Wouldn’t it be nice to have long arms?
I mean like r-e-a-l-l-y, REALLY long arms…..So long that you could reach across WHOLE states to hug a sister or a friend whenever you get the gumption.
I have one thing to say, “Go-Go Gadget Perky Arms!!!!!!” ;)
I love y’all!
February 14th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
Go-Go Gadget arms would be awesome! Not only hugs, but no more post office. You could just hand deliver everything. And then for the non-friends. It would be so easy to ring someone’s neck. ;-)
February 14th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Kevin, I LIKE the way your brain works!!! I say that more for the hand delivery thought than the possibility of neck-ringing – BUT HEY – whatever flips your boat! ;)
February 14th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
hmm, would you have to wind them back in like fishing line?
February 14th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Aww. Thanks my dear, Perky. That was just what I needed. *HUG*
February 14th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
are you on west coast time??
February 14th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
SARAH ELIZABETH PERKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST GOT THE MOST ADORABLE CARD IN THE MAIL FROM YOU!!!!!! My socks were blown SO FAR OFF…that I’m sure Nik must have seen them go flying by!!!!!!!!! Now you have absolutely chased away my grumps. I love ya!
February 14th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Must be, Niko ~ its been putting the time behind like that :-P I am so PROUD of you for commenting here! YAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah – it occurred to me how awkward storage would be for arms like that – but I think the benefits outway the obstacles :) :) :)
*hug* for Mel! Love you!
February 14th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
THREE CHEERS FOR GRUMPY CHASERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 15th, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Hugs are great! I could use one tonight. :)
February 16th, 2007 at 10:43 am
Hey I just had a thought. Wouldn’t Go-Go gadget legs be better? Then you could just step over there and give them a real hug instead of a long distance hug, and it would still be just as easy. Oh well, just a thought
February 16th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Go Go Gadget Legs!!?? I’d love to see those high-waters!!! LOL!!!!
But – again – the benefits definitely outway the negatives!! I like your brain. Yes…..Go-Go gadget legs WOULD be better! :)
February 16th, 2007 at 12:11 pm
Some one needs a go-go gadget brain instead. :)
February 16th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
KEVIN AND I ARE OFFENDED!!!! [Aren’t we, Kevin?]
;-)
February 16th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Kevin???
February 16th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
I’m curious if go-go-gadget legs could also be made small enough to fit in the compact areas that commercial airlines allow per passenger?
‘course who would need commercial airlines anymore??
…all that would be flying ’round would be the knocked off socks! ;-)
February 16th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
YES I’M OFFENDED!! Josh I can’t believe you said that! sheesh. I think someone needs a go-go gadget tongue to do some apologizing with ;-)
I thought “Go-Go gadget” meant that they were retractable? I could be wrong on that.
February 16th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
Is that Nik Payne?
February 16th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
It is Nik Payne! How do y’all know each other? :-)
February 16th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Uh. He was on one of Matthew’s cadet teams in Michigan. I’ve met him at Knoxville a few times. Matthew knows him better than I do.
February 16th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
Ah, cool! It’s a small world! :-)
As for Josh, on further consideration ;) ….. Little brothers are given special teasing privileges, right? So, J, no apology necessary on my part :-) You might have to send Kevin an e-card though! :)
February 16th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
You’re right, thanks Perky! I have a tendency to stick my big go-go gadget foot in my mouth a lot. It’s part of my whole personality/dry humor sort of thingy ish. eh hem :)
Anything for a laugh?
J
February 16th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
It worked, J!!! I smiled heartily today between you and Kevin and Niko! Y’all are great! :) Thanks, guys!
BTW, Niko, about the commercial airline problem – I know it’s a struggle to find a place for long legs on those int’l flights! They do that to make you grateful for layovers. ;)
February 16th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
No. No e-card nessecary. Just some good natured pickin going on. :-P
February 16th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Hey, that almost sounds like something eatable. “Natured Pickin” ;)
February 16th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
Yeah it goes good with the “wild critter and chaw chaw” (whatever that is) :-P
February 16th, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Go-Go gadget legs………..I like it!!!!!!! Could we also have cute Go-Go gadget bags to carry all our Go-Go gadget things in??? Like brown and turquoise….and maybe pink and lime green for Mel with polka dots of course……what do ya think???
We could totally market this stuff….I can hear it now…..BUT WAIT!!! THERE’S MORE!!!!!!!!!!! Call in the next 15 minutes and we’ll include our all new Go-Go gadget carrier for a mere $10.95!!!!
Wow, we should get on this!!!! :-)
February 16th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
No one ever buys anything that has, “But wait there’s more” or “Call in the next…” in the advertising slogan. At least anyone that has half a brain in their head. :) Ask yourself this question, is that the target audience I want to advertise to? Get rid of the QVC mentality, and take the starbucks approach…high price…decent product…and all about the image. :)
The best way to make a fortune with these bags is go main stream, create a commerce site, and advertise using direct marketing. Get them to want it and then get a commitment. You will need a call center, a knowledgeable sales staff, and excellent customer care.
I would use the slogan, “go-go bags for the go-go world”. They’re everywhere you want to be. Later you could then break out into, “Go-go backpacking” and come out with a whole line of go-go backpacks. You could do back to school promos as well as summer vacation backpacking options.
Just some advise from the marketing man in the family. :)
February 16th, 2007 at 10:52 pm
I WANT IT!!!! The GREEN ONE with PINK POLKA DOTS!!! But wait…there MUST be more…surely it comes with a go-go wallet??
February 16th, 2007 at 10:53 pm
And, Mel, it will consume all of your go-go CASH! I am so sorry to disappoint :(
February 16th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
YES, cause it’s the high price, good quality one, right?
February 16th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
OK – Erin and Joshua – Y’all are hysterical! A person could totally figure out your personalities and brain types just by reading those comments! I love it! LOL! The two of you are like – peanut butter and jelly! macaroni and cheese! chips and salsa! :) You go great together!
Note to self: Don’t analyze people or draw analogies after 1 AM.
February 16th, 2007 at 11:13 pm
Sarah must be hungry.
February 16th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
She SAYS SHE IS!!!!!!! *I’m on the phone with her!!!* She says that right now, she would like to eat….anything…EVEN WILD CRITTER AND CHAW CHAW!!!!
February 16th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
YES! I am hungry! Dear, dear me….
And I WILL eat wild critter and chaw-chaw! As long as a cow is considered a wild critter and “chaw-chaw” is a fancy word for potatoes! :P
February 16th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
OK…Just for you Kevin and Sarah, I went BACK to the site I originally found when I commented about Chaw chaw first. Here you go:
Chaw Chaw
One gallon of green tomatoes, one pint of sugar, one fourth cup chopped horse radish, one teaspoon of ground cloves, same of allspice, two teaspoons of ground black pepper, three heads celery cut in inch pieces, twelve good sized onions, add one small cup of salt to the chopped tomatoes, and let stand over night. In the morning press out all the juice and add the ingredients with enough good vinegar to cover, boil all till tender and put away for winter use.
Anna B. Robison
Go for it Perky!!!! ;-D
February 16th, 2007 at 11:43 pm
Know what??? That sounds remarkably like our TONIC!!!
February 16th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Miss Melanie Ann Bogner!
“Put away for winter use” sounds like a good idea to me……Winter of 2056!
I think instead of wild critter and chaw-chaw – I’ll have… uh…..
Anybody got a box of Cheez-Its???
February 16th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
I love cheez-its! I’ll go for that.
Melanie, I’ve lived in Arkansas virtually all my life. I’ve never ever ever, in my vast experience with church potlucks all over this grand and glorious state, heard or seen or smelled anything that ever resembled that.
February 17th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Well, Mr. Never-ever-ever, you should be more up on your Arkansas culture!!!
That recipe is from:
Rodgers, Arkansas Historical Museum
Cumberland Presbyterian Ladies Cook Book

February 17th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Oh ok. No wonder. I’ve only been to one Presbyterian church and that was in Dallas. And I don’t think it was Cumberland Pres either. I bet that stuff is mentioned in their church covanent or something.
February 17th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
LOL Ok, ok, since everyone is hungry and we miss each other on top of everything else, I think we should have a BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like maybe a company picnic for Go-Go Gadget Inc.!!!!!!!! At Perky’s house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next weekend!!!!!!!!! What do y’all say?????? :-) If I don’t sit here and eat all my jelly beans I’ll bring those to the picnic too!!!!
AND if we’re seriously about the Go-Go Gadget stuff there should be Go-Go Gadget cutesy socks, like a variety knee socks that are striped and fun colors, Oooo and they should have fuzzy stuff on them somewhere!!!!
February 17th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
ROFL!!! FUZZY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!! ;) Oh my soul. You are WAY too funny, Lizzy my dear!
February 17th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
I’m with Lizzy on this one…Let’s get together. :) My home is your home :)
And Erin, you can bring all the fuzzy slippers, socks, purses, hair do-dads, and – of course – pillows that you want!
Josh, come equipped with your advertising/marketing/positive sales pitch ideas – but most of all, just bring the Josh that we like so much.
Kevin, bring wild critters and chaw-chaw to your heart’s content – or to Melanie’s heart’s content. And while you’re on the way down, would you mind picking up Chris and Catherine. I miss ’em.
Mel…Mel…Dear Mel…If YOU COME, you will be loved to bits (you already are) AND Erin will give you TWO Go-Go-Gadget wallets (if she can convince Josh that it’s a good strategy).
Oh, and having dear Beth with us is a must. After all, SOMEBODY would have to keep this crew in line ;-)
Niko, you can come too!!!! Though I know you’re leaving soon. Make sure to take a picture on that flight to Romania of the small seating space allotment. That way we can plan properly for leg storage.
Y’all are precious!!!!
