They would joke about how weird Joey looked and would imitate the 1-2-3-4 count like Corky from 'Life Goes On' was calling it out. Now, they were listening to sorry crap like Styx, Journey, and REO Speedwagon. For some stupid reason they thought that was good music. See, the corporate big shots brain washed their tiny pea brains in the 'tiny pea brain, brain washing conspiracy of the 1970's' conspiracy back in the 70's. They couldn't help it cause they got tiny pea brains. Anyway, now that time has passed and I can look back, I can see just how tiny their brains actually were and how I had super future X-ray vision for cool junk. It was obvious to me cause The Ramones didn't have kinky perms or write a song about their hair dresser Mr. Roberto like that girl singer for Styx did (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That is a true story about the song Mr. Roboto. How sick and sad is that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) The Ramones didn't cancel a gazillion shows cause their throats were sore like that girl singer for Journey did(&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Ramones played 2,263 shows, roughly as many as The Grateful Dead&lt;/span&gt;) The Ramones didn't wear tight spandex pants on their big fat asses like that girl guitar player for REO did (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Ramones wore jeans with holes in the knees&lt;/span&gt;) The Ramones didn't play state fairs, revival shows, or the Wind Jammer in East Tulsa like those three slugs. The Ramones didn't have some stupid band name that some num-skull thought sounded cool, like Boston, Foreigner, or Supertramp (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Ramones got the band name from a story that Paul McCartney called himself  Paul Ramone when the Beatles were playing the bars in Hamburg, Germany before they were famous. See, that way some young fraulein couldn't track him down if he knocked her up. That's why they all took the last name Ramone as well&lt;/span&gt;) A few years back some one decided to put together a Ramones tribute album and the likes of U2, Pearl Jam, Kiss, Metallica, Marylin Manson, The Red Hot Chile Peppers, Foo Fighters, Rancid, Green Day, The Offspring, Rob Zombie, Garbage, The Pretenders, and Tom Waits all recorded songs for it. Hell, Joey Ramone has a street named after him in New York City, and the nations largest metropolis celebrated Joey Ramone day ta-boot. That's a little different than having a dirt road named after you and a wing-dig that evening in Afton or Pawhuska. The Ramones raised several hundred thousand dollars for the 911 families, did benefits for the homeless, and even gave money to by Kevlar for the New York City Police Department. The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on their first ballot in 2002. Those other three bands haven't even been nominated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because a singer has a 6 octave voice or a guitar player can run scales up and down the neck of his guitar to beat the band, doesn't mean their any good. As a friend of mine said to some jack ass who was bashing the Ramones "Rock and roll isn't about great musicians, it's about great music." Well said, friend. He wasn't one of my tiny pea brained friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YiDgA5oDlws?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YiDgA5oDlws?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BR1c_14dVg0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BR1c_14dVg0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/STW2uyaMk_k?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/STW2uyaMk_k?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-2676090806835388248?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/2676090806835388248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=2676090806835388248' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2676090806835388248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2676090806835388248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/08/ramones-vs-styx-journey-and-reo.html' title='The Ramones vs Styx, Journey, and REO'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/THEc2QSuSWI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/CH6bMmOKrz0/s72-c/ramones.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-5423589380085722360</id><published>2010-08-07T20:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-11T19:40:21.994-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Where Have All The Little Monkey Kisses Gone?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TF5CJEQQm0I/AAAAAAAAAaI/xIrgfB_RoiA/s1600/Eddy+and+Tracy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 284px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502908518221519682" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TF5CJEQQm0I/AAAAAAAAAaI/xIrgfB_RoiA/s400/Eddy+and+Tracy.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello friends,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;How do people fall in love? I mean, what is it inside us that makes us have that 'goofy way you feel' feeling for another person? Is it some kind of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;endorphin&lt;/span&gt; that makes you happy when you see that person walk in to the room? What causes you to get that weird, spongy sensation in your stomach when that special person smiles at you? And I mean that smile where you know they are feeling the same way you are. What makes you dizzy when you have been in Louisiana doing hurricane Katrina clean up and on the return trip home the bus carrying the volunteers breaks down at 2:30 in the morning just 30 miles south of Tulsa and when she comes to pick you up she gets out of the car and runs to you and jumps in your arms and raps her legs around your waist then gives you a million little monkey kisses all over your face on the side of the highway as the semi trucks roar by? Could it be a chemical &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;imbalance&lt;/span&gt; that makes you feel that way for that certain someone and not feel that way for someone else? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;So, after going throw all of that malarkey, how do some people wind up losing that feeling for one another? Do those little electrical sparks stop jumping around your brain after a while? How do things that &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;usta&lt;/span&gt; make them laugh, all of a sudden make them mad? How does a hero turn into a villain? How do monkey kisses turn in to kicks in the balls? (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;metaphorically speaking&lt;/span&gt;) Now to begin with, the answers to these questions are not the answers I'm really looking for. But you see, you have to answer those questions, to get to the question that I want the answer to. What I really want to know is, how does a wonderful, skipping through the daisies, dancing on a star, kind of love some how turn in to hating my stupid guts?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eSMlT6yO_Es&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eSMlT6yO_Es&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;'The wind of fate has pried us loose..'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-5423589380085722360?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/5423589380085722360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=5423589380085722360' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/5423589380085722360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/5423589380085722360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/08/where-have-all-little-monkey-kisses.html' title='Where Have All The Little Monkey Kisses Gone?'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TF5CJEQQm0I/AAAAAAAAAaI/xIrgfB_RoiA/s72-c/Eddy+and+Tracy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-8238640811196127334</id><published>2010-07-03T12:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-03T13:56:39.307-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Franny Beecher</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TC-h6sq3JpI/AAAAAAAAAaA/F69a9kEjU1E/s1600/Franny.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489784500583343762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TC-h6sq3JpI/AAAAAAAAAaA/F69a9kEjU1E/s400/Franny.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as I love all the founding fathers of rock guitar, like Carl Perkins, Link Wray, Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Cliff Gallup, and Paul Burlison, nobody, and I mean nobody, tore it up like Franny Beecher. Next time you here Rock Around the Clock, listen to the lead guitar. It's blistering. Nobody was playing like that back then. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I got the pleasure and honor to meet Mr. Beecher about ten years ago at the Jackson Rockabilly Festival in Jackson Tennessee (Home of Carl Perkins) He was a wonderful guy who spent several minutes talking to me about what ever I wanted to talk about. Think about it, this cat was there at the start. He is one of the guys responsible for all this rock and roll business. From the Beatles to the Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin to Nirvana, The Rolling Stones to Green Day, and everything in between. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to see him preform. He was in his eighties and like the dumb ass that I am, I thought he probably couldn't play very well any more, and I didn't want to see that. Well, Mr. Beecher got to join the long list of people who have proved me wrong. He destroyed that guitar. Smoked it.

You bet your sweet ass he does. I'll prove it to you. Now, the last couple of years have been pretty tough. I won't go in to all of it now, just take my word for it. Well, I started to clean out my garage yesterday. My garage is not hooked up to the house, it's kinda stuck in my back yard. The driveway runs from the street, up past the house, through the gate to the garage. So, I pulled everything out of the garage and on to the driveway or in the back yard. A friend stopped by and we played some darts (real darts) where I promptly got spanked every single game. I never returned to the garage &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;cleanin&lt;/span&gt;'. I get up this morning to find out it rained last night. Most of my stuff was in plastic totes with out the lids. So my stuff didn't just get wet, it got to soak. The other stuff was in card board boxes, which fell apart and left everything in the grass or on the wet concrete. I had a full rack of cloths, records, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;CD's&lt;/span&gt;, movies, electronic stuff, tools, photos, some of my paintings, etc. Most of it is ruined. I felt like it was the last straw. I thought I was going to cry. Then I hear thunder, so I'm trying to get most of it back in the garage. As I'm bringing the last rain filled tote in, I'm pushing another box on the floor over with my bare foot to make room for the one I'm holding. As I'm doing this one of those fold up metal carts, used to haul files and office things around, falls over and mashes my toes. Now you tell me, does God have a sense of humor or what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm tied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UYk8qFZJdGc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UYk8qFZJdGc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Adios my friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;~e~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-9041540812594688372?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/9041540812594688372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=9041540812594688372' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/9041540812594688372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/9041540812594688372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/06/does-god-have-sense-of-humor.html' title='Does God Have A Sense Of Humor?'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TCmOuZLmElI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/2lms8SqboSU/s72-c/god.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-5562822564520528730</id><published>2010-06-24T22:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-25T03:36:14.004-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Virtual Darts General Patton vs.Hansel and Gretel</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TCSFY9D0Y1I/AAAAAAAAAZw/HynArglr4vY/s1600/Patton.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 273px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486656909798040402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TCSFY9D0Y1I/AAAAAAAAAZw/HynArglr4vY/s400/Patton.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Well, I'm a little pissed, a little disappointed, and a little hurt, but I'm more pissed than the other two. There is something that I haven't told y'all...cause...well...it's a little embarrassing. You see, I play virtual darts on-line, and well, I am ranked number one in the world. I'm the only American in the top ten. That is the Gods honest truth, number one. The good part is that it makes me zero dollarinos, zilch. So I don't have to worry about taxes and what to spend the money on, so that's nice. Finally something I'm good at...virtual darts...wow. Now for the last few weeks I've been hanging around 6th, give or take a place, but I have played over my head lately and made the big push to the first spot yesterday. So what, big deal right? Right. But what I'm writing about is how the damned Germans have turned on me. These two dudes, who have been the big guns forever, and who were nice as hell when they were spanking my little red, white, and blue ass blue, have started talking all kinds of trash. Like I shouldn't be # 1 cause I'm not good and how I got lucky and so on. One even called me a bitch. Now, Hansel and Gretel (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;as I call them&lt;/span&gt;) have no idea who they are messin' with. First I'm a Merican, by God. (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I meant to drop the 'A' cause that's how I say it...Merican&lt;/span&gt;) Second, I'm an Okie. I don't care what you say, the biggest sissy form Oklahoma will beat the ever lovin' tar out of some pretzel bendin', lieder hosen wearin', Heidi from Hamburg...sorry I got off on a tangent. Anyway, those idiots thought they could have a war of words with me, the General Patton of the come back and I always cross that line. I asked one of them if they had ever won a war they started. I said it seems that y'all are good about starting things but can't seem to follow through. I told the other that I think my uncle shot his Grampa at Normandy and cut his ear off and wore it on a necklace and he brought his G'pa's blood stained helmet back and gave it to the retarded neighbor kid down the street who used it for a urinal. I asked them why the worn girls bikini bottoms when they went swimming. I said Americans couldn't wear those because it wouldn't cover our huge.......well, you know. I asked how it felt to know that there relatives were all big losers and quitters. Oh, they were big men in Poland but that didn't last long. I told them they probably have American blood cause all the Frauleins were sleeping with our GI's...and who could blame them when all they had were bikini bottom wearers. I commended them on there bang up job with the 1972 Olympic hostage situation. Who was head of security, col. Klink? And on and on and on. They don't like me much. Shouldn't have called me a bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1AOdlU_z6Z4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1AOdlU_z6Z4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Jv-Re2bUL4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Jv-Re2bUL4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-5562822564520528730?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/5562822564520528730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=5562822564520528730' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/5562822564520528730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/5562822564520528730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/06/virtual-darts-general-patton-vshansel.html' title='Virtual Darts General Patton vs.Hansel and Gretel'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TCSFY9D0Y1I/AAAAAAAAAZw/HynArglr4vY/s72-c/Patton.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-8386660016014167182</id><published>2010-06-01T03:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-01T05:02:21.076-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Independence Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TAT1I3sllyI/AAAAAAAAAZo/TGLws6C0xpY/s1600/USAgirls1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 249px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 348px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477772579528087330" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/TAT1I3sllyI/AAAAAAAAAZo/TGLws6C0xpY/s400/USAgirls1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;---------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;God bless America!!! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Well, the 4th of July is a only a short month away and since I didn't get any Memorial Day lake invites, I have no delusions of getting one for Independence Day either. I don't matter cause I got plans already. Very important plans doing very important junk, so don't waist your time. Now, I have always kinda fancied myself a bit of a comedian. I like to pull gags and such. Everybody loves my pranks. I have an old friend that thinks it's hilarious when I make fun of him. He laughs for hours. So, here is a joke for you to do at what ever shin-dig your shin-diggin' at. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;What you'll need: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;) One small American flag on a stick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;) One kazoo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;) One sparkler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;) One pair of those glasses with the big springy eye balls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;) One Flowerdy Hi-y-yan shirt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;OK, after everyone has had a few adult beverages, you kinda slip into the shadows. Put on the glasses (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;) Put the kazoo (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;) in your mouth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Now, when you see the wife of the host of the party, wait untill her back is towards you then take off your pants. I mean strip down to nothin' but leave the flowerdy Hi-y-yan shirt (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;) on. Lite the sparkler (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;) and pick up the flag (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;(*note* Do NOT lite the sparkler (3) before you take off your drawers, cause you will burn your nuts when you are a slidin'um off. Trust me on this, OK, I know&lt;/span&gt;) Where was I? Oh yeah, Then you run up behind the wife of the host, wavin' that flag, whippin' that sparkler to and fro, hummin' 'My Sharona' on the kazoo, all the while your humpin' her back side to beat the band. I'm tellin' y'all, everyone will be in stitches. I did this gag at the last 4th of July party I was invited to, oh I guess it was in 86, and they are still talking about it.

You see, I was looking at a friends Face Book photos and the caption under one read "Some one Photo Shop me some hair" My friend is noticeably thinning on top. So, I put a Pompadour and big sideburns on him. It looked so funny that I put a fancy white jump suit and some gold Elvis glasses. I didn't use Photo Shop (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I use to have Photo Shop but you need a physics degree to work it and I'm a few hours short on that one&lt;/span&gt;) Instead I used Windows Paint, so the pic didn't look real, it looked like a cartoon. To me, that's what made it funny. I also did a Uncle Fester, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Pipi&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Longstocking&lt;/span&gt;, Marilyn Monroe, and a Chippendale dancer. The photos I used weren't of just friends, they were friends I really care about. Well, I fixed up a photo of a guy who has been a friend of mine for a long, long, time. I took the photo and put a jacket and a cap on him of a sports team that he hates. I mean really, really, REALLY, hates. I put it on my photo page on Face Book and somehow it gets sent to a gazillion people. My friend came unhinged. I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;truly&lt;/span&gt; thought it was &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Innocent&lt;/span&gt; and had know idea he would come unraveled. Then one thing led to another and things got a little heated. Anyway, I apologised and said I would take it off, which I did. I also removed all the other photos I rigged up. So, I'm pacing the floor, my head is about to explode I'm so pissed. Then it hits me, well it took a while, more like it poured over me like molasses. It doesn't matter if I think he over reacted or if I think h was being too sensitive. It doesn't matter if I meant no harm or that I thought it was funny. What matters is, he didn't think it was funny and I hurt him. Who am I to decide what's funny or not if it's at someone &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;else's&lt;/span&gt; expense? Just because it wouldn't bother me doesn't mean it wouldn't bother someone else, and the last thing I want to do is hurt someones feelings, especially someone I care for. So, that being said, I would like to apologise to any one I have offended, upset, pissed off, teased, poked fun at, ragged on, or made mad. Those were not, or ever, my intentions. I hope you will except this apology in the manner and spirit that it is given.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS Everybody feel better now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-8451877187808844708?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/8451877187808844708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=8451877187808844708' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/8451877187808844708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/8451877187808844708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/05/read-this.html' title='Read This'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-1077335232316806146</id><published>2010-05-17T21:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-22T15:02:11.540-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Question For You</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S_JVibOnU9I/AAAAAAAAAZY/85ZAaUR6xeU/s1600/bus-crash-.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 250px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472530547121542098" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S_JVibOnU9I/AAAAAAAAAZY/85ZAaUR6xeU/s400/bus-crash-.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I understand that I am responsible for my actions, and that 95% of everything bad that happens to me is because of something that I have done. But that doesn't necessarily mean that for every wrong or bad action there is a repercussion. Our days are full of wrong or bad actions, for instance, say a man (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bo Ziffer&lt;/span&gt;) walks across the street with out looking and get hit by a bus full of nuns. Action (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;walking across the street&lt;/span&gt;) = repercussion (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;hit by nuns&lt;/span&gt;) right? OK, now let's say if a different man (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Ben Wafflehowser&lt;/span&gt;) walks across the same street with out looking and doesn't get hit by anything. Action (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;walking across the street&lt;/span&gt;) = ??? (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;No repercussion&lt;/span&gt;) right? So why is it that the Bo Ziffers of the world, it seems, are always getting hit by buses full of nuns, and the Ben Wafflehowsers of the world, it seems, don't get hit by shit? Hell, some Ben Wafflehowsers not only make it across the street with out a scratch, but find a 20 dollar bill on the sidewalk that some Bo Ziffer has lost, all the while cars and dump trucks and buses full of nuns crash and collide all around him. I, on the other hand, am one of those guys that gets hit by the bus full of nuns while I'm standing there oblivious, pushin' that button that is suppose to change the traffic light (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;but never does&lt;/span&gt;) 100 times like a machine gun. Push-push-push-push-push (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Come onnnn&lt;/span&gt;) push-push-push (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;For the love of God, please&lt;/span&gt;) push-push (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;omebody yells "Look out for that bus full of nuns. It's out-a-control!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) Push-push-push- (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I yell back "It doesn't seem to be workin', I'll push it some more!"&lt;/span&gt;) push-push (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;'What was he say'un?', I think to myself&lt;/span&gt;) push-push-push-pu-CRASH! BOOM!! (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;MY SPLINE!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;BANG!!! SMASH!!!! Silence, except for the sound of one lone hub cap spinnin' on the pavement. The carnage is horrific. I lay there maimed and broken, in the midst of the twisted steel and leaking gasoline, mumbling the Gettysburg Address and holding my busted right arm out, my bloody hand in a fist with my snapped in two places index finger crookedly extended, moving it back and forth like I was pushin' that damn button. It's a pathetic sight friends, pathetic. The point I'm tryin' to make is...is...hum...well, let's see...the point is...ahh...Hell, I forgot the stupid point I was tryin' to make, damn it. I hate it when I do that, sorry....Hold on, I remember, the point I was makin' is take the bus. Yeah, it saves the ozone, helps not pollute the air, saves precious fuel, you can meet nice people, and will mean less traffic on the streets, that way I can zip around town freely in my car and won't have to worry about traffic jams or lines at the gas station. That's my point......i&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; think&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here's one you haven't heard. This guy was standin' in the street darin' the buss full of nuns to run over him...and they did too...twice. He was a drug addict, an alcoholic, and known to commit acts of violence (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffff66;"&gt;Mainly with a baseball bat&lt;/span&gt;) and those are the kind of traits I like in my rock stars.

Maybe the world. Like my mama says "It ain't &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;braggin&lt;/span&gt;' if it's true". And believe you me, it's the Gods honest truth. I bagged and tag a little tiny redheaded baby night before last. It took me all of 30 minutes to nab the little critter. Tracy has already found a home from him. You know what I'm &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;hopin&lt;/span&gt;' for? I'm &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;hopin&lt;/span&gt;' that someday I will be fortunate enough to catch one of those &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;inbred&lt;/span&gt; f**&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;tossin&lt;/span&gt;' a baby pussycat in the dumpster. What a glorious day that would be. First, I would thank God for delivering this sacrifice unto me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Second, I would shove my thumb in his eye socket until I hit gray matter (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;if any&lt;/span&gt;) then twist it back and forth real fast. Third, I would stomp on his nuts with my Chuck Taylor's until his tiny balls look like little Belgian waffles. And lastly, while he's laying there on the pavement wondering what went wrong with his 'throw away the pussycat' plan, I would relieve myself, I'm sorry friends, but I will piss all over his head. Then everyone will call him names like 'One Eyed Waffle Nuts' or '&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Yella&lt;/span&gt; Headed Stinky Noodle' or 'Popeye the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Cyclopsed&lt;/span&gt; Urine Boy' or &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;somtnin&lt;/span&gt;' like that. That's what I'm &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;hopin&lt;/span&gt;' for.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br

friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The History~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of years ago I had a little bout with the pleurisy. That's where the tissue between the ribs and lungs become inflamed. Great mother of God, I thought I was gonna die it hurt so bad. Any normal man would have lost his mind or committed suicide. Lucky for me I'm as tough as a herd of duck billed &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;platypuses's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Anyway, the doctor told me the problem was my stomach was &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;pushin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' my lungs in to my heart or my lungs were &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;pullin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' on my pancreas or &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;somethin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' along those line. I'm not sure, cause I really wasn't paying attention. But in a nut shell, if I didn't lose my gut, well, basically I was gonna expire. So, two years go by and I haven't changed a thing. I thought if I ignored it, it would go away. It didn't. Some day that will work but as of yet I'm 0 for 2674 (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;my pop says it won't ever work, but I'm gonna show him someday&lt;/span&gt;) I thought about working out but that takes to much effort. Diet crossed my mind...for about 3 seconds. I can't go for walks cause it kills me not to run (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that's how I got the pleurisy to begin with...&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;runnin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;) And I've toyed with the idea about getting a bike, but Schwinn doesn't make Sting-Ray's for adults. Looks like I'm doomed and headed for the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' marble orchard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Now~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Tracy wanted a bike for her birthday...I'm sorry, we don't celebrate her birthday anymore. Let me start over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Now~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracy wanted a bike for the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Tracgiving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; day 'giving of the gifts' ritual. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Tracgiving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; day is a day set aside to celebrate the knowing of Tracy. I got her this &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;pearlescent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; pink beach cruiser. I got her the perfect bike...cause she picked it out. It's got a bell, a basket, a book rack, a light, a drink holder, a gadget that tells how fast your going, how far you've gone, average speed, top speed, how many calories burned, the time in &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Pango&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Pango&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, if your about to come in to money, and the color of your underwear. It's topped off with a pink flower on the handle bars. It's very glamorous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, this all boils down to I'm gonna have to get a bicycle. I went to a fancy bike shop and looked at some fancy bikes. My shopping experience lasted a bit longer (but not much) than my thoughts about starting a diet. It's not that I couldn't afford one, it's that I just don't have that kind of money. So, I went to Target and bought about the first bike I came across. A blue Schwinn Legacy. It's frame was shaped kinda like the bright red Sting-Ray I had as a kid &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;(the greatest bike in the world&lt;/span&gt;) so I bought it. I have modified it a bit. Not much, just a couple of tweaks to make my bike riding experience a little more enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here is what it looked like when I bought it~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-07zo7MgII/AAAAAAAAAYo/1h_A_A49kQQ/s1600/bike.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 204px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471094880670089346" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-07zo7MgII/AAAAAAAAAYo/1h_A_A49kQQ/s400/bike.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here it is today~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-3d_7IifDI/AAAAAAAAAY4/YC12shxuKzE/s1600/DR1+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471273212600024114" class="blsp-spelling-error" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-3d_7IifDI/AAAAAAAAAY4/YC12shxuKzE/s400/DR1+(2).JPG" /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt; I named her Death-Ray cause what use to be an easy bike to ride has turned into a flat black death machine that's gonna pump my ass strait to the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;coroner&lt;/span&gt; if I don't pay attention and the Schwinn Sting-Ray which was the greatest bicycle ever built. I just &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;mashed'um&lt;/span&gt; together and that's what I got, Death-Ray. Get it? Very clever I am at times. Don't she look great tho?

Oh yeah, with all the time and money I've spent on the Death-Ray, it guess I could have bought one of those fancy bikes at the fancy bike store after all....but, I'm not that fancy and then I wouldn't have the most coolest bike on the planet, would I?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Motorhead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; playing their tribute to the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Ramones&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ~ R.A.M.O.N.E.S&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O0ISQQxA6WY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O0ISQQxA6WY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-3d_7IifDI/AAAAAAAAAY4/YC12shxuKzE/s1600/DR1+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-1162753417188486571?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/1162753417188486571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=1162753417188486571' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1162753417188486571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1162753417188486571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/05/death-ray.html' title='The Death-Ray'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-0-4-vlANI/AAAAAAAAAYw/IAj7jk_P0Wk/s72-c/CIMG1488.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-2543173141512729957</id><published>2010-05-05T01:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-12T03:06:29.006-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jim Blue's Barber Shop ~ A Tulsa Landmark</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467738654868756514" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-FPVlgf2CI/AAAAAAAAAYI/CNlb1PkWt6Q/s400/CIMG1477.JPG" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna ask for a bit of help from ya'll. It's not anything for me. What could I possibly need? I'm smrt as a whippet and as pretty as any man could ever wish to be. No, this is to help my barber, my friend, and help preserve a bit of Tulsa history. You like history, don'cha? So here is my pitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim Blue is the owner, barber, accountant, and floor sweeper of one of the, if not the only, last of the true barber shops around. He has been cuttin' cats hair there since 1959. He usta cut Charlie Daniels pompadour when he played with the Jaguars and lived in Tulsa. There are two barber chairs that Tulsans have planted there butts in for 51 years. There is a long wood bench where all the fellas set while their waitin' to get there hair cut. I wish I had a dime for every lie that has been swapped on that big hunk of wood. The original Coke machine is so old you have to put a dime in the slot and 65 cents in the little Dixie cup that sits on top, then pull a glass 8oz bottle out of this hole that's the size of a baseball in the lid. I wish I had a dime for every dime that's been poked in that machine. The joint is also air conditioned! I wouldn't lie to you. It says it right in the big front window, with letters that have snow on'um. And here is the kicker, 10 bucks for a hair cut. 10 measly smackers. Hell, Stupid Cuts charges more than that and they suck. Tracy said that I like to go there because it's like Mayberry, and mayberry she's right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But friends, times are tough for us all right now, and Mr. Blue is know exception. Some jackasses stole his 7ft barber pole and not everybody put 65 cents in the cup. Most men now-a-days get there hair cut in a salon by a fat chick with black lip stick, bright pink hair, and a bad attitude or some dude with a lisp name Sweet Peeair and a bad attitude. Think about it, do real men go to a salon? Maybe real men in France, la-te-da. But not me brother, I got to a barber shop, just like my dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust me here friends, I promise you that Jim Blue will give you the best hair cut you have ever had (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;and at the best price&lt;/span&gt;) If you don't agree, I will pay for your hair cut myself. So, step back to a simpler time, drink you a Coke (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;put 65 cents in the cup, please&lt;/span&gt;), swap lies with the fellas, and help preserve a bit of history here in Tulsa. Let Jim Blue cut your hair, you'll be glad you did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim Blues Barber Shop is at 943 S. Pittsburgh. That is half way between Harvard and Yale on 11th St, right behind the sewing machine repair shop. That's on the corner of 11th and Pittsburgh, across the street from the Big Time Pawn Shop. Turn north at the stop light on Pittsburgh. Here is a map to the joint that I personally downloaded on the back of my cut-off notice from the electric company. So don't tell me you couldn't find it. And don't forget to tip, you cheep bastards.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470313111695267442" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-p0ysjCFnI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/zi2AHIRiRuQ/s400/CIMG1510.JPG" /&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This ain't no Geico comercial.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PL-1T9g5-vU&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PL-1T9g5-vU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-p0ysjCFnI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/zi2AHIRiRuQ/s1600/CIMG1510.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-2543173141512729957?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/2543173141512729957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=2543173141512729957' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2543173141512729957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2543173141512729957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/05/jim-blues-barber-shop.html' title='Jim Blue&apos;s Barber Shop ~ A Tulsa Landmark'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S-FPVlgf2CI/AAAAAAAAAYI/CNlb1PkWt6Q/s72-c/CIMG1477.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-2438886673963390222</id><published>2010-05-03T00:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-03T18:38:51.897-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Letter #3</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S96YJHMSgjI/AAAAAAAAAYA/3q0k4YK3n88/s1600/youtube-tv.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 282px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466974279991198258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S96YJHMSgjI/AAAAAAAAAYA/3q0k4YK3n88/s400/youtube-tv.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, here is letter #3 to Youtube.

She lost her mother a couple of years ago, her fathers fighting with cancer, and all the problems that go along with living with me. Not to mention the day to day crap that we all have to deal with. But you know, it's funny how one simple act of kindness can make all off that disappear for while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our house is decorated kinda contemporary (I think it's contemporary, but I'm not to hip on interior decorating lingo) Anyway, our house is decorated with rockets and robots. A couple of weeks ago Tracy and I just got home from somewhere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9lKdckp-vI/AAAAAAAAAXY/n4Qdc49U8Bk/s1600/1003_blast2_fe.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 158px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465481492537408242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9lKdckp-vI/AAAAAAAAAXY/n4Qdc49U8Bk/s200/1003_blast2_fe.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt; when she noticed that Little Ethel Merman (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;who, by the way, is a boy pussycat&lt;/span&gt;) was acting guilty. So she went looking around the house. She stopped looking when she got to the dining room. What she found was that LEM had jumped off the kitchen table and knocked some shelves off the wall. She also found her three 'Cool Rockets' I had bought her, smashed to smithereens on the floor. She tried to glue them back together...she glued them back together...they were doomed. I was never sure if she really liked the 'Cool Rockets' cause Tracy is a NASA girl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;, the Saturn V , Redstone, and SR-71 are her cup-o-tea. 'Cool Rockets' are more like 1950's sci-fi, comic book rockets. After her seeing them all mashed, I could tell that she really liked them. She was very upset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 92px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465494144600930242" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9lV95Lqd8I/AAAAAAAAAXg/9ahW5KQLEd8/s320/1001_moon_fe.gif" /&gt;'Cool Rockets' are the creations of a cat named Jeff Brewer. Besides being an artist extraordinaire, Jeff works as a model maker for the film and commerical television industry. His film credits include, Nightmare Before Christmas - Men in Black - James and The Giant Peach - Starship Troopers - Star Trek VIII-First Contact - Star Wars Episode I - Pearl Harbor, and so on and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, a few days after the big crash of 2010, I ordered her a new rocket from his website. I wrote the story about how I found out she liked the rockets in a comment box strategically placed on the site. And guess what? I get an e-mail from Jeff Brewer himself. He gave his condolence's, said he was a dog person, and that he would mail her rocket that day. How cool was that? Mr. bigity big shot Hollywood model man sent me a personal &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;e-mail. Pretty cool I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now, a couple of days ago Tracy calls me from her office and tells me that she got rockets in the mail (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that's where I had it sent&lt;/span&gt;) and that she loves them both. Both? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I only ordered one rocket, see it seems that Jeff sent her a rocket to go with the one I ordered. Why? I guess because Jeff Brewer is one bad ass dude, that's why. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now, I didn't tell Tracy that cause I wanted it to look like I bought her two, cause two rockets are always better than one rocket....Kidding, kidding, I'm pullin' your leg. I told her all about the e-mail and Jeff's response. She is very happy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Let me ask you friends, who does that? Jeff sent her an $80.00 dollar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9lXOSP3XVI/AAAAAAAAAXw/FQO5LCLuBa8/s1600/1005_bolts_blast_fe.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 151px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465495525718973778" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9lXOSP3XVI/AAAAAAAAAXw/FQO5LCLuBa8/s320/1005_bolts_blast_fe.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt; rocket for nothin'. Out of the goodness of his Hollywood heart. Who does that kind of thing? Nobody that's who. Except for Jeff Brewer......and Tracy. Remember the story I wrote about the little African kid and the clothes she bought for him or her donating two turkeys instead of one at Thanksgiving, or buying all those cleaning supplies for the homeless family that got a home, or scrounging up a VCR for the DHS kids who had a bunch of old tapes donated to them, or giving the homeless guy ten bucks instead of one dollar, or a million other stories about her I could tell? Charity stories, damn it, charity stories (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I tell the other stories too, but this ain't the time or the place&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have always said that I don't believe that what goes around, comes around, b&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ut Jeff Brewer has proven me wrong with one simple act of kindness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;So, go to his web site and buy somethin', or at least go look around, then buy somethin'. There are some pretty cool rockets there. And while your lookin' around, remember what a swingin' cat Jeff Brewer is and the very nice thing he did for my gal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks, Jeff. Thanks for more than you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.coolrockets.com/"&gt;ht&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;tp://www.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;coolrockets.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is some rocket junk.&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B707Ava4wrY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B707Ava4wrY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YNrJkpwrnFY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YNrJkpwrnFY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adios&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;PS The three rockets pictured above are like the one's Little Ethel Merman busted. And I'm pretty sure Jeff has records of the stuff people have bought from the 'Cool Rockets' website, so don't any of you jackasses go writin' him letters about how your pet spider monkey chewed the fin of your 'Space Tub' and you want a free one, for Christs sake. He won't fall for it. Trust me, he won't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-2179361049566302649?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/2179361049566302649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=2179361049566302649' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2179361049566302649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2179361049566302649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/04/jeff-brewer-cool-rockets-and-one-simple.html' title='Jeff Brewer, Cool Rockets, and One Simple Act of Kindness'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9lak70-2mI/AAAAAAAAAX4/2XmAbzQICMo/s72-c/LEM.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-41056750206453708</id><published>2010-04-26T14:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-26T18:47:07.185-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Velvet Revolver vs American Idol</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9YGXX6HXRI/AAAAAAAAAWY/B7MepsL3FpE/s1600/velvet_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 270px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 270px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464562196485201170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S9YGXX6HXRI/AAAAAAAAAWY/B7MepsL3FpE/s400/velvet_l.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;------------------------------&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Velvet Revolver&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along time ago, in another life, this chick I knew was making me watch American Idol. Now, those of you who know me, know how I feel about American Idol, but she wanted me to see something that would change my mind. Bo &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bice&lt;/span&gt;. Bo &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bice&lt;/span&gt;? Well, I watched Bo &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bice&lt;/span&gt; and thought I was gonna puke. I looked at her and was completely amazed that she was so incredibly stupid to think I would like that shit. Fla-ber-gass-ted. That's what I was. Bo &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bice&lt;/span&gt;. "He rocks!" she said. "He sucks!" I shot back. Well, later that evening, this was on Leno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WoJ3MpIDJ9c&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WoJ3MpIDJ9c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;What perfect timing. Now, it's not that I'm a huge Velvet Revolver fan, but everything about this clip bleeds rock and roll. From Scott dancing around to Slash hopping around in circles. But when Slash put his foot up on the monitor, I looked at her and said "Are you watching this? That's rock and roll.

And I could really careless who is first round, but the last pick is somethin' different. This year, the 255th over all pick, by Detroit, was Weber States (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I didn't know there was a state named Weber. Pronounced Weee-bur&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) 5'10" 185lb wide receiver Timmy Toone. Now listen neighbors, I really like this guy (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ha ha,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;not that way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) I don't know if he can make it in the NFL or not but I sure hope he does for the simple fact that he is a fast white guy with dread locks. I'm not quite sure why I like that but I'm not quite sure why I like a lot of the things I like. I like his attitude too. When asked about being the first Wee-bur State receiver to go over 3000 yards he said "...It just shows the accomplishment of our team...It just means we have (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) great line, great quarterback. You know, their out there doing their job..." There isn't enough of that kinda of attitude any more. Remember Barry Sanders? In college a reporter said to Barry "If you keep going like you are, you will be the greatest running back in the history of college football." Barry replied "Maybe we just have the greatest offensive line in the history of college football." (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;He played for the Detroit Lions also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) And as for being the last picked, remember Thurman Thomas? He was thought to be a first round pick. ESPN had a live crew at his house to film the monument us occasion. Well, the first round came and went and Thurman fell asleep on TV. He was finally picked 40th in the second round. Thurman made a vow to make every team that passed him up sorry. I think he did. So, good luck Timmy, giv'um hell and make'um sorry, brother. I'm sure there all pullin' for you in the great state of Weber. (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Where ever in the hell that is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Heeeeere's Timmy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yrFeciiS_Uw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yrFeciiS_Uw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;and Thurman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MG7KDMBeAyk&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MG7KDMBeAyk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;and Barry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0TflnHlQMt8&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0TflnHlQMt8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Ps Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas both went to college at Oklahoma State University.

You see, I heard today that my friend Brian Partons sister, Lisa, past away. I haven't seen Brian in a while and I have been thinking a lot about him today. You know, if you never got to see the Nashville Rebels play you sure missed out. Their live shows always delivered. Brian is a great showman, a great singer, a great song writer, and a great guitar player. Dave 'Skin Tight' White is Tulsa's premier bass player, and Billy Earl 'Bad Ass' Padgett is the most entertaining drummer around. Together those two make the best rhythm section you have ever heard. The Rebels, in my opinion, were one of the best bands Tulsa has ever put out. They are up there with the Shakers, Steve Pryor and the Mighty King Snakes, and the Jim Strader Quartet. And you would find Lisa at most of the Rebel gigs dancing like crazy. And believe me, Lisa had no problem letting you know how great her brother was. Sisters are great fans. My thoughts are with Brian. Hang in there you rockin' m-m-m-mutha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;This is the first tune I heard by Brian Parton and the Nashville Rebels. I heard it on the juke box at Caz's, and I was hooked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uUn00VAdsF0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uUn00VAdsF0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please Don't Touch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_MdjK8hDHkw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_MdjK8hDHkw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the lyrics in the song.&lt;br /&gt;...Were goin' out for an evening&lt;br /&gt;gonna do a little sleezin'&lt;br /&gt;where they rock like fiends...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3V_sgVSOgCk&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3V_sgVSOgCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.myspace.com/brianparton1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you see Brian out playin' somewhere tell him Eddy says 'hey' and ask him to tell you the 'Sex Machine' story.

Have you guys decided to put my video back yet? I wish you would just admit you were wrong and put it back where it was. Did you geniuses even watch my video? Tell me what parts were "offensive" so I will not make the same mistake in the future, because I don't know. I sure don't want to get another Community Strike, oh the shame! I bet if you tell me what parts that you consider "offensive" I can find ten (10) worse examples that are on Sietuben...sorry, I mean Youtube. I think you should browse around your site a bit. I'll help, check out 'hot ass' or 'big ass' or 'ass shakin' or 'butt shakin' or 'bubble butt' or 'bubble ass' or 'bubble ass butt' or 'double bubble ass butt', or' 'double bubble ass butt shakin' or just plain ol' ass butt'.

Now, this is not to be confused with 'The Greatest Story Ever Told', this is the 'most greatest' story ever told. See the difference? This doesn't have to do with passin' out a bunch of stinky fishes or zombies or nothin', this has to do with my mom and pop. So, with out further ado, her is 'The Most Greatest Story Ever Told'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, many, many, many, years ago, when I was somewhere around 16 or 17, I was in the Gilcrease Museum gift shop with my mom and pop. We had already been through the museum and were about ready to leave. Mom was off some where, talking to some complete stranger about God knows what, and pop and I were just standin' around doin' nothin' but waitin' on mom. All of a sudden here is mom and she is holding this fancy Indian necklace. Mom showed it to pop and said "Isn't this beautiful?" and pop did his trade mark 'open his eyes wide and jerk his head' move and replied "Boy howdy!" Then mom toddles off to tell the clerk some story that she could careless about (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Now you know where I get it from&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes here comes mom and she asks if we are ready to go. Pop asked her if she bought that necklace and mom replied "No" then informed pop that it was 900 smack-a-roos. Pop said with out hesitation "Oh, you need the check book" and reaches into his front shirt pocket to retrieve it (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;He didn't say 'let me buy it for you' or 'would you like to have it' He thought she didn't get it because she didn't have the check book&lt;/span&gt;) Mom said "On no, I don't want it" And we left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am floored. I couldn't imagine that some one could just be throwin' around 900 bucks like that. He must be a some kinda millionaire or somethin', I thought. So I'm thinkin' if 900 dollarenies is nothin' to pop, maybe he will just give it to me. We left mom at the entrance of the joint while we went to get the car. Time to put my plan into action, I said "You know, since mom doesn't want that necklace, can I have the 900 donuts, pop....I mean...father? All I got was a non emotional, matter of fact, "No". Heck, he wasn't even lookin' at me, he was rubberneckin' around lookin' for the stupid car. As we pulled the Chrysler New Yorker around to pick up mom he tells me this story...not in the stupid way I'm tellin' y'all, but in his 'just the facts, get to the point' way of his. Pops way may be better, but he ain't here. Here is the story in the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, many, many, many, many, many, years ago, about 1949, lived a young couple named George and Betty. Now, George was fresh outta the Army Air Corp and WWII and Betty was fresh outta High school. George was from the country. He grew up during the depression in the oil fields some where between Olive and Oilton, Ok. And when I say country I mean if he wanted a glass of water, he didn't get it from some gadget squirtin' cold water and crushed ice that was built into the refrigerator door. He had to get a glass and go outside and pump water out of the bowles of the earth. Betty was from the city, Drumrite. She also grew up during the depression, but being from the big city, she had running water in her house. They now lived in an apartment on 6th and Rockford in Tulsa. Of course those two kids were married, because people didn't live together back then with out bein' hitched, cause if they did they would go to hell and they didn't want that. They had no car and no money. Not to mention, no big flat screen TV, microwave, computer, ipod, Sham Wow's, George Forman grill, or cell phones. If you wanted to call some one, not only did you have to actually know the number, but you had to physically dial it on a wheel with a bunch of holes in it. Ziiiip tick tick tick tick tick, ziiiip tick tick tick tick tick, ziiiip tick tick tick tick tick. It musta been a living hell back then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Times were tough for those two. They rode the bus to and from work. Betty had just started working for the phone company and George worked at Retail Credit. They could barely make ends meet. One time after paying their bills, all that was left was one (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;) dime. That's it, one stinking dime. This was all they had for the rest of the week. One stupid dime. Betty put the dime in the desk drawer. To make things worse, all they had to eat was a big bowl of macaroni salad. So for the next four days those two kids got up in the morning, ate a couple of spoonfuls of macaroni salad, walked to work, worked all day, walked home, ate a couple more spoonfuls, and went to bed. Friday, or better 'payday' finally came. They got up, ate a couple of spoonfuls, got ready to leave and opened the door to a rain storm. George went to the desk drawer and grabbed the dime. He told Betty to take the bus to work and on his lunch break he would run (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;literally&lt;/span&gt;) to the bank and cash his check so they could stop at the grocery store on their way home and get some food. Betty looked at George and said (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;This is great&lt;/span&gt;) "If your walking in the rain, I'm walking in the rain." And that's what they did friends, they walked to work in the rain...together. As they walked, George desided that he would go to college on the G.I. bill so he could a job that paid enough so this wouldn't happen again. And as he looked at his rain soaked bride, he made a silent promise to himself. He promised that when he got out of school and got that better paying job that he would never say 'no' to her. George did get out of school and become a engineer. He has designed, engineered, and built things, from skyscrapers to rockets. He is retired now, but still keeps his professional engineers license, number 5949, up to date. George and Betty have been married for over 63 years, and to this day he is still keeping his promise. And Betty, well she retired from the phone company and is still tellin' complete strangers the most interesting stories. She has never had to walk in the rain again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had never heard this story before that day. Mom filled in the blanks for me later but she never knew about the promise pop had made. But that's my father. It makes me wonder how many young brides today would walk in the rain. But that's my mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But on a sad note, pop didn't make any kind of promise to never say 'no' to his future son. He has no problem saying 'no' to me. Probably cause he knows I would have taken the stupid dime and got on the stupid bus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And something else, mom, has never, and I mean never ever made macaroni salad again. Cross my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, you tell me, is that not the most greatest story ever told?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are a few of the things pop was invoved with. Also, he was head engineer during the construction of the ONEOK building (the house that George built) at the top of the page.

Well, not exactly 'splittin', more like steelin' each others stuff. As a matter of fact they have been so busy steelin' each others stuff that they forgot to watch their stuff, so now they each have the other ones stuff and none of their own stuff. She has his multi meter and he has her make-up. He has her TV and she has his car (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;which she stole last night cause she totaled hers trying to follow him on the highway&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) She destroyed the safe that he had borrowed from me (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that means it was my safe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) And in the proses I have lost my Sony flat screen monitor, 32' flat screen TV, Walter P-380 pistol, surveillance camera, my watch, and a box of checks. Fortunately, I still have my Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry II, which I'm gonna show some one real soon if I don't get my shit back. Remember what Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd said? "I'm tellin' you son. That it ain't no fun, starin' straight down a .44" Well, I don't have a .44 I have a .45 and some west side crack head is gonna wind up on the business end it soon enough. Tweekin', mullet wearin', toothless, inbreed, Dale Earnhardt lovin', Metallica lisnin', high school dropin' out, bunch of worthless fucks. I WANT MY STUFF BACK!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what job I want? I want to be a 12th grade teacher on the west side. How sweet would that be? Hell, the parents over there are proud if there kids make it through 10th grade with out ODin' or being arrested. Stupid, non tooth brushin', Jiffy Lube workin', welfare gittin', 5 kid havin', junky car drivin', no insurance havin', bags of monkey shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kimber Ultra Carry II&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IqBW4S630YY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IqBW4S630YY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is how I feel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EXwNaKM1yM0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EXwNaKM1yM0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adios,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-1737577837991204874?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/1737577837991204874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=1737577837991204874' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1737577837991204874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1737577837991204874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-stuff.html' title='My Stuff'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S7hF_z40PsI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/9T-zOlJx__I/s72-c/mullet-man.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-2348463082632241959</id><published>2010-03-25T11:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-26T16:55:39.702-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Johnny Blitz and The Dead Boys</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S6vnuVYXWEI/AAAAAAAAAVI/B2AJsKq9zpg/s1600/111aaa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452706557061453890" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S6vnuVYXWEI/AAAAAAAAAVI/B2AJsKq9zpg/s400/111aaa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;___________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Dead Boys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Clockwise from&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; top left corner is Johnny Blitz, Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, and Jeff Magnum.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just came across this old video of the Dead Boys doin' a song called 'Ain't it Fun'. The cat that put the video on You Tubes name is Johnny Blitz77. Now, everybody knows that Johnny Blitz was the drummer for the Dead Boys, that goes with out saying, but I don't know if it is the same Johnny Blitz. I'm gonna pretend that it is the real Johnny Blitz, and that were friends and he is always askin' me for advice on things and that &lt;/em&gt;I'm&lt;em&gt; always bummin' dope from him. Who ever it is tho, put a bushel of DB songs on there. Right on and keep it up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back in 1912, Me, Dave 'Church-well' Churchwell (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;drums&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;), Kirk 'Mr. Fit' Rankin (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;guitar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;), and Ruff Ruff That's Not Original (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;bass...kinda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) played in what is probably the greatest, and at the same time, the worst band in Tulsa, 'The Vivisectionists' We usta play 'Ain't it Fun' to the enjoyment and entertainment of literally tens of people. I hadn't heard it in years. Man, all the memories it brought back, that hot summer, laughing non stop, Bongo Sillys, any who, a bonanza of pennies, laughing until I cried, being young and indestructible, punk rock, Kirk being M.I.A., writing 'The Vivisectionists Suck' in big letters on the Dance Cafe bathroom wall, more laughing, the Ramones, and being naive enough to believe that dreams can come true. I still love this song. Man, life was a blast back then.....I think.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are Stiv, Cheetah, Johnny, Jimmy, and Jeff...The Dead Boys and 'Ain't It Fun' &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ERuj2ekiwUI&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ERuj2ekiwUI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Ain't it fun when you're always on the run&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you've become&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you get so high that you, well you just can't cum&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young&lt;br /&gt;It's such fun... such fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you're taking care of number one&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you j.j.j. just can't seem to find your tongue&lt;br /&gt;Cause you stuck it to deep into something that really stung&lt;br /&gt;It's such fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well somebody come up to me they spit right in my face&lt;br /&gt;But I didn't even feel it, it was such a disgrace&lt;br /&gt;I punched my fist right through the glass&lt;br /&gt;But I didn't even feel it, it all happened so fast&lt;br /&gt;It's such fun, such fun, such...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a cunt&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when she splits and leaves you the bum&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you've broken up every band that you've ever begun&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young&lt;br /&gt;It's such fun, such fun, such...&lt;br /&gt;Having a real fun time, such fun, such fun&lt;br /&gt;No Fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We also did the second song on this clip 'Ain't Nothin' To Do'.

Every body acts like the crime rate will triple if we cut the police fat a bit. Well, maybe we do have to many cops, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;didja&lt;/span&gt; ever think of that? Maybe they were gonna let the ones go who are always hanging out in the '&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Quik&lt;/span&gt; Trips' &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;givin&lt;/span&gt;' me the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ol&lt;/span&gt;' stink eye when I walk in at night. Maybe they were gonna get rid of the jack ass who acted like I was waisting his time when I got my tail gate stolen (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;which they never found I might add&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) Maybe they were gonna lay of the prick that threatened to throw me I jail just because I questioned why a 'public intoxication' ticket goes on your driving record, even tho my car was in the next county. Hell, I wasn't even drunk. I was given the choice to take what was behind door number one (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;public &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;intox&lt;/span&gt; ticket = 50 bucks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) or the box Carol Merrel was holding (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;go to jail for &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;lude&lt;/span&gt; misconduct&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) You see, deputy Monte Hall caught me taking a whiz behind the Stables Lounge. He also caught Greg Thompson, but that dudes a fireman, so what does he Greg get Johnny? Well deputy Monte Hall, Greg gets (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;drum roll&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) a...brand...new...nothin'! I took door number one and the ticket. Maybe they were gonna can that deal &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;makin&lt;/span&gt;' piece of crap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had my guns stolen, my car stereo ripped, my tools pinched, my house &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;burgled&lt;/span&gt;, my tail gate lifted, etc, etc, etc. And the only thing I ever got from the cops was a handful of tickets and a few lumps on my noodle. And I'm sure if any one of Tulsa's finest get a hold of this little note, I will get pulled over for an improper lane change and they will find 4 pounds of heroin, a couple of boxes full of child &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;pornography&lt;/span&gt;, and a dead body in my trunk. The report will say that I resisted (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;of course&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) so it should be no surprise that I'll get my ass &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;tazed&lt;/span&gt;, maced, and billy clubbed with in an inch of my life. You can bet that my &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;celly&lt;/span&gt; will be the biggest, meanest, homosexual in the jail, and that no one will have heard &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;nothin&lt;/span&gt;' while I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;braided&lt;/span&gt; my roll of toilet paper into a rope and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;proceeded&lt;/span&gt; to hang myself from the top bunk. It's been nice &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;knowin&lt;/span&gt;' y'all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure it will look &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;sometin&lt;/span&gt;' like this.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZxYPjMldna0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZxYPjMldna0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Guess where I'm &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;goin&lt;/span&gt;'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Ss1nFdI09k&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Ss1nFdI09k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Check this out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Co0D15daa3s&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Co0D15daa3s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-7150381805629209501?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/7150381805629209501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=7150381805629209501' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/7150381805629209501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/7150381805629209501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/03/quik-trip-is-new-donut-shop.html' title='&apos;Quik Trip&apos; Is The New Donut Shop'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S5OrTimkHII/AAAAAAAAAUo/7g2NBMdZe5w/s72-c/MeanCop2_vu.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-5118121580783861455</id><published>2010-02-27T05:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-27T05:51:01.768-08:00</updated><title type='text'>NEWS FLASH</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;BREAKING NEWS!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The bosses at the Arrvest Bank thought it would be in their best intrest to &lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;NOT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; let me talk to Mr. Biggity Big Shot.

You see, I deposited a check from and investment company last Tuesday. On Wednesday I called the bank to get my balance to make sure that their numbers jived with mine. Low and behold, I'm over drawn. What?!?! It seems that my wonderful bank put a hold on the check until March 4th, (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The deposit was on February 24th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) but they didn't tell me. They have never held a check of mine before with out letting me know about it. Now, not getting any satisfaction from the gal I was talking to, I asked to talk to her boss. The nice lady told me that her boss would tell me the same thing...which he did. So, I asked to talk to his boss, who was conveniently out of the office. Soooo, I called back this morning. The boss was busy, I was told. Sooooooo, I asked to talk to the bosses boss. That dude says "But that is the regional president". "Perfect!" I said "That sounds like a cat who can get things done!" I told him. He puts me on hold for a while then tells me that his secretaries line is busy. Busy??? "I'll hold" I told him. Now I'm on hold for about 5 minutes when that fella comes back on and asked me what my phone number was so that they could have him (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Mr. Bigshot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) call me back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still waiting. I figure that eventually somebody won't want my dumb ass to talk to their boss and they will release my damn check. We'll see.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;If I do get to talk to the 'regional president', I think I'm gonna ask him if he digs Rory Gallagher...which he will...cause...well...doesn't everybody?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/33Jaodra7AY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/33Jaodra7AY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrvest come out to play-yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cRrbx0YdFZY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cRrbx0YdFZY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-6871431958517420325?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/6871431958517420325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=6871431958517420325' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6871431958517420325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6871431958517420325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/02/eddy-and-arrvest-bank-throw-down.html' title='Eddy and Arrvest Bank Throw Down!'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S4hDTlW8KvI/AAAAAAAAAUg/2Pc4eKcGhWA/s72-c/pow.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-6933740490175341031</id><published>2010-02-19T13:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-20T22:56:00.848-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The I.R.S Stormtroopers</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S38fkCzUlDI/AAAAAAAAAUY/-J1W6-0dZL8/s1600-h/111.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440101578974729266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 307px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S38fkCzUlDI/AAAAAAAAAUY/-J1W6-0dZL8/s400/111.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Stand by for a word from the head of the Internal &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Revenue&lt;/span&gt; Service&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;You must pay your estimated taxes quarterly but not in equal quarters, the first quarter will only be 2 months, which doesn't really make it a quarter, but we will call it a quarter even tho it's not. Don't screw this up or you will pay for it for the rest of your life.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello Friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a note about A. Joseph Stack III. He's the half-wit that flew a Piper PA-28 (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that's a teeny tiny little four seat plane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) into the IRS building in Austin, TX. I guess that Joe wrote some long drawn out manifesto to explain why he was doing this and how he hated the I.R.S. You know, it seems that no one really noticed Joe when he was alive, so why would he think we would listen to him after he joined the choir invisible? I can sum up his rambling rant in three words for y'all. I'll make it real simple. Ready? He's an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ijit&lt;/span&gt;! There you go, easy as you please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe wrote 'the only thing that matters is a body count', or something along those lines. Well, Joe got a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;whopping&lt;/span&gt; two bodies to count...if you count his stupid mangled corpse, that is. It seems he is a big a screw up in death as he was in life. Let me break it down for you, you see, a Boeing 767 (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;like the one that hit tower one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) holds about 30,000 gallons of fuel...give or take. A Piper PA-28 holds roughly 50 gallons. Now, I am not a smart man but even my little pea brain can do the math here. Also, the plane that hit tower one was going about 500 mph. A PA-28 does about 148 mph. It's a good thing that Stack wasn't smart enough to pick a better way to get a 'body count'. It sucks the he killed a guy. I don't know who he was, but he was probably just some poor sap who was just tiring to get by like the rest of us. You accomplished nothing Joe, you moron. Well....I guess you did do one thing good, now the world is less one stupid person, and I don't mean the other guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as far as the I.R.S. is concerned...well...to put it bluntly... they're a bunch of Nazis. If you have ever had them on your ass, your in trouble man. Butchers! I understand how Joe Stack felt cause I've been there. Those f**&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;kers&lt;/span&gt; will beat you and beat you and beat down and wont let you up. It doesn't matter how bad you want to fix the situation, they give you no options except getting deeper in the hole. It is the worst feeling in the world when there seems to be no way out. You can't sleep at night. It makes you sick to your stomach. You are constantly being crushed by the weight of helplessness and despair, but flying a Piper into the I.R.S. office is not the answer. I don't know what the answer is, but it ain't that. That much I do know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hYpAYWqiwo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hYpAYWqiwo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;~e~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-6933740490175341031?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/6933740490175341031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=6933740490175341031' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6933740490175341031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6933740490175341031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/02/irs-stormtroopers.html' title='The I.R.S Stormtroopers'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S38fkCzUlDI/AAAAAAAAAUY/-J1W6-0dZL8/s72-c/111.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-348345663732595202</id><published>2010-02-18T11:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-19T06:15:56.656-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Arthur Fonzarelli, Johnny Weir, and the Gay Ducks</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S32hlQRDepI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/fYTSv-jKmdI/s1600-h/JW.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439681586327157394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S32hlQRDepI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/fYTSv-jKmdI/s400/JW.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sick to death of all this politically correct crap. See, I guess these two Australian sports commentators made a crack about men's figure skating, "They don't leave anything in the locker room, these blokes, do they?" Then the other dude said "They don't leave anything in the closet, either, do they?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's so bad about that? It's even kinda funny. They didn't say "Let's go string one up!" or "They're all gonna go strait to hell!" or "Those sick fruities should be boiled in liquid whip-its." did they? Every body needs to lighten up for Christs sake. I put grease on my hair and have big side burns. You don't think I haven't heard my fair share of Elvis, Fonzie, and truck driver jokes. I don't care, cause I kinda look like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, after all the complaining and bitching from all the 'offended' folks, those guys apologized. The first one said "I made a joke that was a bit off-color. Some of the crew here didn't like it either. I suggested that there was a disaster happening at the ice skating rink because organizers had found out one of the male ice dancers wasn't gay. I apologize for that really sincerely." Then the other cat said "But it definitely wasn't this guy" then cutting to a shot of champion American figure skater Johnny Weir in a pink and black outfit that resembled a corset. That's pretty funny, I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because it walks like a gay duck and talks like a gay duck and dresses like a gay duck and acts like a gay duck, doesn't necessarily mean it's a gay duck. But it shouldn't be surprised if some of the other barn yard animals call it a homo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because it walks like fat, 70's, jumpsuit Elvis and talks like a hillbilly and dresses like Jerry Reed in that Smokey and the Bandit movie, doesn't mean it's a over weight, screwed up, idiot. But it shouldn't be surprised if some of the other barn yard animals call it Eddy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I've gone and done it. Not only have I offended the 'gay' community but I've offended the 'me' community ta boot. I hate when I have to boycott and picket myself. Well, I better gitta making me a sign. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;DOWN WITH FAKE FONZARELLI!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna do a little braggin' here but I would say that I own the best collection of truck drivin' records it this here state. I know your all jealous of that, and I'm sorry for rubbin' it in, but it's true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here are two of my fav-O-rites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Double clutchin' weasel.

Some how my unlimited calls for $49.00 has turned into unlimited calls for 230 smackers. I'm not sure how this is gonna pan out, but you can bet your bottom dollar I will end up on the short end of the stick by the time this fiasco is over with. You know, I got a cricket phone cause 1) it was unlimited calls, text, and long distance for one set price, and 2) cause the Cricket joint was right by my house, and it would have taken a little effort to go some where else. At that time I didn't realize that a persons social status could be based on their cell phone provider, but apparently it can. I couldn't understand why, until after I got a gander at the freak show waiting to get in to that place (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;I always pay my bill by phone so I don't get to hang out here much&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) It appears that theory has got some merit slapped on it. Christ, am I one of them? I feel like a cross between Albert Einstein and Brad Pitt in that group of side show oddities. And friends let me tell you, I'm not smart or good lookin'. So now, this has got me to thinkin' (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;Were back to the crossroads thing now. Try and keep up, please&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) I am at the lowest level, of the bottom level, of my life levels. No job, my relationship is on the skids, I'm broke, my truck is worn out, I am over weight, and on and on and so forth. So, I am giving myself one year to get my life back in order. This book will be my journal for the next 12 months, to see if I can turn things around. The way I see it, I don't have much choice. So friends, I'm givin' you a ticket to witness, first hand, my flight over the rainbow and ascend in to the heavens or to watch a crappy ol' farm house mash me into the ground while a bunch of midgets dance the merengue. Let's all see how this whole mess I have created is gonna turn out, shall we?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;This is kinda like watching Evil Knievel jump over a bunch of buses or somethin'. You know he has a chance to make it, but in back of your mind you know he will probably wind up rupturing his spline and telescoping his stupid spine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, by the way, the Cricket people made a mistake on my phone bill and I didn't owe the 230 bucks after all. Things are lookin' up already!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;*********************************************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYGGCVE2lKY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYGGCVE2lKY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Here is a little song for y'all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Ln8jVOkMPk&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Ln8jVOkMPk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-2601739527453968616?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/2601739527453968616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=2601739527453968616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2601739527453968616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/2601739527453968616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/02/hello-friends-well-here-is-bit-of-rough.html' title='&apos;Drowning In The Shallow End Of The Dream Pool&apos; Part 1'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S3RHxG2wL-I/AAAAAAAAAUI/E7DakRsq244/s72-c/ep6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-3701144539860487357</id><published>2010-02-05T14:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T16:10:22.868-08:00</updated><title type='text'>9/11 Conspiracy Questions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S2yrgeCZJhI/AAAAAAAAAUA/-Kamq45brpo/s1600-h/towers-of-light.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434907424636610066" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S2yrgeCZJhI/AAAAAAAAAUA/-Kamq45brpo/s400/towers-of-light.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched this show the other day about how the United States government was responsible for the terror attacks on 9/11. I watched some snot nosed kid, who made some crappy You Tube movie, and a few other crack pots go back and forth with a professor from M.I.T. and the head of engineering at Purdue University. Now, since I'm not so smart as y'all, I have a couple of question I wish some one would clear up for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;) These bone heads, who call them selves 'truthers' (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;is that grammatically correct?&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;em&gt;say that a plane wasn't flown in to the Pentagon, rather that it was hit with a cruise missile. Now my question is, how and where did the government murder all the passengers and crew of flight 77? And how did they stuff the bodies into the building after the explosion or did they covertly plant them in there before it blew up? I think some one would have noticed a truck load of corpses being delivered, don't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;) The truthers claim that the planes that hit the twin towers were remote control and the buildings were brought down by a 'controlled demolition'. Wouldn't it have been easier to leave the planes out of the equation and just say that Mohammad Atta put a bomb in the janitors closet or down in the pump room?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;) And as far as the 'controlled demolition' is concerned, they say the reason there were no detonators found was because the government used some secrete explosive device that nobody knows about. Well....I hate to look stupider, but how the hell do they know about it if nobody knows about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;) They say that Flight 93 was faked. I guess they murdered those guys at the same place as the cats from Flight 77, but what I don't get is, why fake a crash in a field? Why wouldn't you crash it in to something important also?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;) Here is a good one, aren't fellas from M.I.T. and Purdue more smarter than a gaggle of blithering idiots?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;) And lastly, how is it that all the people involved in this thing can keep there fat traps shut? I don't know one person that can keep a secrete, much less hundreds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well friends, I hope someone out there can help me out with this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I think that some people are afraid to think that something as horrific as the actions that occurred on 9/11 could be as simple as some asshole flying a plane into a building. They don't want to believe it could be that easy. Because, if it is that easy, then whats gonna happen tomorrow?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here is a song about flying on plane.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qsnUu71Viyo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qsnUu71Viyo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff99;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-3701144539860487357?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/3701144539860487357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=3701144539860487357' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3701144539860487357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3701144539860487357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/02/911-conspiracy-questions.html' title='9/11 Conspiracy Questions'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S2yrgeCZJhI/AAAAAAAAAUA/-Kamq45brpo/s72-c/towers-of-light.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-3253012371206157215</id><published>2010-01-12T15:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-20T19:46:03.861-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Activia, Nutrisystem, and the Snake</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S1D1terkgrI/AAAAAAAAAT4/WqRsMm7hTDs/s1600-h/Stabler,Ken20.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 319px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427107712660177586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/S1D1terkgrI/AAAAAAAAAT4/WqRsMm7hTDs/s400/Stabler,Ken20.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;--------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Kenny 'the Snake' Stabler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello Friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My pop has a plethora of sayings, and two of them are ~&lt;br /&gt;1) Ignorance runs ramped.&lt;br /&gt;B) There are more stupid people than there are smart people.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ou may fall in to this category, so pay attention &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;For example, if you don't know what a word or phrase means, then ask some one or look it up. Just because Activia yogurt has 'Bifidus Regularis' doesn't mean it's good for you. Hell, for all you know, Bifidus Regularis, could be Latino for a bunch of mashed up worms or somethin'. Or that Nutrisystem uses the 'glisemic index'. What the hell is that? That sounds like something I was suppose to do on my senior term paper...but didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't fall for the "It's real man food" B.S. If Danny boy Marino was a real man he would have won a Super Bowl. You wouldn't catch Kenny Stabler doing a Nutrisystem commercial...unless they start a cocaine and hooker program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Count me in, Snake!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Also, it looks like Lawrence Taylor is back on crack....it's sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If some diet plan, money makin' scheme, or fancy work out gizmo tells you that "It's easy!" or "You can eat what ever you want!" or "Good as new!" or "Make a million dollars for doing nothing!" or "Lose weight while watching TV!" or "Get your bachelors degree in physics in three weeks, on-line!" or "Works in seconds and holds up to 1000 pounds!" or "We can't do this all day!" or "I lost 127 bounds in 8 minutes!" or "And now, because I attended Shifties get rich seminar, I earn $15,000.00 every half hour!" or "It can't fail, it has 'Lowsiferius Bluclride Fossfate' added!" or "I got this rock hard stomach by eating lard and playing peaknuckle with the boys!" or "Don't accept imitations. These are real Diamells" or "Buy this, you idget!", if they say one of those, don't buy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, just because they "double" the offer, doesn't mean it's a good deal. As a matter of fact, two pieces of crap are worse than one piece of crap.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffff66;"&gt;New and improved? How the hell can it be 'new' AND 'improved'? And what were you selling me before, a sub par product?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't be stupid! If you think that the girls on those late night chat line commercials are the girls you'll be a chatin' with, then you are not gonna be much help with advancing the human race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THINK! Question everything. If it sounds to good to be true......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;The Snake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6uIdMEn9Jfg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6uIdMEn9Jfg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When Axl Rose told Kurt Cobain he was going to "take him to the pavement" back stage at the MTV Music Awards Show (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Kurt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;was holding his new born daughter at the time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) Lar's (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;the guitar player with the yellow shirt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) said "What abut me, Hansel?".

type='text'>Trenton 'Dozer' Beaver</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, today I was gonna write and tell y'all a bit about my book 'Drowning In The Shallow End Of The Dream Pool' and give y'all a couple of lines from it....but....let me back up a smidgen. Everything I write, I write in my e-mail. That way I can access it from any PC and if Squeaky Pete decided to crash and burn, I would still have it. So, today I go to my e-mail and I see that my friend Judi was asked to send out a prayer request from a old classmate, Joe Miller. This is what it said... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...Tenton "Dozer" Beaver....has been diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme that has only been diagnosed in just a dozen or so children. In early December, Trenton started experiencing seizures which sent him to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa.....Dozer had brain surgery and the doctor gave the family the most devastating and horrible news that parent or grand parent could hear. Dozer had 3 malignant brain tumors, two were operable with no promises and the other one was too deep to get to without permanently destroying all motor skills on the left side of his body. The biopsy revealed a very aggressive, rare form of cancer with a harsh prognosis, they basically told them to take Dozer home and let him enjoy his Christmas because without a miracle this would most likely be his last.....Dozer could sure use any extra prayers anyone could spare to send up in his behalf. Thanks in advance for all your help.....a Care Page set up in Dozers name so if any one wants to read and follow his progress, please feel free to do so...Here is the link to his page.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.carepages.com/carepages/TrentonBeaver"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.carepages.com/carepages/TrentonBeaver&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I went to this web site to check on Trenton 'Dozer' and this what I read...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;...Trenton is back in the hospital and having a tough day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Please pray for peace, rest, and strength for Dozer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Makes my stupid book seem kinda insignificant. The next person I hear bitch about how crappy their Christmas was is gonna hear about Trenton and then get busted right in the teeth, I swear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my friends, what ever you do to channel your powers, whether it's praying or chanting or dancing around the camp fire, get to doin' it. Even if you don't really believe in anything, just put some positive thoughts out there for Trenton and his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Here is a tune I post from time to time. It means the world to me on so many different levels. I hope you can dig it. This is for Dozer from me and all of my people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9OObiFNaZLg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9OObiFNaZLg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-1690096264276462606?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/1690096264276462606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=1690096264276462606' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1690096264276462606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1690096264276462606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2010/01/trenton-dozer-beaver.html' title='Trenton &apos;Dozer&apos; Beaver'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-1917818900823350541</id><published>2009-12-31T10:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-31T10:50:38.918-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tiger Woods vs. The Taliban</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is great that there have been two crazies try to blow up planes here in the U.S., suicide bombers blasting Americans to kingdom come in Afghanistan, unemployment through the freaking' roof, not to mention all the starving people on our city streets, and all I here from the media is about that stupid Tiger Woods.

Mine was pretty all right. I got to see a couple of people that I haven't seen in a while, which was pretty cool and I didn't end up in the hoosegow like one of my stupid friends did. I guess I'm pretty lucky that I didn't wind up behind bars tho. You see, Scott Jobe and I went to Tahlequah the day before Christmas eve. We hung out with some old friends at Ned's Bar that we went to college with. We had a few drinky winkies (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bushmill's on the rocks for yours truly&lt;/span&gt;) Well, I guess it was 2 or 3 in the morning and I am driving Scott's SUV back to Tulsa while Scott is tossin' some explosives he had gotten' his hands on, out the passenger side window. I mean to tell you, when those babies went off it shook the truck, and hell, we were a quarter of a mile down the road by then. They didn't just go boom, they gave it that double boom...like....boom-KABOOM!!! We were laughing so hard we were crying (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;especially when Scott burnt his thumb...well, I was laughing anyway&lt;/span&gt;) Man, are we lucky we didn't blow ourselves to smithereens. That would have been a nice Christmas gift for my mom, me delivered to her house in a Hefty bag with a big red bow on it. Scott Jobe is a very, very, bad influence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Speaking of Smithereens...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hERot7SrVYo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hERot7SrVYo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;and speakin' of boom boom...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wSnQ0bdHW0s&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wSnQ0bdHW0s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-6182741061476456982?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/6182741061476456982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=6182741061476456982' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6182741061476456982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6182741061476456982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/12/boom-kaboom.html' title='Boom-KABOOM!!!'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SzdaVNIEgkI/AAAAAAAAATo/lQDE8ObWU40/s72-c/jobe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-129332382003261410</id><published>2009-11-26T09:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T01:40:48.791-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanksgiving</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sw-d_-Xi9_I/AAAAAAAAATQ/wTfi1kVYoYM/s1600/Imthank.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 357px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408715399894333426" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sw-d_-Xi9_I/AAAAAAAAATQ/wTfi1kVYoYM/s400/Imthank.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always write my top 10 things I'm thankful for on Thanksgiving. I write a bunch of crap that I think is clever and witty, but more often than not it's simply just that...crap. Then I splash on all of that family, friends, and health, garbage. Let's be truthful, your thankful for these things because you think your suppose to be. Are you really thankful for your family? Deep down inside yourself, where no one can see, deep in the darkness of your soul, where you don't even like to go, don't you sometimes think about how nice it would be if you hadn't gotten married and didn't have any kids? Your a liar if you say you don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like all that be thankful for what you got, guff. 'There are starving kids in China' How hard is it to find someone less fortunate than yourself? If you gotta go all the way to China before finding one....well...it's probably time to fire up the Mercury, climb in, and take a nap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or the 'I'm thankful I'm not as bad off as someone else' junk. I should be thankful I don't have cancer like so-in-so. He's thankful he's not dead like his friend he met at the Cancer Treatment Center of America.

I would tell them 'no', cause I wasn't. Well, last night, I was losing my mind and not being able to sleep, I went and signed up. I still haven't quite figured it out, but I got a message from an old girlfriend of mine. A 27 year old girlfriend. What I mean to say is, she was my girlfriend 27 years ago. That was such a great time in my life. And for her...well, I was her boyfriend so it goes with out saying that she probably considered herself the luckiest girl on the face of the planet. We typed back and forth in that little box thing-a-ma-jig. My typing ain't so swift so our timing got all off and she was answering the question that I wrote two questions before the last answer. I didn't know what the hell she was talking about. I thought she had busted her cerebral cam shaft. Any way, one thing led to another and we are on the phone. We talked about how much fun we had back then, even tho we couldn't remember what we actually did that was so much fun (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;we did remember one thing we did, and it was so much fun we did it a bunch&lt;/span&gt;) Then one day I decided that we should 'see other people', and friends, let me tell you, that's when all the fun came to a screechin' halt. Now then, after about 3 days of 'seeing other people' I realized that I didn't want to see other people, I wanted to have some more fun. But she had a very 'no can do' attitude about having fun with me any more. I was devastated. This was my first, truly broken heart. Then she kicked it around in the dirt a while, covered it in acid, and fed it to a monkey. Good Lord, I was miserable. Anyway (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;back to nowa days&lt;/span&gt;) she told me that she was happily married to a wonderful guy, that she had a great son, and lived in a big house in sunny southern California. I told her that I had just had the locks changed on me, no visitation rights with my pussy cats, and that I lived in a shack on the West side of the river. No, not really. I'm kidding. I didn't tell her that. I wouldn't lay my troubles on someone I haven't seen in 27 years. Besides, she would think I was some big loser. I must admit I stretched the true just a tad. Just enough to smooth out the wrinkles a bit. All I told her was that I was head of EddyTech International, a mover and shaker in the globicular nuclear atmospheric engineering and technical research field, that I was shacked up with 3 super models, and that I lived in a mansion next door to Hugh Hefner's brother, Cliff. I told her my hobbies were hand to hand tiger hunting and rescuing blind orphans. I told her that I had trained my mind to make me feel no pain and to be able to levitate old used beer bottles. That I had swam with the piranhas of the Amazon and snow boarded across flowing lave in the south pacific. I told her I had all my hair and that I don't even know how to spell Viyagra. She asked for the names and numbers of my last 3 girlfriends. But unfortunately my phone suddenly went dead...damn it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tpprOGsLWUo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tpprOGsLWUo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/74JBun0cmOc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/74JBun0cmOc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-4440847249910119205?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/4440847249910119205/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=4440847249910119205' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/4440847249910119205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/4440847249910119205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/11/break-up-update-i-dont-believe-she-is.html' title='27 Year Old Girlfriend'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-6798796589291018001</id><published>2009-11-17T09:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-10-13T22:01:58.036-07:00</updated><title type='text'>'Our' Song</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the break up is still brakin'. But, while I was on guard duty here at Fort Mullet, keepin' all the normal people on their side of the river, I was thinkin' about all the smart girls that were dumb enough to get involved with me and what 'our' songs were. I drew a big fat blank. But I did come up with some songs (good or bad) that had something to do, somehow, with our relationship (good or bad) Be that as it may, whenever I hear these tunes it makes me think of that girl. Not 'That Girl' the TV show but 'the' girl I was messin' around with. Got it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will only use their first names soz not to embarrass any of'um. You know, cause they were my 'girl friend'. Now, this goes all the way back to 3rd grade and the first girl I ever got to smooch (who broke up with me cause I accidentally pulled her pants off ((I swear it was an accident))) so you can't really hold hangin' out with me against some of'um. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Lani ~ I'm A Believer - The Monkees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Leslie ~ Wild Fire - Michael Martin Murphy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Melodie ~ Silly Love Songs - Paul McCartney and Wings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Lee Ann ~ I Love A Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shelly ~ Here Comes My Girl ~ Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Shelly II ~ Peace, Love, and Understanding - Elvis Costello &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Jana ~ To Drunk To F**k - Dead Kennedys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Lynda ~ Walk This Way - RUN DMC w/ Areosmith&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Michelle ~ Don't Worry Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Caroline ~ True Fine Love - Steve Miller Band&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Pam ~ After Midnight - Eric Clapton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Carmen ~ Walking After Midnight - Patsey Cline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sonya ~ Pulling Mussels - Squeeze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;For some reason these songs connected themselves to these girls somewhere in my mind. Some of the songs make me smile and some don't. But all of the girls make me smile, cause I tend to always think about the good parts instead of the bad ones. The fun things we did and not the fights. I think it's better that way...but what do I know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;And Tracy...well....Tracy gets two ~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I us'ta sit around the house and play this song on my guitar.

I guess they take the ol' &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'I don't have any money' line also.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;Here is a doozy of a birthday song.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y96rVb3AEDg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y96rVb3AEDg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#999999;"&gt;Adios,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#666666;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-3011508274255694202?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/3011508274255694202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=3011508274255694202' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3011508274255694202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3011508274255694202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/11/hello-friends-hey-its-my-birthday-man.html' title='Birthday'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SwD0godR2EI/AAAAAAAAATA/APNR7SEuWx8/s72-c/clown.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-4939894801060074932</id><published>2009-11-14T18:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-16T12:03:20.097-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Friday the 13th</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sv90CAPQ9BI/AAAAAAAAASw/8fdiDU0dxmA/s1600-h/015a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404165655640470546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sv90CAPQ9BI/AAAAAAAAASw/8fdiDU0dxmA/s400/015a.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; ------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Little Ethel Mermen and Jerry Lee ~ hangin' out in a box&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have really crawled into my cave today. Man, I don't want to go any where near outside. God only knows what will happen to me. I feel like Wylie Coyote. I wouldn't be surprised if an anvil hanging from some rock formation with a candle slowly burning the rope holding it, fell and cracked my noodle. I don't even have an umbrella to open before it drives me into the ground like a big, fat, nail. Friday the 13th is right. I wrenched my knee yesterday and I can hardly walk. I haven't slept in what seems like a year. One of my customers won't pay me because his renter fell through. (&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;) I don't know, but It seems to me that his renter bailing out is his problem, not mine. Somebody keeps tossing me curve balls and is making it very difficult to bat. I feel all empty inside with this kinda tickling' feeling in my stomach. I feel like there is a big spring compressed in my chest and any minute it is going to uncoil and Christ only knows what the hell is gonna happen then. I guess it will rip me to shreds. Boinggggggggg!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sure miss Little Ethel Merman following me around and meow, meow, meowing. And Piggy (my first catch) playing dead and telling me when it's time for dinner. And StanleyMan (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;my most rewarding catch&lt;/span&gt;) sitting next to my chair waiting for some pets. And daddy's girl, Smudge, who has finally come around......and Tracy. And nobody knows when I'll get to see them again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's 3 o'clock in the AM and I can't sleep. It might be the bunk bed I made into a fort. Fort Mullet, the protector of the West Side (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Dale Earnhardt shirt required ~ teeth optional&lt;/span&gt;) But, there has been a glimmer of light on the far side of the r-can-saw river. Frank's pregnant girl friend Angie has been completely wonderful. I didn't really know her that well before, but she has treated me like she's happy that I'm here (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;but I know it is an inconvenience&lt;/span&gt;) Even tho I tell her I'm not hungry, she always fixes me a plate of food at diner time. She made some home made chocolate chip cookies last night that were soooooo good. She is a good person and I like her (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Franks OK, too&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;This is for Angie. Now folks, don't take me puttin' this song on here the wrong way. This is the only song I know that has her name in it, except for that Helen Reddy song about that crazy chick, 'Angie Baby'. Plus it's a great song. Dig it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/usEcJwrNHAg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/usEcJwrNHAg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;PS ~ If you have called and I didn't answer or haven't returned it, don't be offended.

I don't seem to have all of my beans yet, but I'm sure that will work it's way out sooner or later (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I didn't have many beans to begin with anyway&lt;/span&gt;) I usta think that I had bad taste in women, but I'm beginning to think that it may be me. I don't know. I hate this feeling, it's horrible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I was watching the news today about that creep that shot up the joint where he usta work. They said he worked there 2 years ago and they acted like it was weird that he could be disgruntled that long. Let me tell you something, I lost my job a year ago. It was the first job I have ever lost in my whole life. I would have never thought that it would have cost me as much as it has. Not only did I lose a job that paid pretty well, that had good insurance, and not to mention that I truly liked, but I lost respect and self esteem. I lost confidence and drive. I lost Tracy and the pussycats. I worried my folks (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;one more time&lt;/span&gt;) I'm sleeping on a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;kids bunk bed (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;the kid doesn't live here anymore&lt;/span&gt;) over on the West side where there is some loud banging coming from some goddamn factory or plant or something down by the river. I lost that comfortable feeling of my home and the sound of the sewing machine coming from the back room. I lost my late night adventures. For the exception of my immediate family, a few close friends (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;which includes y'all&lt;/span&gt;) I have lost about everything I love in this world. Not just lost, but destroyed. And you know what the worst part about it all is? Do ya? I did it all myself. No help from anyone. Like a kid smashing a model car with a hammer. Bang, bang, bang. In to a million tiny pieces. I didn't lose guilt tho. So, I guess I can be thankful for that. Yes, it's been a year and I feel worse than I did when it happened. Christ, how bad will I feel in a year from now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;It's just another twist in my downward spiral.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;This is a song I wrote a few years ago. There is no video, just a picture of some dumb ol' tree. You know it's funny, I was so sad when I wrote this song and every time that I hear it, it makes me feel like I did then. It doesn't make me miss the gal I wrote it about, or really anything about that time in my life. It just makes me sad inside.

Halloween. Party night! My fav-O-rite night of the year (no kiddin') It's 9:30pm and my party should be crankin' up pretty soon. We don't usually show up till 11:00 or 11:30 or 12:00. I have the greatest costume of all time. My mindless robot side kick is aces, I'm tellin' y'all. I would have someone take a photo of me wearing it to show you just how unbelievable it is, but there is one little hitch...I ain't wearin' it. It's in a pile on the floor. The big, foam block, robot shoes, the jet pack, and the action utility belt that lights up, the whole shootin' match is right there behind me in a ball on the floor. I must have over 200 bucks tied up in that pile of crap, and I can't tell you how many hours. And there it is...just layin' there...behind me...in a ball...on the floor. What a bunch of malarkey. I won't go into why we aren't going, but of course it was all my fault...as usual. Did I say 'What a bunch of malarkey'? I'm sorry, what I meant to say was 'What a bunch of bull shit!' I'm pissed. Hell, I bought her stupid costume too. I don't believe I am a good enough writer to convey to y'all just how I am feeling right now. So I will stop. Happy Halloween and kiss my ass. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Maybe this song can kinda help me out explaining my mood tonight.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Kb3YOavv3g&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Kb3YOavv3g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios and kiss my ass again,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-341578217878110413?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/341578217878110413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=341578217878110413' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/341578217878110413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/341578217878110413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/10/october-31st-2009.html' title='October 31st 2009'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Suz3NoKa3pI/AAAAAAAAASg/vVqvWwg-4Xs/s72-c/death+head.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-9039806431264891988</id><published>2009-10-29T02:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T17:15:01.593-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Spooky Stuff</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sus02fCwdKI/AAAAAAAAASY/ZQV9xJmrhM0/s1600-h/CoopTrickOrTreat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 398px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398466688984315042" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sus02fCwdKI/AAAAAAAAASY/ZQV9xJmrhM0/s400/CoopTrickOrTreat.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOO! Well, Halloween is upon us and I am amped up. This is my second most &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;fav&lt;/span&gt;-O-rite holiday there is. Every year Tracy and I go to that hi-&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;falootin&lt;/span&gt;' shin-dig at the Brady. It's invitation only. Only very important people are on the guest list. VIPs only. Fortunately Tracy is one of them cause my name ain't no where near &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;makin&lt;/span&gt;' that list. As a matter of fact, when you go in you have to show your invite, then sign in. This (the signing-in part) is what gets you on the list for the hoot-a-nanny next year. I have signed that damn thing for the past 5 years and those bastards have yet to send me one. I have a good mind to not even go this year, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;that'll&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;teach'um&lt;/span&gt;...but friends, I'm weak. All those girls in all those skimpy out fits, my principles go only so far. Anyway, we always have a great time. This year Tracy is going as some kinda space girl. Her costume is pretty hot. She has glitter pumps and a dress sorta like Jane &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Jetsons&lt;/span&gt; but much more skimpier. I am gonna be her mindless side kick robot. I have rigged my costume up with lights and a jet pack (I had to have a place to store the batteries for the lights) and I made some shoes out of big square blocks of foam so I will have big, square, clunky, robot feet. I over do everything. They don't give a prize out for best costume, but after they see me they will probably give me something anyway. I was gonna write my mindless side kick robot name on my mindless side kick robot uniform. 'UNI69' but Tracy put the kibosh on that. She also didn't like '1104U'. She said no to 'Sex Machine' '&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Robo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Pounder&lt;/span&gt;' 'I'm Hard As Steel' and 'How About Some Squeaky Squeaky &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Klang&lt;/span&gt; Zing?' Kill joy. I will put some pictures on here after the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is some Halloween stuff ~ Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SulmPRjAuwI/AAAAAAAAAR4/AEbV7PaNHzE/s1600-h/monster+dance+party.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397958040974572290" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SulmPRjAuwI/AAAAAAAAAR4/AEbV7PaNHzE/s320/monster+dance+party.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of my dumb &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ol&lt;/span&gt;' sisters had the 'Monster Dance Party' album back in the day. What a great cover. What a great album. Here is a song off of it.&lt;br /&gt;This is 'Riboflavin Flavored, Non Carbonated, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Polyunsaturated&lt;/span&gt; Blood'&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6NhMJjeugX0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6NhMJjeugX0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Remember those stop motion Christmas specials? You know those creepy little puppets like things. Well, the cat that made those started &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;makin&lt;/span&gt;' 'Mad Monster Party' starring Boris Karloff and Phillis &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Diller&lt;/span&gt; (1967) But he died before it was done. It got put on the shelf. When it was found, many years later, it was in pretty bad shape. Mildew or heat or film &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;eatin&lt;/span&gt;' spiders or &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;sometin&lt;/span&gt;' screwed it up. Point is, when it was found The Misfits put up the dough to have it restored and finished. It's pretty groovy. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-5fe7D14Jp8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-5fe7D14Jp8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;There is a cat that makes &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;movies&lt;/span&gt; named J. Niel. Now, he is always &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;buggin&lt;/span&gt;' me &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;tryin&lt;/span&gt;' to get tips and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;tricks&lt;/span&gt; on how to make a good film. I try to help.

I noticed I had received two comments on my Armin Wolfe story. Well, I said to myself, Eddy ol' boy it looks like two of the flock have decided to praise your Mark Twain writing skills, splashed with your Will Rogers wit. Two of the hole 19 are gonna inform me the God has given me a talent unparalleled, and how lucky they were to be one of the 19 friends on my page (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I go for quality not quantity&lt;/span&gt;) But again, and as usual that wasn't the case. What was the case was, the two comments were from Mr. Wolf's two daughters! Man, was I floored. It seems he went by the name of Mike or that was his name or something. I got kinda confused trying to figure it all out, but they called him Mike none the less. It's kinda funny (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;not in a ha ha funny kinda way&lt;/span&gt;) cause I thought about someone close to him reading it, and I didn't think that they would think it was all that appropriate. You know the 'wrinkled noggin and brushing the dentures' stuff. Especially the 'fear in his eyes and falling down' part. I wouldn't have written that stuff if I thought his daughters were gonna read it. But, they seemed pleased with it (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;shocked anyway&lt;/span&gt;) I was expecting to read one of those 'punch in the snoot' e-mails I usually get. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;It seems that Mr. Wolf was a pilot in Vietnam and retired a major (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;thank you for that&lt;/span&gt;) He was just passin' through Oklahoma (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;or leaving it&lt;/span&gt;) on his way back to Colorado. He had three daughters and one son, four grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. He played high school football and loved the Denver Broncos (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;we won't hold that against him&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I don't know how his daughters came across my story, but to think that they found this story in this whole Internet spider web conglomeration mess is nuts. Hell, you guys don't get'um...and I send'um to you. Jeez, I don't know what to think. How crazy is that? He loved the Denver Broncos. Just when I thought it couldn't get any stranger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;His youngest daughter wrote this ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;"&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;On a final note, my dad would have been proud to read this post that was written in his honor, so again, thank you. The tears I cried at the end of reading it were very much the happy kind&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I guess I don't screw everything up I do. I wish they would have left an e-mail address, there are things I would like to tell them that I didn't put in my story. I'm gonna go now, I'm a little freaked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here is some music.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QQFI7IMtRj8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QQFI7IMtRj8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-1061394626340602974?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/1061394626340602974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=1061394626340602974' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1061394626340602974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1061394626340602974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/10/mr-wolfe-part-2.html' title='Mr. Wolf part 2'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SuGzgQoBLII/AAAAAAAAARw/_m6TxwgD_y4/s72-c/Colorado+Springs.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-1321810887453511886</id><published>2009-10-19T23:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-24T10:59:57.003-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mr. Armin H.

He was having a great day. He had been there about three hours and was about $550.00 to the positive. But what was even better was he had thrown the wood on three different hands to this cat who looks like Kenny Logins and fancies himself the poker king of Tulsa. Little did he know my that Stu thinks he is the poker king of the world, and Kenny didn't like being throttled in front of all those idiots who feed his stupid ego. My friend made this guy so mad he was about to explode. Kenny stormed away from the table only to get whacked again when he returned 30 minutes later. Anyway, Stu is setting there shuffling his chips and staring at the board when someone says "Is he alright?" Stu looks up to see the old man that was playing two seats to his left, leaning on an empty poker table with his back to everyone. Stu stood up and said "You OK mister?" The old man looked around at Stu. His nose was bleeding. Stu said the man had a look of fear in his eyes like he had never seen before, then the old man fell straight back. Stu tried to catch him and they both went to the floor. Now there is blood coming out of his mouth. Stu says "Hang on buddy" and comes to the realization that he has no idea what to do. But Stu being resourceful, he comes up with a "plan" (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;and a good one I might add&lt;/span&gt;) He looks up at the crowd that has surrounded them and says "I don't know what the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;f**&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;k to do" (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that must have been comforting to the old man&lt;/span&gt;) Stu watches as the old man stares up at him with dull, gray, scared eyes. Stu is wishing someone else would have stood up instead of him. Then at the precise moment, Stu puts part 'B' of his "plan" in to action. "Don't you die on me, Mister!" he yells at him. Then the old man died. This all took place in under a minute. It looks like Stu's "plan" didn't quite pan out form him. Did I say it was a good "plan"? I meant it was a stupid "plan". Good job Stu. Stu didn't feel like playing cards any more so he cashed in his chips and went home. Chumping Kenny Logins didn't seem like such a big deal now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the old man had an aneurysm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 3 or 4 days later I asked Stu what the old mans name was. Stu didn't know. So I got on-line and looked up the obituary's. After some fancy detective moves, between the paragraphs of achievements and successes of all the other people who died that week, I found this ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;'Wolf, Armin Henry, 74, died Tuesday. No services planned. Cremation Society'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;That's it? Man, is that the ending to his 74 years on this planet? He lives almost three quarters of a century, doing God knows what all, and that's what he gets, 'Died Tuesday. No services planned'? It seems kinda anti-climatic, don't you think? I'm not saying that it's wrong or bad or someone dropped the ball here, I'm just saying what a let down. I don't know what I was expecting. Fireworks and a brass band I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But truly friends, what a way to go. He got up that morning, combed what few hairs he had on top of his wrinkled old noggin', brushed his dentures and said to himself "I'm gonna go to the casino and throw the wood to the chumps." No fight with Alzheimer's or cancer. No drooling all over his bib in some flea bag nursing home. No your to old to drive. Nope, not Armin Wolf, he was lookin' for action. Can you dig it? You know there is only one other thing I would rather be doing when I die than playing poker, and that's showing some sweet, young, sexy thing how I like to make messy, sticky, steaming hot, brownies. A hole pan of'um. Mmm-mm. Doesn't that sound delicious?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios Armin, I hope you were holdin' the nuts when you got to the gate. If not, I'm sure you bluffed your way in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here is one for you Armin Wolf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jbtrR_0vmTM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jbtrR_0vmTM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-1321810887453511886?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/1321810887453511886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=1321810887453511886' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1321810887453511886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1321810887453511886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/10/mr-wolfe.html' title='Mr. Armin H.

My reply was "Me too". Now friends, I have been thinking about this...cause...well...I'm a thinker. Which is kinda ironic considering the lowness of my intelligence quonset tally. Anyway listen, I'm not thinking about how time is relevant to black matter or how the hell to write an ambigram, I'm thinking of...well...usally stupid junk. But not today. If my friend or I really do 'hate my life' then why keep hanging around. I mean one quick tug on the ol' trigger and endless sleep, right? Well I figured it out...kinda. You see, it's gotta be that you stay in this life you hate cause of all the things in this life you love, family, friends, a good stake, music, spring mornings, being loved, floppin' a boat with a flush on the board, wind in your hair, a good pet, the ol' hubba-hubba, etc. It's not our life that we hate, that's to broad, it's the situation that we put ourselves in that we hate. But what do we do about it, you ask? Nothin'. Nothin' at all. And why, you ponder? Cause it's easy to fail. Hell, if I set out to fail I will win every time..........? I don't have to do nothin', just sit on my ass and let failure kick me right smack dab in the nuts. It's simple. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;or...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;maybe it's not my life I hate, maybe I hate myself. Maybe I'm pissed for not taking advantage of the opportunities handed to me or regret not doing something because I was to scared that I would fail. Maybe subconsiously I thought I was beat before I started so why even try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;or...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;maybe I really do hate my life...I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;This is good stuff, huh? People being murdered as we speak....speak? I mean, as I write this, and I'm thinkin' of this garbage. Man, I gotta figure out why I do this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I love every thing about these little tunes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SOrmjhWpPrY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SOrmjhWpPrY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zb5iJeL2e-c&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zb5iJeL2e-c&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-1525753333058323765?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/1525753333058323765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=1525753333058323765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1525753333058323765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/1525753333058323765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-hate-my-life.html' title='I Hate My Life'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sts_UHMbCcI/AAAAAAAAARI/HbIjFG_8X3E/s72-c/arbus_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-3100625499794660322</id><published>2009-10-11T08:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T21:24:02.916-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Book and German Darts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/StIszidmS7I/AAAAAAAAARA/H_Eo2HpQ1E8/s1600-h/Dart.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391420967851805618" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/StIszidmS7I/AAAAAAAAARA/H_Eo2HpQ1E8/s320/Dart.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, guess what my dumb ass is doing. I am writing a book. Yes, it's true. The long anticipated conglomeration of my thoughts on how to save the world and educate the masses is in the works. Now if that doesn't sound like the end all to end all, I don't know what does... Ah hell, who's kiddin' who here? What a monumental waste of time this is gonna be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What have I been doing lately, you ask. Well, I have been playing darts against a bunch of Germans on-line for money. I am playing as I write this and I am getting my ass handed to me by some chump named Sven that I should be killin'!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;-----------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;UPDATE&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I have just won the last 3 in a row and Sven quit like a big German baby.

Little does he know, I'm like a herd of lions.&lt;br /&gt;I better go before this slug beats me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, the craziest thing happened to me the other day. Crazy by even my standards. I can't tell y'all what happened yet, but I will soon enough. This song is a hint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is The Lords Of The New Church bangin' &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;'Down Town'&lt;/span&gt;.

Moss Correctional Center in lovely north downtown Tulsa (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;don't ask me how I know where it is located&lt;/span&gt;) See, I was walking to the Fiesta Mart after that big rain storm we had today. As I was crossing the main thoroughfare, I see the police had the road blocked off cause a power line had been crashed into and knocked over. Then I notice a pick-up truck broke down on the side street with a nervous lookin' dude pacing around on his cell phone. Now I'm no Dick Tracy, but I figure he's the cat that whacked that pole. I doesn't look like the fuzz has spotted him yet, so I walk over and tell him if I was him I would leave the truck and amscray outta there. Vamoose. So, he heads off down the road and I head back to the Fiesta Mart. Next thing I hear is someone yell "Come back here!" It looks like the jig is up. Here come two (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;) female coppers waddling up with there fancy utility belts a jing, jing, jing-a-lin. I turn around and one of them policettes holler "Which one of you was driving?" Great, here we go. I said that I had walked over there from my house. "Sure you did" she said "let me see your I.D." I reach for my wallet and grab a handful of nothin' but my fat ass. Damn it, I left my wallet at home. "I left my wallet at home, want me to walk home and get it?" I asked. "You stay right there, bud" (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;bud???&lt;/span&gt;) she ordered. She said "I'm not going to ask you again, who was driving?' "I don't know" I said. She raised her voice "Tell me which one of you was driving that truck" CRAP!!! I knew better, I didn't want to, but it happened anyway. I couldn't stop it. It was like when your sick and feel like your gonna puke. As hard as I tried it still came out. "I thought you weren't going to ask me that again" Well friends, they didn't think I was as funny as I do, it seems. I finally convinced them that I wasn't in the truck but, then they wanted me to tell them that I saw that one dude smash the pole, but I'm no snitch. They wanted me to tell them I saw him get out of the truck, but I'm no snitch. They wanted me to tell them that I saw him messin' around that truck, but I'm no snitch. They threatened to run me in for failure to cooperate with an investigation, but I'm no snitch. They finally told me to go home. I walked home on two legs like a man, not on all fours like a rat. There are enough rats and snitches in this world anyway, they don't need one more. They took that fella to jail anyway. It seems there were several other people around there willing to squeal like pigs for the fine women in blue.

Nothing national, just random misfortune linking souls together through a spider web of friendship. I read an e-mail from an old friend of mine, Alicia Brown, and she wrote ~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;...I thank God every day for the memories. I feel that the best for thing for me to do right now is to share the memories that I have, smile always, laugh often, love life, value everything we touch, and pass this on to our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;children&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I think this is very good advice. Now, I don't have any children to pass anything along to (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;if I did have kids I'm sure I would have misplaced them by now so It's probably for the best&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;) So I am gonna give you, my friends, some memories. This is for y'all who grew up in Tulsa through the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Now I wasn't born until 1976 but I have a couple of much older sisters who told me about this stuff. If you weren't raised in Tulsa or you are to young to remember any of this, I hope you enjoy some of it anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;------------------ &lt;/span&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Allllllll aboard!!!

Phillip Young, James '&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Jimi&lt;/span&gt; Lime' Kirsch, Joey &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Reidy&lt;/span&gt; (I actually see Joe from time to time and we see who can out talk each other. He always wins) Now, there were a few lady's there that I went to school with and the funny thing is, that everyone of them had a thing for your humble story teller at on time or another. I don't mean a couple of them or a few of them, I mean every one of them! Yes, it's true. Boy, was I shocked. What are the odds that every doll in the joint usta be daffy over yours truly? And what was even funnier was...well...I guess most of them still haven't gotten over me yet, sad to say. It must be my brutal boyish good looks or my masculine fur-moans or somethin'. True, I am a sexual Tyrannosaurus, but you would think over time they would have gotten usta mediocrity. I don't know. Oh, and the little games they played that night, a couple of them said hi and walked on by, but I was on &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;to'um&lt;/span&gt;. A couple of them acted like they new my face but couldn't remember my name. Ha, good try gals. Heck, several of them had the nerve to act like they didn't even remember me at all, that's how broken up they are. And they all gave Oscar winning performances I must say. Heck, if you didn't know better you would think that they were never noggin over piggies in luuuuv with me. A gaggle of little Meryl Streeps, they were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SpKFngQFBvI/AAAAAAAAAQI/rYtLRYxHW30/s1600-h/streep_meryl_oscar1980.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 163px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373504219125188338" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SpKFngQFBvI/AAAAAAAAAQI/rYtLRYxHW30/s200/streep_meryl_oscar1980.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;James told me that after I left things really went south. Suzy locked herself in the upstairs bathroom and they had to have the maid put her in a full nelson to get her out. Vicky ran out the door crying and crashed in to a tree, breaking her new designer glasses. Missy downed a 5th of Everclear, climbed up on the picnic table and started singing 'America the Beautiful' but substituted my name for America, Rebbecca kissed the refrigerator door, called it 'Eddy Bear', then punched it right in the crisper, Pam and Kathy got into a cat fight (Careful Pam, Kathy grew up with hockey players) which I heard someone video taped and has now become the number one watched video on Youtube. And Rhonda slapped Joey across the face and said something about being a man or not measurin' up or somethin' along them lines.&lt;br /&gt;....but....you know....then again....I might have completely misunderstood him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this song might explain things, lady's. I like you all, but as friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have recently found out that my stuff is being read over the radio bi-weekly in Asia. I guess a lot of Asianiuns don't have computers, so as a gift to them I am adding subtitles to this video.

Wow, I'm floored. I haven't seen Lee in years, but man, it still hits home. I remember he lived in Johanson Acres (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;when I was a kid I thought that was where all the rich people lived&lt;/span&gt;) I remember his house backed up to the wall that surrounded the Ma-Hu (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;pronounced may-hue, but we all called it ma-who&lt;/span&gt;) Mansion. I remember he had a huge, slobbering, St. Bernard but I don't remember it's name. I remember jumping on his giant trampoline and riding his cool motorcycle. You know I have a confession to make. I have always said that 'Wipe Out' was the first rock and roll song I learned to play. Well, not exactly. It was the first song I learned to play the whole way through, but before I even owned a guitar Lee showed me how to bang out the intro to (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;you guessed it&lt;/span&gt;) 'Smoke On The Water' using only the E (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;top&lt;/span&gt;) string. I guess as much as I hate to conform or hate to be like anyone else, I am exactly the same as 10 bazillion kids who pick up their friends guitar and were taught the 'Deep Purple' classic. What a cool club to be in. Thank you for that, Lee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My thoughts are with all of Lee Houston's family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this doesn't seem inappropriate, but it seems to be the only appropriate thing to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;This is the first song I learned to play.

I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a diet Coke and sat down to check my e-mail. As my home page came up I saw the story about the shooting at the LA Fitness gym in Pennsylvania. It seems this George Sodini character shot the joint up and killed 3 or 4 women (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;conflicting reports&lt;/span&gt;) and wounded from 1 to 15 (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ore conflicting reports&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) He shot 36 or 53 rounds from his pistols (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;again with the conflicting reports&lt;/span&gt;) So there's a lot we don't know, but what we do know is that there are people dead. Dead and gone. Forever. And countless lives shattered into a million pieces like busted glass on the pavement. Mothers, fathers, children, friends, co-workers, aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, etc, etc, etc. Why would someone want to hurt so many? Well, It seems that Georgie couldn't get himself a date with a broad, much less a girl friend, and it looks like he hadn't been laid in years. Sodini complained on his blog site of not having a girlfriend since 1984, not having a date since May 2008 and not having sex for 19 years (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;w&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;hat the....?!?!? 19 years!?!?!?!?!&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Women just don't like me. There are 30 million desirable women in the US (my estimate) and I cannot find one," he wrote in his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder why? Maybe because your a boring loser or have an incredibly small penis or it might be that your a homicidal creep. Ever think of that, jackass? You know, I have seen the stupidest looking dudes with a chick. I have seen fat guys and ugly guys, dimwits and freaks. Hell, I even have a girl friend. How bad do you have to be to not get to saddle up every now and then? Christ, gettin' laid is easy, cause they don't know what a dick you are yet, it's keepin' them that's hard. I can tell you right now, and I don't care who knows this, if I hadn't taken the skin boat to Tuna Town in 19 years I would be on the phone and have me one of those escorts (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Prostitute, hooker, workin' girl, lady of the night, street walker, ho, whore, or what ever you want to call them&lt;/span&gt;) at my house before you could say Jack Robinson. I would give her the money then I would give her the pounding of her life (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;3 whole minutes of it&lt;/span&gt;) then send her on her merry way. It's simple. But, this mass shootin' shit just boggles my mind. Just because some limp peckered, saddle oxford wearin' sissy didn't get a pony for Christmas when he was 12 or some Star Trek convention goin' numb-nuts mother didn't give him enough attention which in turn made him spy on her in the shower and masturbate on her shoes, gets a gun and takes it out on people who seem to have the world by the tail. Bullshit, they have problems too. We all do, but some of us except responsibility for our problems and don't blame them on everyone else. It's not our fault you wear your mothers dirty underwear and pump your neighbors dog, Sir Barksalot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;So, why is my life so screwed up? Because, I screwed it up, that's why. I did it, not some single mother who is trying to raise her son, make ends meet, and get her life back on track, you stupid mother fucker. So why can't these week, week, buckets of puss and piss stand up, put there balls on, and be a man? Because they are not men. A real man would try to save those lady's. A real man would be their protector. I guess the general consensus was that Sodini wasn't a man, hell he couldn't get a member of the opposite sex to give him a hand job much less fornicate with him. But I will give him this, at least the sorry son-of-a-bitch shot himself. Bravo. He also wrote ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Maybe soon, I will see God and Jesus. Eternal life does NOT depend on works. If it did, we will all be in hell. Christ paid for EVERY sin, so how can I or you be judged BY GOD for a sin when the penalty was ALREADY paid. People judge but that does not matter. I was reading the Bible and The Integrity of God beginning yesterday, because soon I will see them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck you. If there is a God, your ass is fricasseed my friend. Deep fried. You think it was tough here, try to find a girlfriend in Hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I think about those people that have to go home to an empty house that shouldn't be empty. It is the loneliest place in the world. The sounds of foot steps down the hall or the refrigerator opening, sounds you never think about until silence takes their place. The only sound you can hear is the sound of your heart breaking. Ain't it deafening. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote a song a few years back called 'Strung Out'. It had a couple of lines in it that went ~ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;"I miss that sweet smell of home.&lt;br /&gt;And it was home cause it smelled like you"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Here is the saddest song in the world..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bfZVXEeNqcU&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bfZVXEeNqcU&amp;amp;hl=" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" fs="1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-3862337097547845982?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/3862337097547845982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=3862337097547845982' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3862337097547845982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3862337097547845982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-dont-get-it.html' title='I Don&apos;t Get It'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-3987282810555622983</id><published>2009-08-06T06:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T08:27:19.062-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cleanin' What I Spill't</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SnrmyW8HyhI/AAAAAAAAAOY/mgwBqZGTDEA/s1600-h/aa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 204px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366855658790963730" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SnrmyW8HyhI/AAAAAAAAAOY/mgwBqZGTDEA/s320/aa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; -------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;Beelzebub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Well, now I went and done it. I was cleaning up something I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;spill't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; day before yesterday in the 'Man Cave' (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;my garage&lt;/span&gt;). It was something pretty &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;dern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; corrosive and my &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;dumb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ass knocked it over on some particle board (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that's where they take a bunch of little pieces of wood and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;mash'um&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; all together into one big piece of wood&lt;/span&gt;) I was in a hurry so I grabbed a wad of paper towels and was &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;doin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' 'wax on wax off' like Mr. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Miyagi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on speed when I subsequently shoved a hunk of wood smack dab in the middle of my middle finger on my right hand. My &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;flippin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' off finger. Now, the splinter thing is not new to me, this kinda thing happens all the time. So, after I said a few choice words, I dropped the paper towels, and stated to find the splinter to dig it out. Then my hand burst into flames. And not regular flames, these were invisible inferno flames brought up from the depths of Hell by Beelzebub himself and spit on to my finger from his nasty old snuggled toothed mouth. I guess the splinter was coated with that crap I was cleaning up. Good lord friends, I thought I was gonna cry. This was not new to me. And what's worse is, I had to take a knife and slit my finger to get to the splinter that was covered in molten lava and was &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;gushin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' in to my veins. So there I was, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;whackin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;sawin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' away at my middle digit with my left hand (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I'm right handed&lt;/span&gt;), &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;dancin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' around in circles, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;tryin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' to get that thing out for &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;cryin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' out loud. Well, I finally got it, but it looks like Jack the Ripper gave me a manicure. Now my finger is all swollen up, blue, and sore to beat the band. I'm not even gonna tell you what is &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;comin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' out the hole I hacked in my flipper offer. Well, I'll let you all know if my finger falls off. If it does, I'm gonna make a necklace out of it and give it to Tracy for Christmas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Let's see someone top that&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SnroEs1_wZI/AAAAAAAAAOg/1yELxFnWAsA/s1600-h/eddypain17.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 160px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366857073420124562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SnroEs1_wZI/AAAAAAAAAOg/1yELxFnWAsA/s400/eddypain17.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;-----------------------&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;My finger before the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;incident&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here is a couple of songs about the devil.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8OLK_HSyy1U&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8OLK_HSyy1U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R0iGenPD1B4&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R0iGenPD1B4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adios, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-3987282810555622983?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/3987282810555622983/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=3987282810555622983' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3987282810555622983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/3987282810555622983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/08/cleanin-what-i-spillt.html' title='Cleanin&apos; What I Spill&apos;t'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SnrmyW8HyhI/AAAAAAAAAOY/mgwBqZGTDEA/s72-c/aa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-7161707565721368259</id><published>2009-08-05T08:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-05T22:58:29.542-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My Glamor Shot</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had a couple of comments about the photograph at the top of the 'How Dumb Do I Look' story. First, I would like to thank some of you for answering that question and letting me know how dumb I actually look. Secondly, yes that is your humble story teller. The photo was taken about 5 years ago by my friends girlfriend at my old apartment. It was about 8:00 AM, one fall morning after I had just returned from a long, wonderful night&lt;br /&gt;hi-jinx, shenanigans, and debauchery (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;note the bags under my eyes&lt;/span&gt;) She was there picking up something for my friend and trying to find out what I did that night. She is one of those nosy chicks that had to be in the middle of everything. It was killing her. I just wanted her to leave so I could go to bed. I love this photo for the fact that the Coca-Cola coffee mug has Coca-Cola soft drink in it was a pure accident. All my glasses were dirty so I used a cup. I didn't realize it was a Coke cup till I got the picture. Isn't that amazing?!?!?! As I was pouring my drink she kept prying, I walked to my bedroom door and lifted my cup as to say 'Adios' and she snapped this photo and I went to bed. I like the way Elvis is back ground, and I think I'm the only guy to ever wear a 'Ramones' T-shirt with a green Cardigan sweeter. And my hair, what a riot. This is what a pompadour looks like 12 hours, a few Bushmills, and a few other things I can't mention, later. It is a funny reminder to a great, great night. And man let me tell you, there ain't much that feels better than crawling in to a clean bed, after being up all night. Not much at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Paul McCartney hasn't sent me any tickets yet. I would have thought that after he read my story on the high price of tickets he would have felt bad and sent me a couple, but nope. I know he had to have read it. My blogs are the 3rd most read in the U.S.A. and 8th most read on the other 9 continents. Well Sir Paul, I wouldn't take any tickets from you now even if you through that crappy old Hofner bass in to sweeten the deal. You can kiss my John Lennon lovin' ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;----------------------------------------&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a Hofner bass&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366680454421508354" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SnpHcHzTcQI/AAAAAAAAAOI/gMIkS844gKs/s320/paul11.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is what a Hofner bass sounds like.

How dumb do I look? Well, I'm &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;tellin&lt;/span&gt;' you it must be pretty darn dumb cause if they think I'm gonna fall for it they are crazy. You see, I got an e-mail from a "friend" yesterday. I opened it to find it was an invitation to a party. Great, I love parties. Now it seems that the party is for another old "friend" who I went to high school with. I guess he's &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ridin&lt;/span&gt;' a greyhound up from one of those really hot inferno states that are chalk full of cacti, snakes, and cracked earth (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sounds like heaven...no, wait a minute. That is&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; what it sounds like&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;) The old "friends" name is James Kirsch. If that name sounds familiar, it should because I wrote a story a couple of stories back about a vision named Julie Kirsch. Now, the names being similar is no coincidence, James is Julie's younger brother (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It's funny how that beauty gene hits some people right in the mush but will fly past others like a SR-71. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Humm&lt;/span&gt;, doesn't seem fair, does it&lt;em&gt;?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffff66;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, I don't believe him coming in to town is a coincidence either. It's &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;lookin&lt;/span&gt;' like I have besmirched the Kirsch family name with that whole 'face was right at boob level' statement. It looks like &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Jimi&lt;/span&gt; 'the Lime' Kirsch and his hired goon Suzy 'the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Belding&lt;/span&gt;' Stewart are &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;fixin&lt;/span&gt;' the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;wack&lt;/span&gt; me. It's a hit, friends.

It's just good manners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) I look like it's picture day at MacArthur Elementary School. I can hear the music coming from the other side of the door. It sounds like they are really living it up in there. There is a note taped to the door bell that reads ~ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;----------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;'JUST COME ON IN'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I strut through the door only to find the room empty.

I know it's a set up because I hardly ever never get invited to parties. And if I do I usually get beat up by someone. I remember the last time I went to a party, someone clubbed me from behind with a frozen ham and the next thing I know, I'm waking up on a city bus headed for 36&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; Street North and Lansing, buck naked with a pair of those funny glasses with the springy eye balls duct taped to my head.

You, and your torpedo Suzy 'the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Belding&lt;/span&gt;'.

I mean something that you haven't thought about in years and years and years. Like the other day I heard the song 'Afternoon Delight' by the Starland Vocal Band. So there I am wondering how this crap ever made it on the radio, then it hit me like a sock full of nickles, Skateland, that big disco ball, the motor cycle 'jumpin the buses' arcade game, my Jim Cook 700's, and how I felt every time I saw Melodie Ashley skate by with that big Farrah Faucet hair-do (she broke my heart and made me cry) That stupid song some how extracted those memories from my not-so-recent file, dusted them off, and cracked them smack dab across my kisser. Well, today I was screwin' off when I was suppose to be workin' and I saw a 1963 Corvette split window coupe sailin' down the road. I thought what a cool car. Then, another file opened and I thought about Julie Kirsch (If I remember right she had a copper colored 63' Vette. James will have to help me out on that one) Once I thought about her I forgot all about the dumb ol' car. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Julie was 2 or 3 years older than me. I remember the first time I saw her was at Pink Barn when I was in 7th grade. Pink Barn was suppose to be a dance school (and I guess it was) but it was where you went to meet girls when you were 12 where I'm from. Julie was a instructor or a helper or somethin'. I'm not sure what she was doin' there, but what she was doin' there was not important, what was important was that she was there doin' what she was doin'. Now, today Julie wouldn't remember me or remember that we danced together. I don't know why we danced. I don't think it was because I was such a great dancer (But I was. I could have gone professional. I won the tri-state championship 3 years runnin', then I just quit) I don't think it was because I was brutally handsome (Good lord no. I was about the goofiest, most awkward, skinniest, dope you have ever seen. The brutally handsome thing came later) It was probably because none of the girls would dance with me. What ever the reason was, I didn't care. The height difference was perfect. My face was right at boob level (Sorry James) And she smelled so good. Man-0-man, did she ever. But the kicker was, that she was very nice to me. Boy-howdy, she made my stomach do flip-flops. I never wanted the song to end. But sadly, it did. Let me tell you something friends, in the eyes of a 7th grade little boy, Julie Kirsch was a full grown woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I guess that's true about almost everything in my life, no matter how much I love the song, it always ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I like the way those disco balls throw dots of light all over a dance floor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here are a few tunes Julie and I might have danced to a long, long , time ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MxYir_lVi0E&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MxYir_lVi0E&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pfm-17pu6SQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pfm-17pu6SQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A2iS8XctJKo&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A2iS8XctJKo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mPLfDBcu_U0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mPLfDBcu_U0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-6847918867063041786?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/6847918867063041786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=6847918867063041786' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6847918867063041786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/6847918867063041786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/07/hello-friends-have-you-ever-noticed-how.html' title='Dusty ol&apos;

Officer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;) of some big fancy company. Yup, that's what I want to do. And I believe I can handle the job...well at least as good, if not better, than some of those cats doing it now. Here are some examples and what I would do different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now take Bob Nardelli for instance. He was so craptastic that The Home Depot paid Bobby 210 million smackers to leave (&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I dropped the ball on this one. They got me to leave for free. I should have held out, at least until the cops showed up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) Then he was hired by those knuckle heads over at Chrysler, to...well...I guess to run the company into the ground, cause that's what he did (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;I could have done that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) I guess the interviewing HR who hired him forgot to call his previous employer. That was a colossal over sight on there part. Hell, the government offered a 750 million dollar loan to Chrysler, on the grounds that it would require that executive compensation be capped, but good old Bob, not wanting to take the governments money, turned it down. Now Chrysler is drivin' up chapter 11 avenue, flippin' off all people they put outa work, while Bob is transferrin' his 3.8 million dollar Los Angeles house into his wife's name (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Now that one will come back to bite him in the ass, mark my words&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) I guess he is keeping his Atlanta home in his own stupid name. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One thing I would have have done is made the new Dodge Challenger and Charger affordable. They would sell a bucket load of those things (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;a bucket load is a bunch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) And I would have drove to Washington to appear before Congress to beg for money in one of those silver babies with the black racin' stripes and a magnetic sigh on the side saying "This car cost next ta nuttin". Bobby chose to fly in a private 35 million dollar jet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Good choice, dumb dumb.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sm2imGK07KI/AAAAAAAAAMo/SR8GTds5N10/s1600-h/aaaa16.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363121506642881698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sm2imGK07KI/AAAAAAAAAMo/SR8GTds5N10/s320/aaaa16.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;--------------------------------&lt;/span&gt; Fancy Dodge Challenger&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Take a gander at Bobby's Atlanta home.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I grew up in a house almost exactly like his. A carbon copy. The comparison is uncanny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/48980/view/?service=1"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/48980/view/?service=1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roger Mulally of Ford closed 17 plants and put 51 thousand (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;that's right 51,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) people on the skids. But fortunately for Rog, he is still gets to fly to his other Mansion in Seattle every weekend on one of the eight corporate jets. His wife gets to use it too. I'm sure her heart bleeds for those 51,000, out of work, hungry and cold, X auto workers as she wings off to New York to get her bunions scraped. Rog had a pretty good year last year, he made 28 million dollars. Not to shabby. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I think I would lose the house in Seattle, cut all the executives pay by 70% (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;mine too&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) get rid of 7 of the jets, end all those free fancy lunches, no more trips to Hawaii with the wife on the company's tab, and stop using the employees retirement money to stay in fancy hotel rooms with high dollar hookers and snorkel up a pound of coke. Instead, I would eat at Antones, I would pay for my own vacations, and I would frequent seedy motels with sleazy whores and snorkel up a 8 ball of crank. That way, maybe I could keep 11 of the plants open and keep all the (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;51,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) jobs. You see, I would have trouble givin' some three toothed floozy that goes by the name 'Destiny' a 'damn good seeing to' knowing that she might have worked for me when she had a dental plan and was called LaShonda.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can I say, I'm a man with a conscience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363067590589984818" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sm1xjxOGsDI/AAAAAAAAAMA/WXT8yyI9ykk/s320/MulallyFord.jpg" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;-------- -------------------------&lt;/span&gt;Mulally's ride&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But my favorite CEO is, Dennis Leo Kozlowski of Tyco (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Isn't that the name of the u-nee-bomber?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) Anyway, he's the wild man who threw the famous one million dollar shareholders/wife's birthday shin-dig that had a ice sculpture of the Statue of David that whizzed Stolichnaya vodka all over the joint. Mmm-mmm. Makes me thirsty just thinkin' about it. Supposedly the hootenanny turned in to an orgy as the night went on. Denny also had a stupid 1 thousand dollar waist paper basket (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;trash can&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) for his desk and a stupid 6 thousand dollar shower curtain (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;WTF?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) That thing better do something besides keep water from sprayin' on my floor for 6 G's.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now, I wouldn't have had a party cause I'm afraid that if I did no one would show up and the rejection might give me some kinda complex or sumthin'. Not to mention, that whole table of chips and dip would go to waste. I would be up for the orgy tho (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;no pun intended&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) but as far as the peeing thing...well...I'll just leave that one alone. Now, I would have saved the company a bunch of dough on that shower curtain and trash can, cause I could give two s**ts about those kinda things. Ones from K-mart would work for me just swell. And maybe, just maybe, I would take the money I saved and give away some Tyco toys to a bunch of poor tots for Christmas. Being nice to poor kids at Christmas is golden when it comes to promotion and publicity. The public eats that sappy stuff up.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sm1zTRE98OI/AAAAAAAAAMI/EpGvXEZzrM8/s1600-h/aaa.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 222px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363069506107076834" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sm1zTRE98OI/AAAAAAAAAMI/EpGvXEZzrM8/s320/aaa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; --------------------&lt;/span&gt;Here is Denny and his pee drinkin' wife Karen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let me tell you something friends, I could do it. I could have sabotaged all of these companies just as good as those goons did, for half the money and in half the time. I could put on some platform shoes and host a swingers soiree. These guys all have monster egos, and...well, I'm kinda a megalomaniac my own self, I guess. See, someone the other day told me I had 'narcissistic personality disorder' (&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;NPD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) and that's why I write this junk, so I can show you people just how clever and witty I think I am. Personally I don't think I'm clever or witty, I think I'm a souper jeanius. But, that's not for me to say, that's for....Where the hell was I? Oh yeah, the CEO's. Those fellas are gittin' paid millions to make us look like chumps. Chumps I tell ya! Well, I'm just about sick and tired of being the 'chumpy' and I am ready to be the 'chumper' for a change. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I wonder if I can apply online.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speakin' of the skids, here are my good friends from North Carolina.

I made it to the final table both times only to be the first one knocked out. I kept telling myself to pay attention and don't do anything stupid, but guess what, I went and done what I told myself not to go and do. I didn't pay attention and did something stupid. I tried to blame it on Tracy but she wouldn't go for it. What a loser. I'm like a rusty Fetsler valve, I crack under the force of a lot of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Number 2 has been removed on the grounds I might incriminate myself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;) Sir Paul McCartney is coming to town and I can't afford a ticket. For those of you who knew me when I was a youngster, and were over to the Eddy abode, you will remember my walls covered with Beatle junk. I bought all the records, I had the books, I wore the shirts, I even knew how to sign George Harrison's autograph. I useta put that funny little goofy 3 thing-a-ma-jig that George always had hanging around by his name next to my signature (we are talking when I was in Jr. high here folks) Hell, I didn't even know what it meant...still don't. It might have meant 'Doesn't pay attention and will do something stupid' for all I know. So I figure since I contributed to Sir Paul being the richest bass player in the solar system, I should get one free ticket, by God! Just one is all I'm asking for. Two would be even better, but I will settle for one. Or they should at least make the damn tickets affordable for Christs sake. So come the evening of August 17th, I'm gonna be pouting around the house, feeling sorry for myself and making Tracy's life miserable. That'll teach Mr. Sir, high falootin', big shot, Beatle man Paul McCartney. That'll teach him good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by the way, what's with that 'Sir' crap. I think that if your a Knight, it should be mandatory that you joust someone at least a couple of times a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I am mad at the Hippopotamus (Paul was NOT the walrus, he was the hungry hungry hippo, John was the walrus. George was the bunny rabbit and Ringo was the chicken) here are some Beatle songs done by my good friends. If you would have stopped by my casa Sunday you could have had a burger, some beers, and some &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"&gt;censored&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; with me, Joey (the singer) and Marky Starkey (the drummer) This first song kinda goes with 'reason I'm pissed' number 1.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qmvH_-rC_ZM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qmvH_-rC_ZM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3rog34sIfP0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3rog34sIfP0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;You should here my right on imitation of the cartoon Ringo imitating the real Ringo.

I guess I have thought about it more than I thought I have thought about it. I have a verse in a song I wrote that goes somethin' like this ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;'Sometimes the weight is just to much to bare&lt;br /&gt;and if I pass away is there anyone who'd care&lt;br /&gt;would any tears for me be shed&lt;br /&gt;or mournful words of Christ on that day said&lt;br /&gt;you know this world, it brings me down&lt;br /&gt;I guess I've lost what everybodys found&lt;br /&gt;and I ain't got nothin' to bring me round&lt;br /&gt;on the streets of this dead town'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Anyway, as far as salvation goes, I figure I have already done so much of the fun stuff that it would be pretty dern hard to dig myself out. Plus, I'm a weak, weak individual and would just keep fallin' back and I don't know if I could deal with all of the failure so we will just say I flunked that part of the test and move forward. No point worrying about something we can't do anything about, I say. So, I'm left with planing my funeral. OK, I'm tellin' you all so if something happens to me someone will know what the hell is going on. I am also assigning jobs to some of you, so don't let me down team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Tecla B. is to head the hole mess up. God help ya'll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) James J, Joe B, and Jon P ~ I want a white, cheap, crappy casket with a box of sharpies next to it. (you guys gotta buy it too) That way anybody who happens to come to the funeral can write something stupid on it. Please watch your language cause of my mother. You can even draw glasses and a mustache on me if you want. That would be a riot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Judi D. ~ You are the MC cause your pretty and everyone will like lookin' at you. (you can't get mad Jim cause I'm dead, sorry) I don't want some preacher that I don't know talkin' about my soul. That's really nobodies business. I want people to get up and talk about what a swell fella I was or any goofy thing they can think of as long as it in someway makes fun of Roger. Like the Easter basket story....what a knucklehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) I would like to have some of my musician friends have a little jam thing ago-in. Brother Bagsby is in charge of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) David C. ~ Your gonna be the greeter cause you kinda look like you work in a funeral home anyway, but mostly cause you would say some of the funniest things that no one would get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Billy Earl P. ~ You get to make all the lists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Nipper ~ You get to give everyone that comes in a ticket and have a drawing to give away the door prizes.&lt;br /&gt;a- My cool pin-up girl collection&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8pnNjclzI/AAAAAAAAALU/4R2IC5S23Jc/s1600-h/Johnny+Cash.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 92px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359047835224151858" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8pnNjclzI/AAAAAAAAALU/4R2IC5S23Jc/s200/Johnny+Cash.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8ooM9j7OI/AAAAAAAAALE/TrITECWIP_s/s1600-h/zpinup28.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 92px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359046752733490402" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8ooM9j7OI/AAAAAAAAALE/TrITECWIP_s/s200/zpinup28.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8oho_ahjI/AAAAAAAAAK8/er7U9bLLq4w/s1600-h/Cracker.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 92px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359046639998371378" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8oho_ahjI/AAAAAAAAAK8/er7U9bLLq4w/s200/Cracker.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;b- A copy of a picture of my dumb ass in 9th grade with some stupid metal shop&lt;br /&gt;glasses on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359042935310531890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8lJ_9APTI/AAAAAAAAAKU/R3-kq9DcPfQ/s200/_ac.bmp" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;c- My smashed penny collection (and I got a bunch of um) You'll wanna win this one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8qoi5R0cI/AAAAAAAAALc/4lk3dS9fl48/s1600-h/pennys.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 116px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359048957644362178" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8qoi5R0cI/AAAAAAAAALc/4lk3dS9fl48/s200/pennys.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;d- My fav-O-rite Motorhead shirt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8oRMwIn8I/AAAAAAAAAK0/NitvtwB28Fc/s1600-h/MHTSDRK106.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 186px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359046357540184002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/Sl8oRMwIn8I/AAAAAAAAAK0/NitvtwB28Fc/s200/MHTSDRK106.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;8) Roger H. and Scott J. ~ You guys get to stand up front so everyone can see Rogers face when the stories are being told and Scott can stand there and laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) Cathy S. ~ I would like some go-go dancers. Like the ones on laugh In, but with out the body painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) I want to wear my chucks, my tan Dickie's, and my Ramones T shirt.

Jason O. this is your baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want one of those little marble houses with the big iron door. I want a motion detector rigged up to a recorder so that when anyone walks by it will go off and and they will her me saying "Hey you, come in here and check this crap out." And on the inside I want a soda machine, my white, cheap, crappy, coffin with a T.V. sitting on it, a little table with a chair and a bunch of multi-colored rope lights. On the wall next to the chair is a big red button with a sign that says ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Well It Ain't Gonna Push It's Self&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Then when you push it the T.V comes on and tells my life story!

It's one of those days where anything anyone says annoys me. It seems that everyone has decided to inform me of my faults lately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I'm to loud or to forgetful or I don't pay attention or I talk to much or how irresponsible I am or my sideburns are to big or that I'm just flat out dumber than a foot stool. And how everything I like to do is a waist of time and everything I don't do is what I should be doing. Now, I know I'm not the sharpest mouse in the sack but I know what my damn faults are. I don't need a bunch of goons telling me. Christ, if I'm that bad, than I would appreciate it if everyone would keep there stupid mouths zipped and try to put as much road between me and them as they possibly can. Like right now, someone is talking to me about computer updates. He's firing questions at me that I don't know, or even care to know. Can't he see I'm doing something I like? Something that is very, very important? Maybe he will read this over my shoulder and shut the hell up....Nope, no luck. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Maybe it's the heat that's getting to me or maybe I'm just getting grumpy in my old age or maybe it's my customer who won't pay me cause he won't have any money until next week. We didn't get to finish our conversation cause he had to meet his private trainer at the gym cause he hasn't got to work out in two weeks cause he's been in Florida on vacation. Or maybe it's the other one who I can't get a hold of cause he is at his yoga class. Yoga??? Good Lord. Back in my day we called 'yoga' strechin'. Then he has hand bell practice. WTF? I would like to kick him in the bells. But I should look on the bright side, I get to climb up in my attic and fix the water heater vent. It's only 447 degrees up there, no breeze, and the insulation sticks to my skin as the sweat pores down my back and in to my pants. If I'm not careful it'll rust my bells. But let me tell you something neighbors, if I'm told one more time to be sure and walk on the rafters I'm gonna choke someone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Have a nice day.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ykgh0SV_yCs&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ykgh0SV_yCs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6_PAHbqq-o4&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6_PAHbqq-o4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Here is a little disturbing video I made a while back when I was in about the same mood as I am in today.

I know this is gonna sound sappy and corny but I'm gonna say it anyway. We all bitch and complain non stop about a plethora of topics. From abortion to gay marriage to gun registration to welfare reform. We all seem to have something to say about everything. We argue and fight, we get pissed and cuss, we scream until we are red, white, and blue in the face. And do you know why? I don't mean 'why' we disagree, I mean 'why' we argue. The answer is 'because we can'. One thing we will all have to agree on is that brave men have given there lives so we can disagree. My Grandfather gave half of his foot and had his insides blistered by mustard gas for that right. The Argonne Forest in 1918 was not a fun place to be. It wasn't even a bad place to be. Bad doesn't even begin to describe it. It was a unimaginable place to be. Look at these pictures, can you imagine being there? Men have put themselves in places like that through out history for us countless times. So next time your on your soap box (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;like I am right now&lt;/span&gt;) remember the cats who made it possible.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SlDe6p5TTUI/AAAAAAAAAJs/lcref84gzHM/s1600-h/Argonne.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355025056203492674" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SlDe6p5TTUI/AAAAAAAAAJs/lcref84gzHM/s320/Argonne.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355048808298191746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 309px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 252px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SlD0hNV-G4I/AAAAAAAAAJ8/P3T0QEC-Q3g/s320/Argonne1.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;'The Pledge' was sent to me from a dear friend.

Some of you know my mother so this is nothing new, but for those of you who have never had the privilege, let me explain. I guess I get my mouth from my mom. Pop doesn't say much and so when he does it is something that needs to be said. Pop has a saying "Just because you may know what they are talking about doesn't mean you have to jump in the conversation." My mom and I choose to ignore this. I caught my mom in the Dallas airport telling some lady from Germany about me forging my pops signature on a progress report I got from Mr. Tucker in my 7th grade math class. Hell, she saw a biker chick in South Dakota and felt she had to tell her that her tattoo was very beautiful. The biker chick told mom that her 'old man' gave it to her and pointed to a huge, bearded, tattooed, leather jacketed, true Outlaw MC, biker. Mom proceeds to walk up to this cat and his Outlaw brothers and tell him what a wonderful artist he is. He looked at her a little shocked then laughed. But, he did offer to give mom the very same tattoo for free if she would let him. She said 'no thank you'. Mom was then there buddy and the safest 70 some year old lady in the joint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom knows more about nothing than any one else in this world. She will beat you ass at Trivial Pursuit so bad you will like it. She can tell you what they call the little plastic thibgy-ma-bob on the end of your shoelace or what the proper name is for a bunch of crows. She can inform you of the name of that fancy pants artist Vinny Van Gogh's brother or who was the first Indian across the Little Big Horn &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;answers below*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) All of mom's units of measure are done in comparison, for example "...it took as much concrete to build that building as it would to fill 3 football stadiums full", or "...give me about as much as it would take to fill, oh I don't know, I guess about a coffee cup", or "...about the distance from my elbow to the end of my little finger". You get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this here truly describes my mother. It was about 1978 or so. I was a scroungy looking, skinny kid in Jr. high. Now, my mother is one of the best cooks in the world. If you don't believe me ask any one who has eaten at her table. So, all my friends loved to be around at meal time. Mom would never ask them if they wanted to stay, she would just call them to the table. Scott Jobe would just walk into the kitchen and ask her when dinner was gonna be ready. Anyway, Roger Hulse was over one evening and mom called us in to eat. So there we sat, me, mom, pop, and Roger. We all had a steak, baked potato, corn, etc. Well, all of us except mom. She had salad. I asked her, while I was shoving food into my mouth, why she wasn't eating a steak. She said she wasn't very hungry and just wanted a salad. Now, my dumb ass bought this answer and continued to shovel. The diner was excellent as always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look back and am surprised I found my way out of bed back then. See, there were no microwaves back in the 'good ol' days', so if you wanted steak you had to thaw it out and that took a day or two. She didn't have steak because Roger was eating hers. When I asked her about this later in life she laughed and said that she had given up several meals to my friends. Mom loved my buddies, especially Roger and Scott. At Rogers father funeral a while back, mom and Scott talked for a quit a while. They always make each other laugh. When mom and pop were leaving I told them thank you for coming (Driving in from Bartlesville when your in your 80's is a big deal) Mom said "We wouldn't miss this, we love Roger." Then it hit me, they knew Ken and wanted to give there condolences, but the main reason they were there was for Roger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have the best mom and pop in the world. If it was socially acceptable, hell, I would live with them. Now, mom would say "You weren't invited" but she would let me anyway. Man, her cookin' every night, I would be in heaven!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;This song was one of the first 'hard rock' albums I bought. When I got home with it, I put it on the record player that was hooked to our cool console television in the living room. I turned it up and ran over to mom who was reading in her chair and shoved the album cover in her face. "Look what I just bought" I said. Now, I expected to see her reel back in horror, cover her ears, and tell me to get that Satan inspired filth out of her house. But all I got was a 'That's nice. Go listen to it in your room, please' What a let down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FpdetvkhIV4&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FpdetvkhIV4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I did the same thing with this album a few years later (There was no cussin' on the album. I still don't cuss in front of mom, pop would kick my liver loose). And all I got this time was 'I can't understand a word. What they are saying?' I was stumped. I had know idea what they were saying. I just took the record off the turn table and went to listen to it in my room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CYZ5XoHxC3I&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CYZ5XoHxC3I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;*Answers to the questions *&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;a) Aglet&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;b) A murder&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;c) Theo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;d) Chief Gall&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adios,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;"&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-4606401721413009636?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/feeds/4606401721413009636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5430848114948101896&amp;postID=4606401721413009636' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/4606401721413009636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5430848114948101896/posts/default/4606401721413009636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com/2009/06/mom.html' title='Mom'/><author><name>~e~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17683327863182727337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/STv9QhahSvI/AAAAAAAAABM/bPCMkpd3t7c/S220/~e~.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430848114948101896.post-2812898811651539072</id><published>2009-06-18T21:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T22:56:37.427-07:00</updated><title type='text'>O.O.D.P.C.B.E.</title><content type='html'>&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348907531573263858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JxpkQ-j6K-0/SjsjD2vV_fI/AAAAAAAAAIk/MACFhBY9Ydw/s320/CIMG1260x.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;aaaaa&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Official Oklahoma Dumpster Pussycats Caught By Eddy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The following is a paid advertisement by Eddy Amigo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hello friends,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what,cats and kittens? *&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;what?&lt;/span&gt;* There is a new trend goin' round. It seems that all the cool daddy-0's and real gone dolls are getting them selves something wild and far-out.

The other day I got in to a debate with a complete imbecile. Which, by the way, are my fav-O-rite people to debate with cause I can't win against the smart people. Now, I was workin' in this house, doin' somethin' ner other, and I hear this dumberd outside rantin' and ravein'. I don't know this guy from Adam, but I could tell right away that he is one of those cats who's brain didn't developed all the way back when he was in the womb. OK, so he is goin' on about how he hates fagots. By God he hates them friends, I know cause he has said it about 50 times. And get this, he hates them fagots cause of the Bible. That's what he said. The Bibles the reason cause it says a man shouldn't lay with another man. Now, I don't know much about nothin' but I don't remember the Bible doin' to much talkin' about hatein' anyone. I assume we were talkin' about the same Bible. But when he pulled that ol' I believe in Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve horse shit I had to get involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I mosey on outside and I say "Do you really believe it's a choice? I kinda feel like those fagots was born that way." "Bullshit" he said real hateful (I took offense to his tone) "Well, I knew some boys that I went to elementary school with that were so sissified that they played with dolls. They grew up to be full fledged flamin' queers. I don't think they even understood about that choice when they was in 3rd grade" He smiled, gave a little snort, and shook his head, like I was to stupid to understand. Now friends, if you want to get my dandruff up, do that smile, snort, and shake thing. My insides were winding up like a big spring. "The Bible explains it all. It ain't no choice" he said firmly. "Ok, ok, don't get mad" I said "Let me ask you this. How do you deal with it?" "Deal with what" his dumb ass replied. I said "You know.....deal with it" He said "What, the fagots?" "No....I mean....well...say your in a bar over on the West side and say you have had a few brewskis and say there is some muscled up dude playin' pool with real tight Wrangles on and he has a kick ass mullet to boot. Now, your thinkin' bout how you would like nothin' more than to drop to your knees and suck the pants right off him. How do you control those urges?" He looked at me like I was crazy "I don't have those urges" he said. "Oh, so it's not a choice" I came back. "It is to a choice, just not for me" He screamed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Now friends here is where I told a little white lie....well...a big whopper actually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I said "You look like a Christian and seem to be pretty well versed with the Bible. Then you know that it says in the book of Job (I was referring to the book of Scott Jobe, one of my stupid friends) and I quote 'If I temptath one, I temptath them all' (I completely made that up. God forgive me) Right? So tell me, how do you fight your homosexual tendencies?" "I don't have any!" he screamed. "Are you calling God a liar!!" I screamed back. "Hell, no!!!" he yelled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Now friends, I learned this next trick from Buggs Bunny. The ol' Rabbit season/duck season number.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u14T5wzicqw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u14T5wzicqw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;So I hollered back "So your saying it's a choice then!!!!" He is red in the face. He yells "IT AIN'T NO CHOICE!!!!!" "Right, that's what I've been saying all along. I'm just glad you weren't callin' God a liar" I said. He was was to confused to fight anymore and just kinda stared at me. But not me, I was ready to fight his inbred, redneck, stupid, stupid, stupid, ass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Now friends, those of you who know me know I have some gay guy friends. But this next part wasn't about them. This is about the gay gals. I have family members who are gay gals. And I don't just mean blood family, I also mean the gay gals they are married to. They are my family also. I have a gay gal friend that I know that I look up to more than any one on this planet (except my folks) I love her too. I wish I had 1/10 of her smarts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;I look him straight in the eyes and said as serious as I have ever said anything "So, how do you feel about lesbians?" This is it. I am past trickin' him. He is gonna say something bad about those people I love and I am gonna knock his damn jaw loose. Say something, pleeeeeease. Then this friend of mine who knows about my family and friends and knows that I am baiting him, jumps in. "That's enough, stop it for Gods sake. No more lets go back to work. Come on Eddy, please" he begs. And it ends. I win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't really know what the morel to the story is...I guess it's be careful what you say around people you don't know, they may love some gay gals, or maybe it's don't blame God for your insecurities, or something along those lines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXd9OIYL9xM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXd9OIYL9xM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Adios,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;~&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5430848114948101896-3916002968682165395?l=eddyshelpfultips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='
