Today was fun because of the release of the .me domain names. I had meetings in College Station early this morning otherwise the Gold Rush would have started sooner. I arrived late to the domain buying party and had to call in some friends for help. For all of you big brains out there who don’t understand what I am referring to…it is pretty simple. All of the good .com web addresses have been bought and sold over and over way beyond the initial $9-30 they originally cost. With the release of the .me domain today, there is an opportunity to make a little profit by buying and selling the right domain name.
I called on Darren Poutra, Tommy Jack Thompson and Zach Padgett today to come up with their best domains relating to their industry and here is what was purchased:

Zach Padgett
implantsfor.me
hospitalsfor.me
ahealthy.me

Darren Poutra
justicefor.me
legalfor.me

Tommy Jack Thompson
makefunof.me

Blake The Snake
comeget.me
youdesignit.me (had to buy because I own all the others)

Business.com sold for $7 million and sex.com sold for $14 million. Ours won’t come close to those numbers but I think we might turn a dollar on some of these. Who do you think has the best .me domain(s)?

*Disclaimer - just when you think you are clever enough to come up with a good one, there is a 98% chance that it has already been purchased. Also, any domain with more than two words before the .me is virtually worthless.

It’s Friday and the day is winding down. My day has been going good so I thought I would ruin Shaun Paul and Zack Padge’s. I let them both know about the Home Run Derby Contest that I am throwing in Pearland tomorrow afternoon around 3:30. Since including those two is like inviting two 10 year olds to compete with Barry Bonds (during the juice era of his career), I would like to extend the invitation to any other “warning track power” has-beens out there. Here is my short list of candidates:

• Darren Poutra - you never were a home run hitter and never will be. You could join us and admire those who can.
• Tyler Bearden - after the first swing and consequential pulled hammy, you could enjoy the beer for the rest of the day.
• Billy Ford - you forgot what a baseball bat feels like. Maybe we can let you swing with a golf club and tee them up for you from 2nd base.
• Matt Schultea - we’ll just have Chachi pitch to you and everyone can take a break from shagging to count the strikeouts.
• Chad Kemp - unfortunately the derby will not be held in your backyard which should cancel out your attendance. Maybe next time she’ll let you come.
• David Hinds - remember in little league when that one hit you had all year was a home run. You showed promise for home run derby but unfortunately we don’t pay $100 bills for each home run. Btw, Lauren beat you in home run derby last week at the lake.
• Chris Benoit - take a seat meat. This isn’t Nintendo.
• Beau Hale - it’s called Home Run Derby. We’ll like for you to come pitch so we can count on as many home runs as possible.
• Brooks Richard - you have never hit a home run in your life. Nothing is going to change now.

Feel free to defend yourself in the comments section and add other candidates to HRD for tomorrow.

I really haven’t had much to say lately. So my mom used to always say when I was a kid….if you don’t have anything nice to say, then advertise on your blog:

*If any of you clowns have something funny to say about this in the comment section, be my guest. You will be the feature of my next blog post.

Just a few updates:

• Zach Padgett has staph infection and spent a few nites in the hospital this week. He is not accepting flowers but he is accepting sympathy and understanding for him being a sissy.
• Shaun “Chun Pah” Seago will not be making it in this weekend because he couldn’t get clearance. Keep him in your thoughts while he is pressure-washing his fence, cutting the grass, and the other fun things he does every weekend.
• Andie Jewel Bearden is turning 1 this weekend and throwing a rippin’ party to celebrate.
• Morgan “Mookie” Hinds now has a bump.
• It looks like this  l)
• It is getting bigger daily.
• Some would even say at a faster rate than most people.
• Brooks “Rookie” Richard is headed to Dallas this weekend to hang out with a female friend that he has never met before. Hopefully he looks like the picture he sent her, for some reason I feel like she is in for a rude awakening.

That is all for today. I will have plenty of pics after this weekend.

I am about to show you a picture that accurately describes what David “Proud Poppa” Hinds just did to a few of you regulars at BlakePoutra.com.

Here is his last comment from the previous post:

“I just entered Ledger in the 2025 X Games Wakeboarding Division. If he takes after his dad that dude is going to be unstoppable in all arenas. Parker “Squeaks” Seago if you don’t stop all that squeaking, Ledger is going to give you something to squeak about. Crusty you are just going to have to have your daughters’ line up for their turn with greatness. Uncle Peter Pudgy it sure would be nice if Ledger were introduced to you and the Wicked Witch of Pearland before you get so big nobody recognizes you. Chad “Big Fingers” Kemp if you don’t lose some weight soon your going find yourself looking forward to the tube while the rest of us continue to shred it up on the wakeboard.”

You clones just got clowned. I need some responses for redemption!

Junior Primo Hinds and Mookie Hinds found out today that they are having a boy. Contrary to popular reports, Jack Padgett is not pregnant. Chad Kemp however, may very well be. More on this when the results are in…

This past weekend we all headed down to Lauberge Du Lac to tear up the swamp. We had quite a roster in the boat on Saturday and the wake was as big as the water was dirty. The roll call goes like this:

• Off The Chain Shane
• Dirty David
• TV Tom Vickers Tara Vice
• Meese from the Concrete Jungle
• Hurricane Game
• Chun Pah Seago
• Jomanda the Bus Driver
• Lauren Lotsa Dough in the Casino
• Morgan MILF-In-Training
• Chad “Parks Bonifay” Kemp with a Limp
• Myself, The Shredder

We were at Lauberge:

Here is Chad just about jumping over the bridge:

And finally I have to post Chun Pah Seago surpassing Dirty Dave for the #3 spot in wakeboarding:

It was a good weekend but we have an even better one coming. Board meeting this Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Lake Sam Rayburn. Nike, Hurley and Quiksilver…..if you are reading this…..please quit calling me for sponsorship because I prefer to stay independent at this point. Maybe later.
