got the shirt lord bovine

[Big Poppa]

Jack Ive got my shirt. Thanks a ton! I usually frown on trademark infringers, but you get a kitchen pass. I will post a pic when i find an approipriately humorous setting.
thanks....hows the strap lowering experiment going?

 

[SteveB]

Big Poppa,

You know, if Jack lowers his strap, all his Bongos will develop stress cracks from the difference in atmospheric pressure!

 

[bovinehost]

Glad you got it. I hear a certain head repair tech/lawn maintenance guy was a big hit around the water cooler with his "custom shop" shirt.

Thanks for the kitchen pass. I'm making so much money on these shirts that I have to go to DC on Monday to do real work, so I'll be outta touch for two weeks. They toss me out in the woods almost as soon as I get there. I'm not sure they love me like they should, but they pay me well and hey, it gets me out of the house.

I have two straps and have lowered one. In my opinion, it is VERY low. I fashioned a deep-sea diving outfit for a Bongo, lowered it slowly, played it for a while, checked myself out in the mirror (like that's something new) then brought it up verrrrrry slowly to avoid the bends. I think it's been - so far - a success. As was mentioned, I want to be careful at first about the difference in atmospheric pressure.

Looking forward to seeing the man, the shirt, the quote.

Jack

Jack,

What takes you to DC? I thought that all of your time was consumed between Cowpilot and the cafepress cash cow?

Seriously, though.. what's your line of work that takes you to DC? I think your experience with all things bovine will prove useful in that town, what with all the bull...

Jack
Im getting on the phone with my broker and shorting Ciroc stock and olive futures.
Do these top secret govie types know of your drinking problem? Do you have to submit to urine tests? Do you have a good masking agent to fool the testers? Maybe Barry Bonds could give you a few hints.

Do you keep Heinz the wonder bass wrapped in a electric blanket on low with a ciroc hot water bottle while you are gone?

What are we going to do without Lord Bongo for two weeks?

WHo is going to step up in his absence.......an enquiring mind wants to know these and other questions

 

[Big Poppa]

SteveB
If Jack told you he would have to dispose of you.

Can you imagine a better front for a spy then as a mild mannered vodka swilling, necklace wearing forum host?

just like james bond........lord, bongo, lord

Big Poppa,

I'll have to keep that in mind when my daughter reaches dating age.

You're right about Jack, though. He's the perfect infiltrator!

My secret is out! Yes, it's true, when governments need to be overthrown, when regimes need to be changed, when slinky foreign women need to be wined and dined and made to give up state secrets, when the chips are down and the salsa isn't spicy enough, when danger looms (as it so loves to do), when stormclouds gather and all the usual approaches have failed, the President calls me.

Actually, in my former life in the military, I was a linguist, and sometimes they need me to go mold the minds of young linguists in an isolated environment. Nothing too sneaky there, I think.

just like james bond

Only I drive a Honda Accord. I'll tell you who, in his younger days, really looked like James Bond - Big Poppa's poppa, that's who. Anyone remember that photo of Ernie onstage in a tux? He made Sean Connery look dull, and that is the truth.

Do these top secret govie types know of your drinking problem?

The last time I went up there, someone had thoughtfully left a bottle of good vodka on my nightstand. I think they're getting to know me, and to know know know me, is to love love love me, right?

I think, if I can find a box and get to it before things get nutso (my father in law arrives from Peru tomorrow, I leave early Monday morning, band rehearsal tonight, etc etc), Heinz will not need the electric blanket. One of our forum members (who initially owned my desert gold single hummer Bongo) has had his Stingray 5 stolen, and Heinz stepped up and is coming off the bench to help out. I never should have let the wife talk me into getting rid of the extra bass boxes!

(Fear not, Travis, I am working on it.)

And now - more coffee!

 

[TSanders]

Hey Jack,

Did you get my PM? Youre not going to need to send Heinz, although Im very thankful for the offer. Ill resend the PM.

Were you a cunning linguist?

 

[bovinehost]

I see it now, good sir, and shall comply. Heinz stands ready to serve, if called.

Larry - shut UP.

 

[TSanders]

Thanks Jack. And be nice to Larry. Even if he does share your wierd desire to play a neck on a stick.

 

[Psychicpet]

Were you a cunning linguist?

ya beat me to it Larry!

 

[Dargin]

Well Jack it looks like everyone got a shirt but me. I thought a linguist would know about the word "reciprocation". It looks like I'll just have to give the Martini Bongo to someone else.

I will be in DC from June 3rd to 7th judging Emergenza and hosting a Music Man day at Chuck Levins Washington Music Center.....

 

[TSanders]

Hey Scott. I agree. Not martini olive green Bongo for Jack.

Ill take it. PM me or e-mail me and Ill get you my shipping info

 

[bovinehost]

You're right - you've been kind of scarce lately and you know what they say, out of sight, out of mind....but a shirt ye shall have!

I will be in DC from June 3rd to 7th judging Emergenza and hosting a Music Man day at Chuck Levins Washington Music Center.....

What day are you going to be at Chuck Levin's?

(And by the way, I KNOW where that Bongo of yours is going - nowhere.)

 

[Big Poppa]

Darg
Maybe we should make Bovine a judge for emergenza....he can represent the senior set.

jack did you ever work in monterey at the linquist school?

 

[Dargin]

The Music Man day is 6-04-05. I'm an XL by the way.

 

[bovinehost]

June 4th, got it. I will try my best to escape my duties and annoy you.

Maybe we should make Bovine a judge for emergenza....he can represent the senior set.

Will anyone be performing Lawrence Welk-type music? That's all I really listen to anymore.

jack did you ever work in monterey at the linquist school?

Indeed I did, sir - taught there from 1992 through the end of 1995.

 

[SteveB]

I think I'll calm things down here by volunteering my services.

I'll find an accordian and some bubbles and attempt to placate the daring side of Jack's musical tastes.

I will hold Dargin's olive green Bongo as a disinterested 3rd party ("human escrow") until the DC trip is over.

And finally, I will get speculative and buy those olive futures that Big Poppa threw into a tailspin with his earlier post.

Sorry, Dargin, but I have no solution for your Cowpilot or Bongo shirt. Wait a sec..

Perhaps, once Big Poppa finds a suitably entertaining background scene and has his photo taken wearing his Bovine shirt, that image can be made into a life-size cut-out. We can carefully remove BP's face from the cut-out and you can stand behind it with your own face poking through. There!

Do we all agree?
