JOYCE ELIASON AKA LITTLE LOIS WINS AGAINJoyce Eliason, prominent blog sponsor and quiz judge, won last week's "Donna Quiz."
There was only one other entry which explains the complexity of the quiz, or else the total lack of interest in the quiz. Which ever, Joyce came out the winner. She will receive a small smoked ham of my choice. Thank you, Joyce, for taking the time to enter the quiz and exhibiting your highly ethical, unbiased, impartial, and intelligent expertise in choosing the rightful winner.
CONGRATULATIONS TO JOYCE
My phone range at 1:37 AM last night and it was my good friend Kramer from Vermont. He said he couldn't sleep and asked me if anything new was going on in Manti. I said, "You bet, there are several new and exciting things taking place right now in our fair city." I included some of the most exciting in a picture feature below:
New paint on church tower....
The Center Ward church building is currently getting a new coat of paint on it's steeple. This steeple is actually higher than The Old North Church in Boston.
The steeple is so tall that you actually need binoculars to see the very top.....
New building for class rooms under construction at Manti Elementary School.....
Manti's Main Street was recently re-surfaced and painted with new lines.
New army truck for the Manti National Guard........................
There is a new fan light in my office.
There is a new Red Sox poster on my office door.
There are new flowers on the steps of the County Courthouse.
There is new sand at the Manti City Park vollyball courts.
Fritze has a new shirt.As you all can plainly see, there are plenty of new things going on in Manti. If you want to live life in the fast lane, move to Manti.
TULIP TIME IN TREE TOWN
My granddaughter, Tulip, lives in Vermont and recently started her first year of school as a student in Kindergarten.
Getting ready for school.......
Making new friends. .....
Why isn't she wearing her Red Sox back pack?
Play time....
The bell rings.......
Walking home from school....All of Tulip's family and friends in Utah really miss her and wish her the best in the new school year. She will be in Utah at
Christmas time and we all look forward to that.
Rock on Tulip......

SHARK TOOTH SKULL OF THE WEEK
(see below)
I couldn't sleep the other night so I got up looking for something to do. I stumbled upon a box of balloons that were left over from the water fight on the 4th of July. I started blowing some of them up and before long I had created the object as pictured below.
I thought it looked quite formitable, but within 10 minutes Tiny Terrors, Maddie and Alex and their BB guns, had completely destroyed it.....

Looks like Superman is pissed off at General Motors.......

OUTDOORS WITH RANGER BOB
HOW TO MEASURE THE HEIGHT OF A TREE
While standing under the tree hold a stick 3 or 4 feet in length in a vertical manner at arm's length. Grasp the stick so that the length of the stick above your hand equals the distance from your hand to your eye (your hand should be at eye level). Next, slowly walk backwards from the tree, staying level with the tree's base. When the height of the tree appears to be the same as the length of the stick above your hand, stop. You should now be sighting over your hand to the base of the tree and, without moving anything but your eye, sighting over the top of the stick to the top of the tree where you have stopped. Measure the distance from that spot to the tree and you have determined its height.

Mighty fine Blog Post Mr. Voo.. I could not find anything irritating or obnoxious.. what has happened to the theme here? You were aghast when you heard the Wolf is now shaving his legs twice a day. You said nothing about Buzz (AKA Divot) making history by winning his dog trial at the same time as posting a 39 on a Colorado Golf course. And nothing about Constanzas pierced ear, not to mention Newbys red ribbon he won at the Sanpete county fair for his paper on Global warming.. the list is endless.. I for one.. would like to see more banter on your part.
Remotely yours...
Little Tulip enjoyed being featured on your blog. Maybe she can show it to her new friends at school. Wouldn't that be cool if her kindergarten class followed the "Weird Wide World of Voo." They wouldn't even need a science curriculum. They could learn all they needed to from Ranger Bob's tips of the week.
Keep up the good posts Voo!
My ad on this blog is a big waste of my money! Nobody is buying Lumpy Dick ($10 a pint) and I made up some big batches. Nobody is asking for poetry ($10 a line) and I have given up my bra line for women over 75 (suspension problems).
Are these beautiful little children and this brave black dog-- really happy or have they been programmed by the Voo? Just asking.
A very unhappy Lil Lo. (However I do like my photo!!!!)
Lil Lo..
Your pictures get hotter on every blog... and we all know you love that brave black dog... but your obsession with selling lumpy dick... is beginning to make me and everyone sick...
This message brought to you from Voo...
Lil Lo,
That last message and poem did not come from me. As you can tell, it came from Oil Can. It does ring ture to some extent, however. Please don't get discouraged with the dismal sales results produced by your on-line business. Remember, 90% of all new business fail. We are not going to let this one fail though. I have some new ideas that I got from Don Draper and they will be incorporated into the next posting. I need the advertising money and you need the advetising. Don't panic. Success is just around the corner.
Bubba and Margo,
Glad that Tulip liked her pictures. I have recieved lots of compliments on them. I have a special Halloween treat headed her way.
It is clear Oil Can that you have no clue
What Lumpy Dick can really do.
When the pioneers were out of cash
Fried flour and water were served as hash.
In our present climate we must make do
A little Lumpy Dick can see us through.
Free shipping and only ten dollars a pint
And made with love by Little Lois.
----
Oil Can-- please note. Because the last line does not rhyme I am giving you $5 off of the regular price. A real deal. You only owe me $25 for the poem. You have my blessings! Please make the payment to Voo who is my business manager.
Lil Low
Voo Said...
Little..L
Your payment check is in the mail... along with wishes "you go to hell"... lumpy dick worked when times got tough... so my advice to you is "Make Enough"
Vooo-- We're going places! Oil Can bought the poem and the check is in the mail. My first sale! So excited. I believe in you, Voo-- and Don Draper.
Love, Lil big-hearted Lois
p.s. Let me know when you get the check! You get ten percent! We're in business!
p.s.s. Why is Oil Can so hostile?
Dear Lil Lo,
I am thrilled that you made your first sale. You do not owe me 10%. The fee you pay to advertise is payment enough.
Oil Can has been hostile most of his life. When he was a young man, growing up in the town of Circleville, and went to gym class for the first time, something horrific happened. While showering with the other boys he discovered that he was not as fully developed in certain places as his buddies. He has been hostile ever since. He takes out is frustrations of inadequacy out on those who try to befriend him. I have learned to live with his envy and immature behavior. It is obvious that he is not going away so I encourage others to try and do the same.
Dear Voo-- As you know I have received my second order! This time for a pint of Lumpy Dick. Just want to let all my fans know that I will be busy all weekend mixing and frying and bottling and might not be available for patio furniture placement consultation until Monday.
Thank you-- Voo-- for believing in me and my skills. It meant so much when you ordered the pint. Just want to remind you--
Lumpy Dick - $10 a pint
Delivery cost - $40
_________________________
Which means you owe me $50 on receipt of the foodstuff. However please take 10% off as my all around manager. Total owing: $45.
p.s. Have you received check from Oil Can yet? We might have a lawsuit on our hands! So sad about his inadequacy. I had no idea. You might remind him that size doesn't count.
Dearest Oilcan-- I have worked out the arrangement for your patio furniture: Two chairs facing east for the sunrise (you can take your coffee out there alone or with a companion) and two chairs facing west for the sunset (you can take your martini out there and enjoy alone or with companion). A table in the center is convenient to place your whatever.
Consultation: $50
Please remit pronto! I really need the bread. My car broke down and my collection agent has gone fishing. Plus my daughter is pregnant and her husband just got picked up on a DUI. Plus I got in a fight and broke my front tooth!!!!
Thanks for you business - Lil Lo
Geoyce,
I tried to comment on Voos blog about your patio furniture design and billing of $50.. but I have been blocked by our server... so let me just expand from this e-mail format..
Your design is suspect at best...
I saw this same design and format in a recent Cialis Commercial... you with all of your literary knowledge must know that you cannot copy something that has already been tried and tested.. maybe you should go back and enroll in a series of ethic classes... and while you are at it.. you might want to take a cooking class or two.. lumpy dick is old hat... there are a lot of other substitutes for lumpy dick out there...
When you come up with your own design and your own recipe let me know.. then the check will be in the mail..
oc
This hurts. I have tried hard to satisfy my customers. MacVoo was happy with his lumpy dick and other clients have been jubilant with my products. The checks have been rolling in! My ethics have never ever ever been questioned before. I deliver!
So-- Oil Can. Since I can't make you happy-- I release you from all financial obligations indigenous with my company. This is really too bad because I had a new program already devised which would clean all your windows. Oh well.
What the hell. lil lost
P.S. Please do not place your patio furniture according to my instructions-- since you did not pay for the design.
