You all can go to hell, I'm going to Laramie.

[landpoke]

Since it's snowing again, I have nothing better to do and I'm a bit of an unknown quantity, here are my answers:

How did you find CUF?
I received a boardmail over on CG inviting me to stab the creator of that board in the back. I've always been a sucker for treachery so here I am.

What do you like about CUF?
The naked wrestling

What don't I like about CUF?
Everyone's too damn reasonable and willing to listen to other's point of view.

How did you choose your moniker?
The first sports message board I frequented was the GoWyoGo board. One night after about 3/4 of a bottle of rye I decided to start posting. Posting, of course, requires a board name so I mashed together my occupation (landman) and Pokes and added an "ie" for good measure. Landmanpokie was born. A couple of days later when I sobered up I realized that booze had, for the first time in my life, failed me. On every subsequent board I've frequented I've used the more sober and formal "landpoke." The goal, after all, is to be taken seriously.

What do you do (other than read CUF)?
Professional: Assure that my children and my children's children live in a world much, much darker and hellish than the world we currently inhabit.
Personal: Drink, golf, drink, fish, drink, hunt, drink, read, drink and drink.

How many States have you lived in?
4.25: Oregon, New Mexico, Wyoming, District of Columbia, Colorado

What are your sports loyalties?
THE University of Wyoming. Rip 'em up, tear 'em up, give 'em hell WY-O!
I also follow the Denver Broncos and am a fanatical, to the point of rediculousness, COLORADO ROCKIES fan! ROCKTOBER you sum-bitches.

What's your standing in the church?
I visited Temple Square once and an ex-girlfriend of mine ended up converting and marrying one of you folks. To my knowledge the two are not related.

Do you pee in the sink?
Yes. It all goes to the same place.

When your kids get older, will you do drugs with them in order to teach them a responsible approach to drugs?
Is alcohol a drug? If so then yes.

Are you looking forward to Wuap's welcome question and what do you think it will be?
I find Wuap's questions to be superficial and derivative, but sure.

Why are you so creepy? How long have you been lurking?
A) Inbreeding. B)Since the dawn of time.

You forgot to list the Colorado Rockies in your sports loyalties. Do I need to put your name in a smaller font?

I'm still in an alcoholic haze after yesterday's victory, cut me some slack. (Oh and fixed.)

We shall be great friends. Someone finally passed the test.

Sorry, I didn't mean to jump all over you. I'm just a little discouraged at the tepid response to Rocktober here on CUF. I have to remind myself it is populated mostly by BYU fans.

Cross examination:

How come you know the lyrics to Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree?

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

landpoke has increased my love of Wyoming and the Beavers, I find myself worried about the Wyoming game every Saturday now, it took an amazing person to do that. pokie you are one of the best!

Isn't Rocktober where bad radio stations have crapy countdowns of cheesy metal songs? Why would CUF be pumped up about that?

The controversy created by that song, and its playing at BYU games, has rent the very fabric of you people's society. Unfortunately, ever since I was a wee bairn I've been cursed with the ability to sense disturbances in Mormondom, so there's no way I could not know that song.


Plus my daughter was singing it the other day when I picked her up from pre-school. I gotta get her out of that pinko italian school.

Wyoming, and to a lesser extent The Oregon State University, are like a fungal infection. Once they get under your toenails there's no shaking them without some very expensive pills.

And you're right about rocktober. We're talking about ROCKTOBER, there's a difference.

You say that as if those are two separate places.

I think you must have read that too fast and assumed I was not paraphrasing but rather quoting verbatim ("You all can go to hell, I'm going to Texas." Davey Crockett to the citizens of Tennessee after they voted him out of Congress.)

[TripletDaddy]

I thought you were paraphrasing Brigham Young when he told Abraham Smoot that he could either go to Provo or go to Hell (or, allegedly, to Texas).

No, I just didn't know there was a difference between Laramie and hell.

Welcome. I am glad to have you here.

Texas, Laramie, Hell...they all have their similarities but Laramie stinks the worst...and I am referring to the actual smell.
