This is a very nice Lady I had a chance to meet at Friend Feed. She was willing to grant me an Interview. I apologize to Laura for the delay in actually getting this Posted.

Laura Botts Interview -

Beamer: So Laura, You agreed to get interviewed by us cwazies. I can't thank you enough.

Laura: You’re welcome. I’m looking forward to our chat.

Beamer: I found you at a little social Place on the Interweb called Friend Feed. Have you been there Long?

Laura: I joined FriendFeed on July 1, 2008, after being on Twitter for several months. I prefer the conversations that happen on FriendFeed, personally.

Beamer: I agree.

Bobby: What's a friend feed?

Beamer: I'll tell you later. I love those shades you have on in your Profile Pic. Where did you get those bad boys at?

Laura: (Laughs.) I’m pretty sure they’re from Walmart. I’m thrifty like that. If I recall correctly, I bought them for a trip to New Orleans in 2005.

Beamer: I think I got mine at Walgreens.

Bobby: I wish I had some shades.

Beamer: Shhhh! Sorry about that, Larua. What Part of the Peach State you reside in?

Laura: In the middle, between Atlanta and Macon.

Beamer: So are you a big Fan of Bon Jovi? I think they do pretty darn good for themselves.

Laura: I like some of their things, mainly the big hits from the 1980s.

Beamer: I have never heard of Husker do before - are you a big fan of their Music?

Laura: I just started listening to them (and Sugar, both Bob Mould groups) last fall. A Twitter/FriendFeed friend turned me on to their music, and I really like it.

Beamer: I'll have to give them a listen. I also notice Andrew Lloyd Webber on your FM Mix. Your all over the place Musically aren't you?

Laura: Of course! I like all kinds of music. There’s a pretty random assortment in my life, but it’s heaviest on the Beatles. They’re my favorites by far.

Beamer: Have ever listened To Pandora?

Laura: A few times. I haven’t really gotten into it, though. I suppose I should give it another shot.

Beamer: Highly recommend Pandora for music, except it's just good in America. I noticed your a fan of Dr. Suess as well, eh?

Laura: Absolutely! I love those books. Such fun to hear and read, and the illustrations are great!

Beamer: What was your Major in College and which one did you go to?

Laura: I was a history major at Shorter College in Rome, Georgia.

Beamer:: I see you had Open Heart Surgery in 1995. Sounds like a scary time.

Laura: Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise to find out I needed it! But everything turned out fine.

Beamer: Glad to hear it. Is Frodo Your Dog? He's a beauty.

Laura: You might not say that if you saw him in person! He seems to be a lab/basset mix: lab head on a basset body. A friend of mine caught him in a humane trap in downtown Macon and named him “Frodo” because of his big Hobbit feet. Mr. B and I have three rescue dogs, Frodo, Tucker, and Bubba.

Beamer: Well, Thanks for the Interview. It was very Interesting.

I don't understand. David Letterman is giving away a colonoscopy. Great. I'm all for everyone getting one when needed. My old man died of Colon cancer, Sort of. Well it was one of four cancers he had when he died. But it tore him up something fierce.

Colon Cancer is not fun. Anything you can do to prevent it , again, I'm all for. But Flying to New York to get a colonoscopy Just seems very odd to me. Personally I wanted want it, even though I have never been to New York and would love to go there.

Its just that when I had My colonoscopy, I spent the day previous to the test drinking this lovely stuff that made me become very familiar with the Toilet, luckily sitting down, rather than facing it, puking. But still, its not like I would want to go around town sight seeing while getting prepared for a colonoscopy.

Then there was the day of, again, not a great day for sightseeing or anything else. It wasn't due to the pain or anything. More due to the knockout drugs they gave me. They worked wonders at knocking me out. Not conducive for visiting anything, other than the inside of my eyelids.

Now if I had a week added on before or after the test, then I'm all Game. Somehow I don't think so, though.

By the way, everything checked out fine, thanks for asking.

November 26th, 2008

Beamer ... For tomorrow.

Bobby: Why?

Beamer: It's Thanksgiving, that's why.

Bobby: And what makes that so special?

Beamer: Well, aren't we a sour puss.

Bobby: Look, we eat all kinds of food, get halfway comatose, and then halfway pass out in front of the TV.

Beamer: Isn't comatose and passed out about the same thing?

Bobby: But I don't get comatose in front of the TV.

November 1st, 2008

Bobby: You didn't go trick or treating last night?

Beamer: I couldn't find my teeth.

Bobby: You had those things for years. They were gross.

Beamer: They were my Lucky Candy Teeth. I had them since I was 12.

Bobby: I don't even want to think about all the germs there were on them.

Beamer: I had them for 18 years.

Bobby: What, your 20?

Beamer: In my world, yes.

Bobby: You can always buy new ones.

Beamer: I'm just not going trick or treating any more.

Bobby: Did it ever cross your mind your too old for that?

Beamer: What - are you to old to go to Disneyland? Are you too old to go to Seaworld?

Bobby: It's not the same.

Beamer: Are you too old to play Baseball?

Bobby: What is your problem?

Beamer: I didn't get my annual Candy Fix.

Bobby: Is that it? Is that your problem?

Bobby walks into the next room and brings back left over Halloween candy.

Bobby: Here - will that make you happy?

Beamer: It's a nice start.

Bobby: I know, it's not your 35 pound haul as usual.

Beamer: What 35 pounds? I had 52 pounds of candy last year. It took me 4 days to eat all that.

Bobby: I'm getting sick just thinking about it.

October 5th, 2008

Ok, I am having to switch gears here big time. Kathy wants to announce on her Blog when I am going to post the Interview that I presently have on the Blog. I wish I would have read her comment before I had posted this. So I am going to pull the Interview and repost it on Tuesday. So if your reading the Interview and It disappears, you'll now why.

If you haven't read the Interview yet, you want to come back On Tuesday. I have Kathy, of Junk Drawer Fame, answering My questions. Also the first part of this won't make a lot of sense, but when has this blog made a lot of sense. Ok, maybe the Last Interview I did with Amy, but other than that, not often.

So you have a good day and come back her Tuesday for sure. You can come back tomorrow if you want as well. I'll let you.

Beamer

The Interview that was here isn't right now and will be reposted on Tuesday. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Side note number 1.) Perhaps I need to find a little bustier Amy character.

Side note number 2.) Dave Beckwith has been in touch with me here the last few weeks. There seems to be some communication problems that we are working on to get him contributing here. At this point, I am still at a standstill in this regard, but will hopefully be fixed quite soon.

August 21st, 2008

Ok, I guess I owe it to you guys. I have kept you hanging probably way too long, But it hard to tell.

I didn't want to ruin the magic - Uhm, yeah right!

Ok, so I use to hang around a place on the Internet called the Yahoo message Boards. I spent way too much time there, but it was for a good reason at the time. Anyway, while I was there I ran into this guy Named Dave Beckwith, A seriously funny individual. While I was at the message boards, there was a topic opened up that was called the Humor Board, or something very original like that. This allowed for Dave to spawn Dave and Beck, some of the funniest stuff I had ever come across. It was all written by him, Dave Beckwith, But it was about these two brothers and the trouble they would get into. (Sound vaguely familiar.)

Now after a while, I tried my hand at writing and posting some stuff similar to that he was writing, only coming at it from my point of view. I put it out there and people thought it was funny, at least some of them did. So I kept at it. Now when it really got sweet, I thought, is when Dave and I joined forces and had four people, two sets of brothers, going at it.

This went on for actually a couple of years. The topics Dave would get into were really out there. He had a Bike that would travel in time, He was Mowing down Mailboxes for awhile, (You had to be there), there was a traveling circus show, and this stuff just went on and on and would get so crazy, and there I was damn near peeing my pants over this stuff. He was sooo funny. And I was so grateful for every nuance he posted.

But as Time does, it moves on, and we kind of went our separate ways, then Yahoo, really screwed things up, and we parted ways. I miss Dave something terrible and hope some day to get back in touch with him. But all this was mainly for 3 people. Me, Dave and this lovely Lady Named Windsong. But I am so thankful for you guys as well.

I know your out there, I can hear you breathing. That and Google kind spies on ya.

So there ya have it. The sorted truth of why these two brothers do what they do (Well, not really. Hell, I don't even know why they do what they do.) and now the cast of characters has kind of grown with the comic strip.

And yes, I do actually have a Brother. He is four years younger than me, and we don't speak. Which is his choosing. I guess he likes living this way.
