C'mon, Paul... Surely that has to get me in!?!

the very fact that you are wearing safety head gear would indicate to me that you are not suitable for entry into the dorkleheads. much too sensible. imho.

Nonsense! I only wore it to keep a "racing" theme! You know me better than to think I normally bother with a skid lid!

At one point the horse tried to buck me off (we have a pic of that too) and my Long-Haired General was terrified I'd fall off and she'd have to explain the scene to the ambulance men!

I'd like to thank all the people I've stepped on along the way to make it this far.

I've lied, cheated and stolen to get here.


Thanks Paul!

Now, for the Dorklehead Oath... " Matt4hand...
do solemly swear to uphold Dorklehead status, with liberty and justice for all, till death do us part."

NEWS FLASH!!!!!! Dateline: Scotland

After an Emergency meeting of the Dorklehead club, and "viewing" of new evidence presented by Mark (Grumpy Badger), (then some SERIOUS drinking by the club members after viewing that evidence...) the unminous vote was achieved...

.... TO ADMIT GRUMPY BADGER TO THE DORKLEHEAD CLUB!!!







How could we NOT admit him? Anyone riding a horse naked has exhibited ALL the qualities of a TRUE Dorklehead!!!!


Mark, congrats on your admission!

Thanks Paul, isn't it great to see what $500 can do for you when you put them at the right place?

I'll let you off with that since, on that particular morning, there was very little to distinguish me from a girl at a casual glance!!! Damn it was cold!!!
HOWEVER...
As Clint Eastwood once said...
" I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it..."

...and you know what happened when they DIDN'T apologise!
