Fresh Hula Hoops 2010

Beings how I was there an all when Art Linkletter introduced the hula hoop in the mid 50's and I hooped at least 4 times in my life. When I saw this I was greatly impressed.

What Fresh Hell! Blue Tick Coonhound

I took another queue from JadedJ, re: maybe a Blue Tick Coonhound (BTC) would help ward off unwelcome visitors (UV) from my door. (see last post) I have learned that showing up in skivvies has little affect upon the UV’s.

I also came across this interesting thought.

"No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true."

Oscar Wilde said that.

It sorta casts the Tea Bag Party and Glenn Beck in a different light, to my way of thinking.

Definitions of Sequitur on the Web:
A non sequitur is a conversational and literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is a comment which, due to its apparent lack of meaning relative to what it follows, seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing, as in the following exchange:
The use of non sequitur in ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequitur
A logical conclusion or consequence of facts

literally, "and the following";

What Fresh Hell? Padro and Tire salespeople

This post is a mishmash.

First - a bitch. Crashed my desktop, but we've all been there. It will be back.

Second - I was over to Banquet of Consequences Too and discovered that JadedJ did not fully understand the meaning of 'graphic' or so he said. So it seems to be ok to rip him off. I could be wrong on that, but we'll see. I like his inspiration, and have for a while, hell it's even in my banner. His subject seemed so lonely, maybe worried about who will pay for the party and all that Merlot. Maybe he should pass that empty plate 'round.

The trinity is kinda spookie, if you ask me.

So there, I am on a quite weekday evening, in my skivies, watching porn, and cussin' at the tv news, when there is a knock at the door. Someone rapping gently tapping, at my wooden door. Yeah well, Like a Chump I answered. (Words of the Rev. Punch in red)

A couple that looked like christians, one could tell by the books they carried, stood there.

She asked if I know the lord's prayer. (yes)

She began to read it. (I know it well)

Do you know of the kingdom of god? (yes)

where is it? (here, placed my hand over my heart, like i was pledging allegiance to the flag)

she then went to the old testament and began to read. (I practiced my breathing, thought of the nakked ladies on my computer screen, and what the hell's goin' on in the Gulf)

she asked about the government, was it the best we can have? (yes, this is the greatest form of government on the planet)

what about the kingdom of god? (it is here on earth)

do you think jesus is coming back? (i did not tell her that he went into business with Padro and they sell tires down on 14th street, ya know, where the girls hang out, well, when the cops ain't 'round, 'n stuff, Nope (what i did said was NO! come on now. think about it, as we speak he is sitin' on the couch arguin' with his ol' man 'bout coming back. talk goes something like 'give me a break' look at those chumps, killin' and hatin' in the your name, and stuff.' (i then said if the muslims, jews and christians, ya know, the ones that pray to the god of abraham were taken off the face of earth we would do quite well thank you. (i saw her eyes glaze over, he stepped back))))

she then said 'it was nice talking with you and they left. (dang, i was just getting to the good part, phooey)

It is now sunday morning and no one is knockin' on my door.

See I wasn't kidding about Pedro.

Now I'm getting worried.

I put up a post yesterday titled 'What Fresh Hell, ca. 1956'

I have had two comments and one by myself, which I cannot see. Don't know what is going on but, damnit it all to hell.

PENolan said, "The precise juxtaposition renders me speechless" PENo...it brought a nervous laugh for me.

Andrew said "Wow. Heavy shit my man." Andrew...We really might be slouching toward Gommorrah.

I read each comment and appreciate your taking the time to make them. It is beyond me as to what is going on, but thank you for reading.

Here is a Photo that has nothing to do with anything. But I like it.

What Fresh Hell, ca. 1956

Let’s see now, 1956.

Ike was running for his second term as President.

Ike was running up hits with the Kings of Rhythm, and had just met Tina.

Buck Baker won the NASCAR championship.

February 23: Norma Jean Mortenson changed her name to Marilyn Monroe.

Minimum wage in U.S. was $1.00 per hour.

Cost of a first class postage stamp was 3 cents.

January 28: Elvis Presley made his first television appearance on The Dorsey Brothers Stage Show.

October 1: Ernie Kovacs becomes the host for NBC's The Tonight Show on Mondays and Tuesdays.

"Blue Suede Shoes" sung by Carl Perkins was a hit in 1956.

Ok, enough of that.

What does Glenn Beck have to say about US?

"To restore America we need less Marx and more Madison."

"Political Correctness doesn't change us, it shuts us up."

"It does not have to be that the greatest generation is behind us. It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living. It will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that."

"We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed."

"Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one."

"Let me tell you, it is still morning in America. It just happens to be kind of a head pounding, hung over for four hours in America - and it's shaping up to be a nasty day, but its still morning in America."

"No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it."

"The majority does not rule in America, but the minority shouldn't hijack it. And it's because we're afraid. They have isolated us and made us feel as though we're alone. We're not."
