Incoming Call...
Every time the phone rings,I get a little message on my television.
The Lizzard King works for Direct TV,so we're all hooked up with every kind of widget they have to offer...Oh yes!..We got every live HD Sunday Ticket digitaly enhanced movie bonanza and delicatessen step right up and win a baby type techno-weenie frivolity you can imagine!
But I've never been more pleased with any of this cornucopia,(notice how I used a seasonal reference there..Huh..huh?) of fine electronic value, than when I saw;
Incoming call:
Auld Hat..
(Odd that they should know her nom de plume,..but there it is)..
Back when I very first started to put my incoherent thoughts out into the blogosphere,I figured it would be a good way to get some of the clutter I'd accumulated over the years out of my head,so that I could make room for new and different clutter,as well as the constant barrage of quotable quotes from, "The West Wing",when what to my wondering eyes should appear??,..but a comment from a kindred soul...
Holy Crap!..Some one actually read this shit!
Just Angela.
Evangeline.
Auld Hat.
Through all these incarnations,we have been friends,..and on this very day I was finally able to put a charming voice to nearly two years of correspondence.
I know,..I know.
So many of my blog buddies have been there,and done that,and I've had some small idea of how enlightening it truly is.
Still,..It absolutely made my day!
Thanx for calling Sunshine!

Hola Sling!
Wow you do have some set-up! I could not imagine having such a luxury but then I am a techy ignoramus and have to stand back in amazement. Hat Mama is cool aint she? Enjoy your Sunday--be sure to get out though and enjoy nature....blessings
cs-I don't know how to work half the crap we got.Whenever something goes awry,I holler at LK and comes in and fixes it.Now there's a luxury that should be in every home!
The Hat is totally cool..PLUS!..She's all sparkly. :)
tee
Also, do you realize that you are the reason I have a new mom?
Yeah -Lorraine and I did the chain of events playback extraordinaire:
I found you.
You found JP.
JP found Lorraine.
Lorraine found Rosemary.
Rosemary found me.
I have a new mom.
SCHHHHWEEEET!
Hat- ;)
I do the lineage thing from time to time as well,and that's pretty much how I remember it.It used to be that you could find new people by hitting "next blog",but these days every other site is some rank porn spot.
Just about everyone on my blogroll has come from a core few.This is a good thing...Now I say we all get together and overthrow the government...you know,..for fun.
that human hat is a link in just about every chain. i have no idea how i "met" her, but i'm glad i did. she turned up one day after i saw her around "town". or was it that she had been in my science class all semester and decided to say hi in the hall one day...
Ok, I'm not one of the core few... but I do love the whitty banter and repartee which flows through these blogs like fine wine!
I met Rosemary, then Hat, then you and the others.
Love,
Julie
I know all of you from sparkley smart, Eric the Red 7, whom I met from Bigassbelle, whom I met from Joe.my.god. Not sure how many degrees of separation that is, but the nostalgic part of me is going with "6". Hat's off to you all!
Tee hee hee.
I'm down with the overthrow thing...could the Lizzard King score us some phasers or something?
6 degrees of auld hat :)
Too funny.. let's all play 6 degrees of Hat and see where we land ;)
SIX DEGREES OF HAT: The Party Game of the Century!
Kevin Bacon was in 'Digging to China' with J.C. Quinn.
J.C. Quinn was in 'Violated' with Samantha Fox.
Samantha Fox had Thanksgiving dinner with the family that Auld Hat nannied for.
This is HAT degree of: 3
you know, I can't even remember exactly how I came to the Hat, but it was through one or all of the aforementioned. No matter, she is sparkly, witty and pretty, smart and tart, and more fun than Christmas. Plus, her voice is mad-sexy, don't you think?
Lorraine found me via that "next blog" thing. I give her full credit for every bloggy connection ever since.
And, I once wore an old hat. Does that give me 1 degree of separation?
wow, unlimited channels and gizmos!
reminds me of reverend jim on taxi and his dynamic perfectionism.
was it delawarites or delawarians?
..and the comments on the shit I write just keep rollin' in!...Sheesh,..don't you people read books?
Anyway..
1) In 1986 I cut the tip off my left thumb cutting drywall on a table saw.
2)While collecting that lucrative,"Workman's Comp",I found a job under the table bar-backing at the Arrowhead Hilton lodge.
3)I rose to the lofty rank of head bartender..and got involved heavily in Cocaine.
4)I married a girl 17 years my junior,and fathered my 3rd child at the age of 39.
5)The whole thing fell apart,and I ended up doing time for distribution of a controlled substance.
6)..then I met Hat!
Hey!..This thing actually works!
A blessing on all your houses. :)
You are all amazing. I'm too old to remember how I found anyone, just glad to sit on the edge of the party and watch.
mom- Oh,..you're not getting off that easy!..
We fully expect you to sew the new flag for us,once we overthrow the government...
I'm thinkin' Paisely background,with houndstooth stars and stripes..and a cool dragon.
So- can we turn Six Degrees of Hat into a drinking game while we're at it? Just askin'
Sling- the past makes you the person you are today dear, pleasant or not.. You obviously learned from your mistakes, which makes you the amazing person you are now. Though no doubt it totally sucked at the time..
I knew hat as evangeline and I loved her then....but she went away and i would keep checking but no vangie. Then she came back and I love her even more.....isn't her voice like lemonade on a hot day? And when you finally meet her.....she loooks like an angel.
Doralong- I've been playing the 10 or 12 degrees of Hat drinking game for a few hours now,and I can tell you this,..for true.
It really didn't suck...Really.
"You will never be burdoned beyond your capacity to bear,nor tempted beyond your ability to resist".
..The truth of these words,in my experience,is irrefutable.
Thanks for your kind remarks. ;)
Rosie- Damm her Bette Davis eyes!
tee
;)
Now wait just one doggone minute! Lorraine found Rosemary because of ME! I got Rosemary into blogging, and Rosemary found Lorraine because of me, so I need to be inserted into that lineage somewhere, or I'm going to sit in the corner and pout all day long.
And for me, Charlie was the nexus of it all... I am pretty darned sure I found Sling because of Charlie, and Hat because of Sling. I found almost everyone via Charlie's blog in the beginning.
Oh, and I have the DirecTV caller ID feature too. Pretty cool, 'cept I never see AH or Sling or anyone's names come up on it. Just The Daughter, or telemarketers. :(
gina- Don't pout doll,..yer definitely one of the Matriarchs. ;)
And Charlie was indeed,the nexus of many of my friendships as well.
All these "begats" are beginning to take on Biblical proportions!
Maybe we should get it documented,..you know,..to avoid all that bickering after the reading of the will.
Wait, JP was actually the crux of it all for me --- I was sucked in by his Fucking with Fran posts. So much so that for the first couple of weeks, I refered to him as the "Fucking with Fran Guy" in my head. That's how I found the first few people. That's how I pretty much got a cybercrush on the Hat, and I was almost convinced that Sling was an old friend named Morry from Germany, going incognito.
We should totally do a reality show -- seriously, the first blogger reality show. We'd be so popular, and make millions. Well, thousands, anyway.
Oh,..I leave my Blog-Clock to lorraine..She needs it in the morning to know what time to stop reading blogs,and get some actual work done...she told me that one time.
..dibs on JP's Bit Banner collection...just sayin'
I get Lorraine's Coihead logo.
Also - JINKIES! I forgot about Gina! (bad hat! bad!)
Okay Sling, I won't pout. But I'm not sure I like the term "matriarch"...sounds so OLD. Ugh. ;)
I doubt we COULD document our lineage now that charlie's blog is gone. His blog roll was in chronological order so that would help me figure out who begat whom. I could almost go back to old posts of mine on my blogspot blog to see at what point various persons started commenting on my blog... I remember it took a really long time before I was accepted by some of you...just like in high school. sigh... Forever the dorky fifth wheel.
As for what I want willed to me, I definitely want that cat on your banner, and Hat's bannery skilz, and JPs video collection, and Lorraine's recipes, and....
more cowbell- Oh,..I see..You're trying to get his "Fucking with Fran" bit banner..Well I dibbsed it!!..dibsed??..crap..However you spell it,it's a universal,"Mine,mine,mine!" thingy..
I'm pretty sure it's in the Constitution.
Hat- I'll trade you every other weekend of "Pop 101",for partial custody of lorraine's Koihead logo...let's keep the lawyers out of this.
gina- Did I say Matriarch??..I meant "Young'n"..:)
..now that I've successfully sidestepped thatfaux pas..
Okay,..you get my cat banner,..but I think the only fair thing is to put Hat's banner skillz,JP's videos,and lorraine's recipes into a safe,and we all of us play "Rock,Paper,Scissors" to see who wins..
Been away from blogging for awhile but back now. I granted you an award at my new spot
Danielle- There you are!..Nice to see you out and about.
I've changed the link on my sidebar to your new digs.
Thanks for the smile award kid!
I'm gonna pass it on..
So, no on overthrowing the government?
I love getting phone calls from my blogger friends...have received phone calls from about 9 different bloggers..some more then once..some a lot...some even come to the might town of west, by Goddess, Texas and visit...
your welcome to come visit....anytime...
lorraine-Oh,..we're gonna overthrow the government all right!..
I say we start with the people that make those impossible to open hard plastic containers that CD's come in!..I know,..they're not the actual government,..but I just don't like them.
Yellowdog G.- True story,,I don't even have my own number memorized.
I keep it written down on a piece of paper in my wallet,just in case I get arrested.
..and you can count on having me sleep on the floor if I ever get to West-By-Goddess-Texas! :)
