Yeah, @Unchileno ("Oon-Chillay-No." "Un-Chillay-No," formerly of North Korea? Chillay-Jong-Un?), TBB wants you to think of more so he has company. Maybe you can think of @bds1961, too, since he and TBB seem to play nicely together. And Chillay, maybe you can also think of @RobMc so can record whatever happens for posterity. Sorry, TBB, my buddy: you dropped the bar of soap in a San Quentin shower on that one; i.e., you "left yourself wide open." Word in the yard is that many inmates have fashioned keys that they can't wait to try on your chastity belt. Lol. Ayaq

"Dildo Runner?" Maybe they forgot to check all of his orifices-sesses. Lol. Ayaq

Awwwwww!! Awwwwwwww!!! Hey, @Mule, attitude, outlook, and hope are 95% of the battle. You've got a great outlook, pal. Bro? Brudder? Brudder from anudder udder? Lol. Stiff upper lip, Sir Mule, Count of Awws-A-Lot! Ayaq

"Wild Fire (don-unt, don-unt) . . . you make my heart a liar (don-unt, don-unt) . . . you make a wicked . . . smooooooooothie . . ., Wild Fire . . ." Happy day to you, Sir Wild Fire, Lord of Torches-A-Lot. Ayaq

Hey, gentlemen, happy birthday to the both of yous. Hope you gentlemen (term used very loosely here!) have a great day. Do us all a favor and have many more, eh? Ayaq

I think (my French is a little rusty) @FRENCHI is trying to say "My meth lab is in my garage, because it's dangerous business." Or something like that. I haven't practiced my French since I was expelled from France for slashing Frenchi's tires on his Peugeot. Or was it his Yugo? Been a while. Lol, Frenchi, you purveyor of all things sinister and French, you!! Ayaq

LMFAO, Run D.M.C.!

Yeah, @pwrcrzy52, Sweet @AthenA would be happy--I'm sure, yes--to grace your passenger seat with her plush tushie anyday, anyhow, even rain or shine (because it has a hardtop, you see). Lol, then we (I?) would be jealous, seeing her in your arms as you do doughnuts in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Ayaq

@StinkO, you remember your fave, Mr. Manilow? "At the Stinko . . . Stinko Cabana . . . he fell in love . . ." Lol. Welcome to the >XI< House 'o Horrors--no, not "Whores," "Horrors." Ayaq

Sweet ride, @pwrcrzy52--with "true" dual-exhausts, too. Put some "Wet 'n Shine" on those tires, and post the pictures after!!! Ayaq

Hey, @luke144, Happy birthday to you, sir! Better late than never? You can't be "partly-pregnant." Wow, don't know where that came from. (In deep, raspy COPD breath): "Luke . . . cugh, cugh . . . @TBB is your Fodder . . cugh, cugh . . ." Lol. Ayaq

Hey buddy, you should change your name to "Eightgun." Eight is Enough? Eightgun van Patton? Lol. Ayaq

Maybe he should switch to moose nuggets? Cow patties? Elephant dung? C'mon, @PainKiller, gotta add some variety to that diet!! Lol, bud, sorry--that last one was gross. Ayaq

Hey, happy birthday, @Sharpe (pronounced--by me, anyway--"Sharp-ay"). You, I'm almost positive, were the subject of RuPaul's song "Work it Girl." "Work . . . work it, girl, . . . do your thing, to the rhythm of my heartbeat . . . Sharp-ay_Sharp-ay_Sharp-ay!!" Or was it "Shante (pronounced "Shont-ay")?" Lol. Happy birthday to Sir Sharp-ay, Lord of Works-it-A-Lot! Ayaq

Man, Harry, I wish I had a thermal-vision-capable camera with me on the night I was looking through my Leopold Golden Ring II variable scope at Sasquatch. I'd be flying us ALL to the >XI< fests if I had one. One elder in New Stuyahok remarked, "Geez, Paul, you should've shot it--you'd be a millionaire right now!" I responded with "Dennis, we were surrounded by Sasquatches. If I shot that one, you would've seen me and Phil's bodies floating down the river a few days later." After I told "Phil (I see where I forgot to change his name from "James," his real name) to throw more logs on the fire, we could see several pairs of "reflecting eyes" looking at us from the trees. The white eye-pairs were between 10 - 13' feet off the ground, 100' feet away, and the red eye-pairs were only 4 - 5' high. They were watching us to see how we would react. I instinctively knew that if I tried to shoot one with my semi-auto Remington .30-06, we were gonna die. It's just one of things that you just know. I will be sure to capture this experience in my book. I'm a Christian, so I'm not really afraid of dying (spoiler alert: we're all going to someday), but I remember praying to God that I wanted to see my daughter again, and I really, REALLY, didn't wish to be torn limb-from-limb. I've been blessed with a photographic memory, so I should be able to convey an accurate picture that--hopefully--make the readers feel like they were there, too. Ayaq P.S. - @RobMc, aka "Run D.M.C.," you frickin' crack me up, bud!

Congrats, @Gam3rGurL, and good luck with everything. The most fond memories I have involve my son and daughter. Word of advice--kiss and hug them as much as you can while they're young and utterly (udderly? Hmm?) helpless, because Chyle, they do grow quick sumthin' fierce! Ayaq

Lol, bud, I appreciate your "piqued interest." And your robust imagination and sense of humor ("humour" if you're on the wrong side of "The Pond"). I got the toughest part behind me; i.e., getting started. The rest of the book will write itself--I just have to paint the pictures using words. Good idea on mentioning what I carried in my gun-case (spoiler alert: 2 rifles and 1 pistol). All I have to do is recount each daily experience--yes, daily--that we had with Sasquatch. One in particular was especially terrifying, because we were literally surrounded at one point--and in the Alaskan twilight of 1:00 a.m. in the summer. I will do my absolute best to paint the horrifying scenario with my words . . . Ayaq

Thank you, Sweet Ice Cream!! Yes, Happy Day to you Dads. My son's a Junior at Indiana U. and my daughter's a Junior in high school. Both are "Straight A" students. (In Yoda voice) "Proud Dad, I am. Ayaq

Buddy, you see the guitar player's face? He's asking "How many does he have stuffed up there?" Lol. Ayaq

Hey, bud, you'll be first on my list, along with a few others (yeah, you too, @TBB and @bds1961 and @etc., yadda-yadda, et al., and enough already!). Lol. The "cart-before-the-horse" kinda thing. In less than two hours, I was able to restructure and rewrite the diatribe--I mean, "story"--so it makes a more logical, sequential order. Like I said, the first draft was only a congealing (congelation? conglomeration? copulation?) of memories that I had to jot down, lest I forget. I've already spotted two errors in my scan (above). Like I said, "work-in-progress." The important thing is that I march forward. I've always been a fan of "Patrick McManus." They Shoot Canoes, Don't They? , anyone? Did you notice the author's name? Hmm? Lol. Ayaq

Hehehhehhehehehahhehahehehehehehaehhaea!! Touche (with the apostrophe above the "e"), mon friar (lol, auto-correct chose "fraire" to "friar." Oh well.), good one, bud. In less-than-two-hours time, I have re-arranged my previous submittal to the following (bear in mind that this is a work-in-progress): Like I said, bud, work-in-progress. Love you as much as a "straight guy" can love ya, Brudda. Lol. Ayaq

Lol, @bds1961! I wonder--but really, not really--how many get "accidentally" stuffed into his only orifice below belly-button level? Eww! Geez, bud, see what you started? Now @TBB is a-gonna weigh in . . . Ayaq

Hey, thanks for the frickin' encouragement!! Lol. I've been messing around too long, breaking too many hearts, which is the last thing I told myself I would do--again. I was a basketball star in college, wrestler and Capt. of the X-Country running team in high school: need I continue? You don't need to look for women--they come looking for you. Or me, with my rugged good-looks and inescapable charm. Lol. Have at it, guys, my loving brothers of the Strapping Gents(?) of >XI<. What I'm trying to say, Duke CDS-INK, Count-of-Doubts-A-Lot, is that no one writes like Ayaq (i.e., "me"). Lol. I'm like an artist, painting pictures with my stories. By the way, the "book" that I've written, to coin your term, is only ONE PAGE. So far. Search for some of the "articles" I've written for the ">XI< Weekly Enquirer." LMAO. I like being challenged. I just started again tonight, one PAGE TWO. Lol, still as-of-yet. I've been thinking--working, that is, so I tell myself--about how to structure my actual book; what I submitted were just thoughts typed down to capture some high-lights. Hey, I'm wasting precious typing and "painting time" responding to this response. Wish me luck, you well-wishers. I know there's a few of you out there!! Ayaq

Hey, @FlyingDutch--talk about 5 days late and $200,000 (how many Euros is that, @RobMc? Wait, never mind, you're a "Brexiteer;" any of our lovely European allies wanna help out this hapless Yank?) late, Mr. Dutch. I loved how the farmer sang about you--in particular--in the movie Fiddler of the Roof: "If I were a Dutch-man . . . yadda-yadda-yadda-yadda-bling . . . I would have all the Luscious Ladies of >XI< in the world, and I would sing . . ." Or something like that, or other. I got the lyrics from the likes of @TBB, I swear on his third cousin's--thrice-removed--Great-great-grandmother's grave, sir. Happy birthday to you, Sir Dutchy, Sire of Goes-Dutch-A-Lot. Ayaq

Awesome, Sweet Ice Cream--you didn't seem like the "I didn't know what I dun had 'til I didn't have it no mo" type. Lol. Of course, the reverse is also true: That damned grass isn't always "greener" on the other frickin' side!! Love is definitely a two-way street. It takes two to tango. Wake me up before you go-go . . . yadda, etc. Lol--nay, still "lol-ing" from the first "lol." We Strapping Gents(?) of >XI< surely do truly, faithfully, and honestly love AND adore all of you Luscious, Lovely Ladies of >XI<! Any Strapping Gents(?) of >XI< wanna add some manly love behind my statement? Hmm? Happy Father's Day to you Dads in two days' time. Ayaq
