Usually it would be crap, in this instance its snow.. A load of Snow.. what do you do with it? We here in the midwest shovel, blow, scrape, brush off, and plow it.. but do you know…it also has to be loaded out?

I can just see the cast for this one.. The abdominal snowman is the truck driver and stimpy from Ren & Stimpy is the one driving the bob-cat.

What the hell is that in the current economic crunch.. loading out snow? We can’t look at it in some cities, we can’t have it in the middle of the bed in our bedroom communities.. we can’t pile it up at the end of the parking lots or leave it melt.. there are towns out there..that pay people.. alot of overtime, alot of headache..to make the snow disappear.  I think Frank Zappa would have been able to write a really good song on that one..

Uh..oh.. don’t ya know.. we gotta load out that yellow snow! I am telling you people..it isn’t yellow..it’s fresh..powdery snow.. so.. next time.. y’all are walking through your sleepy little village or your bustling busy town..if the snow banks or piles are gone.. ask yourself.. did someone load out snow?

Mickey Rourke Movies

Mickey Rourke surely has provided us with some astounding roles and some not so astounding, 1st and foremost he sizzled in his role his 9-1/2 Weeks no question’s about that.  There was Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man which was a role along side of Don Johnson, where the Smart Ass Harley blow’s into town (Mickey Rourke) and all hell breaks loose.  Actually it bombed at the box offices but it’s worth picking up if you are a Rourke Fan.  Wearing a leather clad jacket with the initials SRV on them, caught my eye off the bat, but the date on the roman numerals is incorrect for the Date of Stevie’s Death.

All I am hoping for is to be able to work-I think my best work is still ahead of me-I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor. Mickey Rourke

He has been beaten up, literally, over the years in the boxing ring, and had a career of that produced several movie flops, but still and all he continues to come back to the screen.  With the release of The Wrestler, it may just be one of the most fitting roles for the 56 year old.

Here is a video that has Mickey Rourke in it from Enrique Iglesias - Hero - his entire attitude is captured, glad to see one of the goodies come back to stage! He first appears around one minute and 33 seconds

Winter wonderland my ass, I’ve had it up to my ears in white stuff, bitter cold and the weather forecasters that drone on and on about the snow coming for Christmas. IT’s HEAR - it was -7 and it ain’t gonna go no where, so shut the hell up!

Anyone longing for a white christmas, it’s in Chicago - if your in the tropics, let’s house swap! Not wife swap, trained my guy right and he trained me, but sadly, I will not see him for the holidays, because he will be out spreading “beat juice” on the streets, yeah, you got it beat juice, because we are in a salt crisis, but my car sure doesn’t look like it, there’s salt residue all over the car, so salt crisis my ass!

We know the roads are bad, you can look out your flippin window and see the cars are moving slow.  We are all gonna get somewhere eventually, I’m hoping they have Hot Damn where ever I go, that will warm ya to the bones.  Cinnamon Schnapps, and the weather forecasters begin to take on a new meaning.  If you are out there driving in what is essentially a blizzard or large snow fall, don’t wine to the reporters, about I’ve been in the car for six hours..wahhhh.. they feed on this mentality..put your big boy pants on, shut the hell up and stay home next time!

Obviously it’s WINTER BOOTS! It’s Chicago - it’s 2 flipping degrees, and the snow is about to fly! I know that because my  husband has called me 4 times today with the weather update.  I didn’t know I married Jerry Taft!

I have an old pair of Sorel boots, they are big, bulky and beginning to leak, not fun for the footies when it’s 2 degree’s out.  My shoe shopping venture started the week after Thanksgiving, realizing perhaps the Black Friday Shoppers cleaned out the stores, I went back out looking for winter boots.  Remember, it’s going to snow for the love of god and trust me, I know there is a beach chair with my name on it somewhere south of the equator, getting there is another story.

So, when is the first day of Winter? Did they change it? I thought it was December 21st, if I’m wrong, I guess I missed that email.  WHY in Chicago, with winter not even having breathed down our necks for a month, you can’t find any winter boots?

Are they all buried with Frank Zappa?

Dreamed I was an Eskimo 

(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)

Frozen wind began to blow 

(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)

Under my boots 'n around my toe  - UNDER MY BOOTS.. WHAT BOOTS MR. Zappa -
you obviously never visited any of the Chicago Suburbs Stores before winter hit? 

Target, Kohls, Famous Footwear, Kmart, Marshalls & TJ Maxx, all in a row, holy crap,
you can almost drive from town to town in the shopping center parking lots..
scary when your brother..aka Jesus is always correct - more on that
some other day.. 

I'm bootless on my journey..wait..one last stop.. Payless -
had one pair of Thinsulate Boots left.. I didn't care what size
they were, my dogs were gonna fit in them.. 

Now I just gotta find a way to get the circulation in my feet back!

What would happen if House met -Boston Legal’s Denny Crane?

Can you imagine how that conversation would go? Would the paintball guns be pulled out or would Gregory House just hit Denny in the head with his cane - which by the way - Hugh Laurie does not limp in real life.  You can see his crazy antics as well on Black Adder.

Where he plays the character of Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Barleigh, I can see Dr. House now talking to Denny about the woman in his life -who would be able to one up the other? Would House win or would Denny?

Dr. House: the fact that the sexual pleasure center of your cerebral cortex has been over-stimulated by spirochetes is a poor basis for a relationship. Learned that one the hard way

Denny Crane: I have an erection. That’s a good sign. I’m ready to go to trial. Lock and load.

Would they talk over each other or at each other or would they make good drinking buddies?

Did you see the political debate between the two of them in Alan’s office? If not, in a nutshell, this is how friends should be… oddly at each others throats, and even brave enough for Alan to shoot Denny in the back with a paintball, that was after Denny took liberties to shoot Alan first.

Reacting to a situation, venting and moving on.  Who doesn’t wish we could do this? Alan Shore & Denny Crane, Democrat verses Republican, but yet, the scotch still goes down just as well and at the end of the day they discuss what went on in their world.  No animosity, no hard feelings and no need for concern if they offended one another.

Radio Shack was the place for electronic freaks when I was growing up…cool parts and kits galore.  Archer stomp boxes and everything (Good Quality Stomp Boxes too) and all the parts that go inside.  Try and find one venue like that now.. NEVER HAPPEN.. unless you are on the crew of Myth Buster’s, I’d sure like to know who their suppliers are.

You could always go to Radio Shack and find what you needed for your wildest projects, they were top dog.  I think you need a new CEO Radio Shack, one that was a hacker of sorts growing up and not a bean counter. Shame on Radio Shack for deserting the American Public, the dreamer and inventor those that wanted to try and get a project accomplished, one that wouldn’t runaway from a project.

I want to build my stuff, not buy all ready made, all the time. Where is Alan Bradley, Archer, etc..? You know what I am talking about, you had the right stuff, where did it go? Are all those projects dead to our society? Our the kids so wrapped up in Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelor, Extreme Makeover and Survivor that we don’t need projects?

When is the last time you heard of someone hitting something head on and creating a project that we used to be able to do from a kit?

Profit over product, that sounds smart to me, look at Wall Street and all the latest bullshit, don’t forget where you came from, I don’t want my tax dollars bailing people out that make idiotic decisions, and than say “poor me”

I say get your shit together..

Idolizing the “American Idol” giving up quality time to enhance your mind with the likes of Super Nanny, Wife Swap and Hells Kitchen, I remember when we could produce our own Hell’s Kitchen with basic experiments that actually taught us something.

Gil Grissom’s encounter with the Sultry Sarah from CSI..the moment of ego’s and attitudes were left on the back burner, did you not have an emotional eruption?  Any fan of CSI-Las Vegas would know that we have longed for Gil Grissom to show some passion for someone alive, in a passionate man way… at that moment, if you noticed, he walked into his office, and there was a moment of hesitation on his part..where he hugged someone with a heartbeat.

If this was Survivor Pearl Island and we could turn around and sue Gil Grissom for tossing Sarah, it may just turn into another Danny Bonaduce Scandal, of who which, I am a huge fan…just cuz his rough, realistic take on “I was a Partridge.. in a pair tree”..or on his stint with a local radio station that SUCKS now.. and the staff are basically un-educated in customer service..

Fairplay..from Survivor Pearl Island..  funny enough name.. you are on Survivor Dude.. it’s called, Survivor, put on your big boy pants and survive….  leave Bonaduce alone.. he’s had his fair share of trouble.. you signed up for the show..you now want to be treated like a princess?  Your not on Princess Diaries dude, you are on a fake all out stupid reality show, that has now brought you notoriety.

You don’t do a flying sprints into someone who once was a boxer and not expect to be tossed…I am curious,  would he have rather spent the night with Mike Tyson? Or Evander Holyfield.. either way.. somethings bound to bite you in your fairplay ass!

Reality..at it’s finest..

I don’t know about you all, but on an average day I get 2 pieces of political “vote for me” email, it got me to thinking about the amount of time, manpower, energy and cost that goes into this.. I am by no means a mathematician, and have asked a few people to help me with some of the figures.. they are not mathematicians either, so.. please correct me if I am wrong….but the numbers are staggering..

I checked a few statistics on line, to see about “not for profit postage” on average it costs 40% less than the regular joe schmo.. a regular piece of mail would than cost a NFP about .16 cents.. are ya with me?

The number of homes in the US is about 50,000,000 - again, coming from online stats, so if the numbers are not completely accurate, my sincere apologies..

If you have that many homes that receive only 1 piece of, “my opponent is a jack ass” solicitation and you should vote for me…

We are talking, $ 8,000,000.00 - I do believe that to be 8 million dollars..

Now, I don’t know whether or not your average American business receives these emails either, so figure that in too.. and we all know that we don’t get just one piece of this mail on a daily basis, it’s much higher than that..

So let’s go with the amount of people in the US… 301,139,947.00 - over 300 million as of 2007, again, pulled it off line, just to see the figures..where in an economic downslide why?

If each person in the US, receives one piece of this mail, the amount in postage alone is what..you do the math..somewhere in the range of 481 million??

If I am wrong, I am wrong, but the numbers are staggering.. and that doesn’t include the cost of printing the materials….

There is something totally wrong when your mother of 78 years old brings up the topic of conversation about The Girls Next Door and a Chocolate hoo-ha, woman business, yum-yum, beaver box or whatever the latest slang is.  But she did, she is totally enthralled about the living arrangements over at the Playboy Mansion.

The Girls Next Door, brings me to our own dose of reality over here in the suburbs of Chicago - our neighbors have moved, and my husband is wondering if we will be smelling Hersheys wafting in the air.  Our “Pleather Clad” cupcake or more like  “Pleather Clad - Cake Roll” has moved out, bringing us new tennants next door.

Pleather Clad Mini Skirts and Faux Motorcycle gear have taken on a disturbing thought on our sleepy little street…

It was a hot summer day, sweltering humidity, the week long rain had ended, and the grass through out the bedroom community needed to be mowed.. Coochie Coo Cake Roll, decided she would take on the challenge, albeit the lawn mower was not a blow start, she went at it dressed up in a T-shirt, not a shortie T-Shirt, but certainly not a 3 XL, which would have been preferable, thank god my windows don’t have a birds eye view.

It was the neighbor that lives across the street that called me a few moments after I heard her handy dandy mower rev up, he was ready to call the ambulance,  not because Coochie Coo cut off an apendage, but because, Coochie Coo’s  Cooch was in plain site for all the East Side of the street to get a bird’s eye view of “The Nest” she had never heard of a BIC or Nair from what I was told.

Out in yard, picking up sticks as she mowed, I think she was wanting a little mowing of her own.. Dressed in a T and lacking any undies.. give’s new meaning to butt’s up.

The Girls Next Door can at least pull off Chocolate Cooch - our’s certainly could not - Feel free to chime if you have any nutty neighbor stories!

Ding Dong and Our neighbors moved, we are getting new “girls next door” seriously…
