i have a wee bit of buyer's remorse over jug # 8, the trapper. of the 12 jugs i purchased from the shop this was most expensive and all i can say is; "it seemed like a good idea at the time." in my misspent youth i spent time in the north and remember visiting the grave site of ALBERT JOHNSON, the mad trapper of rat river. he's a fascinating guy who really gave the cops a run for their money. i love the memory of albert johnson but staring into the eyes of trapper jug i just don't make a spiritual connection. so it goes.
this whole gimmick is leading up to jug #12 which i still hold in high esteem but on friday the mother of all jugs arrived and all other jugs on the planet pale in comparison this fucking beauty. it's so fucking beautiful and mesmerizing that i severely injured my back on saturday moving stuff around to create a suitable place of honor. this jug is no fucking gimmick!
no shit, my back is really fucked up. i can hardly walk and my right leg is numb. lower back injury compounded by sciatic nerve damage. i saw the doctor this morning and was given the the standard speech about being careful and told to get some physio. ain't life fucking grand.
albert flasher, albert johnson, close enough for me.
i love you sons of bitches.

Sorry about the back pain. I know from experience that can be debilitating.
Rest up some, ya stubborn son of a gun.
I know that pain..after 4 back operations..my advice? heating pad..
thims - i think you and atticus are going to get a kick out of mother of all jugs when the mother of all unveilings takes place.
js - right now i'm using ice and it seems to help. but the stuff is really fucking cold.
Well, he's not a bad-looking for an outlaw, I'll give him that. Was his moustache so perfectly trimmed in real life?
Sorry about your back...I might have the mold to that one or something real close...Coffee is on
gb - i'm guessing that the mad trapper was a little rough around the edges. not nearly as well groomed as dudley do-right.
dora - my back thanks you. and a cup of coffee is an excellent idea.
Okay the eyes here are saying something like, "Yeah, Guess Who," rocks?
I must look up Albert Johnson. Sounds like an interesting story. Yikes about your back! I have some sciatic nerve problems too, thanks to a full toy shipment and a truck driver who was a fracking Teamster. (They only drive, not unload.) Take good care of you. I want to see the mother of all jugs. The suspense is building!
