It's down there waiting!
Waiting to emerge, and foul the air...
To escape from the bowels of Hell,
and make all that stands in it's path quake with fear,
and flee blindly and wildly into the night!!
"OK Mr. Haynes, this Gas-X should do the trick...
And please, eat nothing more from the cabbage family"!!

Set Him Free.......
Did everyone survive the Holiday?....Good!
I see Dr. Jack Kevorkian, aka Dr. Death, is getting released from prison this week after spending over 9 years behind bars.....9 years for mercifully assisting a few tortured souls to find peace!!
That reminds me of when we were in college, a guy by the name of John Sinclair, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the possession of two joints.. He was the Mgr. of a very controversial rock band of the times called The MC-5. You may recall their mega party hit tune..."Kick Out The Jams..Mother Fuckers"!!...Yeah, I thought that would bring back a few memories..Ha Ha Ha!..Anyway, on my birthday Dec. 10, in 1971, John Lennon and Yoko Ono performed a "Free John Sinclair" rally in Ann Arbor in front of about 20,000 people, and I was one of them!!
John Lennon sang a song called 'John Sinclair' and he incouraged the audience to sing along...
"Let him be... Set him free... Let him be like you and me"!!...3 days after the concert, the Michigan Supreme Court overturned his conviction, and he was released from prison..
POWER TO THE PEOPLE.......
Two weeks ago in a pub in down-town Flint, John Sinclair gave a poetry reading to a small but enthusiastic crowd.....I did not find out about it until the next day and I was NON-PLUSSED to say the least!!
.......So! Do you think Lindsay Lohan will serve any jail time? See you tomorrow for HNT!!

Week-End Diary.......
Saturday was my day off, but there has been some action this week because of some Memorial Day Bonus Cash now being offered on select vehicles. Because of this, I was round-a-boutly asked if I would come in and take care of any overflow customers...
I suggested that the company provide lunch for everyone, and that I would go to the Mkt and purchase all items necessary, soda, ice, chips,, onions, buns, brats, and Koegels Viennas!
...And of course, I cooked everything on the gas grill!
When the brats and the Viennas were cooked to perfection, ( I had a huge pot of beer ((Yeungling))onions and bell peppers, simmering in the kitchen ), they were dumped in the pot, and people could then eat when they were free of customers.
This worked out great, and I even ended up selling an Impala!! So it was worth going in on my day off I guess...
Last night I was bored , so I called on old friend of ours up and asked what she was up to......
Now lets get something straight here, My friend Pat is a single woman of Hispanic descent, we have known each other since college, and she is also my son's God-Mother, and my wifes friend and running partner, and she is like my sister, so it was not anything naughty because my wife is still in Europe,,,,,Are we clear on that?..... So I called her up and she said," come on over, me and my friend Lisa are drinking margarita's"! I said that I would be right over... 10 seconds later the phone rings and it's Pat again, " Gaaaaaalen Honey, me and Lisa and too buzzed to drive, could you stop and get some Tequila and lemons, and Triple-sec?"..What do You think?
Of course I stopped, and I did not buy anything cheap either, I bought this Cuervo Gold 1800!
So I finally arrived and the blender was anxiously awaiting me!!...Man they were great!!
Now Pat is from a family with 8 siblings, and I've known all of them for 35 years or more also.
I've gone to all of their family functions; Open Houses..Weddings..Funerals..Anniversaries.. Birthdays..Christmas Parties..New Years Parties... Tamale Making Parties..I'm an honorarie Gringo Family Member!!..So one by one, siblings dropped in last night at Pat's Place also..
By 10:30 her house was abuzz with fun and laughter!! Certain guests are blessed with having some very very good smoking material, and the blender never stopped running, so by Midnight everyone was pretty much mellow, low-key, and groovin to some great jazz...Pats brother Dan , who is a very good friend of mine also, asked me what I was doing on Sunday, I had no plans.
He asked if I could help him out from about 2-5 , because he was having a Christening Party at their church for his grand-daughter, and would I help in the kitchen because he had huge amounts of smoked meat that needed to be carved sliced and plattered...Of course I said yes!
I gotta tell you, these people can put on the Feed-Bag!! ..This was what they served 85 people..
Corn
Green Beans
Home-Made Scalloped Potatoes
Salad
Fresh Fruit Salad
Croissants/Butter
Southern Fried Chicken
Slow Smoked Beef Sirloin Tip Roasts
Slow Smoked Hams
And Slow Smoked Pork Butts that was to die for!!
Cakes...Cookies...Brownies...Blah Blah Blah!!!
So.....after spending the better part of two days cooking and serving and cleaning up shit in the kitchen, me and Reese are going to enjoy the rest of our Holiday Bachelor Weekend, eating off of the huge food platter of left-overs that Danny sent home with me...Sorry this was so long and rambling....But who else has posted anything new since Friday?...Hahahahaha.... Peace!
Oh BTW, If you feel like rambling...Tell me what you did so far..... I'm Listening...

Cogito Ergo 55.........
Sitting in his Philosophy class, the frenzied student was actually cramming for his Poetry final!
Seeing this, the Professor screamed aloud; "Mr Haynes, poetry and philosophy do NOT mix..
So what about Descartes"?
"Professor I say this with dread.
....It's perfectly clear,
that I'm NOT REALLY HERE.
Cause I haven't a thought in my head"!!
If you did a Friday Flash 55......Go tell Susie!!!.... Peace

Vintage...1949
Happy Tuesday everyone!! You know, for a man of considerable girth, I've always gotten around quite well. I competed in sports in High School. I could always hold my own in Paddle-Ball, and Golf. And I've been known to cut a rug or two on the dance floor. I've never had a cavity, and although I've totaled out 3 cars in my life-time, and have "Kissed the Pavement" once or twice on my bike, I've NEVER had a broken bone of any kind!! Knock on Wood!!!
Yesterday for some unknown reason, my left knee became very painful to walk on...
Every time I stood to walk on it, I thought that I would need a cane to ambulate. After I got up and moved around a bit, it loosened up some, but I still have a slight limp. Last night I found some Ben-Gay in the medicine cabinet, and slathered some on before I went to bed. Well if you have ever smelled that horrid cream , you know how it's aroma can waft through the whole house!
Soon afterwards, my 17 year old son Reese came into my room to inquire about the pungent smell, he then tells me that "Ben-Gay works for shit...You need the REAL stuff"! He then brings into my room a very small container of this cream called "Tiger Balm". "I paid 12 bucks of my own money for this crap...It's the best".He then orders me to show him my knee......(as he was putting on a rubber glove). I said ' why the glove Reese ' ? He smiled and said..."You'll soon find out"! Next he came back with a medicine vial of 800mg Motrin, took one out, handed it to me , and ordered me to take it. YIKES!! Within a minute or two I could feel the burn start to increase until it felt like someone was holding a blow torch to my knee. But the pain soon gave way to relative comfort, and I was able to enjoy some rest..
GOD I FELT OLD!!! I certainly hope that this was not a harbinger of things to come...My son taking care of me, and handing me my 'Meds'!!! My mind tells me that I am 25 years old, but unfortunately my body and the mirror tells me a different story.
But before I went into a total state of depression and dimentia, I was reading a book someone had given me for one of my birthdays. It happened to be a book about events that took place the year that I was born. I've made a small list of the most prominent names that share my birth year, and here are some of them....
Billy Joel
Bonnie Raitt
Lionel Richie
Maureen McGovern
John Oates
Alex Ljiljak (my best friend)
Eddie Money
Maurice Gibb
Robin Gibb
Rick Springfield
Tom Waits
I think that it would be fun, if any of you out there, could name me a couple of famous people that may also share YOUR birth year...Of course if you are too old to do so, I understand!!
Thanks for visiting.............Peace!
