Copy Cats SockMonkey and BFF Get Tattoos.

I forgot to tell you; yesterday was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

But today.....today is National Underwear Day. So, show your spirit, show your underpants or like me, wear a pair on your head when you venture out today. 


I'm getting really tried of these two; they're starting to creep me out. Every time I turn around they seem to materialize out of thin air. Yesterday evening I was working in the computer room. I went out to get something in the kitchen and two minutes later SockMonkey and BFF were sitting in my chair.

And they're both sporting new tattoos. I don't know where they got the money to pay for them but if I find out Wanda upped their allowance we're going to have a family discussion. If they get more money we're going to curtail Steve and Sparky's catnip consumption.

These two insist on going on vacations with us and now this serious depletion of funds means one of them is going to need a job and soon.

"You may face the loss of more than everything you've ever had," says Steve Moskowitz Esq. "Owe the IRS? We can help. Call our firm for a free consultation."

More than everything I've ever had? Oh no....that is going to be a big problem.


Circa 1949

Fatima may cost the same as other smokes but they are longer which gives you an extra does of nicotine. Fatima 'LONG' cigarettes, ask your dealer for info.

The Fatima brand is long gone but 65 years later people are paying over $6 for a pack of 20 cigarettes.  Ask your DEALER for info...not the store clerk or druggist but the dealer.

At this point I should make a comment about pot legalization but you all know I try to stay away from controversial subjects. That's what Facebook is for.

Over the week end I went through two plastic totes full of cables, cords and basic electronic devices. I had old telephone accessories, stereo connectors, FM antennas and a host of things I will never use or need. 

We bought our first surround sound system in 1989 and I had wires running all over the house. Today a simple sound bar fills the room with better audio.

Technology and the youth of today are going wireless and old folks still need to plug in their Cpap machines.

Does the expression Off the Chain referrer to something good, and if so, why? Have you ever had to remove the tank lid to flush the toilet?

A Nebraska man will spend 180 days behind bars after he was convicted of drunken driving with more than 100 chickens in his SUV.

When Luis Motola-Palacio was pulled over for driving without his headlights, an officer discovered that he had live birds in his vehicle.

Motola-Palacio was convicted of cruelty to livestock as well as drunken driving. The arresting officer said, "Those poor chickens were stuffed in like sardines." 

In addition to the jail time, Motola-Palacio was also ordered not to drive for 15 years and fined $100.

The 36-year-old had a previous run-in with the law when he allegedly blasted a man with a shotgun after an argument broke out over which hogs to take to a drive-in movie.

A Thomson Airways flight from Tunisia to Edinburgh was diverted to London after a drunken passenger attacked crew members with her prosthetic leg.

The woman told the flight crew that she wanted "cigarettes and a parachute." When they asked her to hush up, she allegedly slapped a little girl and then started swinging with her leg.

"We were coming back from Tunisia when this lady kicked off. She was off her face on drink," said witness John Smith. "She slapped a young girl and then assaulted the cabin crew with her prosthetic leg. They took it off her, but she started kicking them with her good leg.....which was actually pretty funny because she kept falling on her arse."

The 48-year-old was subdued and the pilot made an emergency landing in London. The woman was removed by police for questioning.

The flight did make it to Edinburgh after a delay.

"Thomson Airways operates a zero tolerance policy with regards to any disruptive behavior on board. A few years ago a man removed an arm and proceeded to beat himself over the head with it but incidents of this type are extremely rare," said an airline spokesman.

Upset because his plans for celebrating chocolate chip cookie day were spoiled an Illinois man was booked on charges of attempted murder and aggravated domestic battery after he attacked his roommate because she ate his Chips Ahoy cookies for breakfast.

Allen Hall is accused of attacking his 49-year-old female roommate over three cookies.

According to the alleged victim, the 23-year-old began pounding on the bathroom door after he noticed the missing baked goods. When Hall said he was going to kill her, she thought he was kidding. She told him: "If you are going to kill me then go ahead." The suspect wasn't joking around.

"Allen grabbed her around the throat with both of his hands and threw her down into the tub," according to an affidavit. "She hit the back of her head on the tub and this caused a knot on her head."

Had her husband and landlady not arrived on the scene, things could have been much worse. Her husband said, "I knew I shouldn't have left her alone with those cookies, she can't be trusted."

Two men were hospitalized and state police were called after a dispute at the Springdale Golf Course in Fayette County turned physical.

The unnamed golfers, aged 42 and 63, got to the fifth hole and became embroiled in a heated debate over the rules of golf.

They continued arguing until they reached the seventh fairway. After that, things "escalated quickly" and both men ended up with injuries that required treatment.

The argument was centered on rules, or "lack of understanding of said rules."

A fellow golfer said at first he thought they were "arguing about the size of their balls" but he may have been mistaken. "We all use standard balls at this club so it must have been something else."

Throughout the altercation the older man used a 6-iron and the younger his driver.

It's possible that assault charges will be filed.

It's getting so you can't even enjoy a quiet Sunday morning on the old links.
