I had a call from Smiley tonight.I could tell he was troubled.He spoke as though he was short of breath. He could hardly make a sentence without stuttering. He knew he had a problem when he bit his dog. His anxiety got the best of him.

A Neighbor called 911 and an emergency vehicle rushed to Smileys home, when they arrived Smiley was frothing at the mouth,he was examined and the diagnosis is a rare disease called MODENITIS..his DSL moden has been down for three days and he's in bad shape. He called the ISP and they walked Smiley through the steps to determine where
the problem was.
Smiley was asked by the technician to go outside and open the telephone box and look at the connections.

He did this at 2 am and holding a flashlight in one hand and his cell phone in the other,it was diagnosed as a faulty connection
in his phone line. He was dressed as usual,
casual with only his underwear on. Since it was the weekend he was wearing clean underwear.

Other than his panting and frothing at the mouth and growling like a mad dog,the prognosis is good,he should be back on line by Tuesday of this week.

He asked me to tell all of you of his problem
I know you wish him well He's going
Bananas. Stay tuned.. He misses all of you. PS the dog is OK after he received his rabies shot.

Thank You. edited for I hope the dog survives the bite.

Jody ,according to my AOL IM buddy list his modem is kicking on and off.I walked him through trying to get two years of Temp files dumped.I believe they will find out his computer is running too slow for the modem.

Smiley is being examined for "Mad Cow" disease..I thought he stopped playing with those udder levers. I beleive the Cow got Mad because Smiley didnt use the
right touch Its all in the hands,,not this time.

Smileys Phone company charges him by the word, not by the minute. I talked to him a couple of Sundays ago, Phone call started about 6:30 am and by 9 all I got to say was Hmm, Okay & Goodbye Smiley. Wonder what he is mixing in his Fruit Loops, Prunes maybe?

Edited to say:
that he did discuss his Shobud S-10 and his Sat night gig, Now that qualifies it to be in the Steel Players Area .

Can't move it to Humor Now b0b.

Jody if Smileys going to burn a Pizza it would have to be in the Microwave. He hasn't been able to find the oven door for years I'm sure it has something stored in it as well as in front of it.

Smiley:
Pay no attention to Jody. He is the one with a rare disease known in medical circles as "uglyitis". He tried to cure it with face lifts, but it hasn't helped. And don't let him put you down regarding computers. He is still seaching for the "ANY" key the computer told him to press.

Edited to spell his name correctly. My spell checker says it should be "Hody"

Just spoke to Smiley and he won't be back on until at least friday......He is having a tough time. He told me he is on heavy medication (12 budwiesers a day)and sits starring at the blank screen waiting for it to go on. Poor Smiley ,It doesn't look like he is going to make it.Come to think of it he never looks like he is.

I think Smiley’s problem is the fact that he got a PC and gave me his old Web-Plus Unit. This unit serves me well even with it's limitations. I got my own Website and do a lot of things he never did with it. I sure am greatful to Smiley for this Unit, but; it's too bad he's having problems! I guess that's what has made us such good friends for so many years. He's not afraid to part with something he can't handle! Anyone looking for a good used PC, get in touch with Smiley, if you can! His phone number is, Oh, sorry ’bout that. I got carried away! He might be woodshedding with his newly acquired Gibson BR-9. That should keep him busy for a long time! “Big John”

Update on Smiley's absence.

Earthlink doctors have diagosed Smileys problem as being MODENITIS.

Smiley informed me by telephone tonight that
he is ready for the call from the bench to warm up and leave the bullpen and start pitching again.

He expects to be back in the ball game by this coming Wednesday. His fast ball is breaking on the outside corner so be prepared
for some fancy pitching. He may also throw
a few curve balls on the inside corner as well. He's rarin to go. And the Crowd Goes Wild. his knuckle ball is knucklin.

Well Jody!..not being into whatever game it is you are talking about I can't comment on Smileys Balls....dont know whats happening there.
All I can say is I was in a bar in LA one time just having a couple of cold ones...the T.Vee had on somekinda game where they all had on helmets and big pads and were running up and down knocking each other over.......the Bartender came out from the back polishing a glass and said.."Whats the score?"
I said..Ï dont even know what the B***&y game is !!!!"
Didnt get real good service after that !!
I got to say though that I do miss my evil Twin.......of a few years difference.....I was hiding when they came to get me!!!!!
Hope he gets back soon !!!!
