"It's been one heck of a Party"

I've had a truly wonderful time here on the hub pages, and I've made some terrific friends from all over the world. But in the spirit of carrying on with the tradition of the grand finale in the company of such great comedy stories as "Seinfeld" & "Home Improvement", it's now time for Stinky & the gang to make their exit as well and say goodbye.

This wasn't my decision by any means. Without any advance notice or legitimate reason I discovered in the late hours of November 30th 2011 that "The Small Bang Theory" suddenly out of the blue became unpublished by the hub pages. I worked with my buddy Simone Smith of the hub pages in an attempt to get this story published once again, however after trying for over 3 weeks we were both unsuccessful. So I've been left with the very difficult decision of having a final curtain call for "The Small Bang Theory", and bringing it to it's inevitable conclusion. It's painful to see it all end like this, but I'm beginning to feel that maybe it's for the best instead of just fading away as others have. It's always best to go out with a bang anyway, as Stinky always has in this story.

What began 16 months ago in August of 2010 as a short story for my coworkers at the widget factory, has evolved into quite a legacy on the internet. "The Small Bang Theory" had numerous tweets & Google plus 1's as well as 562 Facebook "Likes" since the hub pages reset all of it's counts. At it's conclusion there were 28 chapters with 40 photographs totaling 28,127 words.

The story itself was never intended or meant to go on this long, but all of you great people kept asking for more, so I was happy to oblige. I want to thank every single one of my 4,200+ followers who all stayed with me to the end. All of your 614 comments, tons of fan mail, and support have meant so much to me. I can never thank each and everyone of you enough. The greatest moment was the Hubbie Award for the "funniest hub" which you all so graciously voted and gave me, which no one can ever take away from "The Small Bang Theory". Thank you all so very much for this honor!

Before I leave you all I would like to update you all on Stinky & the gang. Little Henry retired from the widget factory with 34 years of service on Halloween. He rented a stand at the flea market, but shut it down after he didn't sell a single solitary thing. He's now currently constructing, what he thinks will be the world's largest ball of twine. Good luck Henry. Sparky has been training for a new job at the widget factory. The thing is Sparky has been training now for a good six months. If you ask sparky why it's taking so long to train, he just simply answers that if you start questioning everything, then it'll all fall apart. Stinky says that Sparky is like an astronaut who never goes into space. He trains and trains but they never let him put on the astronaut suit. Stevie is eating every single day at a local restaurant and has been working on eating all 55 different flavors of their buffalo hot wings. Stevie said some of those wings were so hot that he almost drank the well dry, and they are on city water. He only has 10 more flavors to go, and then he'll get his photo on the wall and a tee shirt. He's very excited about it. The rest of the gang has been working on what has turned into a $10,000 deer hunting stand. It's completely insulated with a sofa, radio, and on the deck there's an outdoor grill for cooking. They write all their statistics on the walls inside, which is full of nothing but misses. Don't worry they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if they were sitting on it. Myrtle left the widget factory in search of a different job. She went to Jimmy's a local restaurant for a scheduled interview, however she was told that the man she was suppose to have the interview with didn't work there. She argued for 3 straight hours with everyone who worked in the restaurant, only to find out that she was at the wrong place. She was suppose to be at Big Jimmy's restaurant which was right across the street. Myrtle finally did get the job at Big Jimmy's, however other than a glass of water & all the air that she could breath, it didn't pay much. Stinky has found himself banned from the very same restaurant. You see Stinky didn't particularly care for the bread selection, so he took it upon himself to bring his own loaf of bread into the restaurant. Out in front of the restaurant there's a big sign posted which clearly states "No Outside Food". Stinky of all things tried to disguise his loaf of bread inside of an over sized McDonald's bag, however the bag is what really tipped the restaurant staff off. An argument then ensued, and to make a long story short, Stinky was asked to please never ever return. Stinky of coarse is always going to be Stinky, never leaving us without a dull moment at the old widget factory. The stories will continue on, but just no longer here on the hub pages.

I also want to tell you about the name "Five One Cows". I do love all animals, however I'm not a cow fanatic. The name actually came from my 3 year old grandson. We were sitting on the sofa one day watching television, and he looked over at me and said "Five One Cows", and I thought to myself why not. And what better of a place for a cow to come from than Moo-Town, after all doesn't chocolate milk come from chocolate cows. Only the imagination of a small child could come up with a great name like this, and so this is how my name on the hub pages was born. I want to thank you all so much for bringing "The small Bang Theory" into your homes (via the internet) and it's really amazing how a little story like this has brought so many people together in this world. This was a lot of fun, and I have really enjoyed doing this very much. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Thanks Again !!!
