It’s five o’clock somewhere, but before that…
That’s right, buckerooos, it’s high-by-God NOON!
Marshall Will Kane knew the value of being able to see a person you respect when you look in the mirror.. All else follows. Thanks for looking.
Good: Screaming goats
Taylor Swift likes them. I can think of at least one person in a similar position who would most likely not.
Also good: Fainting goats
Also also good, Talking Huskies
Okay, maybe talking Husky. Or, it may not make any difference.
And one cat to rule them all…
And now, not good.
Chihuhuas. Fuckin’ hate ’em.
Wolverines: Furry but not cuddly. Will kill and eat a Chihuhua, so they’re not all bad.
These wolverines are great
The Cassowary: As if ugly wasn’t bad enough.
This devil turkey will kill you. On the lighter side, it will probably kill your Chihuhua, too.
There are lots of baaaaad pets out there. These are the first ones that came to mind. The rest of these posts should be interesting.
My day begins sometime in the six o’clock hour. Otto, my little orange cat, stirs at the sound of Cathy making a smoothie, and pays a visit to my head to pat my cheek with his paw and tickle my nose with his whiskers. My computer plays comedy all night, usually Steve Martin, Billy Connolly or George Carlin, so I wake up with a smile and a laugh.
Job one: Make a cup of tea, PRONTO! PG Tips with Splenda and evaporated milk and a slice of cooled off toast with a big gob of butter. Then it’s off to the living room to hang out with Cathy and scoff at the inane news reporting then, sometime in the seven o’clock hour, I’ll follow her to the door, give her a little kiss on the neck and hold one of the little ones up in the window to see her off to work. After that, it’s anyone’s guess.
Things that make me laugh:
1.) Battling cats
Peace is overrated.
2.) something else cat related:
I can never seem to get a good shot of this but I can’t get enough of watching my cats drift into the wall when they try to make a sharp left on a hardwood floor.
3.) (Dis)honorable mention:
The antics of a certain former chief executive turned Bible salesman are ridiculous but the potential outcome of these efforts is anything but funny. Yay cats.
That was easy.
Someone needs to fix those chips on the corners. We can’t have some janky, beat up monument, know what I mean?
Apologies to all the people who don’t live in my country. This mighty edifice is the Washington Monument, named for George Washington, the first president of the United States. Now that we have that out of the way, enjoy the rest of the post. Oh, that’s it? Okay, thanks for looking.
I wish I could never miss. Baseball, football, basketball, bow, rifle, field artillery, trebuchet, newspaper, whatever. Any projectile, any target. I saw a guy toss an aspirin in the air and shoot it down with a bird point arrow shot from a recurve bow. I don’t care for beer that much, but if I could do that I would probably never have to buy one again..
I wouldn’t even try to be a sniper. There’s so much more to it than shooting straight. I’m thinking I would probably join a softball team, most likely a church league. It would be interesting to see if they would still want me around after the season was over.
My wife absolutely adores this movie. In part that’s because a cute little boy with incredible hair knows the weight of a human head. The other part is that Jerry Maguire reminds her of me. If you haven’t seen this movie, watch it and see why this is such a big compliment. Thanks for looking
Definitely car. Journey>destination.
It’s hard to get some fudge from Uranus when you’re forty thousand feet off the ground.
I’ll be rummaging around in the old mental video store for this, I know. Lets get started.
Television
The Beverly Hillbillies
Jethro Bodine is a true hero. Whether he’s trying to be a fry cook, a brain surgeon or a double-naught spy, he never lets his lack of education or intelligence get between him and his dreams. His irrepressible optimism should be an example to us all, as should his fashion sense.
Ellie May Clampett has got to be the most empowered woman since Eleanor Roosevelt. When she’s not making cousin Jethro say uncle, she can be found skeet shooting with a rifle, throwing strikes at 120 MPH or hanging out at the cement pond with her beauty queen friends.
BATMAN!
Sorry Adam, I’m sure you understand. Love you on Family Guy. Julie Newmar: Making the world a sexier place for longer than I have. -wink- Now I know where Vinnie got it.
STAR TREK!
“If I see one more picture of me hooking up with some space chick, I swear to God…”
Sorry Jim. Wait a minute! Isn’t that Batgirl?
Sure as Hell is.
I knew that.
Movies
The Odd Couple-1968
You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can’t stand little notes on my pillow. “We’re all out of cornflakes. F.U.” Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!” I can’t even tell you how many times Cathy and I have watched this movie. Dozens of times at least and it never gets old.
The Producers – 1967
A longish time ago, I heard a radio interview with Mel Brooks, who said that he heard a Muzak version of “Springtime for Hitler” in an elevator at Warner Brothers. Okay, here’s where I save a lot of time, you too.
This man is an unmitigated genius. I’ve seen everything he’s ever done, with the probable exception of some of the TV stuff with Sid Caesar and Carl Reiner. There will never be another one like him. Movies? Got ’em.
Tombstone 1993
Next to Blazing Saddles, this may be the best western movie I’ve ever seen. Well dressed, wisecracking superheroes of the wild west, and badass moustaches all around. What’s not to love?
Just like the rest of you, I could post a mighty tome but I’m not here for that. Short and sweet and over before it gets boring, if I do it right. Thanks for looking.
The Terrible Idealist
