QUIZ FOR DUMMIES--BOOK CLUB--VOO'S NEW HOBBY

RED SOX FAN OF THE WEEK
Shellie Tucker AKA Mrs. Bomb AKA Mrs. F. Bomb

Shellie and Spike at the Manti Cemetery

Shellie lives in Seattle with her husband, F. Bomb, and works in the computer industry. She really is not much of a Red Sox fan or even a baseball fan, but she is an adorable, intelligent, and fun-loving niece. She is a frequent visitor to Utah. She makes extra income by gathering up stray cats and selling them the the Russian Mafia.


BELOW IS THE
"THE DUMMIES' QUIZ"
This feature is for you blog readers who have been overwhelmed by the level of difficulty presented in the previous quizzes. Sad to say, many of the blog readers are members of my family and are somewhat intelligence impaired. In other words, they are mentally challenged. To be blunt, they are card carrying members of the Dim Society. I don't need to mention names, they know who they are. Isn't that right, Marconi? What about it, F. Bomb, Joe the Plumber, Wank, and The Wolf? Costanza is a member of this group along with The Brain Dead Iranian and Mr. Foreman.

DOES THIS EVER HAPPEN TO YOU?

You can't sleep. You are worried about the economy, the war, or having another bad hair day. You finally get up at 1:13 A.M. You watch TV, you read, you vacuum the living room (or not), you sharpen all the cooking knives, you bake Jack Daniels cookies---- nothing works. You still can't sleep. I have discovered a new hobby that is sweeping Sanpete County and will help to eat away those wee small hours of the morning and at the same time create something of value.
It is called:
CARDBOARD CONSTRUCTION
Below are some of the objects I have completed.

TV Chair with clean lines

Lounge chair --- Early Sanpete American

Ultra Modern Chair

PATIO CHAIR

I completed all of these chairs last night.

I made this rocket ship for the grandkids.

I made this cradle for Haley and Grant's new baby. Sadly Haley won't be going to Durango this year because she is over the weight limit to cross state lines. I am in the process of building a cardboard bathtub for Sarah and Brett's baby.

Cardboard Table

This bridge took me a whole week, but has already attracted foreign tourists to my backyard.

This cardboard motorcycle is my ultimate achievement in CARDBOARDING.
