HAPPY HALLOWEEN

All Hallows Eve - Minus 1

All Hallows Eve - Minus 2

Flashback Friday - You Tube Hits Pt 4

This is the number one, with 2401 hits as of today.  We were at the beach and this guy just strolled along like he was heading to church.  Now, we win the Midwest tend to look askance at public nudity, Hell, some even look askance at private nudity, too.  But down here I guess anything goes.  Some can debate the appropriateness of this lack of modesty, but you have to hand to someone who slips on his cowbiy hat, thiongs and slippers and walks along a public beach liek it the most natural thing in the world.  I applaud the guy. Now go get some clothes on. 2,650 And some viewer comments: I think there needs to be equality. Today we've got women showing their butts all over the place, no one (or I guess 99%) don't think anything of it, but a guy does it, he's a "pervert", or "gay", etc. pika62221   2 weeks ago Great and cool guy!!!! mariskasukram   6 months ago Reply i live in va beach we see this kinda stuff

Inane Inanities

1.  Went to the dentist a couple weeks ago ago and I heard right across the hallway a conversation that wet on between one of the dentists and an elderly couple.  She told him she had not been to see a dentist since 1974.  She was simply too scared, and so let it go.  And now, her teeth are in such poor condition her eating is being affected.  Her husband asked good questions, and of course told them not to inflict any pain on her during the examination.  When the dentist said she was looking at extensive work requiring a massive amount of time and money, you could sense him deflate, especially when she was told that most work would amount to $1000 per tooth.  They are in for a rough time, I'm afraid.  By the way, I got a tooth pulled and now Norah and I share the same amount of teeth. 2.  While standing in line at the post office I heard an interesting language being spoken right behind me and I asked them what it was.  She asked me what it sounded like to me, and I said, "

The Great Bike Trip of 2013

I hear tell there may be a bike ride up North in the Spring/Summer.  Preparation is everything.  Again, now everyone, repeat after me:  preparation is everything.  In preparing for this ride many facets must be dealt with in order to succeed.  There are clothing issues, route determination, places to avoid, and physical training to endure a long trip. In 2004 I took 4 trips in the summer, two of which were major distances, for a total of approximately 7,000 miles in the saddle.  It was a summer for the ages.  Hopefully I will be able to learn from those trips to properly steel myself for the Great Bike Trip of 2013. First order of business is to check out the equipment.  I'll make sure the Yammie is ready to go by taking it to the shop shortly before take-off.  I'll work on my butt callouses and perhaps stock up on Monkey Butt to insure maximum comfort.  There will be no need for a tent this time, as I learned that there is not enough savings to justify roughing it.   I sle

I Need An Intervention

Now, before you read today's post, go to Existing in BFE for August 30st of last year.  I'll wait. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Are you back already?  Did you cheat?  Don't you know I can go back to August 30th of last year and see the spike in my visitor section on Blogger?  If you did cheat, now go to the post last year and I'll wait again.  Jeez. . . . . Alright, then.  Sorry to be a nag about it.  Ah, don't worry.  I went into an antique store close to downtown last year and spied this great looking lamp.   It was next to the cash register and I couldn't keep my eyes off it.  A cool looking retro something that was just off-kilter enough to catch my eye and compel me to want it in the worst way.  But how do I get past that lofty price?  No way I'm shelling out that much for this neatest of all lighted objects.   So I waited and waited.  They wo

Mugshot Monday

No, son, you ain't gonna have a roommie.  You're gonna have 5. I am High Priest Ramses the XX, and have been brutally detained by the St. Petersburg police force.  Let My People Go!  Shouldn't be puttin' your... ... nose where it doesn't belong. Listed name is Amber Bamber. Stiff upper lip and all that rot...jolly good show, what? Not all is fun and games on Mugshot Monday.  This young man jumped off the Skyway Bridge 2 days after this mugshot was taken.  His body was recovered 2 days later.  Behind the laughs and the captions, and the funny looking mugshots, let's remember that there is a tremendous amount of pain going on with these people.  It is, I think, a reason why I may have to give this feature up soon.   Yes, Indeed.  God Only Knows 81 year old failed to tell the authorities that he was a sex offender when he moved.  Yes, Delbert, catch your breath, we do have communal showers here.
