Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: ranger1 Date: 29 Jan 12 - 07:32 PM I think you ought to plant morning glories round it. Either that or use it for pole beans. |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 29 Jan 12 - 08:29 PM Morning glories are nice, too... Gotta find that picture... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Crowhugger Date: 29 Jan 12 - 08:37 PM Oh do find the picture, Bobert. Or take a new one before she turns a blow torch on the piece. ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 29 Jan 12 - 08:58 PM It will be cut down before I see it again... A couple of my ol hillbilly buddies are taking care of that... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 29 Jan 12 - 09:30 PM Well, I donno??? I think so... They is hillbillies, after all... Nah, after thinking about it I doubt it... I can find the pic and have d-i-l scan it and send it to you, if you like... PM me yer email addie... It may take a couple days... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 09:14 AM I found one pic last night that has it in it but it's not really a pic of the sculpture.... Just a snow pic of the farms and the sculpture a smallish part of the pic... If anyone wants to take a crack at scabbing it and posting it, PM me and I'll snail mail the pic to you... Maybe I'll get a pic of it before it gets torched out of the earth, I donno... One hillbilly buddy of mine has a digital camera and he might take one... The other two ain't all that technically advanced... But, hey, they know how to make moonshine and slaughter and butcher a hog... lol... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jan 12 - 10:42 AM Bobert, I understand that P-Vine has a surprise for you if you bring it home. Oh, yeah, she said to pick up some 30=30 ammo. |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 11:31 AM Hahaha, Rap... The girl won't even even shoot a bb gun... BTW, just spent a couple hours building a saddle contraption that lays over the sides of the pickup bed which will hold said sculpture... I'm always building something so the P-Vine is clueless as to what this thing is going to do... I'm loving this entire episode of the "Bobert 'n The P-Vine Show"... It's going to be a real hoot when I pull in the drive way with the sculpture strapped down over the bed... I can't to see the look on her face and... ...the following butt whup she's gonna put on me... Life is good!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Jan 12 - 11:49 AM Perhaps Bobert does not realize that a standing order for TNT can be promptly fulfilled by any of P-Vine's friends at the slightest suggestion of an activation gesture on her part.... :~) ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 01:03 PM I love fireworks... B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: John MacKenzie Date: 30 Jan 12 - 01:19 PM I seem to remember your saying that you have little or no butt to whup. That's not fair on the lovely P-Vine. |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 01:29 PM Hey, I'm gonna have to plant 'um anyway, so might as well have some fun on the side... As for the butt whup... Yeah, you don't need too much of a whup to pull it off... B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: John MacKenzie Date: 30 Jan 12 - 01:44 PM Do you have plenty of ericaceous compost |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Jan 12 - 03:04 PM A sprinkle of a certain powder in his food, the body weighed down with the sculpture and thrown in the pond.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 05:20 PM Who's gonna throw the sculpture... I'll pay to watch that even if I'm tied to it... B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: frogprince Date: 30 Jan 12 - 06:29 PM "Do you have plenty of ericaceous compost" John, haven't them critters been extinct for millions of years? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 06:40 PM I didn't understand that post... What is "ericaceous compost"??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: maeve Date: 30 Jan 12 - 07:50 PM John means compost suitable for plants in the Ericaceae family, such as heather, rhododendrons/azaleas, etc. |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 08:12 PM Guess I wasn't in school that day??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: maeve Date: 30 Jan 12 - 08:47 PM You seem to manage fine without such a weighty word hanging from your tongue. The azaleas haven't complained! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 30 Jan 12 - 10:23 PM Got over 400 azalea hybrids not available to anyone but hydridizers... Oh, my aching back... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: gnu Date: 31 Jan 12 - 02:27 PM WOW! Must be absolutely beautiful at your place, Bobert. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Rapparee Date: 31 Jan 12 - 02:51 PM P-Vine's got a surprise fer you, too -- she's pregnant. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 31 Jan 12 - 05:12 PM Well, it's about time, Rap... I mean, we been together for 14 years so I figured it would happen when the starts aligned... Happy days... This is going to make bringing home the sculpture just that more fun... I know, pulling up in the driveway with it and little preggie wife so glowing that she won't even notice the sculpture thru the glow... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: JohnInKansas Date: 01 Feb 12 - 05:24 AM Ya could'a made somethin' practical, like THIS. I don't recall whether it's quoted as bein' 60 or 90 feet tall. Your description of yours sounds a bit like one made out of two sections of round tin silos, about 12 ft in diameter, each section about 20 ft long, that sits 'long side the old 81 highway down south of here about 30 miles. We've also got at least two "dinosaur museums" in the region, with a variety of prehistoric lookin' things made out of old farm implements. One is a little east of town, and a smaller one is in a tiny town down in the Okla Panhandle, not too far from the windmill museum (where the windmills are real ones). John |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 01 Feb 12 - 08:53 AM I've seen the exact same "clothes pin" sculpture in Richmond, Va., John... It used to sit in front of one of Richmond's waelthier families that supported the arts... I'd love to see the silo piece... Sound like whoever did it and I would have a few things to talk about... The sculptor, Joe Seipel, who I was friends with at VCU art school (where I got my 2nd degree from in fine art) was into metal sculpture and the bigger and heavier the better... He had one that he did as a joke... It was called the "Enviro-Plug" and it was just this industrial looking thing that if you can imagine a creek bed could be lowered in to make an immediate dam... As part of the piece he entered it in an industrial trade show, accompanied by fake sales people and a glossy brochure... To spice it up he had several of his friends outside the trade show picketing the "Enviro-Plug"... He gives a one hour slide presentation of the entire piece and subsequent experience at the trade show... Well worth the price of admission... lol... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine... From: Bobert Date: 05 Feb 12 - 05:03 PM Well, I could have called this but was hopin' that it wouldn't turn out like this but I think I said that one of the two hillbillies who were going to use a cutting torch to cut it out was/is a screw up... Well, he hasn't changed... Just got a call from him and the torch he has ain't up to the task and it's now too late (at least for the planned trip next weekend) to get it so I'll just get the rest of the stuff I have stored up there and so... ...no big surprise for now... I will get it sometime but not this time... Rats!!! B:~( |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Ebbie Date: 05 Feb 12 - 07:35 PM Patience is a virtue, they say- and sometimes it could save your life. Just kiddin'- I too look forward to your describing the look on the P-Vine's face. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Bobert Date: 05 Feb 12 - 08:13 PM I will get if for no other reason what Ebbie just said... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Rapparee Date: 05 Feb 12 - 09:23 PM Just go down to the local junkyard. She'll be just as happy and surprised with a partially buried car. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Bobert Date: 05 Feb 12 - 10:00 PM I've already done the partially buried car routine, Rap... She wasn't impressed... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Crowhugger Date: 05 Feb 12 - 11:44 PM I can hardly STAND the suspense! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Melissa Date: 06 Feb 12 - 12:02 AM If you plant it with something climby that needs harvested, you can keep an ongoing thread to keep us all updated on your toils and strains, Bobert! I'm all for that! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Bobert Date: 06 Feb 12 - 07:59 AM It ain't about planting stuff on it... At this point it's a matter of finding someone with some decent torches to extricate it and then transporting it 400 miles, welding on new legs and setting it... But I am purdy determined and I'll get it figured out... Just not this trip... Plus, I already have at least 1000 pounds of stuff coming back in my Toyota truck and my homemade closed trailer... BTW, I have two fairly nice antique sofas that just need to be recovered for free if anyone wants 'um 5that are still in Virginia that are staying there until someone steps up to take 'um... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Bobert Date: 06 Feb 12 - 08:58 AM Well, Sins... As I have just reported a glitch has arisen... One of my hillbilly buddies, who BTW has a Masters Degree from Hillbilly U in "Screw ups" did it again... Showed up with kid's torch for a man torch job... That means that it's gonna take some serious replaning on my part... However, if anyone has the capabilities I can have my step son email a "decent" picture of it to ya and maybe someone can blue clicky it??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: SINSULL Date: 06 Feb 12 - 07:18 PM Re-planing or Replanning? THere is a huge difference. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Gotta a Big Surprise for the P-Vine...NOT! From: Bobert Date: 06 Feb 12 - 07:36 PM Makin' a new plan, Sins... Which one is that??? B~ |
