backyard. AND WE WANT HIM OUT! Please help us by bidding on
this auction! Every bid moves him one step farther out
of our yard!
Original Window Art By Cody
About my brother-in-law, he may
be a little "touched in the head." He just showed up
a few weeks ago (unannounced of course) from
California and parked his Hippie Bus in our
yard. Apparently, he was fleeing from some sort of
alien or supernatural invasion or something like that. (If you
win, he'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to explain that one to
you.) Anyway, his bus really stands out up here in
the Ozarks of NW Arkansas (not too many hippies around here),
and the neighbors have started to "talk".
It really didn't help matters
much when, 2 weeks ago, we got a call from an elderly lady
that lives down the road from us. She was out of breath and
could barely get out the words: "I just saw Cody runnin' down
the road "nekkid" as a jaybird! You best git your husband down
here to fetch him or else I'm callin' the law!" Well, she
did call the "law" and now he needs money for his newest court
date.
Oh yes, he has other "court
dates" and if you schedule your vacation at just the right
time, I'm sure he'd be happy to include one on the
itinerary. And about the itinerary... he says he'll go
wherever "the voices" tell him to go... So, your guess is
as good as mine!
The trip could last at the least,
a few days and at the most, a lifetime. It all depends on how
long you want to live in a Hippie Bus with a crazy guy!
Serious bidders only please. This
auction is for an actual trip in a hippie bus to somewhere in
America, to where exactly is a mystery. If you have a specific
place in mind, e-mail me and I'll run it by Cody and see if he
is willing to go there. Bidders that cannot be contacted will
have their bids cancelled. Your bid is a legal and binding
contract.
Peace be with you my brothers and sisters

What a Response!
I had no idea that so many people
would be willing to take my brother-in-law off my
hands!
Cody has asked me to add
quite a few things to this auction
listing.
Among the list:
- If you are looking to lose
weight, this is the trip for you! Just look at Cody! The
Cody Diet is guaranteed to work! (He believes that you can
live off of pine trees and water only.) Also, pushing the
bus is great exercise!
- If you are interested in UFOs
or aliens, this would also be the trip for you! Cody has
extensive experience with communicating with aliens. In
fact, he will help you to reach them! (You must supply your
own foil hat and satellite dish.)
- Cody will not pick up
hitchhikers unless he receives approval "from above" (his
words).
- Interested in a Hippie Convoy?
Anyone that wants to follow along behind Cody's bus is
welcome.
- Cody built his bus with his
own six hands. (His other two personalities helped
out.)
- Be advised that Cody does like
to "hang out with his wang out." Not exactly sure what that
means, but it doesn't sound good to
me.
Cody spent most of the day
working on his new hang-glider! Oh boy! I will post pics tomorrow. PLEASE get him out of here!

The
Accident
I believe I mentioned
that my brother-in-law might be a little "touched in the
head". Maybe it runs in the family. My husband went with Cody
today to take pictures of his "maiden flight" on his home-made
hang-glider. Cody was quite confident in his design. So
confident in fact, that he lept from a 30 ft cliff. And my
dear hubby, his "sane" brother, captured it on film for you
all to see!
He is a little bruised
up, but luckily his head broke his fall. Apparently, the knock
on the head caused an out-of-body experience, in which he met
with the "leader guy". In Cody's words: "He told me to build a
rocket ship! And come home!" (Too bad the X-Prize has already
been won.) If he survives, we should have pics of his "Rocket
Ship Adventure" tomorrow.

The Rocket
Trip!!!
OH MY GOD! Cody had said he was about to blast off.I
guess I knew he would give it a try, but I never expected
this. In Cody's words: "When the leader guy says come home,
you gotta go." GET HIM OUT OF HERE
PLEASE!
Uh not exactly X-Prize
material.

information:
Okay....I
am AMAZED. People actually want to
hang out with my crazy brother-in-law! Who would have
thought?
Since, Cody often has problems on
road trips or even just driving down the road (or
running
down it in the buff whichever the case may be), I decided that
I should probably lay out some terms of purchase here, just to
protect myself and anyone
bidding.
On the road, Cody and/or his bus
often:
- Get lost
- Run out of
gas
- Require bail
money
- Experience mechanical
problems
- Have their tires
stolen
- Meet "Ms. Right"
- Meet "Ms. Right's" Husband's
Fist
- Are abducted by
aliens
- Insert any unbelievable
incident "here"
Therefore, to ensure that you are
picked up by the "Hippie Bus" on time and without a police
"escort", a high bidder that does not live near us, will
receive a bus ticket for themselves and a companion to
Fayetteville, Arkansas. Upon arrival, they will be picked up
by Cody in his Hippie Bus and the trip will begin from there.
If you live in NW Arkansas, he will drive to your location and
pick you up. If you have any special requests regarding the
trip, please contact us before bidding.

information:
Cody has
asked me to post pics of the inside of his bus. You will not
believe the posh accomodations that
await you!
Moving in a clockwise fashion
starting on the upper left:
First,
we have the kitchen area, complete
with stovetop, soda fountain, and a lovely sink filled with
the finest of previously used dishes. As you can see, the
kitchen opens into the master bedroom. Notice how the lovely
open air design combines with the privacy and security of a
door. The door, made of the finest...wood, features a deluxe
locking mechanism on the outside. Complimenting the outer
lock, are the absolutely divine slat walls, bringing to
mind a fine Turkish pris... (Please do not compare the
bedroom to a Turkish prison, it hurts Cody's feelings, and
also, Cody says Turkish prisons are MUCH
worse.)
Second,
we have a nice view of the living
area, which features an exquisitely comfortable,
reclining couch and a separate plush recliner. Notice the
decorative murals on the ceilings, all are Cody Originals. As
you travel through the living area to other areas of the bus,
you will walk in style upon a decorative rug which covers the
rich hardwood floor. The most impressive feature of this room
is the decorative payphone, on which Cody
receives several messages a day from various leaders of
foreign countries. (Do not let the fact that is not
plugged in fool you. It is actually powered by mysterious
forces.)
Third, the master bedroom....featuring a deluxe queen
sized bed with distressed comforter. This room features a
working color television set and a radio. Pay close attention
to the location of the Emergency Exit...you may be required to
use it, if you happen to "accidentally" become locked in the
Turkish pris...I mean bedroom.
And last but not
least, the indoor
outhouse....I mean the master bathroom. Cody has advised that
the winner of this auction will be allowed to clean the toilet
for him, if they so desire.
(Note: The living area has one of
two color television sets, a dvd player, and a radio with
surround sound. They are not pictured, but they are there.
Cody says that it sounds like a concert hall in the bus when
he plays "his tunes")
Cody said earlier that he
needed to go out and "stock up" for the trip. He is out
setting up snares in the woods behind our house. I'll post
pics of his "trophies" tomorrow.
On
Sep-15-05 at 10:05:12 PDT, seller added the following
information:
We made
the local news! I couldn't believe it when the news guy
showed up to interview Cody!
Cody thinks he is a celebrity
now.
Cody said that the
"leader guy" came to visit him last night, and that he is not
happy. Apparently, "he" wants to be part of the auction too.
My husband has "orders" to go and take pictures of him
tonight. Oh boy! I can't wait to post pics of Cody's imaginary
friend!
Cody is out checking
his snares right now. Actually, he has been gone for a while.
I should probably send my husband out to check on
him.

The
Snare
Cody didn't have any luck with
the snares. He has decided to go fishing instead. There has
been some talk of building a submarine....

The Leader
Guy
My husband had his orders, so he
went out to take pictures of the leader guy last night. Cody
consulted with his pal for over an hour, and it seems that
"the answer to the mystery of the
destination may lie at the bottom of a lake." So,
my dear brother-in-law plans to use his latest creation -
a SUBMARINE - tomorrow...(What can I
say? If Cody was any dumber, he'd need a
helmet.) If Cody survives, I'll be posting pics
tomorrow.
After listening to Cody's
one-sided conversation with his imaginary friend, and
snapping several pictures of what he thought was thin
air, my sweet husband returned with the following
image:
Could this be the Leader Guy? Or a pathetic
attempt at more publicity?
Cody is currently
going through all of his marriage proposals. He plans to make
a decision soon, so if you haven't already sent yours in, time
is running out! Don't miss out on this one girls! Cody's "Love
Bus" would look mighty fine in your
backyard!

The Missing
Submarine
We awoke this morning to find
Cody very upset about the disappearance of his latest
invention. After consulting with the Leader
Guy, Cody went down to confront the local Dragon Crest group for "stealing" his
submarine (their trash barrel). After being hog-tied and taken
to their camp, he was severely beaten by what appeared to be a
group of warriors, elves, and a large monkey. Luckily, he was
saved by a woman with the power of healing.
Cody was unable to recover his submarine. He is
awaiting an incoming message from the Leader Guy.
Unfortunately, after this encounter, Cody's foil hat is now
missing. Cody says that if anyone picks up a signal, please
let him know...

The
Finale
Cody decided that the ultimate
stunt would be to jump the Grand Canyon with his bus. In fact,
Cody has said that the winning bidder should bring along a
helmet and a parachute, just in case.
After much persuasion by my
husband, it was decided that Cody should practice with my
son's go-kart. He planned to jump my car with the go-kart, but
I flat out refused...so he opted instead to jump an old junker
car that we have. Thank goodness he didn't use my
car...
Idiot.

We have come to the end of
the auction with only about 13 hours to go. It is 11:11am CST.
It has been quite a wild ride. I want to thank everyone for
making this auction so popular. Thanks to all of you, my
brother-in-law will be leaving my yard in no time at all!
YAY! I cannot believe that so many
people are willing to take a trip with this nut! And thanks to
the high bids, he hopefully (fingers crossed!) will be gone
for quite a while!
We have met many
interesting people since this auction began. From people that
"felt my pain" to those that "received messages" to send to
Cody, we wish you the best of luck and God Bless You All!
I know that Cody is going
to give the winning bidder a trip of a
lifetime!
P.S. Cody says Merry
Christmas!
