Lil Brother Hooker and I have been pals ever since we were small fries, even though, if given half a chance, he will regale you with horror stories of the atrocities I visited upon him in our collective youth.
Next time you see him, ask him about his first broken nose. It involves me, a station wagon and The Collected Works of Mark Twain in hardback.
This is on Thanksgiving night. We may have been drinking. You be the judge.

"I told you to leave your sister alone!" DW circa 197?
Happy Birtday Hooker!! Yes I Am!!!
Willard Scott wishes Ish Kabibble a happy 100th birthday.
And a happy birthday to the Hooker -- although we've never met, I hope to someday.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I just froze my arse off watching rugby in 40 degree torrential rainstorm, out to eat supper and then to sea how much beer the human body can digest.
not mentioned on the birthday list: robert palmer, "the million dollar man" ted dibiase, svetlana khorkina (russian gymnast; why couldn't it be irina slutskaya?), and miss paula deen,
