Enrique and "The Butter"

What is Mr.Winkle??
Words cannot describe who is is, or what he is. Is he alive? Is he dead and has just been stuffed? Why does his tongue never move position? Does he ride on the SS Winkle a lot and yell "toot, toot" to people who pass by?
The story of Mr. Winkle and I came together is a simple, yet surprisingly funny tale. It was the best of times, the worst of times...I was in a dollar store, checking out when I spotted him. He was on the cover of a calander. My interest peaked. I picked it up and began paging through it...that is when I realzed this was the most insane thing I had ever seen, yet I oddly enjoyed him in his various poses. The cost of this delicious calander?? A mere 50 cent. I could hardly pass up such an opproutunity to be part of Mr. Winkle. Our personalities just clicked, Jean and I brought him home, and poured over his calander, picking our favorite pictures and vowing right then and there we would someday meet him in person.
I encourage you to visit this website to discover him. You will not be disappointed. My personal favorite is the 2001 Calendar cover. I enjoy pulling up that website at work and staring at him, looking deep into his demented eyes. I laugh hysterically at work, my co-workers staring at me with a wild envy out of the corner of thier eye, wishing they could be a part of Mr. Winkle's world. He does not let everyone into his world. I would love for him to be my pet, I would crotchet special outfits just for him.
Sorry, please cut and paste....

This is extremely exciting!!
If you see below, I have now added a place where you can add your comments to the lovely blobby. If you click on "Yo, talk to me", you can leave me comments, suggestions, love letters, etc...
Don't be surprised if there aren't many comments. I don't think too many people actually read this. But I welcome strangers to my world.
Thanks to Clare for getting it all up on my page....now, blob away!!!

Where have all of the KFC’s gone?
Reading Clare’s blobby made me think of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. I wondered why you don’t see too much of them around anymore? I would think they would be highly prevelant in Kentucky, like one on every corner. I highly doubt The Kernal would disappoint me if I visited Kentucky in search for them. There used to be one in my hometown, but it went away years ago. Now, to get to one, I have to drive at least 10 minutes. Honestly, though,the biscuits are just divine. I mean, where can you get such a decent, pre-made biscuit with yummy fried chicken?
The update on the boy I met is this-yes, he did look like Val Kilmer( I told him that, and he had said he had heard that before, so you know I am not exaggerating about that). And for anyone who has known me the last 10 years knows that I had a slight obsession with him (I say “slight” because my love for him as slowly been moved over for the likes of Enrique and Luke Wilson). He was shorter than me. He kept trying to put his arm around me, even when I was giving clear body language signals that I was not interested. He then proceeded to call me twice in one week after we met for the second time. Needless to say, haven’ called him back. Okay, so yes, I do feel bad about it, I mean, I wouldn’t want that to happen to me, but seriously, we have all been there, and he was just to weird for me, and I was afraid that if I spoke to him again, that I would be nice and say yes to going on another date. But not like you could really classify our meeting in Madison as a date, but yeah, you know.
I also seem to attract men who look like famous actors. I was invovled with one feller who looked like Keanu Reeves. This guy, Matt, looks like Val Kilmer. These odd incidents have caused me to realize that I will no longer show an interest in men who look like celebrities.
Also, I have written a letter to Tostitios and thought that it was rather good and decided to post it on my blobby—see below some excerpts from(maybe I should send into “Letters from a Nut?”)
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express my love for the Frito-Lay “Hint of Lime” Tostitos chips. They are absolutely wonderful!! The seasoning is exceptional-is there any way to find out what it is or purchase it?
I spent many of my days in college day dreaming of your chips, and I couldn’t wait to get out of class and be able to eat the lovely chips. My roommates and I would walk home from campus (of course, discussing your chips on the way and how excited we were to eat them) and we would all partake in eating the chips. There were also times when I would sneak chips out of my roommate’s bag if I didn’t have a bag of my own.
My love for the chips has extended into the professional world as well (despite day-dreaming about your chips in class, I did graduate college with honors!). My fellow colleagues and I will switch off buying a bag once a week so we always have some available for any sudden desire that arises for the chips.
I just wanted to thank you for making such a delightful chip that has provided much pleasure!
Sincerely,
Heath
