It was all about you guys, I was downtown and I was walking along, and I saw all of you on a city bus, I ran towards the bus yelling at you, you all turned and started waving and Laughing, and you went on you're way, I never got to meet any of you... Is this a Premonition?

Neil, we decided that since you live in Paradise you should stay there. In other words we're jealous!
Seriously, you have been reading all the posts about meets. You want to go but can't. It is your heart of hearts at work in your sleep.

You been Smoking DULTS (Seaweed) again! I told you this saltwater herb was bad for you....
Man! I hate when this happens to me!
Posted by AdrienneMorgan (Member # 1046) on :
Neil...I'm waiting for you to host a 'Noofy' meet!!!!
A Posted by Neil D. Butler (Member # 661) on :
Yes, I guess that's what it meant, It's time for me to hold a meet, that way all you guys would experience a culture that's truely Unique. Maybe next year, would anyone besides Addriene, Cause she would here, be interested in a Newfie Meet?
Posted by Doug Allan (Member # 2247) on :
Yes, I think it's a premonition, but you only saw the rest of us because you were driving the bus! "Neil at the wheel" a modern day prankster who's destiny is to parade through the continent like the pied piper with a following of letterheads smiling & waving as you paint the towns, one after the other from sea to shining sea.
Got any more of that Dulce?
Posted by Neil D. Butler (Member # 661) on :
"Neil at the Wheel" I like that, and yes, I have to get some more of that stuff I was smoking, and it ain't seaweed..lol jus Kidd'n.
Would'nt that be cool, all of us on a Bus, Painted with some wild 60's paint scheme, like the Partrige Family, listening to Magic Bus, and all kinds of smoke bellowing out the windows...

Hey Neil, I'd be up for a Newfie meet!
I was just reading an article about a driving trip around Newfoundland yesterday and said to my wife that we should make that our next trip. The writer was mentioning seeing all the iceburgs. It sounded awesome!
Maybe do it in an off-season to keep our expenses down. Next Spring?
Posted by Chris Elliott (Member # 1262) on :
Count me in too!!! I'm not even sure how to get the but I'd love to attend a meet at your place, Neil!! Your posts usually bring a smile to my face and I think Kathy & Doug have got the correct meaning of your dream!! Now that I think about it, I really like the sound of "Neil at the wheel" & I can almost see the magic bus!! Posted by Doug Allan (Member # 2247) on :
Partridge Family Neil, I 've got a few book referrals for you. Start with Tom Wolfe's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" Then Jack Kerouac's "On the Road"
Maybe you've read them, but judging from the bus you mentioned I thought you may not have.

How do you Dare Ask! This East-Coaster will attend, "But the Rum" may slow me down.
Posted by Chris Elliott (Member # 1262) on :
Hey Doug...now THAT'S the bus I was talkin' about!! Get us set of wheels like that & we'll really be "Truckin'"!! Posted by Mark Fair Signs (Member # 289) on :

That's too Funny Doug, Yes Terry in the off season would be good, but to see the IceBergs and whales June is best or early July. Mark that's not funny..lol. Chris we'd love to have a real "Cowboy" here, we could feed you some of our famous Saltwater Rabbits. And Adrienne could paint the side of the Bus... hmmmmmmm

Doug, How late is it there? it's almost 9:00 am here.
Posted by Doug Allan (Member # 2247) on :
1:30 AM thats right I think I remember now, you guys are not only ahead of east coast US time, but are you really 1/2 hour off the top of the hour everywhere else?
Posted by Neil D. Butler (Member # 661) on :
That's right, we are a half hour ahead of the rest of you guys.
Posted by Chris Elliott (Member # 1262) on :
"2 COOL 4 WORDS" is right, Neil!!
I started chuckling about A's pic when she posted it last nite (nice work A, but just a tad too many chickens fer my taste...hehehe)!! Before I had a chance to reply, Doug posted his version and I jumped plumb outa my chair with my Bic held high & launched into my best version of Country Joe doin' the 'ol Fish Cheer shoutin' "Gimme a F.. Gimme a U.."(one of the advantages of living in my shop is ya can do stuff like that when the mood strikes a fella)!!
Nice work, Doug, I noticed you even included the Letterville flag flying proudly off the back porch and I'd swear that's Alton Gillespie standin' up on the top deck with his knees in tha breeze!! (it's a good thing I'm sittin' next to A, cuz I've got some explainin' to do about that chicken remark, hehehe)
I'm already checking on an old bus I remember runnin' across but meanwhile, to give you a peek at what I'm talking about here's a pic of the Jack Ass Acres shop truck which is an authentic Diamond Reo Speedwagon owned by a friend of mine (No, it's not for sale)!! Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
I have dreams like that too Neil. The only difference is that I am always naked! No wonder the bus is trying to get away.
Posted by Shirley Carron (Member # 2446) on :
Yeah Steve those 'naked' dreams are pretty scary,but I actually did see someone walk by the store in their nightgown and slippers!! Their eyes were open... coulda been sleepwalking, I guess. FUNNNNYYYYY post btw
Posted by Terry Whynott (Member # 1622) on :
Oh man, those busses are funny! lol
Thanks for the laugh.
PS- Glad to see you got let on Neil. We wouldn't leave you behind on purpose.
