Mister mrtl may be happy to hear that Tom is no longer my #1 MySpace friend. I'm a little stunned over it myself, but when I received the email today from the North Charleston Coliseum, which is hosting the Backyardigans Live tour next month, saying that I could win FOUR FREE TICKETS for making them one of my top three friends, I knew what I had to do.
Tom is now #2. Mister mrtl is #3.
So what if I already have tickets to take Bug next month? The more the merrier, for sure!
Tom, don't worry, hoss. If I don't win, I'm fixin' to put you right back in your spot. (Note the local linguistics I've picked up. I heard "I'm fixin'" today at an appointment and adopted it right away. I'm fixin' to use it all the time.)

Um...I have no idea what you are talking about. But YAY!

You crack me up. I've been a Hillbillian my whole life, and even I have never adopted "fixin' to." (Purists would say "a-fixin'-ta." But in your honor, I'm a-fixin' ta wish you a blessed day. :)

I've been living in Alaska (this time) for over 5 years now and I still use "I'm fixin' to..."
