Angled

Quick, before they can change their website, everybody click here and read the first headline. Since you're all probably too damn lazy to follow a simple link, I'm posting a screenshot here from westernslopeanglers.com.

First of all, I don't know where these dudes get off calling me Cochise, but I do appreciate the pat on the back. I'm gunning for first next time!

It's not that weird to read about another Cody Powell. It's a kinda common first name + kinda common last name, and for some reason, the world is lousy with us. From my researching, I've found a motorcycle racer, a rodeo dude, a journalist, a power lifter, and a hocky player. In fact, the last time I was at Bank of America, I learned there's even another Cody W. Powell in Texas. (Question to the impostor: is there an M after the W? If not, I win.)

In addition to the fact that there are other Cody Powells, Cody and Powell are adjacent towns in Wyoming. I know this because every time I've ever met someone from Wyoming, they've told me this. (Question to other Cody Powells, including the impostor: common occurrence, or does it only happen to me?)

There are people named Cody Powell, there's a place named Cody/Powell, and I can only expect there's a lot more to come. In the near future, I want to my name on a fish, a car, a dune buggy (separate from the car), a space shuttle, a racquetball court, a canned ham company, a cartoon character, a pair of old lady sneakers, and a sword. Eventually, Cody Powell should stop referring to actual objects, and just become a concept. I don't know what the concept will refer to, but when my fellow CPs, including the motorcycle racer, the rodeo dude, the journalist, and the power lifter, meet up in Wyoming, I suggest we discuss.
