I'LL DO MY DUTY, I'LL DO MY BEST

Oh the cruelty bestowed upon me! It's like a self-inflicted punch to the kidney. And I was so sure of myself that I gave my wife permission to make banana bread. But before I wallow in self-pity, let's get the first order of business taken care of pronto. Dr. Anonymous was absolutely correct in picking me out of Sherriff Lester Almstadt's line-up. In case you didn't read the previous blog post (why bother?), it was me, I did it, I ran the guy over with my car because he made me mad, very, very mad. I blame the whole incident on quitting the Boy Scouts of America organization. I went into a downward spiral from there and ended up in prison. Please forgive me. I'll do my duty, I'll do my best ... (I can only remember the part about the girl scouts and I'm quite sure it's not part of the oath).

Anyway, I did not win the "So You Think You Can Blog?" contest. What was The Thinker thinking? What theory of thought did she use? Does she not live her life in fear? I will get out one day! Her link is to the right. I suggest you investigate what I'm talking about. She didn't even send me an award, so I had to make my own. Here it is:



I'm sure you know what this means. Yep, second place. Still, I'm proud of my achievement and will undoubtedly check out my competitors. Please feel free to comment, especially Veggie Dawn--I miss your inspiring words.

Jim, Cute picture. Yes, we had to wear our Scout uniforms to school for our school pictures. :( May the platanos be with your!

Oh Jim, I "think" your blog is great and your deserve the real hot potatoe! --Bro, Ron
p.s. A least your scout pants didn't have a big ole patch on the knee! I'm off to the store to get my daughter's "Juniors" vest and troop #. Nice to collect all those badges and iron/sew them on! Keeps the kids busy along with the other hundred things going on.

JR, maybe I wasn't thinking at all when I picked the winners out this morning. Now I'm scared to death.

Was it a life sentence, by any chance?

There now, I'm glad I got that out of my system. (Not the kidney stone silly).

Hey Thinker,
You made the right choice for first place. You know I've got to have my fun. As you probably already know, I created this post early. Yeah, I lied, whattayagonnadoaboudit? At press time I didn't receive the "So You Think You Can Blog?" award. I plan on displaying it somewhere on my blog; these awards mean more to me than the Boy Scout iron-on-badges I earned.

P.S. A life sentence does not mean life. How ironic is that?

Love this post, especialy how you added the 'confession' bit, as if you can't hide the guilt anymore. Too funny!

I was a Brownie, my mom, the troop leader. I found out years later that she did it because I was so tiny and she didn't want the other kids to pick on me. Guess I faked her out, just like my mother-in-law tries to do with me. Takes one to know one...Ouch! lol

Cute photo! You DO look like Dennis the Menace. I think that should be your new nickname...Tom, Jim, DTM! lol

Did your mom put highlights in your hair? Just thought I'd ask.

JR, I love that haircut. I think I read previously that your Mom gixed up your do0. Yeh!

Hey Jim and everybody,

Too funny. Are you taking hallucinogenic painkillers by any chance? Wicked!

The Cedar Chest said...

Hey Thumbprints,

Love your blog...Would you like to exchange links?

I was going to ask if you were still on meds from your kidney stone op, but ...
hope it went well for you.

JR's Thumbprints said...

Am I still taking Darvocet? Funny you should ask--I counted 30 pills left. Guess you could say I'm afraid of running out. As for the surgery--one kidney at a time starting on Wednesday.

Thanks everyone for your comments and concerns. Lastly, keep an eye out for the Thinker's next blog competition @ Theory of Thought. Everyone should enter something.
