Dang Dave, you need to jettison some of those old friends who 1) borrow your pick up truck to move, 2) have ya' lend money to 'em, 3) know all about yur bad habits and 4) want you to rent a Tux and stand up for 'em when they git hitched.
Now son, you ain't think'in about the fact that this here Git Together ain't like one of them normal ones - it's right after that dang mid-term Elections! Peoples is gone to be celebrat'in one way or the other. They is either going to be excited that we turned a couple of degrees to Starboard and might be gitt'in out of the Doldrums OR they's gonna be try'in to kill the pain of think'in about liv'in on the same planet as the History challenged, snot-nosed, what's in it for me Crowd!!
These dang weddings ain't been work'in out lately anyhow. - Why bother miss'in a Gathering just to go to some'thin a Judge and two Bull Shark attorneys is gonna' run through a paper shredder in a couple of years anyhow? Conner and Karen and Marsha and my's wedd'ins just hang'in on by a thread 'cause the 'old Guy and I, we's honed the skill of disguising actual boat operational costs as Little League, PETA, Habitat for Humanity, Save the Jellyfish, and I stand with the Mosquitos contributions and important stuff like that. This ain't an actual Lois Learner approved deduction but we managed to put up enough of a smoke screen of BS to not only throw off the IRS the NSA and the DHS but most importantly, our wives! Conner and I took a blood oath that if we ever git caught with these schemes, we's jump'in off the Skyway.
I'll probably jump down there by the bait house where it ain't too high - but still, I'd have to swim to Cockroach Bay and live out the rest of my years there where I know Marsha would never look. It would be a simple life, cabbage palm hearts, roasted whelk conch, sleep'in on a picnic table and occasionally Donny would send a bottle of Elixer out with the falling tide from Apollo Beach! Someday maybe Snookerd would bring me one of them new fancy SeaCraft tee shirts, but I'd have to send it back, if it wasn't in the Moesly "script".
