Thursday Portrait.....

Just cruisin around this chilly morning, lookin for a Thursday Pic.
The price of gas is down a bit at our local Kroger, great price for premium eh?
I pledge allegiance to the flag...
Click on that last pic....Are you thinking of a number?
See You ALL on Friday!!
Peace...!!!

Retro Wednesday.....

Before there was MTV...
Before there was Don Kirshner's Rock Concert..
Before there was Hullaballoo and Shindig...
Even before Dick Clark's American Bandstand....
The popular music of the day was on TV...
YOUR HIT PARADE!!!
Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, and The Hit Parade singers!!
Of course I remember that show...hehehehe
Peace...!!!


(Not this episode sillies, it ran until the late 50's)

TMI Tuesday......

Have you ever seen this guy before?
He's an Author, a Lawyer, and a guest judge on one of my favorite shows on The Food Channel...Iron Chef America.
But I have a BIG problem with him...He holds his fork like in the last pic!
Now I know he is not afflicted with some condition because I've seen him use chop-sticks. If my Grandmother had ever seen him eat, she would say..."He looks like he is shoveling the food in his mouth"!.HA! Funny how your childhood training stays with you doesn't it? I wonder where Jeffrey's training came from?
ANYWAY...Since this is TMI Tuesday, I guess I should pass along some info that you may or may not want to know.
And in doing so, I should also thank my lucky stars that I don't have to observe these tidbits of etiquette from around the world...

*Remember the spitting scene in Ace Ventura II? Well it IS indeed typical among Masai Tribesman to greet each other by spitting in each others faces!

*Following in the tradition of their great hero Yuri Gagarin, Russian Cosmonauts piss on the tires of the bus that takes them to the launch pad!

*In Nepal, Narikot wives are obliged to wash their husband's feet, then drink the dirty water as a token of their devotion!

*In accordance with the ancient Indian Laws of Manu, any citizen that broke wind in front of the reigning monarch, would have their anus amputated! (Those Manu's were strict!!)

*I agree with this one...According to British Royal Etiquette, when greeting the Queen, men are NOT obliged to remove their hat if they have Ringworm!

And These Blasts From The Past...

*In 16th Century Europe, It was customary for men to greet female guests by fondling their breasts..Provided they were related! (Creepy)

*The 16th Century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, died after attending a banquet in Prague thrown by a Baron. Brahe drank very heavily, but etiquette prevented from leaving the table to relieve himself before the host left. His bladder burst, and he died from a urinary infection 11 days later!

*Fijian cannibals usually ate with their fingers, but as a token of respect for the dead, they used a ritual wooden fork when consuming human flesh!

So I guess I should cut Jeffrey a little slack eh?

Peace...!!!

Mundane Monday.......

Hi Everybody, I hope you all had a dry relaxing week-end!
We didn't get any rain at our golf outing, and I won a very nice 123 piece tool set!
Which was promptly claimed by my son Reese...
I don't have any food pics since they fed us at the outing. So I pretty much have nothing for today, but I will say this....
Who on God's Green Earth is Geicko's Ad Agency?
I absolutely HATE the Caveman ads, and the Money-Eyes is just plain creepy!!
So let me ask you this...Which TV commercial makes you get up and pee, even if you don't have to?
Have a Great Week...
Peace...!!!

See Ya Monday......

Today is our Company's Golf outing.
Tee-Off is at 9:00 AM, with Lunch and Prizes following.
But I'll still be grinning no doubt, basking in Michigan's come from behind victory over the Indiana Hoosiers.
It was a damp misty day for the most part, but as the clock ticked down on poor Indiana, the clouds parted a bit and Golden Rays of Sunshine streamed into The Big House. The scoreboard said Mich. 36 Ind. 33, but The Wolverines said...
Hoosier Daddy??
Peace...!!!

Friday Flash 55.......

.....ODE TO DELICIOUSNESS.....REALLY!!!

You can eat it anytime, you can eat it in bed.
It's creamy smoooooth, and easy to spread.
It's gooey, it's salty, it's sticky, it's sweet.
I prefer it Natural, it's my favorite treat!!
Some eat it slowly, some fast and furious.
Some women will try it...When they're feeling curious!!



I know, 2 weeks in a row...Sorry.
But, if you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55..
Come tell the G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most one-track minded host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick-Ass Week-End...!!!

Thursday Portrait.....

Back in the mid-50's, Coca-Cola did a little experiment with Subliminal Advertising. During a movie, every 55th frame or so , a message was flashed..Drink More Coke!
Coke sales for that movie performance shot though the roof...155%!! But remember, this was Circa 1955, Korean War, Brainwashing? The Government quickly stepped in and banned Subliminal Advertising.
But some unscrupulous Bloggers still use it...Or so I hear!!
Peace...!!!
