True Confession...Robin Likes to Hump His Guitar Amplifier for Feedback!

Happy Friday everyone!  Gorgeous day taking shape here at the compound.  Weekend weather with the exception of Saturday (scattered thunder-boomers in the forecast) looks great as well. 

Interestingly, it’s a quiet weekend here. 

Those of us who are zombie-like devotees of the cult that is Oklahoma Football get a bye this week.  Hopefully, the Stoops brothers will have a BBQ or something and make nice.  I’m kind of glad to see Mike up in the booth now rather than down on the field.  It was just troubling when a camera would turn toward the sideline when the game wasn’t going well and there were the Stoops brothers arguing with one another.  Somehow I don’t think that being up in the booth is doing anything to keep Mike calmer, but at least Brother Bob can remove his headset if he wants and not listen to Brother Mike’s rants. 

Here’s an actual conversation caught on tape during the Tulsa game between the Stoops in the booth and an actual coaching assistant on the field:

Actual Coaching Assistant:  “Coach Stoops!  Your brother wants to talk to you!”

Big Game Bob:  “I’m busy!  What’s he want?”

Actual Coaching Assistant:  “He says he has an important message for you!”

Big Game Bob:  “Tell him to leave a message!”

Actual Coaching Assistant:  “He says he has to tell you in person!”

<Taking the headset from the Actual Coaching Assistant, Big Game Bob puts it on>

Big Game Bob:  “WHAT?”

Stoops in the Booth:  “#@$% you, you *&#$ing #@$&!  Thhhhppppphhhhhttttt!”

Remember kids, you heard it here first.

I had it in my head that there was a fall home show this weekend in Cosmic City, but a check of the paper this morning says nothing of the sort.  So I guess I’m left to my own devices…seldom a good plan.

Believe there’s a gun show at the conference center next weekend, which of course is the start of OU’s Big XII conference play against West Virginia (whose state motto translated from the Latin is, “Tell me again why we’re in the Big XII?”).  No doubt it will be another 11AM game so I’ll have to run through the gun show and then back home for the game.  Sometimes it’s hard work being a zombie-like cult devotee!

Will probably head out on the bike Sunday since it appears to be less chance of rainy weather.  Call me a fair weather biker if you will, but there is NOTHING in the world worse than being on a motorcycle in a pouring rain.  Especially when the water begins to accumulate inside your boots and your feet turn to ice. 

So it is, I guess that Robin Hohweiler, former Blue Angel will become Robin Hohweiler, wannabe Hell’s Angel.  Hahaha, just kidding…they wouldn’t have me.  I ride a metric…oh, and faint at the sight of a tattoo gun. 

I considered driving down to Oklahoma City today for the Oklahoma State Fair since the Trump will be making his Oklahoma “debut” this afternoon.  As all of you dedicated readers of this blog (all ten of you…our stock is rising) well know, the Trump made his first appearance in Oklahoma in late August with the Apocalypse Now flying circus stunt down Main Street in Shattuck. 

I tried to contact Kevin Ogle late yesterday to point out that he was incorrectly informing the public about this being Trump’s first visit to the Sooner State.  Oddly, he won’t return my calls. 

I attempted to contact Hector, the Trump’s able campaign assistant to see if he could get me up on stage for the appearance, but even he won’t return my calls. 

Eh well, no Oklahoma City for me today.  Guess we’ll prepare for open mic night here at the compound this evening.  Bring refreshments…plenty of guitars, basses, amplifiers, sound system, and ukes already here.  Oh, but no bagpipes, you’ll have to bring your own. 

I’ll do my best to channel my inner-Hendrix by playing the Strat left-handed (and upside down) while simultaneously humping the amplifier for feedback…it’ll be great!
