Tomorrow is the first of June, First thing on the agenda, a bike ride. I don’t have a whizzer gas motor, I rechon the people who bought one for $100 in the 50’s, would buy a battery-assist bike today for what? two grand? I have a feeling those whizzer motors were finicky, I would be…
I SAW where there is a convention going on in the Wisconsin Dells called COLOSSALCON. Got my hopes up but it’s just anime. My thinking was that it would have, well colossal stuff and people. Del Monte could send the Jolly Green Giant. Amazon should send, well, an Amazon. “They Might Be Giants” could play….
I found a batch of these novelty “Comic Cards” from probably the 1950’s? when I was rooting around in one of my filing cabinets. In this one, two dogs have to pee, but they are afraid to use the only tree-like object in the vicinity, a rather imposing totem pole. My dog doesn’t get the…
I remember listening to Santana on AM RADIO when I was a kid. Absolutely floored by this video, with artists from all over the world. At some point Carlos married Cindy Blackman, and wow. At one point she beats those drums like they stole her purse!
This guy looks like he is thinking about going into his Uncle Marv’s Cheese business. The number of horse heads vs. the number of legs, is starting to get to him. Does the sender of this card, Peg have a wooden leg? Farms are dangerous. I gained even more respect for Peg when I read…
I have a couple ingrown toenails, so my PCP insists that I have to see a podiatrist… I have an appointment tomorrow. Not sure how he will fix it, the soaking my feet in epsom salts doesn’t seem to be working. I’m fine when I am rambling around the house barefoot, but I tried all…
Sally and bill, going on a nice stroll in the hills… Love is in the air! BUT WAIT! Who is behind you? Sally’s ex boyfriend, Dutch! He’s got an evil look in his eye. I am always trying to get the ladies here to watch out for themselves. Sadly, that’s the world we live it.
These “Ripple” shoes probably were fun and different to wear, and maybe changed a person’s gait in a positive way. Years later, say 1970 something, my sister had some oddly wedge shaped heels on her shoes branded “Get There” that made similar claims. I think that Ripple shoes were defeated by the same thing that…
I don’t usually go in for horror podcasts, as I often listen while sleeping, and combine horror with my wife’s fan blowing on my shoulders, and you get “night terrors”. However Rainn Wilson injects some levity between stories, usually stories that people have called in, so that makes it interesting as well. If you like…
I always mail things with trepidation, like sending a kid to summer camp. Sometimes I read “human interest” stories about a letter that was mailed decades ago being found inside a wall, or under a supervisor, or stuck behind some ancient machine at the post office, and then they dutifully track the recipient down, but…
