Friday Flash 55.....


(Circa 1962..A dark deserted NYC street at 3:00 AM. Two strangers approach.)

"Pardon me, do you have a match?"

'I use a lighter'.

"Better yet"

'Until they go bad'.

"X-55?"

'Comrade'

"You have....*The Plan* ?"

'Yes, I have *The Plan* with me. In this valise is *The Plan* for total
world domination.......'
Code Name: Amway!!!!!

Retro Wednesday.....







The movie didn't hit the theaters in Flint Michigan until 1957.
Of course I couldn't get in, but just seeing the ad's drove me crazy.
Bardot was THE biggest sex icon in the world after Marilyn Monroe died.
She was my first fantasy girl.....(sigh)
That lasted for years, until I spotted this recent photo.
I just hate it when fantasies are DASHED!!!!!

No Prompt Poetry.....



You hear the music? Thats November's Song...
The days are brisk, the nights are long.
Your once blooming garden, is now a lonely yard.
You're the Last Rose of Summer...Still standing guard.
The lyrics grow faint, to the lessening throng.

In a changing world, you don't belong.
Most friends have fallen...You plod along.
Life used to be easy, now living is hard.
You hear the music? Thats November's Song...

Pack it one more time, then light that bong.
Take a deep breath, then Bang the Gong!
Some folks say, that you're a poor man's bard.
I guess it's better than...'A tub of lard'!
The crescendo is building, and I'm seldom wrong.
You hear the music? Thats November's Song...


A Rondeau is a 15 line poem with a aabba, aabR(refrain), aabbaR
rhyming scheme. The last line is the same as the first.
Some days I feel like I'm in the November of my life.
I need a 15 month Calendar!!!!!

Monday Munchies.....





For those of you that were not raised in a state or a household
that Deer Hunted as a Rite of Passage into the Winter.....
This post is not for you!
My good friend and co-worker Larry Lewis, is a a modern day Hiawatha.
He hunts deer with a Bow, with a shot-gun, with a rifle, and a muzzle-loader.
He usually harvests about 2-5 deer a  season.
Sometimes he needs to cull out his freezer of the venison from the previous
season. Often I am the lucky recipient of that bounty!!
This year Larry bestowed upon me the epitome of Meatly Cuisine....
The Tenderloin. Otherwise known as...The Back-Strap!
Cut into about 1 inch thick medallions, slightly dusted with seasoned flour,
Flash fried in a HOT skillet that you just carmelized some onions in for about
2 minutes a side, then set atop the onions to rest for about 5 minutes....
HEAVEN!!!!
You can have your Angus Beef, your Kobe Beef, or any other kind of Red Meat
pretenders....This to me is the ULTIMATE in Carniverous Dining.
Each tender morsel literally melts in your mouth. A toothless Moonshiner from
the hills would have no trouble eating these tiny treasures!!!!!
The top pic is the finished platter, the next pic is a Back-Strap Slider, the last
pic is what was left after me and Reese chowed down.
The Slider...?
The Best Thing EVER!!!!!!!!

(Massasoit's 23 year old son Dickaweed, mutters under his breath)

No Prompt Poetry.....




This is no joke people.
Today is World Toilet Day!!!
And in honor of this Odiferous Occasion, I offer this ODE.....

Throne of Porcelain
Recepticle of gluttenous indulgence
Catcher of The Golden Rain
Whether you are....
The destination of long squirming lines at a concert
Or locked up for the Winter in a county park
You are unfailing in your duty
The Dichotomy?
People Hate to smell you
People Love to see you
But always making them leave with a sigh and a smile
You are....The Seat of Relief!!!

The Wait Begins Again.....






As I have done for every season since 1973, I arrive at the corner
of Stadium and Main in Ann Arbor Michigan, at The Big House...Early.
I love sitting in my seat in an empty stadium, and slowly watch this mighty
bastion of football lore slowly fill up to 113,000 PLUS.
Yesterday was Michigan's final HOME game of this season.
Since the arrival of Brady Hoke as Michigan's Head Coach last year, Michigan
has NOT lost a home game. After suffering through THREE years of mediocrity
during the Rich Rod era, Michigan is crawing it's way back into College Football's
Elite. They are not quite there yet, but they are headed in the right direction.
So as Team 133 flowed through the tunnel for the final time this year
And the Sun sets on The Big House after a Glorious victory over Iowa
And the happy crowd exits the stadium on a PERFECT Fall  Saturday .....
Years of Flashbacks cross my mind:
The raucus days of College
Last Minute heroics, Heart wrenching defeats
Watching the families that sit around you grow, mature, passing on their traditions,
And passing on from this life into the next.
I love this place...For those 4 hours on game day, I'm not sick, the economy is put
on hold, job pressures don't exist, Time Stands Still!!!!
I know that this is hard for most of you to understand, I don't really understand it
myself, but this is what makes me happiest in the world!!!
Hail To The Victors!!!
C'Mon September..........

Friday Flash 55.....



(Ziggy's publisher was emphatic)
"OK, I'll give you one more chance. But it better be good!!!!!"
(Later that night, with Writer's Block)
'Arrrrrgh...Pulp Fiction similes drive me NUTS!
As Red as...
An Oklahoma Sunset?   Hmmmm
A Robin's tit?....Nah.
A Lobster's ass?....Maybe.'
(Then it hit him!)
'Ahhhhh....Lips as Red as Dorothy's Slippers.'



We've all been there I'm sure. Ziggy washed out as a mystery, but he later
found work writing jingles for Preparation H and Drano.

No Prompt Poetry.....




And again, how the mighty keep Falling
Director Dave just resigned from his Calling
He had a job that was Cushy,
But gave it up for some Pussy.
He should have stuck to Directing...Not Balling!!


Yes....Limericks ARE a poetry form.
(And even though HE was the head of the CIA...
Paula Broadwell did all the De-Briefing!)









Salute.....


To ALL that has answered their Country's call to duty...Thank You!


Yesterday I attended a Lecture and Seminar sponsored by the Mutual UFO Network.
MUFON for short. After sitting through 6 hours of very interesting data and experience
sharing, I've come to the realization that these people are troubled, frustrated, and
very distrustful. I can understand why too, and the governments of the worlds are to blame.
There IS a conspiracy of 'Cover Up", and the Men in Black do indeed exist!!!
They are very adept in scare tactics and intimidation.
The truth IS out there, but we DON'T have access to it.
I think I'll become a Bigfoot follower. There is no conspiracy to cover that up, AND....
Everybody Loves Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, the Swamp Ape, The Hairy Man, and
The Wood Booger.
Shake a Veterans and a Bigfoots hand today!

Friday Flash 55.....



THE HEDGEWITCH

Europeon villages of olde were surrounded by hedges.
Beyond the hedge was unknown.
Living beyond the hedge, brought both fear AND respect.
They belonged to neither the living or the dead.
They worshiped Mother Earth.
They studied the Great Mysteries of Nature.
They were practical and simple.
They rendered healing.
They begat Joy.....

One thing that I LOVE about my new Chevy Cruze from
Vic Canever Chevrolet in Beautiful Fenton Michigan, is XM Radio.
And on XM my favorite channel is Radio Classics.
Much of my retro inspiration comes from old radio shows. Tonight
on the ride home from work, I became hooked on an episode of
The Bickersons. I found myself sitting in my driveway until it ended and
just before I turned the engine off I noticed the odometer....
Reminded me of a 55 with bookends!!
See you Thursday 8:00 PM EST (I Hope)

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.

You'd better be in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there today because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic!!
