IT WASN'T A KNEE JERK REACTION, IT WAS JUST A JERK!
MONDAY! Oh yeah , we took the weekend off but it was with GOOD reason. Our son is visiting us here at the trailer park with his new wife (he's had 4 others already - they just weren't married to him!). It's been a real treat having him here drinking our beer, eating our Hamburger Helper and watching pay-per-view cartoon movies on cable. The bright side is that we don't pay for the cable because we just tap in at the box in back of the trailer.
Anyway, in the middle of all of this excitement (you're excited aren't you?) Stacy had to go get one of those fancy MRI CAT Scan X-Ray Sonagram picture things on her right knee. Both knees have always given her trouble because of the persistent rug burns on them, but the right one finally broke down, locked up and she was staggering around like she'd just downed a 12-pak. She actually had just downed a 12-pak but it was to help kill the pain and shouldn't have affected her walking.
So here's the deal. We went to the "Imaging Center" (doesn't that sound like fun?) and they gave her some pretty cool paper shorts to wear while they MRI'd (clever use of an acronym noun as a transitive verb, eh?) her. Oh it gets better - SHE GOT TO KEEP THE SHORTS! You may be skeptical, but there are big advantages to paper shorts. You don't have to wash them (because you can't), they're one size fits all (so they're comfortable) and because they're paper you can take notes on them - like people's phone numbers in bars! Now you know why we took the weekend off, but now it's Monday night and we're headed out to find some ice cold Budweiser (sponsor of Riding4Beer) and try out the shorts...
Jeannine was fine, but Matt didn't want to mess up his hair! Matt & Jeannine can't believe we get 5 County checks!
Kevin offered to X-Ray Stacy's knee for free! But Stacy wanted the stylish paper shorts!

Jeannine-RUN! (it can't be put any simpler than that). They probably have already added your name to the city, county ,state and federal welfare lists so they can benefit from you when you leave. Hide all your cash,credit cards and NASCAR plates. Remove all proof of your "visit" when you leave. Sterilize all you take with you and never mention the "silly bastards" again. Anyone running around like Mr. Bill wearing x-ray glasses and designer paper shorts should be avoided at all costs ( c'mon Kev-we know you stole a pair for yourself)! Keep smiling and have fun with two of the nicest but strangest people ever to be let loose.

Kevin & Stacy,
We love you guys and miss you! I'm glad to hear your children are spongers like you...fruit doesn't rot too far from the tree. When are you guys going to get some of those Amtrak section 8 vouchers and come and visit us in Sac Town?
Stay loose and easy,
Randall & Helen

It really is going to get exciting with Junior, a chip off the old block, around. He looks like Kevin, he is "mini-me." Does Jeannine know what she is getting herself into? If I was that poor little girl, I would run as fast as I could. But, we gotta put up with you crazies so remember this always, we cannot help but love you both.
guy and cary.
