area.
Oh no, not the Van Dyke sort of beard.
How about the full-face beard, from the top of the forehead on down, covering the face?

18. When your brain whaps the inside of your skull, there are consequences...look at Muhammad Ali, in the state that he's in these days, from taking too many shots to the head - such an intelligent guy, and look at what the brain damage did to him.

25. I appreciate your concern. With the latest set of brain scans confirming the damage from the MS and Lyme disease, concussion #5 is not great news to hear.
But I'll manage. I've always done so.
But the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive would manage better if he were permanently strapped down to a wheelchair, so he doesn't hurt himself.

27. Irish is as Irish does, same as being an American Indian...
It's not the percentage of blood that counts (though I'm 50-50), it's the way that you deal with life that makes you what and who you are.
Yeah, yeah, we've heard that before, from Chief S itting Bull.
