AMERICAN CHOPPER

My Mum has just finished reading a book called:

"Orange County Choppers - The Tale of the Teutuls"

(Paul Teutul Sr, Paul M. Teutul, and Michael Teutul with Keith and Kent Zimmerman).

In the year 2003, Lady Luck reached out to a hard-living, hard-working family in a small town in Orange County, New York. That was when a team from the Discovery Channel began filming the custom chopper shop of Paul "Senior" Teutul, his son Paulie, and the rest of their highly dysfunctional, totally authentic crew as they did what they do best: make great custom-crafted bikes for the ground up. Within a few episodes, the Teutuls were famous: for their hilarious head-butting, their outrageous yelling, their amazing designs, and, most of all, for being real every step of the way. With their hit show "American Chopper" turning into the Discovery Channel's top-rated program, the Teutuls became unlikely national icons.

Now the Teutuls tell their story as it has never been told before. Senior chronicles his harrowing journey from a hell-raising teen to a star-crossed businessman desperately trying to keep his demons at bay. And Paulie remembers working by his father's side in their ironworks shop-and the bond that developed between them when they first built an EVO-powered custom chopper from scratch.

From youngest son Mikey's entrance into the shop to all the other members of the extended OCC family, this is a chronicle of Panheads and Softails turned into gleaming works of art, of Old School design versus Paulie's amazing theme bikes that took custom biking by storm-and earned the Teutuls some of the most famous clients in the world.

With over 60 family archive photos that capture this true rags-to-riches saga, ORANGE COUNTY CHOPPERS is the raw, honest story of a family that was born to be wild, how they came together around a shared passion and skill-and how they captured the heart of American.

PAUL TETUL SR., PAUL M. TEUTUL, AND MICHAEL TEUTUL all live in and around Montgomery, New York, where they operate their famed Orange Country Choppers Shop.

If you can get a hold of a copy of this book or even want to buy it, go right ahead as Mum would recommend this book to anyone, and "AMERICAN CHOPPER" is on the Discovery Channel most nights at 7.30pm, thats if you have Foxtel.

"THE PRODUCERS"

Hey there,

Mum and some of her work colleagues went to see the Mel Brooks classic "THE PRODUCERS", this is being put on at the moment at the Newcastle Civic Theatre by the Metropolitan Players, What a great show she was telling us this morning, here is a little bit about the play:

Mel Brooks' The Producers
Presented by: Metropolitan Players
INSPIRATIONS 2008
In 2008 Metropolitan Players will be presenting the hilarious Mel Brook’s musical The Producers at the Civic Theatre. This Tony Award-Winning Broadway musical comedy is a wildly good time - prepare yourself for a barrel of laughs.
A down on his luck producer and his accountant devise a get-rich-quick scheme. If they raise more money than is needed to open a play, then make sure that play is a guaranteed flop, they will make more money than if the play was a hit. When they discover what they perceive to be the worst script ever, they are certain they have the disaster they need for their plan to work. The plan is faultless... but then, there’s no accounting for taste.

If you get a chance while it is town go and see it, it was brilliant.

And believe it or not Mum didn't get home till 11.55pm, WOW thats a late late night for my Mum for a weeknight considering she goes to bed at 8.30pm........

Does anyone recognise the lady in the middle of the couch, that is Melinda Smith ( who happens to be a Newsreader for NBN television)...Boy was she good...............................................................

Another update coming soon....Love KOSMO.....................................xoxoxoxo.................................

IT'S OFFICIAL

Well I have to say "IT"S OFFICIAL", Beaver and I are spoilt, thanks to our Mum & Dad, Mum received an email yesterday from her friend "Catherine" whom she catches the train home from work with, and it said:,

"IT'S OFFICIAL", Kosmo and Beaver are spoilt, because every time Mum sends her a picture of me or Beaver we are either laying around or smiling, and have the run of the house, because all of the pics are taken inside the house....Well Catherine you are right, we are spoilt and our parents love us very much.......I think Jodi might even agree with this one, or even anyone that knows my Mum........

Just to prove we are spoilt take a look at the latest pics...........and leave us a comment and tell us what you think.........................................................

Clever Kitty Kat

Mum was taking pics of us as you can see by my photo of me laying around on a Sunday afternoon, well she was trying to get Beaver to pose when he closed his eyes right before Mum took the photo, take a look.

Love

It's Been A While

Hi There everyone,

I know its been a while since I posted and lots has happened. First of all my dad brought my Mum and Video Camera, well I don't know whether I am happy about that, as Mum has been chasing us around the house inside and out videoing what we do, when we play fight etc. Maybe when she works out how to get it from the camera to the computer we will be able to show you all a video or too... As you know the weather has been a bit yukky here for a few days last week, i love when it rains because I sleep out in the rain...It must be in my breed....

Well about 4.50am on Saturday morning after a rough night not sleeping really well, because of the wind and rain my mum and dad were woken up with a big crash and bang, the old sydney tv antenna had come crashing down on top of the roof, all the guide wires had snapped as well as the mast in that horrible wind...

Mum has been spending lots of mnoey lately, she brought a new wall unit for her dining room, and let me tell you it looks smick.....a nice nutmeg colour, with nice glass doors on the top part, she has also brought a new mobile phone, and guess who is on the screen as a wallpaper, none other than me (of course I am a star), and also something else mum brought was a PS2 (Playstation 2), well she loves playing that especially "Sonic The Hedgehog"....

Last week Beaver sent his carer that looked after him at the Kempsey RSPCA, her name is Carol, she is a very caring and lovely lady, a lovely photo of him in a frame for her to keep of him, (what a nice thought, Beaver), she can now remember him always, as he was a very special Kitten and cared for by Carol since he was 2 weeks old, he is now almost 7mths old and a cheeky little fellow.

Well I suppose I better go now, Till next time........KOSMO......xoxoxoxo
