Tony, if I was you I would run...don't walk...down to Slippin' Jimmy's emporium and snag the deal on that Chrysler T&C wagon on special today.  It won't last long when word gets out that it was once owned by our very own Bob Jackman.  Sure it had a bent bumper or whatever from that garbage truck rear-ender but it's a solid unit.

I'll have you know, and happy to divulge, that I currently AM working a deal with the sweet (though beguilingly shy) Ms. All-lace, on that very car. Only slight hold up was checking in with our friend Bob. Just to clarify the point - he did, in fact, run the wagon, in reverse, into Big Guido's garbage truck. But, as Guido and his partner, Vito, looked on, he got out and straightened the bumper...BY HAND! Guido and Vito slunk back in the truck and trashed out of there, like pronto.

I put a case of refundable milk bottles down on it as collateral.

I do believe that Jimmy slipped our Bob J. a couple hundred for that story to become fact.  The repair from that garbage truck "love tap" resulted in a brand new rear half from the wrecking yard being welded in place with precision....couple pounds of bondo and a splash job and it's top drawer.  Hurry on down to Slippin' Jimmy's before it's too late!

Your last three posts plus JB's, got me laughing tears here. Oh, and I'll have you know, it wasn't JUST a podium finish at the Bullwinkle 250 - it was a first! Milo J. Moose and I lapped the entire herd, ah, I mean, field!

...............at first telling, this story could have been derived from a "Monback Brothers" backing indecent......... of which there are legion........it could just as well be a tale twisted from the Cola journals......albeit with a different set of victims this time `round

@john-barry Yep; there's heavy damage when the Monback Bros go too far, too fast, in the R gear.

Loved to listen to the show. I miss old Garrison Keillor. He is still with us; about 81 I should imagine by now.

@john-barry Oh no - it wasn't the Caddy I was referencing. It was the Chevy Vega I bought from him "BACK IN THE DAY" in 1972. I just want a refund. I'll drop by to see ECILA, later on today. Maybe by then she will have awoken from her lot nap.

....is it really a LOT nap if darling ECILA can expect to be awakened this morning?

No, come to think of it, it must be something other!  Scared

I rue the day you added that corn-eating moose to your already formidable arsenal

The corn was already there - he just showed up. He knocks on the door every morning wanting his corn popped and buttered! The nerve of some meese!

If I looked like him and got called a moose I would develop an eating disorder too.....he's a geeraff I tell ya!

@jack-dodds My curiosity piqued; I did some short research to learn that the animal is, in fact, an African Female Impala. Examples (2):

african female impala 1
african female impala 2

A Giraffe:

Gee raff

A North American Moose:

north american moose

and, finally, a laughing, Southern Hemisphere Hysterical Hyena:

hysterical laughig hyena

 

Ending my zoological report for the hour.

Hey boys....guess what....you were all wrong.  Tony "Wild Kingdom" Perrone's research is correct.  In future you boys can call me by my given name......Chevy.   Btw...send popcorn....the bowl's almost empty!

Well the giraffe wholesaler sold them to us as such but in reading the fine print on the sales receipt with a magnifying glass, there is a clause that states "may be substituted with impalas as required".  Buyer beware I guess.......
