After a lengthy and completely imaginary tour
of Paris, and going through a number of musical
entries, I figured that I would get back to basics.
At first putting sheep in Central Park seemed
like a good idea. Until they started disappearing
…one, by one, by one…
Years before Little Richard, and years before
Jerry Lee Lewis, there was Howlin' Sammy.
In spite of his fame as a theoretical physicist,
Albert Einstein was often forced to play the
violin to get his lunch money.
Most of the ballplayers had their Baseball
Annies. But Frank seemed to be the only
player with his own Baseball Marys.
After 4 weeks of intensive training, Coach
Williams was able to get the blonde fashion
model to hold the frisbee correctly.
Before Paris Hilton did it, before Lindsay
Lohan did it, before Britney Spears did
it, before Leelee Sobieski did it…
there was Molly O'Rourke.
The Chamber of Commerce's campaign to create
new jobs did have one positive effect: It
created a job putting up billboards for the
new Create New Jobs campaign.
After arguing for half an hour over who made
the best cherry cobbler, the women finally
decided to "take it outside."
Although Robert was surprised to find the
alligator under his seat at the train station,
he had to admit to himself that it would make
a damn fine paperweight.
It had finally come down to it: The last three
members of the National Rifle Association were
down to fighting over the last rifle.
It was the height of irony that Walter's successful
career as a minstrel man took a nosedive after people
discovered that he was, indeed, half black.
"Okay, who here has ever worked with explosives?
What about you — you ever worked with explosives?"
Everyone pretty much admitted that it was the
strangest production of Swan Lake that they
had ever seen.
Wearing her new girdle, Stella figured that she
had just enough time to get her hair done, go
shopping, and get home before she collapsed
from renal kidney failure.
One way or another, Pierre was sure that his
days as a train engineer were pretty much over.
Oppenheimer smoked nervously, wondering just
how long he could continue to show the
journalists around the nuclear test site
before his balls fell off.
I love these things, Edward. I always get a good giggle out of your genius at this stuff.
I'll second what Linda said, Edward. I enjoy the heck outta these things.Who won The Great Cobbler War?:lol:
Glad you liked it Linda! It's a lot of work, but it's fun. :up:
Thanks Star!History doesn't record who won the Cherry Cobbler War. Only that it seemed to be the same two women who a while later also got into it over pound cake. :p
@ Allan. I think my dog Sasha is a big fan of his. 🙂
I love Howlin' Sammy.
One way or another, Pierre was sure that hisdays as a train engineer were pretty much over.This is just insane. 😆 And this: In spite of his fame as a theoretical physicist,Albert Einstein was often forced to play theviolin to get his lunch money.And this one—-The Chamber of Commerce's campaign to createnew jobs did have one positive effect: Itcreated a job putting up billboards for thenew Create New Jobs campaign.Shoot, I like em all.
:lol::p
I guess it's just my way of poking fun back at this crazy world. 🙂
You know S. So much happened tonight. — good and bad. And at one point I almost walked out of the house. And I put on my jacket and did walk out. Until I realized that Sasha was right — it's a crazy world out there. I came back home. True story. Hey, have a great weekend…:heart:
If you can laugh about it, it ain't completely hopeless yet.:D
@ DarkoMe, watch sleezy movies? Of course not. I just saw the photographs. :p
So, you watched all the movies and photos of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Leelee Sobeiski…:lol:
😀
Really love your little quips on the photos Ed. Especially liked Howlin Sammy, the cherrie cobbler ladies (I thought girls liked to pull hair when they fight) and the Swan Lake scene. In fact, that one is so freaky that it gives me an idea to put the scene in a painting. It reminds me a little of a witchcraft type ceremony…..or something. Do you have any idea what that was really from? Oh, and Einstein kinda looks like he's playing in his pajamas. But it's probably a linen suit. Linen has a way of looking like pjs after about an hour.
There was no info on the provenance of the photo, unfortunately. As for the subject, there was a little caption saying that it was SUPPOSED to be a kind of Satanic ritual thing — so you hit the nail on that one. In any case the photo is so old that it is most assuredly public domain, so if you wanted to use it I would just say go for it. Everybody seems to really like Howlin' Sammy. Too bad recordings of him are so rare. :pAnd thanks for the info on the linen suit. I figured Albert had slept in it — looks that way anyway.
:D:up:
Great stuff… giggling my head off! 😆
:heart:
:lol:And of course everybody just LOVED Alvin and the Chipmonks. That whiney voiced bunch of hacks! They didn't have one-tenth the talent of Howlin' Jack. Whatever happened to that group of Cats, anyway? Plane crash? Drug overdose? Plane crash while simultaneously overdosing?
Rumour has it Howlin' took his first step on his musical career with that gang of jazz-cats from that Disney film with the cats, you know… After a small conflict with the felines he was all of a sudden able to howl with a cracteristic high pitch. Too bad he didn't get any kids.
No, several years later, after biding his time till no chance of suspicion, he hired a hitdog to off those pesky, malevolent felines and they were heard from no more.
Ain't life fun sometime?
:lol:Well. All of this information I never knew. Go figure. 😆
Their bodies were never found.
😆
I love that song, Star. I watched it and sat here waltzing in my chair. Brings back memories.
Aqualion, you ain't right.
Come to think of it, that crashed train engine might also make a nice paperweight. Actually that might have been the purpose with it in the first place, until somebody accidently pushed it out the office window.
"One way or another, Pierre was sure that hisdays as a train engineer were pretty much over."and the paperweight are my faves. funny post, Ed.

Martin, you are the funny one… (I caveat with I don't know if there were any injuries or casualties or is this train wreck was Hollywood, Bollywood, or Ed's computer savvy manipulation…) Martin, you still haven't told me if I get a prize? 😀
I know I ain't right, L2. Neither am I… I often wonder what went wrong. All my relatives seem to be normal in the head.Jill… On account of logistical problems in the human ressources division, the firm is experiencing distributional problems at the moment. My people will contact your people as soon as possible… Erm… Sort of…:whistle:
@ Studio51Here's a link to that train wreck in case you want to read about it.Thanks for stopping in.
@ Star.Thanks for the song, Star. They played that all the time when I was a kid. For some reason. :pHere's one for you. Snakes On a Plane!
Hey. If you can't dump on the blog, where can you dump?:smile:
:yikes:Best version of that song (whatever it was) that I've ever heard, Edward.:lol::p
I guess that's right. But sometimes I wonder if I'm too honest. ????
We should all be so honest.:heart:

oh dear, I hope I'm not 51 yet! and you can call me Jill, Ed… if you like.thanks for the history lesson… what a tragedy! the french do everything so dramatically, it certainly is an artistically rendered accident, if one could ever say such a thing. very sad for the lady and those injured.
Thank you Jill. I'll try to remember that.
Studio 51? Isn't that the place where the US government keeps those dead alien guys. Saw it on TV once… :alien:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51
Aqualion, that is AREA 51 and the stories are still alive and well. I would like to know for myself if they have the body of a dead alien along with the UFO it arrived in.
Last rumours I've heard (and this time I'm not joking) is that what they thought was dead pilots really just was their suits that they left in the wrecked UFO. Due to the biological/mechanical technology earth-scientist first took those suits for life forms. This makes sense, I guess. On the other hand: if the suits were empty, then where are the frigging aliens?
A real conundrum, Aqualion, that our government keeps under Top Secret status.
:alien:

Studio 41 is a hot 80s dance club, isn't it? :p
Maybe Studio 41 is where Jill records? Jill, Tyler, Tx. where I live is a kind of center for Christian music recording. We have Rosewood Studios here, for one, in which many famous Christian artists have recorded—also groups like ZZTop and others.
