VIET NAM ZIPPOS



My Brother-in-law moved to Vietnam a few years back and on a trip home, brought me this lighter he found in a shop in Hanoi. Today I came across this website, so I took a photo of the front and back of my Zippo and sent them off to put in his gallery. It would be cool to find the original owner.

Funny For a Week.

I spent $7.00 Monday before last and it has kept me laughing ever since. Best 7 bucks I have spent in a while.

A little bird called me and told me that Randy Dinwiddie (whom most of you know worships the ground I walk on) was launching a new website. I kept watching it being built and he finally got it online on Monday, the 26th of February. I went to take a look at it in the morning it came out and noticed that he mentioned that everyone should be on the lookout for his other new site www.theuara.com. I guessed that it was to promote his association, the UARA. I don't know why, but I looked up theuara.com on whois.net.

I discovered that the url was unregistered and wasted no time going to GoDaddy and buying the domain. Once I had the domain registered, I went and put in some redirect code so that when you clicked the link on Randy's site, it took you right to The American Repossessor magazine.

I told several people about it and it was good for some laughs to have Randy's site linking to my mag. He figured it out, or someone told him and the link disappeared sometime last Saturday.

No, I am not going to promote his new site by posting the name or link to it.

And Randy, I'll give you that domain for free if you just pay me the $200.00 you have owed me for a year on that Chevy Caprice locate. Be a man and pay your bills. Fucking dead beat.

I find that The American Repossessor is taking up so much of my time on the computer that I am not making the effort to post here very often. I read one of JD 's posts that said I just don't write enough. I got the new issue published yesterday on schedule, pushed myself away from my desk and slept for 5 hours. I'm writing JD, just not here.
