I am delighted...Dear Scooter In The Sticks (Stve):<br /><br />I am delighted that your wife is taking an interest in "Twisted Roads." I think my blog is an important part of a healthy relationship, and that sharing it generally brings bliss to both new and long-established romances.<br /><br />Some women love the idea that a guy will actually put a little heart and soul in getting them a romantic gift. Others are suspicious of these efforts, either thinking the man in their life has consulted a ringer, like myself; or is consorting with some floozie. They demand the cash.<br /><br />I thought the idea of the bonsai tree was neet. And I wanted my friends to know where they could get one. Leslie is the recipient of a tile every holiday. That works for her and me, so I reported it.<br /><br />Big Jim's cookies are to die for. So I mentioned those too. And while I was at it, I pushed my own book.<br /><br />Women don't get blow jobs. They get "Duck Calls." And many women stop looking for duck calls thinking they won't be called upon to reciprocate. <br /><br />If you like, I'll be delighted to write a story for your wife titled, "Duck Call of the Wild." <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-12321614982092424952011-01-27T21:46:42.380-05:002011-01-27T21:46:42.380-05:00Dear Mr. Riepe: As is sometimes the case, I read ...Dear Mr. Riepe: As is sometimes the case, I read this post to my wife.

Yet it does run through charming places like Wayne, Pa.<br /><br />It has a parallel expressway from Exton to Gap, which gets picturesque at its western terminus. But US-30 west of Gettysburg gets really beautiful in spots, and flakey when it comes to a commercial crossroads. Yet I have really enjoyed riding on it from time to time. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-43744297102858476022011-01-26T12:35:25.531-05:002011-01-26T12:35:25.531-05:00Dear Nikos:

I am not surprised that Bobscoot is a closet "R" bike "Wanna Be." He wants so badly to dump the Yamaha and be one of the boys "In The Bund." He thinks that by dancing cheek-to-cheek with me he's going to get my K75. <br /><br />He is soooooooooooooo mistaken. <br /><br />I like your idea with the "Bondage tree."<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-71452096755614851082011-01-26T12:23:53.091-05:002011-01-26T12:23:53.091-05:00Dear Snickshift (Bill):

Consider the average guy, who really wants to surprise his honey with a semi-original Valentine's gift, but who hates like hell to wander through fucked up stores looking at a lot of bland shit. <br /><br />He can use my method: which is to go with one of my sugestions, call the appropriate number given, and pick up the damn thing wrapped and ready to go. In the case of the tile, tell Martha you want something with a heart, a cherub, a flower, an arrow, or a mulit-dimensional effect that could have a link to Valentine's Day. <br /><br />Total originality factor: 88/100; <br />Total surprise factor: 92/100;<br />BJ likelihood factor: Much higher than normal<br />Total time spent shopping: 11 minutes.<br /><br />Beat that. <br /><br />I am flattered that you follow my work from one story to the next. Tomorrow's blog story will be a pisser. And the BMW MOA people are getting ready to run another one of my stories on their website. <br />The difference is that the blog has all the spicey details, while the MOA stuff is vanilla, to prevent riots.<br /><br />Take care Bill.<br /><br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-51414728470944126582011-01-25T17:57:33.396-05:002011-01-25T17:57:33.396-05:00Your mention of US-30 reminded me of that horrible...Your mention of US-30 reminded me of that horrible road and it's crossing of Ohio.

Terni was where where I happened to grow up and I can assure you there never was any mention of the Bishop who lost his life defending the right of two star crossed lovers to get married. It was all totally unAmerican, the absence of any municipal effort to cash in on it's most famous resident.<br />All of which makes no difference to you, I know, I sigh with sadness.( The massacre was in Chicago by the way, not Umbria). <br />I never really noticed your kitchen tiles so next time I'm up there I will ask you to please bend over in the kitchen and show them to me. A fundamental bonsai would be too good a fate for you (and Bobskoot and his anti Triumph cracks).Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-26951945485099252282011-01-25T11:13:07.920-05:002011-01-25T11:13:07.920-05:00Dear Dan:
