Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:30:09 -0800

Truck song of truck songs, "Holocaust Harry's Hotpipe". The tuneignores the gas crunch and wallows is the notion of big powerfulmonsters beyond whatever the non-custom rigs can do."Well I used to drive those regular trucksbefore I built this rigBack in the days when I was brokeBefore I made it bigWhen I sucked dust behind VolvosAnd ate it behind vansMen with Fords and GMCs and even panel vansWhen , kilos was considered a big loadBack in the days when wheelers were the King Kongs of the roadwell that's when I won the Lotto, folks and achieved my hearts desire,and I built this big jet powered truckand put her out for hire.In the song, the man talks about , horse power, transmissions and a computerized gear shift to manage it all.It's funny and bouncy and probably a secret dream of everytrucker. A down to earth singer and songwriter, Cyril May and his musicalcohort Jack McDonald make having a supertruck like described inthis song sound like a really nif...

That's the Christmas spirit

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:30:49 -0800

Last Christmas, Uncle Albert promised his neighbor, Wilson, tofind a way to keep the Christmas spirit alive all year. Youknow, just like Wilson and everybody else wishes people eachyear.Yesterday I was checking my calendar. "Holy smokes! It's almostChristmas. I better check to see if Uncle Albert found a way tokeep the Christmas spirit alive all year."So I put on my boots and buttoned up my jacket. I dashed out thedoor. I came back into the house to put on a scarf. And some gloves.And a hat. And my long-johns. I filled up the thermos with hotchocolate and dug out a pair of ear muffs. "Yup. That's theChristmas spirit," I thought as I headed out once more, tryingto keep my head above the snow.When I reached Uncle Albert's, I could tell something wasdifferent. I wasn't sure quite what, but I suspect it hadsomething to do with the large red and gold sleigh parked in hisdriveway."Say, Uncle Albert. What's with the sleigh?""You like it, Happy Guy? That's part of my Christm...

Vincent Price's Ultimate Horror!

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 07:51:56 -0800

Vincent Price was always of two minds about his horror moviecareer. On the one hand it was a way for an actor to age andkeep working. But the gourmet cook and art collector often feltthat these films were beneath him. Always looking for extra publicity the Saint Louis born thespianpulled many stunts to get attention for his films. One time hewent to the Hollywood Wax museum and disguised himself as hiswax dummy likeness. Standing motionless with a hypodermicsyringe he would wait patiently for unsuspecting people to watchby, and startle them by reaching out and squirting them withwater. Vincent 's ultimate horror involved the world's most famous popstar. He was thrilled to be hired by Michael Jackson to recordthe narration for the song Thriller. He agreed to do it for asmall fee. But when Thriller became the greatest hit of all timehe wanted more money. Michael Jackson refused to compensate himand Price was furious. About years later Vincent was sitting around his hou...

They serve two kinda steaks there. Onecalled the Cowgirl, and one called the Cowboy. On my first visitsome months ago I had loudly pronounced "I wanna eat a Cowgirl!"When Jane asked how I wanted it, I loudly replied "Why, pink inthe middle of course!"

After eating, they invited me to go outafter they got off work. So I told them I would show back upround PM. I rode by at : and seeing the parking lot wasabout empty, decided to stop on in.

Friends -- With Benefits

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 07:04:33 -0800

We've all been there. That long, seemingly endless droughtduring which time you get no play. No action. No sweet lovin'.The dating life is mediocre, and you've got no prospects. But aswe've proven time and time again, we're a resourceful bunch.Many take matters into their own hands. In the Appalachians,many fall into the arms of a sexy sibling. But there's a numberof us that decide to try' 'Friends with benefits.' Yeah, that old song. You start workin' your mojo on yourfriends. And try to stay friends. And, it usually ends indisaster. FWB finds its origins in some breakup many years ago. The guy,sick of all her crap yet still lusting for her body, voiced aproposal. An agreement, if you will. Sex without relationshipcomplications. Totally need-based, not emotion based like whatthose other suckers are doing. Just for a little while. It's theperfect plan. Kinda like a severance package for his package,until it finds 'new employment.' The mistake didn't lie in the idea. Be...
