The Great Justin Nelson Spoon Drive 2013!
12 years ago
Glad You Could Stop By! Please, Come on in and Soak Up The Greatness!
Whew.
I finally have a few minutes to sit down and pop on this site to see what I've been missing since July. I figured, what the hey...I'm in Talkeetna for a little bit, have some Wi-Fi hookup and dying to get my paws all up in the Snuffala-guts of my new iPhone 5s (and no I didn't get the gold one...why get gold when it's just going to be covered up by my sweet MLP case?)and since I knew my journal was going to be about ten pages long with news and such, I decided to break them up and start posting as I had time.
And with no children or dogs or anything else striving for my attention, being safely tucked away waiting for me back in Glennallen, now is a good time as always.
I never realized having twins could eat up so much of your time! I look at the calendar on my sweet iPhone 5s and I can't believe its October already! It's obvious that children are not like dogs, where you can just feed them and leave them in the back forty to explore and play. Sheesh!
So August was spent working. All the time. Working and rearing twins. September was vacation time! We took the brood home to Pennsylvania for two weeks so my parents quit calling me nonstop asking to see their grandchildren. (There will be other journals on that coming up) Then we got back home and right into the routine again. Hopefully once they reach one year of age I can slow down a little. Until then...*rolls eyes*
So anyhows, this vacation was different because good friend and avid spoon collector Justin Nelson came along, seeing as he is pretty much part of the family and his real family were kidnapped by cannibals somewhere in the desert outside of Needles, California. Its a long story involving missing arms and the quest for tasty cactus juice.
And as you may recall, back in July I broke the story of the twenty-teens when I discovered that Mr. Nelson collected spoons. Well now this has been a never-ending fascination with me, so during our trip to Pennsy I made sure to purchase spoons from all the places we visited. The Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. Kennywood. Hershey Park. Philadelphia. Erie. Even some novelty spoons from the airport. Nicole and I even purchased him a handsome Amish-made spoon display rack while in Lancaster! This beautiful rack is made out of durable oak and stained with ever-lasting protection. It will hold upwards of fifty spoons comfortable and can be mounted on any wall.
Well of course Justin kept refusing to accept our gifts, claiming that he was tired of collecting spoons and it was something he was no longer going to do because we kept goofing on him about it. Now I, being of sound mind, deduced that it was because he needed more spoons that he felt his collection was inferior and not worthy of such a beautiful display case.
So that is why I am launching The Great Justin Nelson Spoon Drive 2013!
Together, we can get Justin the spoons he needs and craves to fill up his apartment and his display cases. We need spoons from all over...from Applebees to Apple Barn! From England to New England! Sports, movies, cartoons, cereal characters, if it's on a spoon and you have no desire to keep it...or you want to make a young man in his mid-twenties the new czar of spoon collecting, then join our cause!
Don't be afraid to send your unwanted spoons to the following:
The Great Justin Nelson Spoon Drive 2013
C/O Copper Valley Air/Gulkana Airport
PO Box 234
Glennallen AK 99588
We decided to send them to the airport because Justin didn't want to give out his home address and last time I gave out mine, like a hundred of you showed up and wanted to spend the night and I just can't read that many bedtime stories in one night!
Besides, Justin will be the one unloading all mail deliveries and I know his eyes will light up at the sight of all those spoons! So act today and help our cause...Justin is counting on you!
Well, that's the journal for today. I must get back to work, but no worries...I have more journals as well as writings (something that I barely had time for as well) and photos and other trinkets to post this week...probably this weekend if I'm not too exhausted. But don't worry about me. Worry about the dying hobby of spoon collecting. Look in your heart and your soup bowls and do what's right.
Spoons around the world thank you.
Until next time!

Good to hear from you, man.
I mean...it's spoons! When at any other time have spoons garnered such attention??
And its good to hear from you as well. I was keeping up on the news of everyone as best I could...but with working, taking care of the twins, and trying to sleep...I just lost track of everything. Each day blended into the next...so I'm hoping to get back to a normal routine.
I'll have to look back through your journals and see how you made out. I remember reading you got settled into Nebraska alright...so I'll have to read up from there!

stay in touch!
I'm on the spoon thing.
V.
I should be court-marshaled!
Trust me..i hate being away as much as anyone...stupid life keeps rearing her ugly head and demanding I give her sacrifice! Oh why my the gods torture me!
*starts putting on his ritualistic make-up and his worship beads*
The good thing is...I will be back on a lot more now.
The bad thing is every single one of my journals will be about spoons...
~Adrik
Also glad to hear from you again! Be sure you check out my gallery/library to see what I've added since you've been overrun good sir :)
Good God! That is perfect!
Between playing Soundgarden's Spoonman...the black t-shirt that says 'Spooner' across the front, and now this...I am going to bury my friend in Spoon-rific references! lol
Watching that made me realize I should have paid more attention to The Tick when it was on the air. I forget why I never really got into it...maybe I just wasn't mature enough to handle it....*shrugs*
Maybe we'll get lucky and The Hub will add it to its lineup...with Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs! My DVR will never get any rest! We can only hope...
