whack attack

a huge hooba hola to the peeps


hooba here watching the moonshine over the mountain. the orb in the sky not the juice in the jug. sunday's update must still be circling in cyberspace as apparently it hasn't reached any of you. i'd like to thank those of you who sent your home remedies for poison oak to young hooba. between bernadette, a doctor and a dermatologist we seem to have cured the rash. hooba and gus send a big thank you to all. should it happen to any of you hooba will forward the salve.

many of you ask how things are going with the seniors in west linn and hooba appreciates your concern. seems this week there is a bit of a bug in the neighborhood and that means many are enjoying a liquid diet. it's ashame that the flu shots are still a week or two away but that will not deter the kitchen from delivering what the peeps want. hooba and some of his fellow workers have started bowling on monday nights in a co-ed league in tigard and quite honestly we ain't that good. thank god for the handicap as it's worth about 200 or more pins a game. the "gutternauts" have shirts but are just good enough to avoid being killed every week and thus far we're in a battle for first. hooba will keep you posted. seems he can't crack the 200 mark but it's on the horizon. it's the shoes ala mars.

hooba sends a shout out to his friend mike in phx for sending a cd he burned for the folks here at husum's hangout. plenty of great country music and some humor mixed in for grins. nice work mike and thanks again. that got hooba to thinking about recording his own cd of country tunes. when hooba thinks country he thinks about some of the same crap you hear on the radio nowadays. seems it ain't country if it ain't all about "lovin', lying, drinking, and cheatin' ". hooba and a bunch of them hollywood stars have many similarities in that department. that said this cd will be chock full of sure fire hits for your listening enjoyment and could be a platinum chart buster. don't think for a minute that hooba hasn't considered this before but the timing happens to be just about right for his foray into the nashville sound. here's a rundown of tunes that will get your toes tapping and bring a smile to your faces. let hooba know what you think.

you aren't the first whack job i've dated

let's be honest, just don't expect it from me

my neighbors recycle is full of my empties

why get a job when i'll find a sucker to be my sugar daddy?

need space? check between your ears

my expectations don't apply to me

are you sure there's more to life than sleeping, drinking and sex?

i met him for lunch and left you before dinner

how much chardonnay is too much chardonnay?

you thought i was a mess and then you saw the trailer

i thought supertramp was an 80's rock group

if any of you have suggestions or changes let hooba know before he hits the studio. rest assured you'll be the first to get this one time offer via email or the website. there will be no shipping or handling charges as that generally is where these kinds of hit cd's make there money. should there be a profit we'll give it to charity, which lately the restaurant falls into that category. like hooba always says "if that ain't country i'll kiss your ***".

now onto more pertinent things such as the "RIB NIGHTS" which will begin this saturday. the kinks have been worked out of the hillbilly smoker and john and hooba are confident that we can deliver a product unlike any other here in the gorge. like the menu itself the price is yet to be determined but rest assured that the ribs will be the equal of or surpass the pulled pork sandwiches. the mere fact that you can't get them elsewhere should be enough. hooba will let you decide if they are worthy.

hooba would like to thank our friends who've dropped by in the past couple of weeks and they include michelle and teri from seattle who were in for golf and lunch last sat. the gang from the inn of the white salmon as we seem to be on the same page. marsha and the media tour for including "husum's hangout" in the activities of the day. marsh, doris and karen for going back to back last weekend. gerry and smasher even thought the bears lost and certainly not least of all mike and jessica for playing scrabble and watching playoff baseball. we'll continue to blaze the trail for those of you who wish to be a part of it and in the meantime hooba will sit on the porch staring at the magnificent example of god's creation while thinking about all of you who continue to be the best customers around. as the fab four would say "the love you take is equal to the love you make". name the song and the album and win huge prizes. be happy and vote.
