Um, even newer sites to see?

I’ve been pretty insanely busy with work and so have been trying to delegate jobs to other people. It’s starting to work out quite nicely - Jake and Amber have begun handling all of the shows at the house, and finally, after years of resistance, my friends are making their own little spaces here at Boont Dusties.com.

In case you haven’t noticed, each of the new websites are based off of words taken from Boontling. Read this for more information about the origins of harpin’ boont (speaking boonville lingo) and what we’re all doing here.

1. Inkstand : Phil does reviews of things. Inkstand translates to : “Hemorrhoids. In a Boonter anecdote, a local worker is said to have been observed trying to observe his anus in a mirror after a few days of strenous physical labor. He explained his actions matter-of-factly by saying he wanted to see how many “ink stands” he had on his ose. He appears to have been referring to protruding hemorroids.” It is also “..an allusion to the flared mouth of early day ink stands (bottle)” and can be taken to mean “… exhausted. Very tired. When one is exhausted from hard work, his anus is said to protrude like such a bottle neck. ”

2. Charlie-Walker : My mom writes about her job as a bug trapper, gives advice, and will post her pictures of us while our tribe went to highschool. Charlie Walker means “A photograph; a snapshot. [ A county photographer named Charlie Walker was a much sought-after early-day artist]”

3. Big Sorry Jake is going to do a photo blog as soon as he stops shooting smack. Big Sorry means “A Boonter who felt sorry for himself and often expressed his melancholy publicly”.

NEW!

4. Gray Matter Kimmie : Josh has already started (Eat shit Jake!). He plans on posting his comic series “Vinny The Ninja” and acting as a resident brain. Gray Matter Kimmie means “A scholar; a colllage professor”. This is kind of eery cause I remember back in highschool Josh Rhodes declared himself a “Rhodes Scholar” and would give you a degree in things like “gun repair” for a measly buck or two. He would even give you a certificate if I remember right.

5. Wessup Tweed : Amber is my girlfriend. According to her blog, she says “You will possibly see photography series, musical musings, amateur film snippets, magical discussions about the realm of the unknown, a “found goods” museum of sorts, what I made for dinner last night, maybe projects about American culture, and anything else that might be worth preserving and sharing. Oh, and you’ll probably see lots of hands.” Wessup Tweed means : “A flower child”.

6. Beejay : I’m bugging Landon day in and day out to start a blog cause I think it’s going to be hilarious. I have given him an ultimatum, and if he doesn’t start writing I am going to just write on it pretending to be him and baring my disguised-as-Landon soul. Beejay means : ” To repeat oneself; to repeat a phrase or last part of a phrase almost imperceptibly ‘under one’s breath’.

7. Applehead : Jake’s first girlfriend, Rachel, is one of the most “interesting” people I know. I can’t wait to see what she’ll write about - probably something concerning all the odd jobs she takes, being seduced by the actual prince of darkness himself, and/or sex. Applehead means : “A girl, esp one’s girl friend. [This is rooted in an incident in which someone used the term derisively to refer to a Boonter's girl friend who allegedly had a noticeably small head.]”

There is also now a blog on the main page — http://www.boontdusties.com – which I am trying to set up as the main portal. From that spot you will be able to access all of the new blogs and hopefully immediately be able to tell when someone has updated (that way you won’t have to bookmark and click on each and everyone).

I’ve changed the name of this blog from “Boont Dustie” to “Wood Dog” which means “A gun shy dog. [Reference to the fact that such a dog flees into the 'woods' at the first rifle report.] Boonters had no use for such dogs, so they abandoned or destroyed them.” I think that fits well with my extreme paranoia.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I am going to sit down now and edit the wedding of Josh and Bethany last weekend. And in a week Amber and I are going to be traveling to Georgia and across the country, so check out her blog for updates on that.

Peace out homies.
