40? oh my.

From JD on Thu, Jan 02, 2014 at 15:16:29 from 70.96.78.188

welcome to the blog! if you're looking for extra motivation and a good time, you should check out the "Ragnar Race Series".

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Jan 02, 2014 at 19:16:52 from 184.3.229.176

If you're looking to pick cotton and catch 'possums, come visit me. I can always use an extra hook. I mean hand.

From Tracy on Fri, Jan 03, 2014 at 06:09:51 from 50.103.252.199

First run down. Now where's the second? And what's with the .07???!!

From Burt on Fri, Jan 03, 2014 at 20:02:32 from 184.98.222.93

allie - yes, 40. So your little schoolgirl crush on me has to end.

JD - Quit trying to be an ambassador. I made Ragnar what it is today.

QP - I actually am looking to do those things. See you soon.

Tracy - The second one almost happened last night. Then I got invited to the Suns game. Then the Suns lost. Why did they lose? Because they got emotional and are too young to keep their emotions in check. Then Goran Dragic started playing dirty and it made me very upset. I don't want to hate him. We are talking about the Suns, right?

From Tracy on Sat, Jan 04, 2014 at 14:19:08 from 50.103.252.199

Did you get invited to Suns games on Friday and Saturday, too?

From Burt on Sat, Jan 04, 2014 at 17:38:14 from 184.98.222.93

I bought tickets for every day this year. But the funny thing was, the doors were locked yesterday.

From SlowJoe on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 15:05:26 from 66.69.93.8

That's because you bought tickets to the Phoenix Buns. I told you not to get them on ebay...

From Burt on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 19:45:03 from 184.98.222.93

Ah. Buns. Feel free to join me any time, Joe. It's nice to have another buns guy in the family.

From allie on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:11:39 from 174.23.134.136

hey, you should put me on your list. ok.

From Burt on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:21:52 from 184.98.222.93

Not this year, allie. Maybe next year.

From Tara on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:22:30 from 75.169.138.116

Hey, put Allie on your list. Let me know when you've got around to doing that. Ok?

New year, new you. That's the topic I'm guest speaking on in a Relief Society conference in Ogden, coming up. You're invited to come.

From Tara on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:23:24 from 75.169.138.116

Also, 40? Oh my.

From Burt on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:25:16 from 184.98.222.93

Tara guest speaking at a Relief Society conference? That's gotta be as explosive as Joe's Shizzle!

From allie on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:25:33 from 174.23.134.136

tara - i can spritz your hair up for the conference. let me know.

burt - i just threw my crockpot across the room. ok.

From Tara on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 20:35:23 from 75.169.138.116

Allie- I'm going to need a full crimp. Our newest sponsor, Krimp-&-Go called, they want to make sure we're using their product.

Burt- I can't remember, are you bald?

From Burt on Sun, Jan 05, 2014 at 21:14:32 from 184.98.222.93

Only on my elbows.
