ahhhh come on doc

this is all in fun and from what i can see you take things much too seriously.

I would hate to know I had a doctor that was so uptight.

get a life --- it is the only thing that is ever yours.

Question

So where would I fit in on this......

Running a home for abused and neglected Airstreams. Maybe just a halfway house....

I have to say that my trailer is not showing gender yet, but since I'm giving it soooo much attention, it may be a girl and happy for now. We will see what happens over the next few weeks now that I'm done working till the warm weather.

"Anthropomorphosis"??? - I absolutely hate it when I have to get the dictionary out!!

Your right ..... some people have a life ..... some people need a life.

Me?? - I think my life is pretty good - and my Toaster thinks so to!!

Hey Doc, you must have your PHD (Piled Higher & Deeper) in Philisophy ! Normal people just don't think like that

Talking to the trailer beats talking to myself .

[So the closest they come to being 'alive' is that they are all prostitutes. Little whores. Providing pleasure to the privileged few while exacting a price.]

And definitely beats talking to hookers and little whores. (Are those with BIG rigs talking to big whores)? The men in the white coats probably won't be put on alert if I talk to a trailer - but if I talk to myself....

So the way I see it, the very existance of these old barges is a societal benefit of parmount importance. Would you really want to see these Airstream fanatics let loose with nothing to entertain them? Imagine the chaos that could ensue:

Roving bands of wild eyed, pop rivet gun, toting wanna-be mechanics converging on unsuspecting RV lots, malls and airport hangers.

Thousands of gallons of vulkem poured into the streets.

Excess polishing agents and tools sold at department store makeup counters to ubnsuspecting teens by overly passionate slightly aged men for lord knows what purpose.

The removal of the oval from geometry text books.

We cannot allow this plight to befall our fair nation. It is our patriotic and societal obligation to keep these renegade, Airstream lovers fully occupied for the safety and prosperity of all.

So.... if a little conversation with a curvacious lady who has spine, a sense of humor and demonstrated ability to gracefully cope with what life sends her way, is all that stands between us and the complete breakdown of society as we know it, I say: talk to your Airstreams, rub them till they glow in appreciation, annoint them with lovely baubles and georgeous tapestries and keep the world safe!

Actually it is alarming that one could own an A/S and NOT love it.

Maybe, I suspect, he is trying to rile us because nobody calls my BABY a whore without getting my ire up.

And you guys' funny reacations are precious.

My wife and I have "named" our Airstream and our cars, but they are just tools and we use them as such.

It's interesting. I ride bicycles a lot. I ride to work some and on my time off do long distance riding. Before this post it never occured to me to name one of my bicycles and I just can get up the desire to do that either. I don't know why and I've probably thought too much about this already so on to more important stuff.

Oh, come on!

Here we all are with cabin fever and the mid winter doldrums. . .and then along comes this terrific post that made me laugh so hard! Doc may have been reading posts just a short while, but does he ever "get it!" Go back and read it again. Doc, I thought your post was great. We needed this fresh and funny look at ourselves. Thanks. I'm still laughing!

What Kind of Doctor?

C'mon, all the clues are there:

even to the perception of conception
in detail the actual "birth" complete with factory photos, ultrasound and detailed in utero progress
never had a headache, a pap smear, a menstrual cycle

people began sending congratulatory messages about the newborn
with a cigar in one hand and a beer in the other
I became somewhat lightheaded.
hold on tight to your Thetford toilet

Providing pleasure while exacting a price
So why not enjoy the ride
extract the one thing we have in common, the desire for Proc recreation
Isn't that what life is all about ?

Doc C, OB/GYN

Thanks for your subtle humor and a good laugh. Yes, that's what life is all about!

Regards,
Jeff (& Maureen, OB/GYN, RNC)

Thanks Doc
It made me think how short life is and so I went out and hugged my trailer at it's 8 foot wide behind. I will take even better care of it cause it's our only baby. Who gives a rats rump what other people think, love your stuff if you want to.

Talking

Well Tinsel, I should have taken Doc's advice. I not only went out and hugged my trailer but then tried to kiss it in this cold weather. Ouch! You know the rest of the story if you watched "Christmas Story."

Look what you started!

People kicking, hugging, kissing their Airstreams.

Stop the Insanity!

Tell us what you named your "baby" (the 86 - 34' Excella)?
