At the Home of William Largepants
Yesterday, The Great Mushnik and Silent Bill took The Great Ducknik out to lunch to celebrate Ducknik's birthday, which took place while Plottie was in Nashville. The first part of the day was spent on the Haight Ashbury Famously Famous Poets Tour, where a picture was taken in front of William Largepants's graciously gracious Big Yellow House.
Lunch at Cha Cha Cha was delicious, although all four people ended up ordering the same thing, which ought to be illegal. But before anyone could eat, a troublesome question needed to be answered: can this car possibly fit in this parking place? Plotnik said 'Sure! Easy!' but that was before Mush said: 'Why don't you park it then?' Turned out he was right, but with only a few inches to spare on both sides.
Earlier, Plottie took a picture of the Great JackyWhack on the ladder in his Space Invaders outfit. Painters spend a lot more time getting ready to paint than they do painting. Using a brush must be the enjoyable part, but it only comes after many days of standing on a ladder in close quarters breathing in the fumes from a stinking heat gun to melt off old paint so you can scrape it away. Jack's a detail guy -- exactly who you want doing all that prep work. He also looks good in that mask, in case he needs to knock over a convenience store on on the way home from work.

First, I agree about everyone ordering the same thing. There is no way I would have expected that with this group. This is "when pigs fly" stuff.
Second, I read about the parking in commano but I thought she was exaggerating. That is amazing! How long did it take - how many bumper taps?
Third, paint prep is miserable work but very crucial. It's a good thing there are people like JackyWhack around, although he probably needs more ladders.
Wow, that's Will's house? Beautiful. Jack must have painted it.
Terrific photo of Will's home ~ did you send it to him? Did you tell him you checked his mail? That was a fine lunch and it was so nice to catch up with you two. G-R-E-A-T parking, as we can now all see...
Am honored to be included on the Famously Famous Poets' Tour, which I presume also included the reclusively reclusive August Kleinzahler's digs and the sadly dead Thom Gunn and, uh, well, there are just so many of us, especially if you include the dead ones. Sad to say, WackyJack did not paint the outside of the house, as he wasn't
painting the outside of anything when he painted the inside of a
couple of rooms, which turned out great even though they were on the
inside of the house, but I wish he had painted the outside, because
then it wouldn't be rusting up in the part that's out of the photo.
Maybe when we get around to painting again in 2030 WackyJack will paint the outside, but I hope by then he's sitting at home playing blues harp with his favorite vinyl copy of, oh, say, Hoodoo Man Blues.
And what's with you, Plot? You didn't mention the dish you all
ordered. I'm guessing it was the pork quesadillas, which are Yum Yum
Yum. Now I'll try to send this comment. Good luck to me. If writing poems were this hard, I'd switch to golf.
For major house renovation in Tennessee a permit could be required. If one is required, it's always best for the contractor to tug the permit. If you acquire a permit in your name, you may not be ready to shield yourself in the case of low quality work.
