Nice Email Of The Week
Hey there Todd,
I’m the cool-looking bald dude who recognized you at Valleyfair last summer (bright shining moment of the year if I recall). My wife was all freaked that if it wasn’t you, she said I’d really be offending someone by calling them “Short-arm guy” if they didn’t know about the website.
Anyways, I just watched the clip of Round 1 at ACME, very nicely done! I’m curious when round 2 is. We’d love to be there in your corner, you gotta throw that stuff up on the site. If you want the crippled coalition out in full force you need to let us know. My crippleness isn’t to your degree I know,(folically challenged here, but God gave me the same deal) but do it for all of us!
Let me know if you get a sec.

Hey, Derick!
Thanks for the support!!
I guess it’s not official yet that I’m in round 2. They send the top 25 scores to the next round out of the 125-150 contestants they had. The lady at ACME told me I had a pretty high score (79 out of 90) but nothing will be official for at least a couple more weeks.
I’ll send an email out and put the date on my website once I know for sure…
I’ve added you to my email list now, so you’ll be hearing from me…
It’s funny you say that about the possible mis-identification of Shortarmguy in public. This just happened to some guy who emailed me the following recently. I thought it was funny as hell!!! Here’s his email:
I TOO WAS BORN WITH A RARE BIRTH DEFECT CALLER RADIAL CLUB HAND.
I WENT TO AN ANTIQUE CAR SHOW TODAY AND SOME ASSHOLE SAYS TO
ME ” HEY- ARE YOU THE SHORT ARM GUY ? “
I LOOKED AT HIM (KIND OF PISSED OFF) AND SAID EXCUSE ME –
HE COMES BACK WITH ” ARE YOU THE GUY ON THE INTERNET WHO HAS
THE SITE ” SHORTARMGUY.COM “
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT – AND HE TELLS ME ABOUT
YOU AND THAT MY HANDS WERE LIKE YOURS, AND HE THOT I LOOKED
LIKE YOU ALSO.
WE GOTTA TALK !
PLS DROP ME A LINE –
THNKS
KEN B
Take it easy!!!
Nice Email Of The Week 2
This just came in. I always get so excited when I get an email from one of our brave men and women in the military serving overseas. So I just had to add it to this week’s update!
Subject of the email: POT Club
ok… so not what you expected. Just read your site here at my office at
Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. Yes, I am in the Army. I am from Mississippi and I
am a Parent of Twins. ok this is where POT comes from.
story of POT.
Well one day I was watching TV and heard about the Twins Fest in Twinsburg
Ohio. So I took my red-headed twins to it. That was in 2000. We loved it.
As I was sitting checking out the twins, (and they where some twins) I
thought up this joke.
One day I decided to get together some people together that were parents of
twins at my house to start a group of parents of twins. I had made up a
list of what I wanted to have on the flyer and took it to the print shop.
After he read it he told me the price. Well being a parent of twins I knew
that I could not afford the price he quoted me. I told him to shorten it
and we agreed on a price.
On the original list I wanted him to put as title PARENTS OF TWINS MEETING.
Basically I was going to have it at my house and had directions to my house
and that a local company had donated free sample gifts and the gifts where a
first come first serve type of deal.
Two weeks later I drove through town as the meeting was to begin at 7 and it
was 4. The streets where packed with cars everywhere… Being a fire
fighter also I never seen this many cars at one place in my town since it
almost burned down.
As I got closer I saw this young man handing out flyers…. it read:
POT MEETING
FREE SAMPLES TO FIRST TO ARRIVE
WHITE HOUSE ON NORTH STREET AND 2ND STREET
OK so it ain’t that funny… but I have gotten a few laughs from it.
Reason I actually emailed ya… have you ever considered taken your kids to
the Twinsfest in Twinsburg Ohio… The Mecca of twins. It is amazing all
the twins that show up… When we went in 2000 there was over 2700 set of
twins that registered. We also went in 2001.
You gotta take your boys there. They will have a great time.
Til then… Jerry D. Mason
